    Compiling GAIM, and plugin woes. D:

    Apologies if this is in the wrong place, but for the most part I don't think it is.

    After yet another crash from GAIM trying to send a file and/or direct connect on AIM, I figured "enough's...
  2. Re: Howto: WOW with Wine (help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft)

    I'm aware that's an option, but it's not really feasible on this poor connection: I'm lucky if I get 5KB/s out of it. Besides, I didn't go out and buy the game today only to have to download it...
  3. Wow Installer Issues

    Hm. I seem to have a unique problem. The installer won't let me hotswap the CDs, so short of literally forcing the drive open I'm not able to progress past installing the contents of disc 1, which...

    Re: Upgrade time - your thoughts

    1) The release you use is irrelevant to the performance of a dual-core processor, seeing as all dual core processors are 64-bit anyway.

    2) I've been using a Core 2 Duo for a while now and not had...

    Core 2 Quadro processors released already

    Man, when these guys have a breakthrough, they don't mess around.

    Core 2 Quadro QX6700

    Looks to me like it's essentially two Core 2 Duo E6700 processors on one die, and the 8MB L2 cache...

    Re: Upgrade time - your thoughts

    OK, just so we're clear - what exactly is the maximum amount of money you're willing to spend? This will make a massive difference as to what I recommend you buy.

    Re: Super PI Ubuntu - How fast is your cpu?

    For reference, my CPU is a Core 2 Duo E6600 running at the standard 2.4GHz.
    If it makes any difference, I have 2GB RAM also.

    Re: The Nintendo Wii topic

    It's going to set me back £180, but I'm getting a Wii, no question. My 20+ GCN games compared to my 6 Xbox and 0 PS2 games are a symbol of how I much prefer Nintendo's methods and games over their...

    Poll: Re: Asus OR Gigabyte?

    I've had no end of trouble with Asus boards in the past, through it's possible that the reliability of the board depends on where it was built, as opposed to which company built it.

  12. Source code for free Animated GIF creator released

  13. Re: In how far does memory influence overall performance?

    (Off-topic, but: )



    However, it only has half the L2 cache. 'Tis why I bought the E6600 even though the E6400 and E6600 are similarly priced. (I imagine the E6600 models have even more powerful...
  14. Re: In how far does memory influence overall performance?

    OK. Let's put it like this - my PC has 2GB of RAM. I have never seen my 6GB swap partition get used. Not once.

    Today's a bad day and yet only 50% of my RAM has actually been used since I booted -...

  16. Re: Preparing to resume learning C++ - could use a GUI

    I guess because CodeBlocks was originally built for win32 and the Linux version is only a port, it's set to .exe by default. I'm not specifying the filetype at all, it just compiles to a .exe. Should...

    Re: Ubuntu....purposely crippling kde?

    The reason is quite simple: check the size of the LiveCD ISOs. Aside from Xubuntu, they're 700MB each. (Xubuntu is about 525MB.)

    I would assume then that Kubuntu is "crippled" for the sole purpose...
  22. Re: Preparing to resume learning C++ - could use a GUI
