Ugh...where do I edit my posts?

I've looked at and considered several packages like this. My reasoning is as follows: 1. I'm not a linux guy, I might not be able to save my data if thhings go wrong. 2. I, and my clients, have all the MS licencing we need. This wouldn't save us any money. 3. I have not seen any evidence that...

Sucks about the house. Fortunatly, the house is my GF's, so I don't need to worr about that. Not sure where I'm going to move; I'd love to find ~600sq.ft. with a bathroom and a shower.

Well, I hope it was for good reasons, and that everything is cool. I think I'm about to do the same.

Here's my color scheme for Winamp, it makes me happy.

I've never seen you online. And I'm here quite a bit.

I use an application designed for the purpose called CyberCafe Pro. The user never sees the standard UI, Instead only seeing their screen with a menu of approved apps on it. Login is dependant upon authentication with a server that has a database of users. This is significant overkill for a...

There are quite a few things I like (this quickreply is great). I'm confident that some mods to the skin will resolve the other complaints, which seem to be: 1. I not used to feature x, remove it so no-one can use it ever. 2. Feature x used to be here, and now it's there...I'm confused.

I see the vBulletin logo, I see the minimise button on the quick reply, I see dead people. I see that Handruin has enabled the quick in the "quick reply" feature (thanks!)

They are there for me, and work quite well. I think mubs is going off the deep end... :council: :council:

I'm just confused why quick reply requires a button push at all. I should be able to read a thread, scroll to the bottom, then type in a response and hit "post". I don't understand the extra button.

For the record, I've been sinking amazing amounts of time into "The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion". It is really, really fun. I haven't enjoyed a game this much since, hell it's been a long time. Easily 150+ hours of gameplay, beautiful graphics, very involved storyline, huge flexibility on your...

Blades are incredible in their power density. I'm using 1U Dual-Dual-Core Opterons these days, even half a rack full of these will need it's own AC unit.

Interesting. I rip in IFO mode and grab just the movie, would this still be a problem? What does it look like in DVDDecrypter when you find one of these disks?

This is a good idea. Seconded.

It's a PITA. At this point I have a way around it that involves rebooting in safe mode, changing the permissions of it's DLL, then rebooting again. It's not that big a deal, I'm just bummed that the VLKs a friend hooked me up with have now been reported. :(

I rip in DVD Decrytper and then compress in XviD, so no need for DVD Shrink. I'm sad to see that development in AutoGK has stopped though.

Quite a while ago I saw a key-switch that would switch between two IDE drives, I can't find it now, but it sounds like the perfect ticket (doing it in hardware is more reliable than in software)

Half an hour for the install, half an hour for the updates, half an hour for to add/remove apps, half an hour to update the UI and config apps, then trying to move my thunderbird config over. Not fun.

I'd like to keep my linux build and move it to my new computer. I got tired of messing with the little toaster that wished it could and build myself a better machine. Old Spec: Shuttle SK21-G1-SV-V1 (VIA K8M800) AMD Sempron 3100+ Palermo 1600MHz HT Socket 754 Kingston ValueRAM 512MB 184-Pin DDR...

I like the "revisited" skin except you got rid of the quickreply button! I know this is in direct dissagreement with other forum members, but I like the quickreply. 90% of all posts on this forum I'm sure would fit in the space provided in the quickreply window, and most of the posts I've made...

These tools simply make identifying and correcting tags easier. For me, it's mostly about ripping CDs I have that aren't in the CDDB (tango imported from Buenos Aires, etc) and these tools make naming them after a bulk rip much easier. But I can also see their use if you have aquired significant...

If it were more useful, perhaos it could stay. But I've been looking at the results it provides and am not impressed.

I'm surfing at 1920x1280 at the moment and it looks great :P The user bar on the right could be a bit smaller; I've already shrunk my avatar, removed the IM links, and removed the "age" line from the display in an attemp to shrink it. It is a dificult balance, though. I like the information it...

There's a drop-down at the bottom called "Foum Jump" that does all the navigation. I've already begun using some of the features (including the quick reply that I'm typing now), and the forum software manages to not log me out all the time, which is nice. New skin? Yes please, but I do like the...

Nevermind. I'll get one of these instead and swap with the 1600XT at the game center.

I'm having a hard time finding reviews of this video card. From what I can tell, GeCube came up with the tech, but I can't find anything else. Thoughts?

Well, the sun is quickly setting on my current attempts at Linux. It's really almost there! The only probems I'm having now are: Network compatability issues Incomplete UI (things still need to be done at the command line) General system speed (bootup, app launch, everything really) Quality of...

Take your pick: or Either way, fine with me.

Congratulations, I have no idea if you spelled that work correctly or not.

Unfortunatly, with AT&T's recent merger with PacBell*, it really cuts down on the options available. Really, PacBell bought AT&T, then assumed the name.

5% survival rate would be a 20:1 kill ratio, correct? Look at it this way, if we sort by highest income than we could do without SS, Medicare, Medicaid, Unemployment, Welfare and all those other support-the-lazy/incompetent services while not damaging out tax base! *runs*

I have a Brother 7820N that I like. USB or Ethernet interface (useful if you have more than one computer). Nice laser printer, good scanner with ADF, and simple fax with a few autodial slots. Software isn't too troublesome, though it is a memory hog.

Handruin: I'd love a chance to set up a clean, low-contrast, greyscale skin. If you would give me the opportunity somehow. Lost: In your profile you can set the timezone, that should fix your clock ;)

Thanks for the feedback, I will try your suggestions in the morning. It's 12:30AM and I just got home from dancing. I am stoked, though, I got my 7-button mouse working in firefox! ;)

User selectable skins? Can we create them? That would be way-cool.

I'm afraid their isn't a control center, in this one, but I did go into the system settings and play with "connections", "network settings", and "sharing". I was able to set a default username and password for windows shares, which is nice, but my mount still doesn't work. I also went into...

It used to be green? I don't know if I can trust an ape on that one. IIRC it was the same blue it is now...

And this wysiwyg editor will cause me to have too much fun :joker:

Thanks Handy, you rule!

Just from poking about in here it looks really sweet! I'm liking the additional buttons and navigation features.

Thanks much for this analysis, I've definatly been a TrueImage convert for my needs.

According to Adept, KMPlayer is installed, but I don't see it on the menu system? What is the GUI tool for mounting Samba shares you speak of, and how do I get/work it?

I don't know where that sig came from...at least a year old (five systems ago)?

Wow, looks good to me. Considering all the different UI changes I've been dealing with the last 2 days, I think I like it!

Well, as it turns out, making the user the owner of a folder in /mnt/ is a pita. Fine, I'll mount it to /home/david/server. That has the right permissions! The file or folder /home/david/server does not exist. but it does. Help?

chown....got it. Rebooting now...

It seems that the user doing the mount has to be the owner of the directory where I'm trying to mount. Googling now for how to take ownership of a file :oops: I'm not used to being a n00b.

Here's where I'm at currently: installed smbfs created /mnt/server added the following line to fstab: //server/Data /mnt/server smbfs user,username=david,password=password 0 0 Did a suid thing to smbmnt now I get the following error: Could not mount device. The reported error...

After doing a re-install of the whole thing then re-creating the line in fstab...no, it wasn't. So I installed it (these package managers rule) and I now get the following message: Could not mount device. The reported error was: smbmnt must be installed suid root for direct user mounts...
