I got a new 20" TV! I've been using the same 13" TV for years and my parents thought it was time for an upgrade. Now I have to make space in my room for it. :)

My parents got me a buttload of...

If you're just doing C work, KDevelop may not be necessary. I do a lot of work in C and I find Kate, KDE's Advanced Text Editor to be suitable to the task. You can have multiple files open and ready...

A good-for-linux laptop recommendation. I've got the money (most), I just need to buy it.

I could use more memory.

Cable sleeves. I've got a clear case so everyone can see my mess.

What do you know? A few minutes ago a story was posted on slashdot about the $100 PC. The cool thing is it uses about 10 watts of energy and runs off of 12 volts DC! A laptop battery could handle...

PIC microcontrollers are really easy to get into. They're not too complex, easy to learn, tons of info on the net about 'em, uber cheap (free, even), and don't need much to start working with. But,...

Current battery technology sucks. What you're asking is for a battery to supply 350-500 watts for who knows how long. That's quite a bit. It might, just might be possible if you're using a very lean...

No! No crossover whatsoever! My sister got a digital camera and likes to take a ton of pictures, so my file server seemed like a logical place to store them. My stuff and her stuff are on completely...

You mean you don't have a seperate server for that? :)

I use my main computer for the following:

Listening to music
Web browsing
Email and usenet
Programming (C and asm)
OS development...

First question: Do you want to build your own processor or would you be happy using an existing microcontroller like the PIC, AVR, 6502, Z80, 8085/8088, etc?

If you want to build your own...

Well, about ten minutes after the previous post, I restarted Firefox, and guess what? Everything works perfectly now. It just needed to warm up a bit, I guess. I retract all statements about Firefox...

I found this out very soon after posting it. You need to enable it if you want to install themes from a webpage with one click. I noticed another thing: When I go to type in the address bar or google...

I just installed it and it's working okay. I had to delete the whole directory that had the previous install so I could install it in the same place. Just a nuisance, but nothing big. It had a hiccup...

If you use KDE, it's under the 'Edutainment - Miscellaneous' menu, listed as ktouch.

I type using 2-4 fingers, usually my middle fingers and index fingers, with the thumb doing spacebar duty and pinkies occasionally filling for shift and control duty. I've learned how to touch type...

After reading through all the discussions on why C++ probably shouldn't be used in the kernel, I've come to realize that I'll never need to use C++ again. Ever. C can do many of the things C++ can...

I've heard of Gentoo being faster than many other distros such as RedHat, Suse, and Mandrake, which doesn't surprise me, but this is the first time I've heard that Gentoo was significantly faster...

Wow, that's funny you know, because land lines cost money. As was previously pointed out to you, this is an alternative to a phone which carries a very prohibitive cost. Shouldn't you know something...

Use MighMos' method, just start at the root filesystem. Start from / and work your way from there locating the really large directories. You should check /var and /tmp, I believe those are some...

Thanks for the reply. I finally quit wondering and just got down to business a few weeks ago. I installed Slackware 10 and recompiled the kernel to include support for my SCSI adapters, RAID, and...

Have you tried restarting KDE? I believe it says something about only affecting new programs so you need to restart KDE to see the effect.

Ahh, I see now. But if software is going to be sit in a box on a shelf, why bother with a case at all? A paper sleeve should do the trick if it is taped to the inside of the box.

What you are saying makes sense ... in a perfect world. In a perfect world, people make up their minds based on the quality of a product, not its packaging and pretty colors. The same is not true in...

You're looking for Slax .

I've just purchased a little ps2 to serial adapter to play around with. I was wondering if there is any way I could get this thing to work with a keyboard. The thing's probably only intended for...

I have some likes, too.

I like being in control of everything. And I mean it when I say it, I'm not just repeating some overused phrase the zealots constantly spew. I like being able to kill a...
