:confused: top possesses no intelligible conclusive

I'm not certain of the significance on newer machines, but it's a fact that it speeds up my older pc which is a P4 w/ HT 3.4GH 2GB ram 10k 70GB main drive. This machine is starting to show it's age, and this was a grand improvement. My "test" is simply using google's image search. It is slow...

Awesome re-post :tongue::wink: other alternatives: http://www.umpcportal.com/products/

I've tried this technique and have been applying it to my computers lately, so i figured i would share it. -- I did not invent the technique, but certainly appreciate it. By default, your browser caches file to harddrive at every use. By utilizing a ram drive you will see significantly better...

correct me if i'm wrong, but i think the only difference between desktop and server edition is the existence of the gui. so i would think that removing gnome(et al.) equals server edition.

looks like you can still download it -- not sure when the "evaluation" ends. http://www.microsoft.com/office/2010/en/default.aspx next pc i build will just have OpenOffice as i no longer need outlook due to 7gb gmail.

Open office's word processor and spreadsheet are just as good as ms-office; it also reads/writes ms-office format. openoffice's export to pdf is superior. I've had some issue with the presentation maker as it isn't as easy as office 2007 for editing imported graphs. but no biggie really.

Well I was curious, so I tested it. I had never used umask before. here are my results, but not that I understand why: chmod produced the rights that you thought it would be. ster@FriedLiver:~$ chmod 731 temp.txt ster@FriedLiver:~$ ls t* -a -l -rwx-wx--x 1 ster ster 0 2010-03-25...

Yep, I've seen lists upon lists upon lists, finding one that passes my 3 tests is difficult. so i figured it was easier to ask if someone had a personal favorite.

i'm looking for an ssl (https) web proxy without limits. I've used utopianpal.com and darkbrowsing.com, they dont seem to have download size limits, but they timeout too easily. Do you know of better ones? They should past the following tests: 1) https. 2) no plain text in links. 3) allows...

small chance it's just not 64 bit compatible. But either way, it's most likely a software issue, drivers or other -- Go into the devices manager and see if there are any yellow exclamation marks when the devices are plugged in. (Not sure how in Win7, but in XP, it's right click my-computer>...

Maybe make sure there is no memory stick in it -- just in case it's a memory stick format issue. Since it is usb, can you boot, then plug in? Maybe in bios there is a "legacy mode" setting.

spare time??? test the disc for CRC/MD5 errors, or test an install in a virtual machine... Need special hard-drive drivers? Reset BIOS to defaults? (Change them appropriately afterward though)...

i'm sure you've moved on by now, but i'd do the following: wipe your cd/dvd real clean. blow out your cd-rom. unplug all non-essential hardware. even inside the computer case, and try booting the disc again. walk away from the pc for a half hour, (watched water never boils)

yeah but the pc boots, that's not the issue, it's the BSOD. if yo can get a command prompt (safe mode with command prompt OR boot cd to console) you could try the "SFC /SCANNOW" command, but if it does fox the problem, then you will running and re-running windows updates again. if you just...

IF you have a second computer or drive to copy to, then like vishal said, use Knoppix, trinityrescue or another linux based liveCD to boot and save your files. TRY to boot safe mode with command prompt and type CHKDSK /F (possibly CHDSK /F /R). try a reboot. if fails, try safe mode, and check...
