RE: Help! Restore Bootloader
SGD has a menu option for "fixing windows boot"- that will restore ntldr etc, and not give you the option of booting into Ubuntu. Anyway, GRUB is surprisingly easy to fix. Hang on a second. EDIT: using the live CD, can you get to boot/grub/menu.lst... | Verte | Tech Talk | 09-03-2007 at 10:43 AM |
RE: computer tv hook up situation

RE: "Network Cable Unplugged"

RE: Building a Media PC / Network storage
Oh, I agree, it kind of feels bad. If you were putting together a system for general use, or especially one for gaming or something, VIA are out. But, it seems Veggie is in share accommodation. Don't really know about their experiences, but if it's... | Verte | Tech Talk | 08-28-2007 at 03:36 PM |

Um, passive cooling? :) plus the power usage and form factor bonuses, I guess. | Verte | Tech Talk | 08-28-2007 at 02:25 PM |
RE: Building a Media PC / Network storage
Passive cooling ;) Besides, do you really need a C2D for a Media PC? | Verte | Tech Talk | 08-28-2007 at 02:10 PM |
RE: [Urgent] I/O operation failed

RE: Text editor color schemes
Sometimes, it's surprising how much difference turning the brightness down makes. I like the default gedit colours, though I use emacs. White background, black text [AT LEAST 14 pt- it makes a real difference, try it! If you've got the screen real ... | Verte | Tech Talk | 08-26-2007 at 07:16 AM |
RE: What happens when I put me laptop to sleep?
If this sort of stuff interests you, you should take a look at Coyotos, which we're hoping to get the Hurd running on soon. It's pretty much persistent, which means you can pull the plug on your machine, plug it back in, and it would be like nothin... | Verte | Tech Talk | 08-25-2007 at 05:11 PM |
RE: [Urgent] I/O operation failed
Have you tried restarting again? It might be a bad sector, I'm not sure what you do with those in Windows, but google might help :P | Verte | Tech Talk | 08-25-2007 at 12:02 PM |
RE: What happens when I put me laptop to sleep?
Even then it will be fine- try it! If your computer is suspended to ram and it runs low on battery, it will actually shut itself down properly [at least, most operating systems do- or they suspend to disk]. | Verte | Tech Talk | 08-25-2007 at 12:00 PM |

RE: Javascript Page Loading???
Words, such as "It, be, within, fair, use", were all used in my post, and are copyright. That's pretty much the basis of his argument. EDIT: and if the sarcasm wasn't obvious, no, giving an element an ID and calling hide on it is not copyright. B... | Verte | Tech Talk | 08-18-2007 at 04:34 PM |
RE: Messenger Plus compatible with Gamepe?
I believe some features may be compatible and some may not.

RE: Collecting Intel CPUs
I think I have, somewhere, a 486 DX and an 80286. I'll do some digging. | Verte | Tech Talk | 08-12-2007 at 06:54 AM |
RE: DirectX 10.1
I'd think it was more the last DX that was underspecified. When you leave wriggling room in a standard, you can't expect certain features to be there. I think we should take a lesson from the first revisions of OpenGL- that specified a certain mini... | Verte | Tech Talk | 08-11-2007 at 02:06 PM |
RE: Gmail hacked over WiFi HotSpot
I bet it's possible to secure yourself by encrypting all your IP traffic, though you will need a way to decrypt it at the server end. And you know, I bet TOR would work most of the time. | Verte | Tech Talk | 08-10-2007 at 10:18 AM |

RE: Vista over Ubuntu
Well, there are plenty of firewalls that do work on Vista, I'm sure there are recent threads on this. Besides, Vista support is being added fairly quickly now- I'm not sure any major AV provider doesn't support it now. Been hearing good things abo... | Verte | Tech Talk | 08-06-2007 at 03:00 PM |
RE: Vista over Ubuntu
This is sillyness. Sure, it will be a little more resilient to intentional hacks directed at the OS through HTTP. However, most exploits work through applications and dynamic web content, which you will still be running in Windows I presume. I don't... | Verte | Tech Talk | 08-06-2007 at 07:29 AM |

RE: new windows os - and no not vista!
Slashdot were calling it Windows Se7en. I don't think it will be that kind of horror story- I actually do think they will deliver much of the nice things we were promised for Vista. But, time will tell. | Verte | Tech Talk | 07-31-2007 at 03:30 PM |
