Definately Ocarina of Time, the first Zelda game for the N64 and IMO the best. This was the first time to see jump from 2d to a 3d world. What's better than controlling Link and riding a horse?? How about shooting an arrow while doing it!!

This would probably be great for Apple. Apple would definately be leading the way in hand-held devices with the many versions of the Ipod and a whole lineup of PDAs.I don't currently own an Ipod, but it was be pretty cool to hotsync your music from your Ipod to your PDA and vice-versa.Or even a web-enabled Ipod. Wifi on an Ipod with direct connection to Itunes? The possibilies are out there...

Linksys works pretty well. I have a Linksys Wireless B router at my house. Never really had a problem with it at all. The router your looking at now will work just fine. 10/100mb and wireless G is all you need for basic home networking needs.Although I'm sure you can find a better price than $59.99 if you really wanted to. Wait a week and check out some sales.

It's spam, just someone trying to get information from you.I work at a company where these types of e-mails come in daily and get filtered out.Just toss it.

Is anyone else obsessed with this game? I played it on NES way back in the day, and ever since the Anniverary Collections came out on the PS2 and then the Mega Man X Collections, I can't stop playing them.I know the games are old, but they are pretty addictive and hard. These are some of the toughest game to beat without cheating.I may just be crazy...

For file sharing, you want to enable Samba on your Fedora box. I'm guessing this is sharing over a LAN from Linux to Windows. Most likely Samba is already installed and you'll just need to enable it during startup.MP3 should come standard, so don't worry about that.Fedora Core is RPM based, so your lucky, it should make software installs a TON easier for you if you are new.FYI, this will save your life if you are trying install software. You'll want to become bestfriends with this command....yumYum is all you need to install packages and software on FC. Google that word, and you should be fine.

Make sure you have file and print sharing enabled on both printers. You do not need to install the drivers first on the second computer because once it finds it over the network, then it will install the drivers for you.Of course you have to make sure your printer is set to be shared over the network. On the second computer you might to want physically add the printer by doing \\master computer name\printer name.If you did it all right, then you'll only have to do \\master computer name, and the rest should pop up

The free IDEs I know off the top of my head are Netbeans, Eclipse, JWriter, and I think Borland still offers a free trial for JBuilder.But all you really need is notepad and a compiler.There are many more out there, just do a search on goolge for java ide.

http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ That's a pretty good tutorial. When I was taking my courses in C++, I referenced that site because its pretty easy to use and navigate.

I figured out how to save it as an html file, but it looks like its just an html file with an image of the page. There is nothing clickable on the html file, its all embedded as a gif. I would need to have all the links working, so this method wouldn't help. In the mean time, I'll be searching around google to find out what to do next. Thanks

I'm redesigning my website, and I found a template for it that is in a PSD format. I have Adobe Photoshop so I can open it and edit it. I changed the text and images exactly the way I want it, but what do I do from here?How do I get the images and text from the PSD to the individual files that makes it up? Or am I supposed to be doing that at all?Thanks

If people don't donwload from secure sources and LOVE staying logged in as root maybe they should use non-RPM based distros of Linux.

Ever hear of Damn Small Linux (DSL)? It is a fully functional distro of Linux that is 50mb. Yes, you read that correctly, 50mb. Here's a link to it http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/

After doing some more research on gigabit routers/switches, it seems that I have been sorely misquoted on the price of the gigabit switch I had in mind.There is an 8-port Dlink gigabit switch available at newegg.com for around $50-60.And even if there would be minimal improvements for LAN gaming alone, keep in mind that there are about 8 people in the house. All have computers, all browse the web, all are on IM. Between the 8 of us, we do enough computing for a small IT office.Not everyone is a computer science major, we got some business majors as well...

Yea, I'll post again when we find out how well the gigabit router works and if it is worth the investmest, but this won't be until April when I move back. We'll definitely get some good benchmarks because the computers that will benefit the most will be a network hog with all the LAN games. We also got a dedicated Linux box so all of us have a Shell account that we can SSH into and some server space. The reason for the print server is because I haven't found a way to get our current printer to work under Linux. Its a Lexmark printer with no available drivers for Linux (not even CUPS will work with it). The biggest task for me and my roommates will be to rewire the entire house...due the lack of thinking of the guys who did it before. We got CAT5 hanging everywhere and its in the way when we walk through some hallways and the position of the wireless router cuts out half of the signal which causes the connection to fail every now and then.

