dennil's first adventures in Linuxland.

Try LinuxMint. I like it a lot. I am not going to Vista, and have almost given up all of my XP. Just have XP on a 40 gig drive for some games. It is based on Ubuntu, but is pretty slick. This is the 5.0-48 Beta/RC2 version.

If I double my DSL speed, will my browser windows load noticeably faster?

Remember just because you have a ton of bandwith at your connection, doesn't mean that it will increase your downloads all that much. You also have to consider the lines running along your rout to whatever server you are connecting to. I don't know, but it is my suspicion that most servers have...

Need legal advice concerning lifetime rights in the state of Virginia.

Thanks to everyone who has answered. To be honest my financial situation has been dire the past few years. My oldest brother has been paying the taxes for 2 years. He also has sometimes been paying the electric bill. When my significant other moves in here we will be able to afford to pay my...

Thanks Alistar. I will try to find a lawyer in my area, I tried legal aid, but they weren't taking any new cases. I don't have the money for a lawyer to be honest. Thanks again, Perry

Need legal advice concerning lifetime rights in the state of Virginia.

Hello. Let me tell you a little about my situation and see if anyone can make sense of it. I have lived in the state of Virginia all my life and that is where this is happening at. About 4 years ago my father passed away. Before he passed away he was in the hospital. While he was in the...

Question about what I should do for planning

See what classes will transfer to the 4 year school as something other than electives. See if it will go in place of a class you will have to take at the 4 year school. When I first started going to a community college in an applied science degree wanting to transfer i found out most of the...

What is the material with the highest melting point?

I don't know much about stuff like this, but a long time ago I used to work at a place with furnaces and stuff. I don't know how it is spelled, but there is something called encernael or incernail. Good luck with your search. Perry

What are my options?

Well, my old rig died after 4 or 5 years, so last may I went and bought something cheap to satisfy myself for the time being. I currently have a D820, and ATI x1550. How do these compare to the regular midrange stuff out there today. I don't game much, I mainly encode videos and stuff. Mainly...

Does it make you sad to think that you'll die someday?

So many things have been said and written about death. It is something that we all must face and do. If you think about it just a bit then it doesn't seem all that bad. Most normal people have experienced joy and suffering in their life. Some have enjoyed more joy than others, and of course some...

Fergie CD is actually Good.

The stuff you hear on the radio is kind of ok, I like some of it, especially Big Girls Don't Cry, but the rest of the cd is great. I have listened to it a couple times, and it is great. I don't know why so many people here on this forum tare her down. So what she has had problems in her life...

Things you need to believe when you're old and have a computer

I think Aliencraft hit the nail on the head. People see so much stuff about computers from T.V., Movies, and ads run by corporations. What they really are, are people in need of assistance. So I guess you get paid good money to offer your assistance to them. Since you work for an ISP, perhaps...
