Macintoshman: Reread my post about installing applications on Ubuntu. And get a new version of it. You can go to a bookstore and get a handy book of how to use it with a DVD in the back for less than $20. I have not had to compile one application in the two years I've been using Ubuntu. All of...

Jesus, that's HOW old? At least 5 years. You do realize you're the one asking "You had to do what with the seat?" here... The person who doesn't realize it's good if you give it a chance... Etc.

I was looking around on the giant wall of donated computing accessories at my school's computer hardware club room, and I found not one but two USB Sun Crossbow mice. Tested 'em and they both work. They're absolute beauties to use, feel great, and the clicking is has a nice 'feel' to it. They're...

Macintoshman: I have to say that if you took 2 hours to get Ubuntu to play an MP3 then I don't know exactly what you're doing wrong. You click Applications, go to the bottom, click Add/Remove, go to 'Sound & Video,' and select any application that says 'Media Player' in the description...

Macster: Pity to see the language Nazis are here too. Ah well, I won't start fights. Edited for language. No Windows for me. I have a copy installed on one of my newer machines(3.0ghz P4) and it doesn't even run well on that. And if I wanted to make a NAS, I would never use Windows.. Linux is...

I got bored today and I fixed up a few of the PCs that are sitting around my house doing nothing in particular. They both have minor problems but nothing that can't be worked around. The first: AMD Duron 750mhz, 576mb RAM, currently no HD, 64mb nVidia graphics card(PCI) Broken AGP slot The...

Whoa, nice on the zip disks, those are ridiculously expensive here.

macintoshman: Because it works. And it has quite a lot more available applications than Solaris. I personally use both and prefer Linux simply because it has quite a few more of the applications that I need.

I don't need one but a friend of mine who lives close might; how much do you want for it? And DOES IT HAVE A MONITOR? It's an unholy pain finding those.

Hi, I have a Powerbook G3 with the bronze keyboard, a 400mhz processor, and 320mb of RAM. It has OS9 and OS 10.3 on it. Since OSX disagrees with the DVD drive on it(won't let me play DVDs) I want to boot into OS9 to watch a few while I'm away(on vacation right now). However, it doesn't appear...

I was at Computer Hardware club at my school and the teacher who hosts it has a giant back room filled with computer parts(and occasionally whole computers) He's an awesome teacher and more or less if we find something there then we can use it(people donate stuff to him so almost all of it is...

Patrikool: That was one of the things I tried. Several times. Replacing the PRAM battery with a new one was the only thing that worked.

It's the standard half-AA battery. A LC2 will NOT work without one or with a low-voltage one. Believe me, I know this from experience. What mine did was something like this: Turn on. Wait for about 30 seconds, booting normally. Bong and reboot. Bong and reboot. Bong and reboot. As far as...

Mmm, Quake 1... Deathmatches are the most fast paced and best of ANY FPS of any time period. Team Fortress 1 is awesome.

Oooooh, IIe...

That... is epic. No other word. I can imagine working on it as an artist though. I love drawing and can't get the hang of doing it on the computer directly.

Where do you live that they're so expensive? BINs tend to run between 60 and 80 USD...Including shipping. The books and disks are cool but I wouldn't bump the price 20-40 for them...

No hard drive noise? If so, probably dead screen. If not, probably dead everything.

Sigh... Is 'I Can't Decide' this channel's theme now?

91% or higher isopropyl alcohol works as well, no salts, just alcohol and purified water(quoth my trusty bottle's label)
