    Best OS to use for battery life

    FWIW, I'm not sure any distro is better than another when it comes to power consumption. Unless you're gonna forego a desktop and run command line for everything. Two programs that will help are "laptop-mode-tools" and "powertop". I used them when battery life was critical and they helped a...

    I want to put Ubuntu on my Laptop but....

    It might be the update released yesterday "3.0.0.15". My laptop wouldn't boot after installing it. The screen went kinda black, then slowly went to all white. Very weird. Had to F8(or F5, F6, F7, I hit them all, lol) to select the previous install.

    Enablng USB in Qemu for Thumbdrive

    I have an XP install w/ Qemu to do some VB classwork. The only disc available was SP2 and I need to install SP3 and some other apps. I have what I need on a thumbdrive (and on my hard drive). But I can't get usb working for this vm. I have tried adding the option "-usb" mentioned in...

    Ubuntu Upgrade Question 11.04 to 11.10

    Well, school has started so I'm not interested in a reinstall or downgrade. Not until I get my other laptop back. Does anyone know what the command is in the drop down menu? The one that says "Enable Mobile Broadband"? I could put that in the Startup Applications. One difference I noticed...

    Ubuntu Upgrade Question 11.04 to 11.10

    Tried nm-connection-editor but no luck. It just launches the same window I access through the GUI. Would it be under the keyfile plugin or ifupdown for NetworkManager.conf?

    Ubuntu Upgrade Question 11.04 to 11.10

    That wouldn't be a problem. But I have another laptop with 11.10 installed and it doesn't do the auto connect either. That is how I noticed it before. A reinstall won't help in this case. :( Must be some setting that went back to default on upgrade. But there are few options in the network...

    Ubuntu Upgrade Question 11.04 to 11.10

    Upgraded on my laptop yesterday. Now my cellular modem doesn't automatically connect at boot up, which it did with 11.04. It was a nice feature and I would like to re-enable it. It is a Cricket 1705 if that matters. Any clues? Thanks!

    Tonight's SERIES PREMIER Caprica Episode [01-22-2010] - [Episode #0101. "Pilot."]...

    The extended pilot has been on Hulu for months. There are 11 shows already filmed. But I don't see this lasting more than 2 seasons tops. The casting is pretty good and it could be interesting to see how things developed between the two races. But there is nothing in the entire premise to keep...

    Haiti telethon on NBC

    I'm for that. Give them both a pull tab from an old beer can and let them face off in a death match. I'd watch that.

    International Space Station gets internet access!

    Am I the only one who is surprised that they didn't always have internet up there? Jesus, they could talk to guys on the moon 40 years ago, they just now figured out how send packets a couple hundred miles wirelessly?

    Looking for a movie title

    Arcadio's http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2044154 thread made me think of this movie. I was going to recommend it to him. Unfortunately, it has been at least 30 years since I last saw it and I cannot remember the title. It takes place during a revolution in China. I'm not sure...

    Good WW2 movies from the German perspective?

    "All Quiet on the Western Front" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0020629/ It's about WWI from a German perspective. Worth watching.

    Has Music Already Peaked?

    Music peaks personally for everyone around the time they first start getting laid. For pretty much everyone, it is a significant change in lifestyle that is usually for the better. The music that we are listening to during that time obviously has a bigger impact on us. Music itself doesn't...

    Bathroom light fixtures - Center over each sink or to the mirror?

    Not knowing the exact layout of your bath (A pic would be helpful). I would recommend a single 6-8 light bar type fixture centered on the entire vanity. That will negate a lot of the shadows dullard is referring to. And it will only require one light outlet for power. An added bonus is it will...

    NFL Network is racist

    They're grown men. They dress themselves. ESPN doesn't have a wardrobe room.
