  2. Tools > Options > Privacy > Show Cookies. Clear everything listed for "forum.tip.it", log in again, then see if it holds. Try clearing cookies for "tip.it" if that fails.
  3. Wine or Cedega, which is a fork of Wine specifically focusing on DirectX applications. Check Wine's application database first, and if there's no support for what you want, check Cedega. Years ago I was a heavy EverQuest player, and got EQ running in Slackware via Cedega with better performance than Win98SE. Back then though, vanilla Wine had little support for DX, and they've come a long way. I don't do anything with most of those, but do look into Gimp as a native Photoshop replacement. Varies widely by software. Check the app databases linked above, or a search of their forums for other people's experiences. Sure. Mount it and make it available as a Samba share, then any Windows machine can access it like any other networked drive. Very functional. What would you need to use it for?
  4. That and note that the listing specifically says "30 days." This is essentially just a limited trial version that McAfee pays Dell to throw on everything they sell. Not only will it bog your laptop down with bloatware (like most of the "big" AVs seem to be these days), but after 30 days it'll nag you to death to buy an upgraded version. Uninstall it and everything it touches.
  5. Check that NTFS filesystems are enabled in your kernel. It wasn't terribly long ago that NTFS write support was considered experimental, and many distros left it out of their stock kernel.
  6. Have you tried another USB port from a different hub? For example, if your PC has front and back USB ports, try the other one. Occasionally you can develop a power problem on one hub that doesn't exist on the other. Also, which carrier are you using, and can you send MMS messages? As an example, I use Verizon. Anything I want on my phone can be sent to [email protected]. Your carrier may have a similar feature.
  7. mIRC is a chat client. Nothing more. What you do with it makes it safe or unsafe.
  8. Pricewatch for PC component comparison shopping. Pay attention to the store ratings and you'll be fine.
  9. Do you have some old hardware lying around? Or a laptop you can keep near the Xbox when you want to use it? I'm not paying $100 for their adapter either. I bought a crossover cable and use my laptop as an internet connection for the Xbox when needed. If you have an old PC or something, a basic linux distro, a $20 wireless PCI card, and a crossover cable would do the trick for well under $100.
  10. Directories that simply store big files ("My Videos" or "My Music" for example) should do fine on an external drive ... assuming you aren't doing something silly like running a media player on startup which will go looking for them. I'd strongly suggest like the others that you don't put volatile system directories (such as "Desktop") there though. There's really no reason whatsoever your Desktop should require any relevant amount of space.
  11. Right. Those settings in TweakUI are only informing your OS where to find those directories. It's up to you to actually move files to or from there. TweakUI lets you change your address, but you still need to call the movers if you want to keep all your stuff.
  12. We need to know which OS you're using. If it's XP, there's several ways to accomplish your task, but the easiest is probably to grab Tweak UI. TweakUI -> My Computer -> Special Folders. Someone else will have to help with Vista ...
