    Welcome to the IHoP

    Facebook has a project called hiphop, for transforming php code into c++, for better efficiency, they've deduced server cpu usage by roughly fifty percent, and it's all open source. Interesting stuff.
  2. Did Mechman say they could adjust the turn on?
  3. They vent poisonous gas when pressure builds up. Are those sealed? Otherwise you probably don't want them in the cabin.Specs state sealed.I'm illiterate, can you show me?lol... actually this one isn't, I looked at sooo many I mixed it up..

    Wine is an emulator and there are limitations and, sometimes, complications whenever you're using emulation. If it's just something you use occasionally, emulation is generally sufficient, but if you need to use it several hours every day, those limitations/complications can make things very inefficient and frustrating.What it boils down to is official hardware and software support of most consumer products. Very, very few consumer products support Linux. For the most part, someone somewhere will have developed a method to get it to work, but it's not always in the same capacity as running it in Windows and sometimes more complicated. You have to do your homework before you make purchases for Linux systems. That being said, it's not terribly difficult to learn and there are definite upsides to Linux. Most distributions are free to use, which is a big plus if you build your own machines. You're far less likely to be affected by malicious software while using Linux and Linux is renowned for stability, which can save you time and money. Makes sense. Same principal as running Windows software virtually on a Mac. If it's something you need frequently you're better off using the OS it was meant for. So, when deciding to run Linux it's probably a good idea to check what programs that are important to you for compatibility or alternatives, if I'm understanding correctly. Yeah it's certainly not for everyone, and what programs you use and NEED has to come into consideration. Programs I use: filezilla (FTP) itunes outlook (email) photoshop notepad++(text editor) apache(local server setup, testing scripts) vlc(video player) openoffice(like msword) winisd <--don't use that often. I bet winisd would work fine under wine, or VM if worst comes to worst. sony vegas <--occasionally use few video games here and there. All of the above can either be ran natively on linux, or has a direct replacement, except for itunes, photoshop, vegas, and games. There are some decent video editing apps for linux though, and photoshop has been ran under wine with good success. Only things that kept me from going completely linux was the need to run itunes & photoshop. Which both happen to run natively on mac osx.

    I haven't, I've been leery buying one over the internet (ebay), and found a fair amount listed on CL that I could test out. But the thought of buying one from a mac forum is a lot more appealing to me then ebay, so I'll check that out as well, thanks.

    9 times out of 10 if you can do it in Windows there's typically a Linux program that will do it too; no emulation needed. If Valve ever ports Steam to Linux I'm sure I would run Linux in a heartbeat. Or dual boot with a small windows partition just for steam.

    Just another operating system. Wine has advanced over the years, it can run most windows executables. Running a virtual machine application in linux would also allow for running windows, and running anything else Wine cannot do (assuming you have enough processing, ram, etc for the vm).

    do you run a desktop or laptop? Personally I'd run RAID. I use 2 different computers and keep all the data on an external HD. I use my office computer to store the backup on the main HD. However, I will have my own computer soon and won't have to move the external around. What exactly is a RAID? "redundant array of independent disks" It is for servers to spray the files out across different hard drives so there is physical back ups and on some cases, faster access too. You can use it in most desktops as well. Disk A Disk B Anything you change on Disk A, changes automatically on Disk B, an exact copy. There are a bunch of different configurations though. Which means when A gets fucked B gets fucked. I prefer regular manual backups Depends what fucked means. A virus or mishap causing deletion then yes. A failed hdd, no.

    I'm loving the finish on the box, If I kept the jeep, I definitely would have done that.

    IMO its a good direction, it gets people famirialized with linux, most would have never tried it if it weren't for UBUNTU's usability Oh I think Debian would be a better route. Ive tried many distros throughout the years and never liked them more than I did Ubuntu. Nothing compares except for Apple which is a good thing. get something as powerful and usefull as an apple for no way near the price. I wouldn't call Apple a linux distro, it's far from it. I don't need anything powerful in terms of processing, I may use it for taking notes, and the rest will be low processing tasks. Cheap pc laptops feel "cheap" and I dont like it, I'm just getting an older used macbook, ~500 isn't bad. I never said it was.. But it is unix based Was merely saying the look and feel is starting to resemble an apple feel. I would love to own a Mac but the price per powerfulness is insane. I'm about to make an insanly powerful Linux box OSX was built on the original unix kernel. Ubuntu is based on a gnu/linux stack, gnu being "unix like."

    did you use the wubi installer? it gives you options on which gui to use.. Ubuntu is trying to be the most user friendly of all OS's more appealing to the newer people to linux. I just installed gnome, but may try xfce, or an entirely different distro, I don't like the direction ubuntu has gone in the last few years, not saying it's bad, just not what I'm looking for. I'm using Xubuntu with xfce at work, can't say too much about it though since I spend most of my time on the terminal I just like the feel of gnome for when I need to move around basic files and apps in the menu bar, but 99% of the programs I'm running are all scripts in the terminal, hence I don't need a lot of processing power for a fancy gui or photo/video editing, etc.

    And the latest bt5 is based on ubuntu lucid, with gnome. It doesn't get any better then that.

    I'm a big wuss when I'm sick but pain is usually ok. This time its not that way. The exercising is the only thing dragging my ass out of bed and able to move. My mom had bad fibromyalgia. Crippling gets shingles occasionally bad from over stress. That's my big fear along with my psoriasis getting into my joints. Yeeesh...a kid I went elementary and middle school got real bad shingles, inside and out a few years back; pain got so bad he just got fed up with it and ate a gun It scares me big. The pain is nerve related so mild pain meds don't help usually. I don't take narcotics as things like vicoden wakes me up. It actually makes me sharper and energized sometimes to the point I can't sleep. Have you tried Chinese/Korean ginseng and/or kava-kava? I've been meaning to try kava-root, have you tried it?

    Of course I may just install bt5 as that's why I'm buying a laptop, and just use osx for the daily stuff in classes.

    Found out why ubuntu gui sucks so much, autostarts in a new shell called "unity", time to find gnome!

    Testing out the latest version of ubuntu, a bit different then the last release I used. I have to figure out the nav, and of course change icons / themes.

    im just a fan of 12's i think they sound better. I bet you wish they made some 8" drivers then, sound even better?! Although T/S specs can change from larger cone, larger cone doesn't effect the sound quality, it allows for increased output, and even increased output with the possibility of less excursion and less distortion.
