I think they are being reported incorrectly. I have a buttload of cd that were ripped into a VBR format, and a lot of them will report abnormally low bit rates, but if you listen to the files it's...

You can access the windows files you need if you do a live boot via USB/CD. The Ubuntu live cd works fine. You won't have to do anything to make the USB work. Just go into places on the menu after...

November of '09. My desktop took a dump, so I was forced to use the laptop for a while. My 10 year old was basically the only person who used it for the past year and a half, so you know it was...

I've got a filter hooked up to my fridge at home.
At work, there's a tap drinking fountain that tastes pretty good if you let it run for a few seconds.
I definitely prefer the taste of the...

I actually hope they just end it after this season.
I don't think moving some one else up from within would work. Michael Scott was a horrible boss, Dwight would be just as bad, but he'd probably...

It's hard for me to pick a favorite, so here are some of my faves (in no particular order):

The Simpsons
Futurama
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
The Office
Community
Mythbusters
Anthony...

I have about 50Gb and growing. I don't have any idea how many CDs I have, but I've ripped about 2/3rds of them (All that I listen to regularly). Maybe about 10 albums were digital downloads.
My...

It sounds like you were an excellent boss. People like you are easy to work for, and I wish there were more like you. A lot of managers need to remember to treat people like people, and not like a...

Although, I'm not the OP, I've been following this thread. I posted earlier that I've been out of work for a year and a half.

I got a job today!!! I'm so relieved. Not the money I want to start...

Thankfully, all of my friends who always needed help have finally learned to fix their own stuff.
I have one cousin who will call for help every now and again. Because she doesn't call that often,...

I cast a vote for the Sansa lines, like the Fuze & the Clip.
I have a Fuze, and it works well with Linux. It also has a SDHC card slot, so you can add up to 32GB of memory. RockBox is also...

Ahh, I see. I'm still stuck in the 20th century with my equipment, so I don't know much about HDMI. The only tip I can give is to download alsamixer if you don't have it already (available in the...

Give RipperX a spin. It is not nearly as geeky as GRIP. Simple to set up.
The only problem I had with it is that it quit tagging any track after #10 for some reason, and only on one computer. ...

See at the end of each field, there is a little selector box there. Click that to ensure that the changes will be made to all of the selected files. Then click on save.

One tip I can give is to make sure you use a ripper that uses LAME. LAME seems to do a better job at gapless ripping. I used RipperX in the past, until it started acting weird, then I switched to...

I don't know about the HDMI, but I can help you with the line out sound. That should be pretty easy.

First you have to buy a 1/4" to RCA plug adaptor. The 1/4" plug end looks like a headphone...

I agree. I use it to digitize vinyl and cassettes so I can put them on Cds or my MP3 player. Audacity works better than a music studio program I purchased a few years ago.

My favorite part is...

I have a functioning Commodore 64 out in the garage with both the 1541 5 1/4" floppy and 1571 3 1/2" floppy drive. I have probably about 50 or so total discs for both. I don't have the adapter to...

Here is a link to a video showing someone using a proof of concept in Ubuntu.

I had to have some pins removed from my hand after surgery. They were going to just do a local, and pull them while I was awake. I insisted on being put under because of being afraid of exactly...

I've been unemployed for about a year and a half, but only actively looking for a job for about 3 months.
I've had several interviews, and a job offer that got rescinded because I had to put my...

Hard to pick between 2 different occasions for me. Close to 20 years ago, I broke my ankle in 3 places, and broke my wrist in 3 places at the same time. I didn't even know the wrist was broken,...

Why not overclock it? Because it is so "wimpy", it is a perfect chip to try to squeeze every bit out of it you can.
I say see what it'll take.

Ok, what if it's a store bought copy, or what if I have 2 store bought copies?

I, for one, would be interested in how you did it. I dual boot XP/Lucid. I have XP on a separate internal drive from Ubuntu. I do have a fully updated XP virutualbox installation, but it would be...
