HARRAH!!! YAY!! HOOAH! the 360 beast is out! Poor PS fans need to wait for PS3 to come out in 2007 :)xboxrulz

could be true, but as most propbably know that the x86 processor, for Windows or not is still far less "awesome" than the PPC (IBM), that's also why Microsoft swapped their Intel processors for the IBM PPC triple core.xboxrulz

Well, I'm interested on setting up a Jabber network, but I don't have any extra hardware laying around to set it up at home. I was wondering if there are free servers that let me make Jabber available to the world.xboxrulz

used to be MN, now it's Jabber, but I don't know anyone who uses Jabber.I love Jabber because multiple servers can contact anyone from any service. Everyone can set up their own instant messaging systemxboxrulz

actually, capital punishment drives up crime. I did a debate project on capital punishment Also, why is Capital Punishment have anything to do w/ science/tech?xboxrulz

some even thinks that Bill gates is a genius ... lol xboxrulz

none, u can't skin Windows without extra software. That's why it sucks. KDE on the other hand is skinnable without extra software.xboxrulz

lol, npxboxrulz

well, Thumbs.db is a small database that Windows XP uses to remember your thumbnails and how big they are. They then store it to these small db files. It's not a real problem, just don't use the thumbnail feature then :)xboxrulz

not surprising. I don't like Ubuntu because it's annoying. It's debian configurator keeps overriding my manual configurations, which I need for running some games on my computer. Also, since it's Ubuntu, regular users can't open up extra X windows,(xinit /usr/local/games/[gamename]/[game] -- : 1) which makes me wonder, how is this a bad thing? It's actually better than if the game crashes and you losing all of your programs, like running Mercury Messenger and Skype in the background.After thinking for a while and returned back to SuSE Linux and have stuck to it since.I don't like gentoo because there's too much configuration needed and the compilation takes forever.xboxrulz

lol, everyone (well, mainly newbs) would just tell u to use Ubuntu. I can tell them to use any existing ones and tell them to help further develop it.xboxrulz

Hatim is right, there are a surplus of Linux distributions out there already. Too much is NOT a good idea. Try maintaining Ubuntu, OpenSuSE.xboxrulz

Well, this is definitely not surprising. Windows already shows the problem when the user is using the operating system from the start.xboxrulz

Well, I can tell you that SuSE 10.0 is definitely better than SLES 9.xboxrulz

I assume you're running Linux, so check that your sound system not being blocked by other programs.xboxrulz

for me (since in Hong Kong, I have an ADSL line), I go to the YaST control panel, then click Network, then click DSL, click PPPOE, then add my username and password. Voila, done.On KDE: Right click the power cord botton next to the battery monitor (if u have one), then press connect.You're then connected.xboxrulz

Get SuSE 10.0 because it works like a server and workstation, you can choose between them.xboxrulz

Yup, those are the correct step, for me, it's taking a 120 GB HDD, split 65 GB to Linux and the rest to Windows ;)xboxrulz

For me slow is anything under 800 MHz and a machine that takes over 2 min. to boot up. So, my laptop falls under that category, that's why I chose SuSE over Debian, because I find that Debian's kernel isn't as fast as the SuSE's build and I still get an APT-GET repository using RPM instead.xboxrulz

it's not Megahurts (pun intended). Anyways, I would recommend Damn Small Linux because your system isn't really good with memory hogging Linux distribution. KDE is almost like the Windows XP API. GNOME is worst, it's slower.xboxrulz

actually, SuSE 10.0 doesn't wipe out your hard drive, it automatically shrinks the Windows partition and create a ReiserFS partition (I usually change it to XFS because I load and write a lot of things when I use my computer.)xboxrulz

lol, singular is right.xboxrulz

SuSE, definitely SUSEand empty calorie, both Fedora and SuSE are free (both source and price), you can get it for free.xboxrulz

yes, it's just like the WINE project, Linux doesn't support Microsoft and thus Microsoft doesn't support Linux either.xboxrulz

well, quantum physics, hmmm... I believe it because they have actually got a computer that calculates in quantum mode. Instead of using 0s and 1s, they use qubits which calculates 0 or 1 or 01 or 10 at the same instance.xboxrulz
