  1. Re: What are some of the most beatiful math equations?

    I like the heat equation.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_equation

    I actually know how to use that and have derived things with it, which scares me. It's pretty though. Look at all those...

    Poll: Re: How did you decide your username?

    Mine is my e-mail, and everything else I log into. It was originally the name of a character in a book I was putting together. I don't know where I got it before that? I've been using it for a long...
  4. Re: Purchasing a new desktop, how does this look?

    I'd go with something like Cyber Power PC if you're not comfortable building it yourself. That way you get to pick exactly what you want, but don't have to build it. I will second the statement that...

    Re: Help me choose a laptop!

    I've found that System 76's support is really great, and I can't really say the same for Dell. I've been really pleased with my Serval, and it was cheaper than a comparable Dell, too.

    Poll: Re: Would you use an update at shudown feature?

    I'll add my voice to the countless others who have already said they wouldn't use this feature. I rarely shut down, and when I do I want the computer to do it NOW, not in ten minutes after updates...

    Poll: Re: Which Netbook would you choose

    I would vote for other if I could. I really like my Acer, and it was cheaper than either of those options.

    Poll: Re: Does Firefox run slow in Linux?

    Not that I've seen. Windows starts firefox so sloooowly. It seems to prefetch a lot of things. I do not notice a speed difference once they're started. Is there some way to truly measure this? I've...

    [ubuntu] Re: Segmentation faults after install

    No, this was with ext3 and ext4. I tried both. I reinstalled it six times, several with ext3 because I thought ext4 was causing the problem. I'm confused and frustrated that I'm the only one with...

    [ubuntu] Segmentation faults after install

    This bug seems to be affecting anything built on the compal fl92 chassis or similar. (ie. the serp4). This was one of the other major bugs I ran into with jaunty. My wireless problem compounded it,...

    Re: I-magic OS $79: Is this a joke, or what?

    Not that I agree with them, but they're only charging the going retail rate for that Acer Aspire One with iMagicOS. Walmart recently marked them down from $350 to $300, but that was only a month or...
  17. [ubuntu] Re: wireless problem on serp4 after installation of 9.04

    It was a fresh install. I ran the live cd first, and it seemed to be working, but I didn't attempt to download anything large. This problem becomes much more obvious when I try to download an update...
  18. [ubuntu] Re: apt segmentation fault after new Jaunty install

    My last installation stayed stable for god only knows why. I just still had the problems with my wireless that I've mentioned in my other thread, so Jaunty STILL wasn't usable. I imagine that it...
