    Re: What do you think about Abandonware?

    True. We had a bartending program that was selling a copy or two per year after smartphones came out and free apps were abundant. (Being on the programming project, I'll tell you; typing in 1500...

    Running, biking, Tae Kwon Do (don't fight in too many tournaments lately. Gettin' too old to be kicked upside the head by rowdy twenty-somethings.)
  3. Re: Questions about backing up stuff. Crash plan, parity files, etc

    Also, have LOCAL backup copies of the file, if you're using an online service as well. Then you can have redundant, multiple backups to your heart's content, and hard drives are CHEAP these days....
  4. Re: Questions about backing up stuff. Crash plan, parity files, etc

  5. Re: Anyone want a copy of my repository mirror of Feisty Fawn?

    Heheheh, very true! But 115 GB takes a LOOOOONG time to download and babysit. Alternatively, so does waiting on snail-mail, but I thought I'd offer. :biggrin:

    Re: What do you think about Abandonware?

    NOTE: When I say I pull off registration codes, I mean I do it for software that I, PERSONALLY have created and am releasing into the wild. I would NEVER do this to someone else's product.

    Re: What do you think about Abandonware?

    It REALLY depends on the software and the programmer/company and in exactly what way it was abandoned. If the company that created it disavows any continuing relationship with the product, won't...

    Re: Ubuntu server and virtual box questions...

    If you're still looking for info, I thought I'd add my two cents - I just virtualized an old Feisty Fawn server for VirtualBox (which I can recommend from experience - especially with VNC (put the...

  11. [xubuntu] Re: added useradd/adduser - hostname doesn't show on this user's command prompt.

    I didn't, and I thought that was really, really weird, too. I don't even HAVE a user named "Testuser"
  12. [xubuntu] Re: added useradd/adduser - hostname doesn't show on this user's command prompt.

    Thanks! I take it you mean while logged in as the user in question. (If I'm mistaken, let me know. These results are while logged in as the new user):

    Re: Which graphic / drawing tablet?

    Just my two cents: I have a Wacom Bamboo, and I love it. Be sure you get one that can use the pen. Either exclusively, or coupled with touch function.
