I have Apache 2.2 setup on Ubuntu 12.04 on my local network. I have a dynamic IP, but I have a domain name that is updated with the new IP everytime it changes (no-ip.org). I set up port forwarding...

There are many problems that can occur on a modern computer.
Once they occur, they are often very difficult, or at least annoying, to repair. Sometimes the problems cannot be repaired adequately at...

Well, I was using GNUCash on Windows and my firewall said it was trying to connect to 127.0.0.1 and asked me if I wanted to allow or block.

I assume if anything is connecting to 127.0.0.1 it isn't...

SSDs are good for OS installs or programs that are disk intensive. However, they are very expensive. They also use flash memory instead of platters like a normal hard drive. I seriously doubt the...

Does nobody have an idea?

I have a Maxtor 300GB IDE drive that I pulled out of an external casing, a month old Western Digital Caviar Black 500GB and a 250GB Seagate drive. I haven't had any problems with any of them except...

I was starting up GNUcash in Windows 7 and Comodo firewall says that it was trying to connect to 127.0.0.1 on some port. Why would a program like GNUcash (or any program I guess) need to or want to...

I don't understand why companies haven't been talking about the need to put data caps on internet connections before (I'm talking about the last decade; have they and I just haven't been paying...

I just saw something that showed a Mac and Windows file transfer utility (here:...

Well I don't have any ports forwarded at all in my router. I know to get bit torrent to work I have to forward a port on my router and add an exception rule in iptables.

So does Ubuntu block all ports except 80 by default? Or does it do something where it allows programs access to ports when they need them? If the latter, that seems to negate the point of a firewall....

I am experimenting with Tor and was going around to different websites earlier. On one website I downloaded a couple files and a dialog box came up warning me about an external application. I said to...

What the heck? Ubuntu cannot recognize the Motorola Xoom via USB. You have to download a special Windows driver to make it work. My HTC Incredible works just fine without any special drivers.

I...

Why do you have to press ctrl-L to use the location text box in Nautilus? There used to be a setting in preferences where you could have it always use the text bar. Now you have to use some gconf...

I'm not going to read everything that has been said thus far, but from what I've seen about Unity so far, I don't think I will like it. Like the OP said, it seems like it is made for a netbook or a...

Hey Trey, that worked, thank you. I remember doing that to fix the sound after U upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10, but the thing I forgot to do was to check the Output Jack box. The sound works now for my...

Seriously, nobody has any idea? This is getting really annoying having no sound.

So would a spam message from a poorly designed PHP form have a forged header (I don't know a lot about hacking, etc.)

I don't think the Firefox add on connects to Thunderbird or anything actually.

Nothing at all eh?

I guess. What made me think of it is an add-on I have for Firefox that takes the main text on the page (just the article part of an article for instance) and formats it in an easier to read way....

So, I've always wondered, couldn't you just send an email from any address through a web form? Many of the ones I've seen only require a name, the sender email and the recipient email. What stops...

Output of sudo lshw -c sound:

Alright folks, so I figured out how to do this about three years ago, and thankfully I wrote down how to do it for future reference.

What I am going to tell you how to do is:
Establish a remote...

Well yeah, but so what? Isn't it supposed to allow you to have fun? To someone not familiar with video games in general you'd probably look goofy playing a game with a big piece of plastic in your...
