When I first bought my computer it came with pre-stalled windows. At that time I did'nt know anything about using a PC. I learnt using it by just trying out everything, whatever I liked and eventually learnt most of the things in a few months. But still I did'nt know what an OS was. I just thought computer was computer thats it all computers work same way. After that I learnt about different OSs and other stuff, then tried linux with the same computer newbie attitude, tried out everything I thought of and I equally know linux(only one particular distro) as much as windows. It makes no difference. I just want an OS.Linux !=windowsBut Windows = OS and LINUX = OS

Thanks man... I was searching this kind of software for months. Thank you very much.

I am a 7-zip user and I strongly recommend it to evryone else. It is the best compression utility I have ever found and also it is not shareware, it is free open source software.

Did you actually check the entire site before posting here. It is a site where the authors publish their books. So it is completely legal because the author himself has published "HIS BOOK" on this site. How can the author publish without "the author's permission"??

The requirements are quite simple. You need an OS (which you already have) a web server software like apahe and a DNS redirection service(for testing try no-ip.com's free service where you get a free subdomain like yourname.no-ip.com. And lastly a very fast internet connection.

If you want a freeware site with no spyware/adware try snapfiles.com. In the freeware section they have a lot of freewares sorted in many different categories.

Try using sizeof() function to determine the size of int and long. This will be different in different systems. Sometimes the size of long will be equal to that of int and sometimes small will be equal to int. The last number is 5bytes long so the size of long should be greater than 5 if you will use long.

I use Borland C++ compiler 5.5. It doesnt include an IDE but it is free. There are many 3rd party IDEs available which can be used along with this awesome compiler. Get it Here Download the compiler. Note that you must register before you downlode the compiler.

A dedicated gaming console which runs on linux is the greatest proof. When it comes to PC gaming lot of game developers are now targetting linux also. There are many popular games which are being ported to linux by the game developers. Try ID software games(all ID Software games are now available for both Windows and linux), when playing you may not be able to make out that whether you are playing it on windows or linux. When it comes to better gaming experence, both windows and linux are the same. Only thing is Linux has a way to go to be more popular OS and then more and more gamedevelopers will target their games to linux.

I haven't completely switched to linux, because of my favorite games and my limited RAM. But I am planning to upgrade my RAM soon and install cedega on my linux. Then I may totally switch to linux. By the way I am using ubuntu this OS is simply cool.

Thats very nice stuff. But editing registry with registry entries/codes for everything is not recommended. Sometimes you may accidentally delete some required values. However most of them can be done without using regedit for example to disable error reporting Click on My Computer properties->Advanced Tab->Error Reporting->Disable error reporting or there are some free tools available to do all those tweaks.Manually editting registry works but it is not recommended.

This is simple. When you simply format(not quick format) the floppy drive it actually writes the entire boot sector to the floppy i.e. it writes the entire 512 bytes including the 480bytes(from 30-509) of bootstrap code. This is how when you simply copy the required files to floppy it becomes bootable. You can notice this if you have an unformatted floppy in the drive and when you start you computer it wont boot(This is only when the BIOS options is set to boot from floppy first)

So this is what the program 'GateKeeper' does.I used to use it before and even i thougt of buying it. But when I tried it on xp it did'nt work.Anyway thank you.

I do not agree with "Linux is not a good option for gaming" as many people say. It is not because Linux is not a gaming OS(it is even better than windows for gaming), it is because most games available are written for windows "ONLY BECAUSE OF POPULARITY OF WINDOWS".

Winzip versions After the v9.0 associates zip files to icon like what you call "the icon show up as default pregnant with baby zip" that is why you see it.
