I have an old Dell laptop that shows up as two CPUs but isn't 64 bit ;)

or ping, nslookup, route etc.

I love it when people argue Windows users don't need to use the CLI.

If you know anything about computers in general, and you know XP, you pretty much know Win 7. It really hasn't changed that much, and the bits that have are so annoying that even if you play with it...

A repository is basically like a storage area where a load of programs are kept. The repository is stored on a server somewhere.

The best way to think of it is like the App Store on Android or...

This guide helped me when I wanted to do it. I just use the built in Vino server now and tunnel it over SSH.

Computing magazine keep calling here at work trying to get us to have a subscription. In fact, I think we did get it for some time.

I've refused it the last few times they've called, but next time...

I have no idea if this is possible, I'd never try it to be honest. Why do you want to do this?

I just started filling out the form then realised that they will only ship in the US. There is a world outside of the USA, ya know Google! ;)

Shouldn't individual women compain if they feel someone has been harsh towards them?

It is a fact that there are more men in the industry than women. Is it because women are frowned upon when...

Tangerine is still broken on 10.04. The tangerine-preferences GUI application part of it doesn't open and although there is a workaround, it is still not perfect. The solution if using tangerine is...

I just wanted to share a quick tip based on the experience I've had over the past week or so.

I have a Linux server that needs to share it's media (music) with a couple of Linux clients and a...

I did it. I built a low power machine, Atom CPU with WD Green HDDs, no optical drives etc.

Hardly uses anything in terms of power!

Thanks to all for suggestions

Yikes! I pay about 22p per unit for the first 650kWh in a month then 9p per unit after that (if I've read this thing correctly)

That doesn't seem very good... maybe I need to switch provider! Oh...

I was thinking that actually! $262.80 is about £168, which isn't too bad per year, if that's actually what it would cost, and it really wouldn't. I'd be thinking more like £250 most likely (close to...

Yeah, I looked at getting a VPS but it makes more sense to keep my stuff local.

I'm an IT guy by trade so I'm always thinking of stuff like power requirements!

If anything, I think I just...

I reckon I could build a cheap little Atom box for bout £200 or so, however I'm not sure what my current box consumes so no idea if (or rather when) the cost is offset. Also, it might be useful to...

I've decided to take the plunge and get loads of storage to put all of the media in our household onto.

I can't decide whether to build a dedicated box, or use the PC I have hooked up to the TV....

Um, possibly not so much. If I clicked the "Oooo scan me now!" on Windows, I'd be infected to high heaven. If I clicked it on my Linux machine, I'd be fine.

I totally agree that it's PARTLY...

It depends what you want to do. I do a lot of network diagnostic work, I couldn't do half of it without the Terminal.

So that means that everyone without a little technical knowledge could easily infect a Windows machine. This isn't the case on Linux.

Trust me, I work with IT illiterate people all the time, most...

and is operated by a user who does not fall victim to trojans - please clarify.

Why does your response make me believe that you think Win7 can't get infected with viruses provided that you run IE8, with AV and as a non admin user?

Because believe me, that isn't the case. I've...

You did read the original post?
