Modern cpu's have extra instructions for optimized virtualization, so that's hardware virtualization . I personly have not much experience with linux and different motherboards, but I do know that newer motherboards aren't fully supported by linux (or partialy/unstable). Things you realy have to look for are SATA support (do not that most motherboards have 2 different SATA controllers, one on the soutbridge and one extra for more ports). The same thing goes for PATA support, modern soutbridges don't offer a single PATA port so manufacturers have to use a seperate chip for this. About your question concerning the slower memory on dual Xeon/Opteron motherboards, there is a good reason for this. Normal people want bigger nummers and manufacturers push hardware to their limit to get to these numbers. To problem with pusing things to their limits is that they get unstable and are very sensitive. In server environments (where Xeons and Opterons are used), these errors aren't acceptable, so they use 'slower' memory (it's actualy not slower, it's just the right mix between stability and speed) with extra error protection. Last thing, a while ago, AMD bought ATI so all ATI products are now AMD. So basicaly, when you say AMD Crossfire you're referring to the graphics part of AMD.

I've seen this problem before and (in my case) the problem was that the owner of the computer had deleted a few registry entries because those where linked to some spyware/adware. The result was that I could run almost nothing, not even the system restore. I fixed this using a self made live-windowsXP cd and using a small tool that does the same thing as the system resore. One reboot later and everything was up and running again Ultimate Bootcd 4 win, never go without one: http://www.ubcd4win.com/

your mount command is a bit wrong, it should be something like:mount /dev/hda8 /mnt/an_existing_folder -o rw it might be a good idea to first unmount /dev/hda8 before remounting it

But isn't there some kind of system that remember the fact that I correctly entere the root password so I don't have to re-type it the first 30 minutes or so ? Can't I use (abuse) the keyring manager for that ? The reason why I realy want this is because I'm always 100% aware of what I'm doing and I realy don't want a computer to always ask me whether I'm sure. That's why the first thing I've disabled in Vista was the UAC and the 'verify the program' thingy that was hidden somewhere in the IE settings.//edit: and why does it keep asking me the password while I'm a root ? Not trusting a root is a bit over-secured imho

I've just installed openSuse 11.0 on my laptop to replace Vista. However, it's very annoying that it constantly keeps asking for a root password when I want to configure something. I even changed my default group from 'users' to 'root', but that didn't help , it keeps asking for a password . I've also tried adding /sbin/yast2 and other to the sbin configuration, but that doesn't work either (because for example, yast2 isn't launched with sudo in front of it). So I'm looking for a way to completely avoid these 'password needed' dialogs and I hope I can disable it because otherwise I might reinstall Vista because at least I can disable it in there Thanks in advance

The adblock plugin normaly comes with some basic filters for the most common banners and logos (at least it did the last time I used it). Another way to quickly block a lot of advertising is to use a HOSTS file ( http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm ), I've been using this technique for years and it does block almost any ads (even google ads are blocked ). The hosts file basicaly contains a huge list with all known advertising domains (and also a lot of malicious domains) that will be redirected to 127.0.0.1 (this is the loopback adres of your computer, so basicily if a browser want to load an image from a domain listed in the hosts file, the request is sent to your own computer). It's fast, simple and it works for every program on your computer ... not only browsers, but also messengers, mail clients, ...

Put it in another computer, if that doesn't work, just return it and request a new one. I've had this probleem too with a LiteOn DVD writer, first it stopped reading DVDs and few days later CDs were unreadable too. Brought it back to the store and got a new one instead

There is no use to hide the page source, I mean, the only thing people see is dynamicly generated HTML code ... they see nothing of your PHP source code. If you're woried about people stealing your lay-out, then code most of it in an unlogic organized CSS .

That's something you should ask on the mercury forums http://mercury.to/

In 99% percent of the cases, your host is localhost $host['naam'] = localhost; and instead of just returning some text in case of an error, die with this: die(mysql_error()) Also, the link to your website isn't working.

1) make sure you have the latest version of McAfee and the newest virus definitions (be sure to check the data of the virus definitions) and do a complete system scan. Something to take into consideration is to enable heuristic search for viruses (heuristic scanning can detect self-modifying and new viri) and enable scanning in compressed files.2) If McAfee doesn't find anything, try out some online virusscanners (google ).3) Also run AdAware, SpyBot S&D and Hijack thisThese are the minimum things you should try . It's a bit risky becaus this way you loose any possible way to easily restore windows if something goes wrong, but when your computer is infected with a virus it's not a bad idea to disable the system restore because it's almost impossible to remove a virus that's stored in the system restore.@LegallyHigh: have you searched on the net for specifics way to remove the Obsidium virus ?

It depends a bit on what on what you want to do, but sometimes it might be a better idea to use ZigBee instead of BT. You probably don't know wat ZB is, but it's a wireless protocol that is more targeted toward your application. The transferspeeds are much lower compared to BT, but it's way more responsive and it consumes a lot less energy (1-2 years on 2 AA batteries is expectable).Returning to the BT story. Again, it depends a bit on what you want and how you want to do it. If you want to create the controllers yourself, then it probably won't cost about €15-20 per appliance (BT controllers are very cheap, only €5). A good USB dongle will probably set you back €20. You'll probably have to write the software yourself too. If you want it all prefab, then it'll probably cost you a lot more.

