Because we were trained to dislike Macs. Almost everyone in the computer field disliked Macs in the past. Now that OSX is based on BSD (Unix), there have been many "converts". Practically the whole IT staff are using Macs. I couldnt believe it myself. For my job I had to get a new (second)...

I vote "YES" I cannot vote for a single OS. I like Linux due to the FREEWARE / OPEN SOURCE SPIRIT (Specifically Ubuntu due to ease of use, no adding to sudoers file and no appending /sbin/ to common utilities like ifconfig) I like OSX due to stability and performance (BSD based) (Likely a...

My standard set of "cleaners": CCleaner ATF-Cleaner MalwareBytes AntiMalware Eusing Registry Cleaner Wise Disk Cleaner & Wise Registry Cleaner PageDefrag MyDefrag command prompt:> chkdsk /f /r and today i tried Duplicate File Finder 3.5 ... it's still running after 3 hours on my data drive.

Fixing computers on the side, you'd be amazed at how many people set a passowrd and forget it! http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/

option: look at FreeDOS source-code.

I've used clonezilla quite a few times.... I wasn't sure about MacOSX, but the website says it does support the HFS+ format: straight off the front-page of http://clonezilla.org/:

https://www.vtunnel.com/ https://www.polysolve.com/ https://mayorquimby.info/ not 100% certain of trustworthiness, but i've used them plenty. oops, i see you've been helped already.

i wonder if your timezone is incorrect and thus time-update is resetting it.

I've set my router to use OpenDNS for about two weeks now. I have had some "Waiting for..." at the bottom of firefox a few times, but then again i had used the link below to config also, so was not sure which is the issue. However i'd say for the most part, it does not seem to give me...

I used to be a ViewSonic only purchaser, but recently tried LG, and both my wife and myself love our LG's. The only thing I would change is the non-adjustable base (stand).

Never had any issue with *MY* Asus, ... wow i just figured it's almost 5 yrs old now. can't beleive i'm using a 5 yr pc. :P I think it's worth an extra $20 to have the vender install the cpu and fan for you, just to save you the trouble.

Weel that's a lot of work and yes, i've been there. I can suggest making an image of the system after all your hard work. So that next time they destroy it, you have a better starting place. ...Use CloneZilla -- it's like Ghost or Acronis, but free.

I have no clue, I have NEVER had audio issues using any linux distro. I've used this one also. I like the fact that the live CD has flash already. other than that, I see a different menu system and a little eye candy. Maybe there's more, but i'm fine with standard ubuntu/xubuntu. Also...

did you have to add your user to the sudoers file? i forget which distro's need that, it' turns me off.

Yes well you and I are computer literate and use common sense, everyone else, priceless:nuts:.

I use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware on every computer i'm asked to "fix" (non-profit) Also somewhere (maybe these forums) i found "UnHackMe" which cleaned some rootkits, although user-interface has much to be desired, it did quite well.

i searched Spyware Nuker, and WOT showed red circled all over the place.

sounds interesting.... i'll give it a go. Thanks! currently i'm adding WOT and AdBlock Plus to firefox (WOT avail for IE too), plus running ThreatFire, Sandboxie, and <enter favorite anti-virus here> as my measures of security. ...and MalwareBytes.org OH WAIT i FORGOT, LINUX AS OFTEN AS...

I don't know for certain, but you can try using synaptic package manager to reinstall "pulseaudio", "libpulse0","libpulsecore9" "pulseaudio-esound-compat" and maybe some other of those pulse audio related packages. after looking at my synaptic, i also see "alsa-base" "libasound2" "lib32asound2"...

I agree, an internet service is practically a requirement. My biggest complaint about linux is VIDEO DRIVERS. Installing official drivers is a pain, and most attempts are unsuccessful for me. I'm sure guides are available somewhere, but let me just give a little info: You can use VMWare or...