Well in about 3 months, I'll be moving back into a house with my college friends.The house is full of computer science majors (including me) with a bunch of gaming computers (not me).We already have a network setup throughout the house, but it is my task to upgrade the whole thing.The first piece of equipment to be replaced is the current Wireless Router which will be upgraded so a Linksys Gigabit Switch (10/100/1000) with 5 ports. 4 of the 5 ports are gigabit, while the last one is 100mb. The four computers in the house that game the most will be using the gigabit ports for obvious reasons. The fifth port will be connected to a DLink wireless router through the uplink port which will just extend our nettwork for the wireless users in the house (me). Now from the Dlink wireless router we will connect a 5 port switch (basic 10/100) for random devices that need connection to the LAN like our XBOXes or PS2s.Fun stuff but the gigabit router alone will run about $340. The other equipment is already in the house and CAT5 is plentiful. We might even add a printer server during this process, but that's what the second switch is for.

Who needs an IDE to compile Java code under Unix? Just use VI. But if you must, you can try NetBeans, Eclipse, and I'm sure there should already be some type of Universal Language IDE already installed.

I've been away from this forum for a couple weeks because I was on vacation, but its real nice to see this thread has taken off.For now let's take a look at who uses a Unix based OS...Most major and small market companies use it for servers and database administration.Believe it or not, Linux is VERY popular outside of the USA. I don't have exact numbers, but I know for a fact that it is very popular in Europe and South America. In the US, Microsoft is king, so Linux owns that small market share maybe 6-8% of all computer users.Maybe there is a reason for all of this and why Linux isn't as popular as it should be.And what would the world be like if EVERYONE used Linux?1. Everyone and their brother could apply for high paying DBA and network administration jobs.2. Linux will finally see its share of viruses.3. Since everyone abandoned Windows, a small group of rebels revert back and it is now known as the "elite OS".

The greatest thing about Java is that it is heavily documented. If you want Java tutorials, why not go directly to the people who created the language? http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/index.html There are loads of tutorials on that site ranging from howtos on Beans, GUIs, and Security.

As long as you are using Classes and Packages that can be found within the Java Library, then you should have no problem switching between the two different IDEs.I have used both JBuilder and Eclipse in my development. One thing that makes JBuilder stand out is that it has its own proprietary packages found in their JDBC related packages.Eclipse is a decent IDE, but I really don't like how they automatically generate code while you are building a GUI.

Google all the way. I've been using it for the past 6 years. I even used it before Google was Google...well before it was as big as it is today.And every now and then I'll go back to Yahoo. But my startpage is google.com because its so quick to load and most of the time I'll be searching on it anyway.

Well it's about that time of the year again to begin thinking about getting a brand new computer. The past few computers that I have purchased have been Dells which I have not had a problem with at all. In fact, I highly recommended Dell. But this time around, I wanted to try something different than the normal desktop computer. I have been looking around the internet and found this computer company. http://sys.us.shuttle.com/ They make computers that are a little be larger than Gamecubes. They are fully functional, some can even be built with dual-core and 64 bit processors. My intention was to have a computer like this coupled with a 19" LCD monitor. This type of computer would save so much room on my desk. The price wouldn't be too bad, a base computer would any cost around $550. Your thoughts/comments?

Let's face it, at most 5-8% of the population that uses computers utilizes a Linux distro. Most of the world is still under the influence of Microsoft (M$) however the open-source community is slowly growing in popularity and number.The more popular distros such as Red Hat, Fedora Core, Mandrake, Slackware, Debian, and SUSE each carry with them a strong following. It is only natural that the progression of Linux into main stream computer use will make it more user friendly. I see this as a double-edged sword...Linux will increase in popularity, but more people that typically wouldn't use it in the first place will begin using it.I enjoy the fact that only a small percentage of the population uses Linux and of that small percentage, about half of them can actually USE Linux the way it was supposed to be. I steered away from more GUI oriented distros such as Red Hat and Mandrake in favor for more console based distros like Slackware. Once you start performing everyday functions from the console, or shell, you just begin to gain a better appreciation for the beauty of Linux. You will not believe how much power and capability you have just from a shell.Main streaming Linux would mean that Windows users would jump ship and ride on the wave of Linux. But that would dilute the experienced user pool in the Linux community. Personally, I would take a stupid Linux user than a stupid Windows user anyday. But this is an essential step in the goal of open source beating out Microsoft.Your thoughts?

True story, I completely agree that iPods are overrated and overpriced. Instead of investing over $200 on an mp3 player that can only perform one function, I invested the same amount into a PDA which can also play mp3's via SD card and also has multi-functions such as wifi, bluetooth, calendar, etc. If I am going to spend that much money on something, I want it to do more than just play mp3s.

Well first off you'll want to enable File & Print Sharing on each of the computers and I believe you'll want to enable the IPX protocol.Secondly, you'll want to have a decent firewall since you are opening yourself up to the world.I ran into this same situation where I wanted to share files and printers across my network. Some computers were connected to the LAN via CAT5 and others were WIFI. But I made sure to get a firewall such as ZoneAlarm which I configured to allow access to computers within a certain range of IPs on my LAN.Once you set this all up, you'll also need to mark which files, folders, or drives that are shared across the network.
