I'm troubleshooting trying to fix a known typo in a driver. I've found 1/2 a dozen tutorials, nothing is working. I've got a bunch of beginner guides open for the terminal commands, bash, etc. I keep...

Consider trying Zorin OS 6 (Google it). It should be out soon. It will be built on 12.04 and G3. But, they do a lot of custom work on it. Much of that work is focused on making it very easy to change...

You guys can debate the legality all you want. That’s not the world we live in anymore; at least not in America. I walked away from my pension when an instructor told me that the proper response to...

Well, since the forum told me I can't send you a PM I guess this is the end of this one.

But, I didn't give up a career for no reason. And respect for the law ain't exactly what they're teaching...

IDK? The world is getting to be a spooky place. I got out of being a military cop b/c I didn't like the way the wind was blowing or some of the scenarios that we started training for.

I didn't...

That would depend on some of the scarier interpretations of the NDAA. You can argue it from Gitmo if you want. Personally I don’t take those kinds of chances, when I want to play with those kinds of...

Name one good thing that it will do in a coffee shop full of strangers?

What the guy was doing is illegal in the US. At the minimum he was a butthead; more likely a thief. But, good luck with calling 911.

1) 99.999999999% of dispatchers and officers will have no...

I've read all over the web that lots of people have lots of problems with it. I've seen very few solutions that actually work at all for this problem. Several months ago I played with it for about...

I agree 100% on the pro.

But, I'll have to disagree on the low hanging fruit; even if it is just auto scanners at the moment. Especially since the Chinese are very fond of both "thin edge of the...

There's no quick, cheap, easy fix to this. It will take time, knowledge and money; especially if the Chinese have painted a target on you.

I've been a desk jockey at several DoD facilities over...

Kaspersky makes a good AV. Not a lot of false positives. It's not cheap. But, in my personal opinion it's one of the best AVs on the market today. When you install it you have the option of creating...

New approach to bounce off the wall for input:

Zorin OS 5

It's built on 11.04 / G2.

It has a W7 theme built in. (It looks kind of basic from the screen shots.)

If I don't like it I...

Well quick research says that I can't put G2 on 12.04 b/c lots of stuff would break. I'm sure some guru could probabley fix it if they wanted to. But that would basically be making your own distro....

Hopefully it would be discovered and corrected quickly. But, unfortunately it's not completely outside the realm of possibilty.

There was an incident many years ago that occured with the MS...

I'm at work right now, so I don't have access to my system. (I mailed myself the link to this so I won't loose it.)

This project is part practical concerns, part special concerns, a big part...

Well, I think with the types of things that she does (send e mail / web surf) that if can can get it to look like 7 that will help a lot. It doesn't really matter to her what the "guts" are so long...

Hi all,

I'm in the process of building a special project for my wife. I'm testing lots of stuff in a VM before I put it on hardware. I'm trying to get it to look as much like 7 as possible from...

Um, what are you talking about / smoking? See that's one of the reasons I gave up on this forum 8 months when I first started getting in *nix. If you say "My windows got dirty" then the first thing...

Not according to How To Geek. They say you can rebuild it.

BUT, ONCE AGAIN, DON'T JUST JUMP IN TO THIS!!! I'M TRYING TO HELP YOU WITH RESEARCH, NOT DIRECTIONS!!! IF YOU DECIDE TO GO THE WIN WAY...

Well I know I didn't check the box for 3D acceleration because every other OS (except XP) and every other UB distro I've put in to a VM gave me fits when I tried to use it. I'll enable it when I get...

I'm in the process of switching from win7 to UB as my primary OS.

I've been playing with UB VMs for a year now. I know how to set them up correctly.

But, I still have a lot to learn about UB...

They could just be CAV false positives. But, just because they are PDF does not mean that they are not infected. One of the most common forms of malware now is corrupted PDFs. If it were me, just to...

This is the first time in a while that I've had a chance to research this. It looks like enough progress has been made that people have figured out how to flush them at least. So that you can't be...
