I cannot agree at all with XFCE being ugly. It is just a matter of customization. Blackbox isn't the way to go if you want to look fancy. LXDE is better in the lightweight category. As for me, I use KDE. IMO KDE offers more flexibility by letting you customize your system further than GNOME. I also find Qt to be a lot more comfortable than GTK+. Though we'll see when GNOMEv3 steps in.

Just a little correction - using WPA is more secure. WEP is really just a protocol declaring open security holes.As for the specific version, WPA2 AES offers the best wireless security all around.

Don't ask Ukraine about internet censorship. Luckily enough, we have no idea about what it is. I'm fine with that.

Please put more detail into the explanation of what you need. Don't look like a noob.As far as I can understand, you want to have a keylogger that logs actions to some remote database?Also, 'this is for vnc'? Huh.

Ahoy there.

Nuh. If only buying it was the real solution. The thing is, tough times at the moment - I don't have any money at all. The motherboard is a specialized, server one, not desktop so that's why there isn't too much talk about it. I've though found a way to make a riser the DIY way, but it needs 2 PCI-E desoldered slots (the motherboard-side one and the graphics card side one) which I don't have. I figure out, I should really spend that time I could've spend finding the needed parts and soldering on some work to get money and finally buy a normal graphics card. Thanks for your input, anyway. I presume this is resolved.

Try to boot from some LiveCD and check your computer's hard drive from here.If that does not suit you, well, re-install.I see no other way to solve it there.[propaganda]Or install Linux! [/propaganda]

I can clearly see it now.Either the OP fixed it or you really was still sleeping.

You just made me wanting to live in Belgium. :PFor us, mobile internet is very expensive and slow. However I use a tricky method - via MidpSSH I connect to my shellbox and then surf the web via a text-mode browser. That takes very little bandwidth, so I'm pretty satisfied.

As far as I know, power is provided via a few first lanes. Feel free to correct me if I am not right.I know about the warranty, but the warranty ended like 3 years ago. Though I still don't want to intentionally damage my board. Thanks for the input.

I am particularly interested if anyone here uses Ruby for game programming, and if you do I'd very much like to know what's the framework/library you prefer. :PI tend to stick to just Ruby/SDL, but that is pretty lowlevel and I'm looking forward to learning new technologies.

Well, Google tries to be an all-around monopolist and I generally don't like such companies. I don't mind Google itself though. I'd be happy to have an Android phone but I don't have the money.I also value Google for their strive to support Open Source. Look - the Google servers are running Linux, Android is built around the Linux kernel itself and they also keep the Google Projects directory - a useful place to show off your work.

Yes we do watch over you. Beware.

I believe he did and thay just keep coming from different IPs.

I enjoy Final Cut Express.