You could try FloAts Mobile Agent, but it doesn't support too many features of your Nokia 623x. Using the beta version yields different results. Best solution tough is to get the (crapy) Nokia suite

Surely Microsoft will keep releasing small patches and updates, it would be unresponsible for them not to, but they aren't going to spend too much time in this old OS anymore (except maybe for making it windows server 2008 compatible, but that's another story). Just think about Windows98, how long did microsoft release updates for this OS ?

I have never had any problems with Opera's rendering engine. Only pages that are written extremely bad (ie. frontpage websites) don't show up properly, but hey ... that's not Opera's fault . @Jeigh: don't forget to try out Opera 9.5 beta

DELETE FROM CUSDATA WHERE ID = 'strRownum' the ID is between ' ' , that's what I mean with accents, probably not the correct english word ? ps. maybe this is the answer ? http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

I agree with FirefoxRocks, it's impossible that Microsoft is about the release a new Service Pack for windowsXP.Another reason why Microsoft won't release a new SP soon is because they can't develop such thing in a few months, they realy need a lot of time for it. Also, if microsoft needs to release a big fix now, then they do that a) via automatic updates and very big fixes for such an old OS are a bit strange.Thus, could you please give us your source ?

If I plugin an external disk then openSuse detects and mounts it for me. It also creates shortcuts on the destop and if I rightclick on them, then there is an option to safely remove the disk ...ps. the reason why you should 'safely remove' your hardware is because some write actions are cached before they are actualy done. If you unplug the drive while linux is writing the caches to the disk then data might be corrupted. The flush command (if I remember correctly, might as wel be another command ) writes these caches for you so you can unplug the disk even without safely removing it (I've removed a lot of sticks and disks without first using the safely remove features).

I don't know how access deal with it, but if a value is a number then maybe it shouldn't be surrounded by accents ???

I have use the most common browsers available today (Opera, Firefox, IE6, IE7 and Safari) and I still prefer Opera above all the rest. It might be a bit slower at cold starts, but I'm willing to wait a few seconds for getting a faster internet experience and a quick and responsive application. The slowest of them all is Internet Explorer, it sometimes feels like I'm still using a dial up modem when I work with it, it startsup very fast, but it's has some annoying things (the yellow bar and the stupid (slow) page that tells me that my settings are so called 'unsafe'). IE is imho the least safe browser available.Next on my list is Safari, I respect that it's a port from MacOS so I do understand it's a bit slower and less stable, but it's a nice and ratheer good looking, basic browser. I only don't understand why it has to use such weird fonts...Second last is firefox, it's a realy advanced browser with a lot of potential and it's a real good browser for developing website (because of the plugins), but I don't want to use it as my default browser since it's UI is not as responsive as it should be (especialy if a lot of plugins are installed). My all time favourite is Opera, I've been using it since it still had advertisements in the top bar . A few years ago it was already a mature browser that was more strict when it came to rendering webpages. It might not be the quickest starter and the memory usage isn't the lowest possible, but the UI is fast and everything works together like a well oiled machine. I also like the completeness if it, browsing, mailing, rss-feeds and widgets. I also like the way Opera is adding development tools into it's browser ps. LegallyHigh, Opera is not a Mozilla product, it's a Netscape product as is the Mozilla browser product line.

you use a lower resolution on an TFT screen ? Doesn't everything look blurred now (TFT/LCD don't work well at lower resolution as the one they were made for because they 'blow up' the image to fill the screen) ?

the monitor size doesn't say a thing about the resolution the operate at, especialy CRT screens. I have two 17" CRTs that can do 1600x1200, I've had some other 17" CRT's that didn't go higher as 1280x1024 and I've even seen one that stopped at 1024x768 ... You have to think in pixels, not in inches. For coding your website, the best thing is to have a few blocks that have a fixed with (eg. a row on the left and the right) and other parts that have a relative size (in percents). You can easily do this with some CSS (width: 200px or min-width: 120px; max-width: 250px).

I don't want to be rude, but have you even tried searching for a good tutorial ? There are thousands of good websites that can teach you css and it's realy not that hard to find them on your own.

Try booting in safe mode (reboot en start hitting F8 right before the windows logo would appear on the screen), this way you should be able to login as a local administrator (if you know the administrator password of course, otherwise you might have to call the IT guys at your fathers work) and retreive all the information.There is a possibility that the data wasn't even stored on the computer itself, it happens quite often that all data (even my documents) is stored on the server for easy back-ing up.

I have a small question of the joomla license. I know Joomla is release under the GNU/GPL license and that it means I can freely use, copy and alter the source code as long as the license information is retained. I know that this is possible for non-commercial use, but what about commercial use ? The reason why I ask this is because I've been asked to create a website for a store (a bio-store to be exactly) where the owners can place announcements from time to time. Can I do this with joomla ? (btw. they have no intentions for having an online shop, just some announcements and some information about the store).
