Have to agree with a few other posters...I am Texas born and will never leave. As for the tech support...yeah, my favorite is when you call them up and actually know what you are talking about. It is a rather interesting sound to hear as flip charts go whizzing by as the techs attempt to...

Question though..and I am not trying to be an a**, but did you expect BF2 to be a strategy game like C&C...if so...you are in a totally different genre of the gaming world. I used to suck at fps...so I stuck to strategy games like C & C...then I discovered halo for the pc (didn't have the xbox...

I just played about an hour of FEAR. I have a 9600XT and a p4 2.4 ghz 533 MHz fsb along with 768 MB of RDRAM. That being said, I put everything at medium and some of the effects at low. I learned the following...I now know why I play things like Neverwinter Nights and strategy games....FEAR...

Yeah, I thought about building a cold box out of plexi. Basically a box to hold all my networking gear with 8 120mm fans and two fan controller for maximum air flow!. Just got to figure out all the measurements and stuff.

Thanks for the help! I think my router was not smart enough like you said to get renew the connection. I turned everything off and unplugged the modem and router. Then I let it sit for about and hour, then plugged in and booted up the modem, then the router and then the computers. Everything...

Hey gang, I am having a little trouble with my internet connection. I have a d-link cable modem that is connected to a linksys voip router (the router is the one I got from vonage when I signed up with them). Anywho, I have to use the router because my mom depends on the phone connection for...

I'm from northeast Texas and like you we always talk about the weather...mainly how hot it is right now! The saying when in Texas "Wait five minutes and the weather will change!" I live in a small town, but I love Texas and wouldn't ever want to live anywhere else...visit a few place, yes...

Rats! '94...sorry 'bout that...little rusty since I discovered computers a few years ago!! Anywho, yeah, I have heard and see pictures from my grandparents about the beauty of Norway....would love to see some of the landscape..fjords and such. Also, the roadway troll houses intrigue me! :D...

I searched my path and did some sniffing, but didn't find tid.c and when I typed in your program, I get some errors. However, I don't think that is your fault...I have a feeling that I might not have the gcc complier becuase I am running a live cd version of linux. However, once I get a full...

Quick question...how do I use gcc tid.c -o time do I type it in the terminal window? If not, how do I get to the gcc compiler? From there I know what to do...I just don't know where the gcc compiler is. That is ironic about your great-grandmothers! I was wondering if you were a teacher or...

HHunt, Thanks again for all of your explanations! Also, thanks for all of the progam tips...I will look into those for my server once I set it up. I can't wait to start programming in linux...once I get a second hdd..I am going to put a full install of linux on it and do a dual boot or...

Now that was just cool!! Sure it is a simple program, but I feel like a million bucks right now! Also, thanks for the explanation on the steps...that really helped me understand what was going on! I really like this...I am definitely going to get into working with shells and such! Okay...

Yeah I had that thought once I started asking so much about linux. So, moderator if you feel the need to please move this to the linux forum.

HHunt, Thanks for the screen shot! That look at lot like the limited coding I did in c and c++. I mean I guess there should be similarities, but from what I had heard in the past, I guess I though that linux used some kind of discreet hard to understand language. But now I see it is not and...

Yeah, I know and I am really glad becuase I like knowing what is going on behind the scenes. I mean not to bash windows...I still use it and like it, but I just feel like linux will let me see and do more on the the code level. Anywho, thanks again to all for the help so far...I know I will...

ahh...okay...thanks..I never realized so much information was built into the program. I mean I knew there were help files and such, but those information commands are really helpful as I am starting to grasp linux.

Oh yeah, I also meant to ask..if that is so with bash and the terminal window, do any of you have a link to a sample simple bash shell that I could run to see it work? (Maybe something like the first program in a c or c++ class...you know the one where you write a few program lines to say hello...

I'll look into kate..I was exploring the terminal window...is that the same as the shell? When I typed help, it gave me a few things, then said to type info bash to learn more about it. So, what all can I do with bash..bash is the command editor..yes?

Thanks again ya'll! I really appreciate all of the help although I fear I am sinking deeper and deeper into linux with no sign of return to anything conventional...but I like it!! :D

HHunt, Thanks for the info! So basically, just write the program in the text editor, then open the compiler and tell it the file to compile and off you go..yes? I have done a little reading on python and most people recommend it as one of the beginner languages...they say it is very...

That kinda happened to me as well. Three years ago I got my pc from gateway, because I had no idea about pcs. However, after a few upgrades, etc. I now know a ton more than I did three years ago. I mean I am by no means an expert, but I can troubleshoot most of my own problems and my family's...

Ahhh...okay...maybe a dumb question, but how to get I get the gnu development area once I am in linux?

Thanks! One quesiton though...do ya'll know any c or c++ compilers for linux...I have a limited amount of programming knowledge, but I want to play around. Or is there a better language to use for linux that I can use..preferably one that has some basic online tutorials. I have heard of...

well, I posted this in the linux forum, but currently I am running on a ubuntu live cd session and I have to say that linux looks great so far! I really like it...the interfaces and everything are very well laid out and every bit of the hardware on my rig was detected and works! I was afraid...

This is so cool...right now I am using the ubuntu live cd for a live session! Yeah, okay, this is kinda a dumb post, but I am really impressed! Granted I only have a limited amount of things I can do at the moment, but dang I really like this linux stuff! I had no problems with recognition...

Drool...those are some great pics and very nice specs...how is the cooling on that silverstone case?

xp home sp2 Usually I go for months at a time...only reason I would reboot is for system updates or if the power is knocked out by a storm. So, probably two or three months max.

I've really only used intel..before my current rig I had an old p2 and an amd k6 (I think!) Anywho, the main reason I am running an intel is because three years ago, when I knew nothing about computers, I got my rig from gateway, so I got an intel cpu. I have done a few minor upgrades..ram, vid...

Sure thing...I have already started to read up on some of that stuff and it looks really interesting!

ranstlin, Thanks for the clarification...I get it now! That would be nice to use since it has all those programs in one. Thanks agian for the link and the help!

HHunt, Thank you for clarifying for me...like I said, all this stuff is new to me, but it seems really interesting and very powerful once you master it..or I guess learn if fairly well! jpmkm, You got it right..like I said, this is just an experimentation server. I mean I want it to work...

Will search around some more to find student discounts! I might try windows if I can get my hands on a copy of ms server 2003. But, linux does intrigue me...like I said though my server is not a must have at the moment, so I might just get a linux book and a live cd and play around with...

Quick question...out of curiosity...where do you get ms server 2003...I was looking and all I could find was copies for $500 plus.

Wow! Thanks everybody for the help! Currenly I have about $50 in my budget for this server, so I was hoping to go open source. I found a book or two on oreilly that look good for linux (anybody have any other recommendations or has anybody used oreilly?) and I thought I would start there...

Been doing some looking and found this incase anybody else wants to know about using a linux box as an ap. Linux ap

Oh yeah, I also meant to ask...what is a good server linux distribution? Is bsd better?

Thanks ya'll for the help. I figured linux/bsd would be the way to go...I have been doing some looking and that seems to be the os that most people use. I also agree that it would probably be easier for me to go with one thing at a time..I just wanted to lay it all out so that I don't go buy...

Howdy all, I might be getting an old pc from my uncle and was thinking about setting up a server of sorts. I was thinking a kind of all in one ftp, web, email, firewall, etc. So, my first question is if that is possible? My second question deals with a post I made earlier about setting up a...

ktwebb, Guess you really do learn something new everyday! Didn't know I could do that with a wireless router. I think I will give that a go...thanks for the tip!
