6 Beeps may indicate a gate problem on the MoBo and mean you need a new motherboard, which means new computer time is probably around the corner.
Actually, you can buy right capacitors from a small computer store and replace all the bulged ones and those beside them, potentially removing the problem. Worth trying especially when capacitors cost 50 cents and a new motherboard costs from 60 to 400 dollars.

Check for bulged capacitors on the motherboard. Just because your power supply was powerful enough to launch everything disregarding messed up capacitors (if that is the case), doesn't mean it will continue doing so.

I use numbers+letters, 17 in total. It's good enough for me.
Adding misspellings can defeat dictionary based attacks, too.
I have a 27GB word list and it includes the most [developmentally delayed]ed ways you can ever spell a word, so no.

Sure, sacrifice one for five, as long as that person who is being sacrificed isn't me.
From another point of view, we have too many people already so letting a few die of "unpreventable natural causes" will help depopulate earth. Again, as long as the person who's dying isn't me.

If it's "dreadfully slow", then it is possible you have a virus or a hardware conflict. Download Process Explorer and see what eats up your cpu usage.
Do you have any anti-spyware/virus programs on your computer?

What is the actual error message you are getting when a program crashes?

What's your vista experience rating?

The ant widget was gone the next day. Now I only have pictures to remember it :(

It's either Adblock Plus on Firefox or Privoxy on any other browser.

What's with all the Putin-ing? Putin is not the president, Medvedev is.
A lot of Americans (for the sake of simplicity, I don't know where they were from when they talked to me with a strong American type accent) visit Moscow, even in winter. Saying the landscape isn't amazing is plain ignorant, there are absolutely wild places in Russia, with wild animals and a lot of mosquitoes.

I wanna put my thingy into your thingy.
My name's [your name]That's so you know what to scream.
The word of the day is "legs." Let's go back to my place and spread the word.

I have an ant crawling around under the LCD cover of my monitor. How do I get it out of there?
It's all fun and games until it decides to die in the middle of the monitor.

The amount of memory firefox uses rises every time you open a new tab. I have 13 tabs open at the moment and firefox uses 113 MB RAM. No apparent memory leak for me.

My remote friend I barely know says it's a 3GB download... Is it worth for my friend I barely know to download it? People who have tried it say it's actually faster than Vista.

No idea why you've decided to pm me instead of replying here.
1) Wrong. Depending on the size of the Java applet/servlet you're running, the CPU usage will vary. If you're running something minor like the Printer Simulation program I'm working on, the CPU usage will pale in comparison if you were running something like RuneScape. This is true on all platforms, without exception. I defy you to prove otherwise. ;)
2) You don't know much about Flash, do you... I'm in no mood to give you the whole history [read], but the quick synopsis is before Adobe bought out Macromedia, Flash was well-supported and stable in Linux. Nowadays, Flash is very unstable and rather risky - even on my machine, which is pretty decent (1.9GHz AMD Athlon X2, 2GB RAM, NVIDIA GFX card), Flash will crash without a second thought. I've tested this several times, too -- when I access the crash-prone site with NoScript on, the browser doesn't crash at all. Could you possibly weigh in as to what else could be causing it?
3) Behold, the power of the repos:
Quote:
makoto@LATLON-Callisto:~$ sudo apt-cache search fglrx
xserver-xorg-video-ati - X.Org X server -- ATI display driver
fglrx-amdcccle - Dummy package for easy transition
fglrx-control - Control panel for the ATI graphics accelerators
xorg-driver-fglrx - Video driver for ATI graphics accelerators
xorg-driver-fglrx-dev - Video driver for ATI graphics accelerators (devel files)
fglrx-amdcccle-envy - Dummy package for easy transition
fglrx-kernel-source - ATI binary kernel module source
fglrx-kernel-source-envy - ATI binary kernel module source
If you're not keen on command line or even Synaptic: [Here's a hard link for you.] Amazing what a little looking around will do, eh? [And yes, your graphics card falls under the ATI 3600 series. [Here's the source for that.]]
4) glxgears isn't a benchmarking tool, so however many fps you got from that doesn't mean anything. No real benchmarking tools exist for Linux (that I'm aware of), but Super-Pi is pretty good.
5) I haven't really looked around to see what all the repos have. This is probably because I haven't needed to - everything that I use on a daily basis is provided for me in a typical installation. I've been told by friends, though, that they can't always find one or two programs that suit their needs. 88% could've been the strict majority in this case - but the reality is that the repositories can provide almost everything that a Linux user needs.
1) Tested on a runescape client, Linux ate up a lot more cpu resources than Windows, so much runescape was lagging. That was back when HD version was not available.
2) If you access it with no script on it doesn't crash? No [cabbage]. Sadly I need flash for my daily work.
3) You've searched for fglrx, and that proves...? My AGP version of 3650 doesn't fall into a 3600 category because it's an AGP version, it needs specific drivers for it. Good luck searching for those. (HD 3650 512M DDR2 AGP)
4) It isn't, but I compare those results to the results of others with similar video cards, who manage to get 8000 fps in that application, and superpi isn't a video card benchmarking tool.
5) A Windows program database provides a user with everything they will ever need. Beat that.
I'm not a Windows fan, but you are making Linux sound a lot better than it actually is. I've used Ubuntu and have concluded it doesn't fit my needs. I had to restart from ubuntu to Windows because I needed to use a one or another program Ubuntu didn't provide, or to browse youtube without crashing on every second video, which is a waste of time. I'm not jumping on a "Linux and Mac SUX lolz" bandwagon either, I'm judging based on facts and experiences, because I've actually used both of those operating systems.

