We're in the 21st century after all! You just made my day :D That has always annoyed the crap out of me with Windows, working in one window and referring to another, having to click it to scroll down then click back. Am I the only one that finds the new Settings menu a bit redundant? I've...

Well 2 shits for me... just bought one last week. :(

I've been looking for a small/light Linux machine to use for basic web browsing, remote management, ssh, etc. I don't want to spend a whole lot because I really don't need another machine, and I want something I can toss around without feeling bad about it. A Chromebook was my first thought...

I've used clear nail polish on the ends of electrical tape on a wiring harness. Not sure I'd want to do very many cables that way though.

My parents are on 1.5/512.. something more than that :eek: It's interesting at Christmas time when my brother and his family are back for a week. I finally got a new modem yesterday to take advantage of Cox's doubled speeds 25/? > 50/5. I haven't seen more than 31, but there's been issues...

I have issues with Netflix skipping and stuttering during playback sometimes. I'm not sure if it is related to Kodi running in the background, since a reboot usually fixes it. One would think it wouldn't be an issue with the specs of the box. Prime content has no issue. I had all but given...

UPDATE Just wanted to update that I figured it out for anyone that may come across this. I had to manually run the discovery.php script against the host to pick up the new info. The docs make it sound like all that's needed is to fill in the ipmi credentials in the host config, but obviously...

I set up a LibreNMS vm to play around with monitoring, but I can't seem to get any ipmi information from my Supermicro board. Currently it's monitoring the following. *Esxi 5.5 on the mentioned SM machine. IPMI configured VM's on this host: *OmniOS storage VM *Ubuntu 12.04 server mysql...

That is a really good deal. I can't find much of anything about using it with Cox though. Not sure it's worth the savings to have to potentially deal with their grief because it's not a "supported device" if I were to ever have problems.:confused:

Sad day. The one day I don't check and I miss it again. :( I've been putting off upgrading since Cox doubled their speeds because I can't bring myself to spend 70 bucks on something as unsexy as a cable modem... with them constantly raising their prices though, I might as well take advantage...

Every year there's an article proclaiming that this is going to be the year of Linux on the desktop. If MS made this move I could actually maybe possibly see this become somewhat of a reality. Most likely in the form of something like ChromeOS or other highly obscured form. I never really...

Pretty sure my cat has a better idea of what MS is doing that MS does. By the time the "free upgrade" period is done, most people are going to be in one of two camps; people that have upgraded to 10, or people who chose not to upgrade. How much money does MS really make selling retail copies...

I've used Vbox for years and it's always worked well for what I need. I have noticed that the Windows version seems like it gets more and more issues with every release though. Seems like it always crashes any more when I shut down a guest.

I looked at Elementary OS a while back, and while it looked great (probably the most coherent system "control panel" next to OS X), I couldn't get on board with some of their philosophies. No minimize button? Apps should just retain their state, close, and reopen instead? Seemed like a (not...

I read all four pages... I feel like I deserve something.. a cookie maybe? And that's really a claim.
