That's the magic of the open world, the c compiler is available for free, already installed in most of linux machines, some designers simply give the sources of their files, with a "makefile" ready for a gcc or a cc compiler. "make" is the standard way in our world for leading a whole task, including compiling, adding libraries, moving to chosen places and finishing the installation. As you guess, my makefile only has "cc brol.c", but most of real makefile have several pages of code, each bug leading to an addidion to the next release!

This means that the NAT services are not started. You will have to modify the virtual machine settings, choosing direct access to the LinuxMint Ethernet adapter (I guess it's eht0).I only tested it on a Windows physical machine, and it worked fine, so I guess that it should work fine on a Linux physical too!

thanks Q, this looks like a good option - but i'd probably still have to backup just incase

That's right, backup first, just in case.

Loot at the syntax of /etc/fstabYou simply have to add an entry for each filesystem you want to have automatically mounted.For instance, have a look at how /usr is stated in fstab.Of course, this is the standard way for any Unix system. There is probably a gui for helping you in Linux Mint, but you should also learn how fstab works.also "cat /etc/mtab" should help.

OK, now comes time for some philosophy. Does what you describe mean immortality for myself? Or does this mean immortality for a backup copy of my current thoughts?I think that making a backup copy of myself (a "pirated" copy) will not make me be an immortal, only my copy will be immortal, so this is useless for me. Il will die, and a computer will start a new life. So, absolutely no interest for me, and I'm even sure that my carbon-copy will see no benefit having duplicated my brain, a smarter guy would be more helpful for this purpose. And, of course, a nice boy like me will not be happy being hosted in a giant computer box!

The c: disk most probably cannot shrink/expand itself, of course you can try to do it from the Microsoft Windows disk manager, try left-click on the c: partition and choose "resize".I prefer using gparted. It's a free and very efficient partitionning tool. You get the livecd/liveusb version here :http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php/
You boot on the gparted media, and you have a graphic menu where you click on a partition and you can drag/drop it's boundaries or directly type the desired partition size.Simply, before starting, remember the windows partitions names and sizes, your c: disk will probably be identified as "sd3" on the graphic gparted display!I just used it to resize my c: partition yesterday, it worked like a charm!RegardsYordan

And also I hate these modern things that don't work. First you will have no "start" button because it's replaced by a key on your keyboard.At the same time, the hardware "keyboard" slot on the PC disappears, you have to use a USB keyboard. And third, the USB entry is disabled by the Windows operating system in order to save energy, so you loose access to your computer, you have to do a cold start. If you are lucky, because in case of bad luck the computer can restart in the exact keyboard frozen situation because it was the last "good" configuration.Gosh, I hate all these new things where hardware and software changes do not match, all the designers should put their brain together once in order to choose the things which will lead to a clean situation for the thing they are preparing us for next year of for the year after the next year!

change can be a pain (initially) but users will get use to the new Metro - that is of course if everyone won't suddenly change to Linux before Win 8 release

Standard people will first have to get used to Windows 7.
And with the pain with the "windows" button unusable when the USB keyboard is powered-off by the energy-saving policies! No keyboard and no "start" click-able button, Crosoft will have to urgently find a workaround. Maybe a "fixit" update adding a "start" button?

As far as I remember, the vemware tools are a CD materialized by an iso file. Maybe the automount does not work correctly on your virtual machine, so try directly assignining the iso file as a CD to your virtual machine and install from the iso-mounted CD.

Did you now that USB3 ports on a PC are not labelled "USB3"?There are labelled "SS", meaning "SuperSpeed".So, if you have a USB3.0 device, connect it to a "SS" port!

Look at plants. They dont breath oxygen.

Sorry, but this is partly false. During the night, plants consume oxygen. That-s why you should not have flowers inside your sleeping room, for instance, you will have to compete with them for the oxygen, if your door and window are closed!

Obviously this model helps creating a new application in a very short time with a lot of actors. Feelay had a great idea, here should be the startpoint of such a project. Unfortunately the delay was stated before gathering the team, I hope that it's not really to late?

I know that I am young, handsome, very smart and helpful to others. I'm pretty sure that nobody will even think about seeing me as old, ugly, selfish or paranoid!

interesting... how accurate or credible is this survey? i don't like my results lol

The real point is not if you like the results or not. I would say that the real point is : do other people agree with what the test says about you?

MVC ? Marvel Versus Capcom?Most probably "Model-View-Controller", https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model%E2%80%93view%E2%80%93controller

You want to know how they manage to give us so much space for mails?I guess that google people calculated how much a user costs (cents per storage meg) and how much a user brings money (each time you read your mail, you see ads on your screen). More disk space you have, more mails you will keep, and a mail you store is a mail you could probably read again, seing more ads.I think that it's a simple price/perfomance ratio, they estimated that giving more disk space will make more people choosing google as private mail supplier, hence they will push their IT people to also choose google as their business mail supplier.

You're welcome! Please keep us informed.

thanks yordan... so i would need to initialize this and format it just like a normal new added hard drive i suppose?

Precisely.
And also, remember, exactly as like a normal added hard drive, you can give it to another virtual machine, and then if you already initialized and formatted it, the other virtual machine will find it already initialized and formatted.

You start vmware, you go to your partition (without startiting the partition), you go to settings, disks, add a disk, and you choose where the disk will bee on the physical machine, you choose the size, and that's all.You will see that the virtual machine will have a new disk when you will start the VM.Of course, this will be a blank disk, exactly as whe you add a physical disk to a physical machine. You will have to initialize the disk, create the primary partition and format it.

How sould I know that I my message sent or not yet ? Without show in sent Items, where else can I check? If anyone can answer this to me please let me know through my email that is anchistha@ymail.comThank thank you to all ....

If it's important, you can know that the message has been sent. Hit the "options" button before sendindg a message, and check "confirm delivery". You will receive a mail saying that your message has been delivered. you can also ask confirmation that your message has been read.
By the way, if your message is not in the "sent" folder, have a look in the "unsent" and in the "draft" folders, sometimes your oulook mailer is not connected yet, so your message is waiting connection before being sent.

Ok, now I see what we are talking about.We are not talking about the right-side menu in Windows Media Player, we are talking about an option of the Windows file eplorer, when righ-clicking on a filename.Sorry, most of these options I also find useless, and I simply ignore them, except copy, paste, delete or scan with antivirus.I'm sure there should be a mouse setting menu somewhere, defining the actions on right/left/center click, somebody should have a look around there.

still port 80.

i don't quite follow you here yordan... are you talking about selection (right clicking the a file - video file) or you referring to when the program is running? Windows Media Player?

While the program is running, while you are using windows media player looking at a video, try ctrl-2, then back to ctrl-1.

You have to monitor the swap space, twice the memory is the rule-of-thumbs for beginners, skilled admins monitor the swap space when they want to save space but want to avoid crashes. When your swap space is 1% used, don't worry. When it comes to 60% used, with used space increasing, you have to urgently do something, stop some processes or add swap space.

i agree... a standard for SWAP space i stick to is to assign twice the amount of Physical RAM... for instance if i have 1GB RAM i would add a 2GB Swap space

OK, we are completely in-phase. The mentionned 256 megs swap space is really too small!