How many tabs do you have open?

Is this your philosophy homework?

It's an OK OS if all of your hardware is supported. In my case, it was a painful experience. High CPU usage from Java, Flash crashed and used up a lot of CPU resources and getting a 1440x900 resolution on my ATI video card was a pain in the [wagon], not to mention my video card was lagging at basic 3d games because appropriate drivers didn't exist, even Beryl didn't work. The software I've used didn't have Linux versions and WINE is a piece of crap. I've used it for a couple of months, and decided to stick with Windows.
1) On any machine I've been on (Windows, Mac, Linux), Java's always had high CPU usage. It's honestly to be expected.
2) Flash has always been poorly supported for Linux. Blame Adobe for that.
3) It's not hard to find fglrx from the repositories, nor is it hard to activate it.
4) If you didn't get fglrx, it's no surprise that anything relating to graphics-intense applications won't work.
5) What did you use? Unless you're an avid gamer, there's a replacement for 88% of Windows software out in the repos, if you take the time to look.
6) Wine is not failsafe or stable. You're using it at your own discretion.
1) High CPU usage compared to Java on Windows
2) Of course, put the blame on something but Linux
3) Really? Find me an AGP version of Sapphire 3650 drivers for linux please, which support 3d acceleration of course.
4) I did for Radeon 9600, got like 200fps in glxgears, which is basically an extremely simple gears animation.
5) Xilinx, where did you get the 88% part from?

What body? You look like an average person. :|

Sarcasm doesn't transfer over the internet well, especially when you've posted topless pictures of yourself and contributed to numerous "I can bench press 350" topics.

Here's how my Halloween went: Came from school, ate, went out with a friend, went to the plaza to meet more friends, all of us went trick or treating, got separated because my friend and I have decided to meet two more people, got a Vendetta mask and a silly scream mask with a tongue out, went from door to door WAZZAPing everyone with the mask on (old people don't get the joke), went behind some school to chill, met a group of black people with baseball bats, nothing happened though, did pull ups, muscle ups, running, handstand push ups, etc and headed home while two of my buddies went to the bar. Now I'm tired.
Do you ever get the feeling...

I have a feeling of quite the contrary, I almost got run over by a car multiple times, but never got hit, I don't put any effort into school work yet I get high marks and somehow impressed the manager I've had an interview with while I had absolutely no idea how to sell a product to a customer (somehow pulled that one off). I guess it's the approach to life that counts the most. It's also quite weird how I manage to pull everything off. It's like every time something bad is about to happen to me, my mind travels to an alternative reality where that event does not happen. /Crazytalk
