Nice - that's really classy. You sir, have good taste in music. Vanitas is my new favourite album :guitar:
I had a 'Not the nine o'clock news' book a few years ago, boy it was hilarious.
On the cover, it had a picture of a Middle-Eastern looking guy, with the words "Is the shah really dead? see page...
One could also argue that the UV rays in sunlight will possibly kill any germs on the phone. But i have heard of good results doing the rice-trick.
If it was your toilet you dropped it into,...
Yeah, was such a buzz when i got my beans too :) Nice work fella! Cool avatar too.
Well, after a complete hard-drive format and reinstall due to Compiz issues (it suddenly stopped being able to find something called UnityShell) along with other various annoyances, this is my new...
They're showing 'Mrs Browns Boys' on TV here in New Zealand at the moment, and i'm really enjoying it. It doesn't take itself too seriously, and is very funny.
Blackadder is also a classic. He was...
Yeah, i think it is a Compaq.
This thing was running hot, and steadily slowing down during the course of the day. I suspect it was heating up over a number of hours. It's working a lot better now.
Okay, attached is the photo (with snazzy red arrow pointing to the cable-tie :) ).
I've basically just created a loop with a small cable-tie, "clipped" the bracket for the fan/heatsink onto this...
sudo apt-get install compiz=1:0.9.7.8-0ubuntu1vvpreproposed2 compiz-core=1:0.9.7.8-0ubuntu1vvpreproposed2 compiz-gnome=1:0.9.7.8-0ubuntu1vvpreproposed2 compiz-plugins=1:0.9.7.8-0ubuntu1vvpreproposed2...
Thanks for that Lou; fantastic setup, love the wallpaper.
Very cool. I just love that Brit Cairo Dock theme.
I'm the same these days; set something up how i like it, and then don't mess with it. That whole "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" attitude :)
Yeah should be able to do that; i'm seeing my friend over the next couple of days to do a defrag on her machine, so i'll take a photo and post it up over the next day or so.
A friend's computer was running really badly, with a CPU fan that constantly ran at full speed. I took a look at it, and noticed that the whole fan/heatsink module was totally loose due to one of the...
Wow, i wish i had the coin for a project like this! A brand new car, with a ton of aftermarket upgrades? Just quietly, you mustn't be short of a few bob!
I had a friend give me an old Toshiba Satellite from around 2005. 512mb RAM, 1.8GHz processor, 60GB HDD. I'd say 1GB ram with the processor your HP has will be fine, particularly with something as...
I'm running the same Unity icons as Goldshirt; Malys Blue i believe, FYI :) They're nice!
Otherwise, pretty basic Ubuntu 12.04 with a couple of Screenlets. Cairo Dock with Brit theme.
Thanks Stinkeye; that's sorted it out.
There were no compiz packages that had a (!) next to them in Synaptic, so i just selected all of them and locked them. Do you see any issues with doing that?
This 'quick flash' bug just started up again for me, any ideas?
I don't want this to come across as trolling, or attacking anyone - i'm really just asking a question, as i'm genuinely keen what goes through a persons mind when this sort of issue arises.
Vasa,...
I'm definitely "just a user". I came to Ubuntu out of necessity; got a PC with no OS at all, simply couldn't afford to purchase a Windows OS for it, and gave Ubuntu a go (11.10 was on a PC magazine...
That'd be the Discovery Box Set - i got that for Christmas. Superb indeed.
Also superb, is the new remastered version of The Wall, called the 'Immersion Edition', which i got for my birthday in...
Nice - blue and grey; they go together so nicely. That's really crisp and clean with that wallpaper. I like it.
Water, Tea, Green Tea - all better alternatives if you're not used to coffee. A 'B' vitamin supplement might also help.
I'd suggest Malys-Blue - the blue of the icon design would go really nicely with the grey.
