    Craigslist Is Top Source of Prostitution

    My biggest complaint about all this is that Craigslist seems to be fine with these types of "erotic" sections and "casual encounter" sections, but forbids a section for guns. Lame...

    Giving it a try..

    sboucher, what type of operating system background do you have? Ubuntu can be very frustrating if you are coming directly from Windows XP, Vista, etc. The processes and logic in finding things can be too different. My first taste of Linux came from very specific tools using Linux that were...

    Linux USB boot: vmlinuz needs to load USB modules - Car PC

    I've never used vmlinuz, but since you're looking for a super small installation, how about Damn Small Linux? http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/ I've got tons of older hardware sitting around that I wanted to find a good use for, and DSL was perfect for putting together several older lower-power...

    Cant get sound to work in ubuntu 8.10, Help pls?

    What kind of motherboard do you have? Are you plugging the headphones into the rear audio jack, or into a dedicated motherboard header for front audio ports? This actually sound like the jack may not be engaging (or does not have) a built in amp for headphones. Haven't encountered this in Linux...

    Radeon 9200 PCI and KDE 4.0

    Which distribution of Linux are you running? You say you have KDE 4.0... so, maybe Kubuntu??? In any case, the last version of ATI's fglrx driver that supported the 9200 was from two-and-a-half years ago. That's from the suckage era for ATI Linux support. Bottom line is, that card is not...

    Nigerian Accused in Scheme to Swindle Citibank

    Actually, Nigeria, is one of the most plentiful nations anywhere. But hey! Why work at developing those resources when you can steal, right?

    back to AMD what mobo?

    I was afraid you might say that. You should probably check very carefully to make sure whatever board/chipset you have is supported by WinServ2008. I have zero experience with WinServ2008. So can't help there.

    back to AMD what mobo?

    My onboard nVidia RAID experiences have never been very good. Important question to ask though, and I should have thought sooner, would be, what OS do you plan on using?

    back to AMD what mobo?

    So you're going to use the mobo's onboard raid? I have had better experiences with AMD's newer RAID than nVidia's. The Gigabyte board Adidas4275 lists looks nice. For a slightly less pricey board I'd look at: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157141 Asrock or...

    Think AMD will pick up triple channel memory?

    No need for triple channel. Honestly, not much need even for dual channel the way their memory controller works.

    9600gso help needed

    If it's cheap enough, just get it. Either way, it's a decent card. When you have it, you can play around with Rivatuner and see what you've really got there. There may even be things you can unlock - extra shaders and whatnot. The 9600 series is just a hodge-podge of left over 8800's, and the...

    4870 and Ubuntu 8.10

    Not too terribly surprising since the 4870 is a somewhat newer card, but still, it's been around long enough that ATI should not have driver issues. However, I seem to recall from the Ubuntu boards other people having graphics problems in 8.10 that were not present in 8.04. Have you tried...

    LINUX HELP!

    Why specifically Ubuntu? I love Ubuntu and dual boot two machines, and have Xubuntu set up on my kid's laptop. But if you're putting these machines in your business, it seems to me that you would want something that will not eat up your valuable time just learning it. Since you've got a...

    Unable to change language in Windows XP SP3

    You shouldn't be having this problem at all :confused:. You should be able to go to Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options -> Languages tab -> Details -> Add ... whichever language you want. If you want to add an east Asian language ( I install Japanese for my wife), it will help if...

    FS: HP Nvidia Quadro NVS 280 PCI 64MB

    The PCI version of the Quadro NVS line. This card was used to connect many monitors to my system for a short time. It is a nice little card to have if you only have PCI slots available, but would like extra monitors. It uses the NV34 GPU, so no serious Crysis gaming, but it runs Half Life 2...

    Ubuntu 8.10 install woes

    I've never had this specific issue with Ubuntu and a wired connection, but it seems that others have, and one guy posted a very detailed solution: http://www.jamesonwilliams.com/hardy-r8168.html That solution is for 8.04, but still may work for 8.11 - it seems to me that it would. Don't...
