Wow this has sure brought back some memories.

I think my first modem adventure was in the late 80's or early 90's. I can tell you I was on a 286 with 1Mb of extended ram and a 9600 baud modem. ...

Since you're using Gmail, I'd be tempted to turn on 2 factor authentication as well (assuming you have a smart phone). That way, a person would need your password, username and access to your device...

I did, but I already knew how to use GIMP for my digital Photography at that point and I found it easier to continue using what I know.

It's the same reason I'm using 10.04 LTS. I likes my...

Firefox because it gives me the Internets

LibreOffice because it covers pretty much everything I do

GIMP because it lets me do everything else I want to that isn't covered by LibreOffice

I love Darjeeling, but my day to day is English Breakfast. I also enjoy Jasmine tea after about 2pm so I'm not as wired.

I'm on the West Coast of Canada. My winter wear is a waterproof shell and something that is warm when wet like wool or fleece. Brands don't matter to me, I buy what works and doesn't set me back...

Thanks for the help! I suspected that, but false assumptions are how people get in trouble. Better to ask and know....

I first heard about Linux back in the 90's while talking with some classmates. I'd always been interested in it, but never bothered to really research it until I got a laptop with a horrible OEM...

I ran a scan with chkrootkit and mostly came up with nothing. I got a few hidden directories and removal temporarily broke my system, so I've decided to believe they should be there.

The other...

I've been using AppArmor for about a week now and I was going to start a thread with my own question, but since this exists now, I thought I'd ask here instead.

I've enabled the Firefox profile...

The way I think about it is this:

How many people do you give your name to in a day out in the world? Any one of them could be social engineers. In the end, your name is not a huge amount of...

I've always likened it to music that's still copyrighted vs public domain. The latest pop tune is owned by the record company. The radio stations have to get permission to play the music because...

I can reinstall Ubuntu in 15-20 mins and have it tweaked inside of an hour. So I don't do full back ups. I however would hate to rewrite my resume from scratch or lose my Thesis. That's stuff you...

For me, I'm starting to realize it's probably more of a transition phase than anything else. I decided to dual boot at first for two main reasons. The first is that I'm not the only user of the...

Damn. Easy solution...thwarted.

It's probably a driver issue and I leave that to people who know Ubuntu better.

In the mean time, you may want to check if either your master computer volume or speakers are set to max. Speakers...

Violin, mandolin, bohdran and just a little bit of the piano.

I like a Double Double from Timmies, because, you know, crack is expensive.

I would say that the most annoying habit people have that I encounter is a lack of flexibility and/or adaptation. I like to be a teacher, not a solution. So go ahead and ask me anything. Ask me...

Damn, I was gonna say Oregon Trail on the Apple II. That was the shiznit. Loading whole OSes on the computer during boot from a single floppy. Floppy disks (the 5.25" ones that actually were...

LOL. Me too! Still on the Rock though. Actually I'm still in Vic.

It's been said here before, but I think a LOT of people come to Linux looking for Windows without the price tag viruses or inevitable crashes. What they find is a new OS. With it's own set of...

I call my network Abraham_Linksys which I shamelessly ripped off of The Onion although no one knows it because I hide the SSID. I call my computer The_Unit.

Mostly from taking a neuro-modeling class as part of a Psych degree. We made computer models of fly and bee brains and then ran simulations. That, and some good old Discovery Channel geekery.,

How loud were you yelling to shake the monitor?
