I'll be 26 the last day of this month...and it really doesn't mean anything to me. Don't reallly care.

Well, can you still boot up the XP? I have never used Fedora, but have a dual boot Vista/Ubuntu setup. I can use the explorer in Ubuntu to see everything on the drive...including on the Vista partitions. I am not 100% sure of your question.

LMAO --->

Nice job. Every time I see people trying to get magical speeds from torrents, I don't know if it's better to sit down and write up a masterpiece, such as this, or just go on with my day... I'm really not sure about how many bit torrent users REALLY know what is going on when they fire up their favorite P2P client... I suggest that (after a tiny bit of editing) this post should be used as a 'Torrent Download Optimization Guide'...just an idea. It just drives me nuts when I see people looking for un-realistic performance, with the help of some tweaks or a special crack or something...then again, for all I know, some of these people may have the hardware capabilities!

That's a new one to me! I'll give it a shot some time! BTW, I recently installed Ubuntu on my Laptop, so now I can dual-boot Vista Home Premium () or Ubuntu... ...either way, thanks for the heads-up!

Like the difference between Chevy and Ford....they both make cars trucks and vans....well, not really anymore. Now it's Mexicans and Canadians making them!

Yeah, welcome...use these resources to the max! Stay in school...don't do drugs...all that crap.Oh, and use protection...I prefer 9mm semi-auto, but whatever floats yer boat.

I haven't been very religi0s since the time I was born, maybe earlier, I don't know...but a question came to me when I stumbled upon some rants about 'God'. Would God surf the web? If so, what for?Please, I mean nobody any offense, and I also don't need any reasons to convert...This is just a subject I'm curious to hear from people about.If you can't give a straight-forward answer, without yip-yappin' 'bout Jesus this or Buddha that...well nevermind.

I use my laptop a lot, in all kinds of places. I also use my desktop a lot...usually in the same place. When using two or more computers to surf the web, it really helps to have your bookmarks and passwords saved and updated every time you access your web browser. In this quick how-to, I will lay out the steps, in plain English, for even the greenest of beginners to understand. Automatically synchronizing your browsers saves so much time, you will notice right away! > Before we begin, this tutorial will cover using SyncPlaces, a Firefox plugin. What is Firefox? Firefox is a FREE web browser available HERE. I prefer it over Internet Explorer...hands down. SyncPlaces is available HERE. Once you have Firefox running, this is available as an add-on. You will also need to set up a remote FTP host, or a place to upload and download your settings. This is not hard to do. To avoid getting off-topic, I recommend searching the rest of the forums for that info. *Use something secure! If you're getting confused already, relax. Once you get said browser and said browser extension, half of the work is done! *Note* This is my personal, preferred method...Be aware that there are other ways of doing this, with other browsers. Okay! On to the meat of the subject! Open Firefox. Click Tools>Add-ons Select SyncPlaces from list box. Click options. >This information tells Syncplaces where to send/receive bookmarks, etc. Now, click the tab that says Server. Tab: Server>Connection (this is the most important setting) Select the FTP button at the top. Add your FTP host address (if you don't understand, bookmark now and go look up 'FTP Host') Add FTP username Add FTP password Tab: Server>Synchronization You can change the path where SyncPlaces saves data on the server. I leave mine as default, which saves right at the home directory, but organization helps! Now, that is basically it! On the Actions tab, click Send Bookmarks/Passwords. It should pop up and tell you that it is sending. At this point, if it can't connect to server, you need to go back to the Server>Connections tab and check host, user, password. I hope this helps at least one person. This is a very useful tool, but like I said...Not the only one!

Well, to answer the original question, I don't spend much time here at all.Seems pretty lame, but I've just never been drawn to responding to other, real, people. That's aside from the fact thatby the time my kids get to bed, I'm so drained that all I really feel like doing is surfing the web...or streaming a movie. Like right now, my head is pounding so hard...I'm typing between the throbs....Anyways, my reasons for being here range from covering quality web hosting costs (e.g. MyCents) to breaking mynormally -antisocial- behavior...So far, I've only made a couple short, crappy posts, but not to worry! I fully intend on stepping it up.Basically, this is a starter for me to become more interactive with people. Sound crazy? Hope not.

It takes more than one try.

Awesome! I'm glad to get good feedback.

Just took a quick peek...Looks like they are using the 'upload files' technique to bring traffic, more or less sharing AD revenue with users who bring traffic...like getting paid for posting popular topics...hmm, like MyCents? Unless they are binding uploads with their own PPI's? I might check into it more, but in a hurry now. Anyone PM me if they actually see serious earning potential.

I don't mean to take this in another direction, but did the whole meaning of the word hacker just go out the window? How to become a Hacker. <<< skim over these pages. It's not all about high-level knowledge...that seems to be a lesson that comes with experience. The most advanced computer hackers still rely on basic strategies...'black hat' or 'white hat'... either way, it's all fun and games 'till someone gets pissed.

Just want to get a quick show of hands...I recently installed Ubuntu on my Vista, Dual-core Presario.Couldn't help but notice alot of others with similar setups...Any problems with installing or booting?
