Personally, I have an AMD Athlon XP dedicated to WinXP and an Intel P4 dedicated to Red Hat. If you're going to dual boot, have win installed first, then install linux on a second partition and use GRUB (a boot loader which comes built into the installs of many distributions, …

The changes were slight, but just curious if any of you noticed some changes I made to the homepage. I adjusted the width of the columns so that the time/date display is easier to read. Also, I changed all of the descriptions for the different boards. I'm still debating whether …

I'm thinking about buying my first mac soon (a desktop). I'm basically very intrigued by the bsd-based OS X. In any case ... I'm looking to make a purchase as early as sometime this summer, but I'm willing to wait. Are the G5's coming out soon, or at all? Or …

I think I have a virus!! Yesterday, my PC suddenly went up to 100% cpu and never came back down. Then, today, random message boxes kept popping up on my screen (no apps open). One of them, for example, said "We Were Four Guys ... That's All[interview].wma" Then I got …

Looks like it has been all resolved! I called up OptOnline and they fixed the problem. It seems it was just us! The rest of the world was all seeing the new version right from the start.

I've noticed that when I close the forum and then re-open it, instead of the "Hey, TechTalkGal" message I usually get, it says "Welcome Guest" ... Well, just wanted to let you know that I've discovered that there is no need to re-login when this happens. Just refresh your page …

I've been browsing the forum and I'm just really happy overall with the way this php version turned out! Let me know all your opinions ... And get your friends to post!! This forum is here to stay. I won't *LET* it die.

After all that effort (still ongoing) to convert from Perl/.txt files to PHP/MySQL ... was it worth the headache? ;D Let me know! Plus ... lets test out the first poll of the new boards !!

Whew, Dan, thanks for the encouragement. Now that the forum has the ability to use polls, lets start voting! ... Also, later this weekend I'll try to figure out why oh why half of the posts aren't correctly linked to the members who posted them (but rather shows the peeps …

There are distributions specificially for old / slower pcs. Try one of the light footprint distros out there. You can fit an entire linux system in less than 50 mb.

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Yo, do you think it would work if Apple came out with an OS for the PC to compete with Windows ?

Does anyone know if Windows XP fully supports USB 2.0 yet? What about the mobos and USB PCI cards that are out claiming to support USB 2.0?

Guess I gotta add an ftp and http server section to my Networking and Internet section, eh? ;D

Anyone have any comments on Apache for Windows? Is it really as unstable as everyone says it is? It seems it's just a port of the infamous UNIX Apache ... with "usr" and "bin" and other UNIX folders ... hmm

Yeah, deerfield makes some good stuff I used to use WinGate (proxy server software) with Win2k ... then when I upgraded to WinXP I just started using Internet Connection Sharing.

To download files from an ftp site, you need an ftp client such as CuteFTP, WS_FTP, or SmartFTP (my favorite). If you go to download.com, there will be a listing of at least 30 to choose from ;) Once your there, specify the IP or name of the PC you …

Yea I was just talking to Jimmy and he gets 300 or something upload ... I just tested and I got 900ish

I've got a linux (yes, linux) PC that's a P4 1.8GHz with 512MB DDR RAM, an ATI Radeon video card, SoundBlaster Live! Platinum sound card, a 60 gig 7200 rpm drive, a 21" monitor, and a case that is modeled after tux the penguin! Yes, this is just bragging. But …

Anyone know of any cheats or trainers for Airport Tycoon? It's a really crappy game but I'm looking for trainers for it all the same :-P

Cheating is good for some games ... like Game Genie on the ol' Nintendo and Sega systems. As far as most computer games, cheating can help you learn the game ... but then it isn't fun once you know you *could* do it yourself if you really tried. Ok, that's …

I promise you - it's a hopeless case convincing me to start playing Diablo!

For the life of me, does anyone know why all the moderators don't have their "stars" when they post! Inscissor does ?! Gotta go figure this one out !!!

OK, if you've been having problems with this forum lately (e.g. things all look wacked) it's because I've been experimenting with some mods. If you see the chat icon at the top (in the navigation bar), do me a favor and see if you can get it to do shit. …

I'm checking on "check this if you wish to be notified of replies to this topic ...";

This will depend on how popular this board gets, but what do you people think about deleting old posts? After how many days should they be deleted? (30 days, 2 months, etc.?) I mean it's really great to have a lot of posts ... and sometimes questions you may have …

Listen everyone ... I know this site is loading very very slow! I'm looking into fixing the problem. It turns out it's on the server's end. The host I am using is looking into fixing the problem sometime tomorrow. If they aren't successful, I'm going to end up switching hosts …

I hope so! What we need now are tutorials and reviews. So, please, people! If you can write *anyting* please just send it off to [email protected] ... thanx dudes and dudettes. ... this goes for registry tweaks, etc. :)
