    Review: Super Paper Mario

    I really, really want this game. Too bad I still haven't found a Wii. :(

    Viva Pinata : Xbox 360 (v. HOOKED!)

    I see I'm not the only one who loves this game. I've been playing it even more than Gears of War. I can see myself playing this pretty regularly for years. It's easy to pick up, but incredibly difficult to master. I recently switched from PC gaming to Xbox 360, and between Gears of War and...

    Cannot get SuSE 10.1 to install

    I just installed Suse 10.1 on my server. Compared to 10.0, it's dog slow. The new package management system, quite frankly, sucks hard. It uses ~%35 of my memory to do anything. It's too bad too, because everything else about Suse 10.1 is awesome. Hopefully they start sending out patches...

    Internet problems in linux

    Ifconfig is already included in pretty much any distribution. You don't have to download it, just log in as root and run it. The output of the 'lspci' command would be useful as well.

    Linux Machine Router?

    Depends on the specs really. I run a VIA SP8000 board as a router/traffic shaper/firewall and it's plenty fast for that (and handles me downloading multiple torrents with no problem whatsoever), but it's not suitable for anything requiring any real speed. I don't know if it would be fast...

    Linux Machine Router?

    It's doesn't matter. Linspire is designed to be a Linux desktop, not a server or router. I would highly recommend something along the lines of IPcop or Smoothwall instead. They will be easier to set up, faster, and much more secure. You'll soon find that in the Linux world, the free...

    Best card to keep my system alive a litte longer?

    I have almost the exact same setup as you, the only difference being a 2.8 Ghz P4C. :) I'm looking to buy a new AGP card for Oblivion, and don't want to spend too much since I plan on upgrading to a completely new system in another year. I've looked around and it seems like the 6600GT is...

    May not be possible. Compaqs are "renowned" for having shoddy ACPI/APM implementations.

    Few q's from a noob

    Runlevel 0 means the computer has been shut down. The reason it's not being turned off is either an ACPI or APM incompatibility. If you don't understand stuff like runlevels, you should probably pick up a Linux book and read it.

    Really Dumb Linux Noob question

    I really recommend picking up a Linux book. A lot of the questions you're asking indicate that you don't understand the basics of using Linux. It's not a bad thing, everyone has to start somewhere. I was at the same place you are now about 6 years ago. Pick up a book, or two, and read it...

    Rise of the Triad "ROTT"

    There was a sequel called "Fury3". Definitely one of my favorite games. The sequel to Fury3 was Hellbender, which I bought as soon as it came out, but don't remember enjoying nearly as much.

    Apple turns down Cell? (implications for PS3)

    Sorry, bud, but the reason Cell is so fast is not that it is less precise. I'm not saying it's the future of all processor architectures, but it is very well designed. I'm a computer engineering student doing a little bit of research in this area, so I have a bit of experience with designs...

    Headphone amp

    You'd probably be better off spending the money on a new set of headphones. The V-600s are widely regarded as pretty terrible headphones, and I doubt an amp would make them much better.

    a recommendation on a headphone amp for bose QC2

    Definitely look for other headphones. Those are trash.

    Efficiency c/c++

    I agree that more lines of code=more bugs, but with a modern compiler, more lines with the same functionality translates into very similar instruction sequences (unless you're doing something really weird :p )

    Efficiency c/c++

    Very very wrong. Lines of code has nothing at all to do with efficiency. Algorithmic efficiency controls efficiency, not the number of lines in your code.

    Wrong. The loop won't be broken until the conditional is tested again (at the end of the statement block).

    Is Linux a good OS?

    I prefer Linux over Windows, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's better for everyone. Try it, if you like it, use it. :)

    dang linux

    The Linksys LNE100TX should run off of the tulip driver (IIRC), which is included in Linux. No need to download anything. Just (as root) type 'insmod tulip'.

    Funny Microsoft Netblock Uptime

    Just a bit hostile are we? It's just funny that the two highest uptimes in the Microsoft netblock are *nix servers. Sure, maybe it's inaccurate, but it's humorous. You know, humor? ;)

    Funny Microsoft Netblock Uptime

    Notice the two OSes with the highest uptime in the Microsoft netblock. I'm not trying to start an argument, but you have to admit it's rather funny. :D http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/hosted?netname=MICROSOFT-1BLK,65.52.0.0,65.55.255.255

    Booting Windows 2000 off of a non-C: drive

    I did mark it active, using the disk management console, and it was able to boot, and read the boot.ini. However, Windows 2000 automatically assigns "C:" to the boot drive (idiocy), regardless of what the letter the drive was before. This fubared the install.

    iptables help

    Try changing $IPTABLES -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $EXTIF -j MASQUERADE to $IPTABLES -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE. That's what I use, and it works well.

    That only applies for Windows XP, not 2000. I wouldn't have missed something that obvious. ;)

    Improved ATI linux driver support petition

    I'm tempted to do the same. I need a functional, stable 3d accelerator under Linux, and although I like my ATI card, I think it's getting swapped out for something made by Nvidia.

    Booting Windows 2000 off of a non-C: drive

    I found out how to mark the partition as active, but that resulted in it being the 'C:' upon boot, so it couldn't find any of the OS files. I ended up just formatting the stupid thing. Crap like this is why I use Linux... :mad:

    Booting Windows 2000 off of a non-C: drive

    I did everything you specified except set D: as active, which it seems the Windows 2000 diskpart utility can't do. I'm pretty sure this is what I need to do to fix it though. Any ideas?

    Booting Windows 2000 off of a non-C: drive

    I have a bit of a problem. I just replaced a hard drive in a system that already contains a somewhat older backup drive. I formatted the new drive, installed Windows 2000, and during the install, Windows 2000 detected the backup drive as C: (it's the primary master), and the new drive as D...

    Did you like CS?

    I was 18 at the time, and I agree. CS was fun during beta because teamwork existed back then. Now, on the public servers at least, the little kids have taken over. I still like the idea of enforcing an age limit on games. If you're 16 or under, you should be required to take a test of...
