1) Ease of use is personal preference. 2) I can find and edit my start menu in a matter of seconds too. 3) Camera and mic are addons many people don't have a use for. Seen as bloat in my case. Wrong. You can argue any way you want, but this is the same kind of social engineering virus that plagues Windows users and you claim can't happen. This is a matter of person preference and vision again. Macs are marketed as media machines, and it's clearly swayed you. A good LCD, video card and proper color tuning of the monitor will do just as good on Windows. My dad uses XP for all his photo work and does quite well. Or, you could spend half the money on a Windows machine and still do everything the Mac could do without having to screw around with BootCamp. :lol:

You can safely bet money that it's your ISP if it a regular occurrence during different times of day. It also won't be just your neighbors causing the problem. It will be the entire surrounding neighborhood saturating the lines during the times you experience slow downs. Rather hard for one person to saturate the line for an entire neighborhood. :P

Dell is flirting with pre-loading Ubuntu on some of their models. It isn't replacing Windows in any shape or form. Its just being brought in as another choice for consumers. There are also quite a few games that run natively on Linux or under WINE.

DDR1 is not compatible with DDR2 in both directions. If the machine isn't throwing a blue screen when it dies, you need to turn this on and right down the error it gives you. Go to Control Panel > System > Advanced Tab > Click 'Settings' Under Startup & Recovery and make sure "Automatically restart" is not enabled. Next time it dies, post the error codes for us.

Arg, don't edit existing topics for entirely new problems! Now anyone reading this has absolutely no clue what the other replys to this thread mean... :wall:

This has actually happened to me a couple times. All of which were fixed with a quick cache clearing and a bit of confusion. You do receive the actual php (at least in all of my cases), not just the html output. I have no idea what causes it, or why, but it has happened to me on multiple versions of Apache and IIS (along side multiple sites), but all involved FireFox. :-k

He's more than likely commenting on this: Which doesn't really further your cause when you imply Tip.It didn't choose smart staff.

Did you bother waiting for it to actually load? It can take a little while to actually load the landscape if you are on a rather slow connection.

Go ask your parents to let you play. We will not help you get around it.

What format did you save it as on your Vista laptop? You may just be missing the codecs needed to view the video on your XP machine.

If you want to use software requiring a legit copy of XP, you need to get a legit copy. Simple as that.

It very well could be a router problem. Turn on a software firewall, plug one of your machines directly into your modem and run the speed test from there. If you get your normal speeds, there is a good chance it is your router. If you are still getting degraded speeds without the router, you may want to call your ISP to find out if there are any problems beyond your home network.

Regardless of whether Windows Movie Maker comes with it or not, you should download and install SP2 as soon as possible. Machines without it are very easy to exploit for viruses and malware.

Because you apparently think just because you posted it that it should automatically be installed. This is a public forum. If you didn't want public input, you shouldn't have posted it here. Get over it. Good for you. It's nice to have a stable career. It still doesn't mean you know how it will effect the bandwidth usage, stability and load on Tip.It's infrastructure. This mod will be rarely used by the majority of this forum. You, are not the majority of this forum and therefore make the time and effort installing, testing, configuring and maintaining this mod a waste of time. Just because you suggest it does not mean it will be installed. There are much more important things to be done than you being able to reply to topics from your inbox instead of navigating to the thread.

Global announcement posted by Silverion confirming that now. :

Pfft, don't think you're useless with computer stuff just because you're a girl. There are plenty of women that are good with computers. Just takes some practice and effort. :P First question, are you doing these things while it's plugged into the wall and not just running off the battery? If you're doing all this off the battery, it may be draining the battery before finishing or you could have a bad battery that isn't holding a charge. Do any of the fans turn on and does the laptop get very warm before shutting off? You may want to just contact Asus about the problem since it is brand new. Having them diagnose and fix it may be the best route instead of having use try to guess at it.

The mail server for the boards is more than likely down or broken. It'll be fixed when one of the server admins finds out. Nothing major, just a slight annoyance.

Jeppe's 'outsourcing' comment is most likely referring to the fact that Tip.It writes most of their own code instead of just copying and pasting mods or using other pre-written systems. Next, there is no such thing as 'unlimited' bandwidth. Period. Even paying hundreds of dollars a month for an unmetered link, you're still limited by the capacity of the pipe. If you aren't paying a couple hundred a month for that unmetered link, you can bet good money that the host will cut you off if you use too much of that 'unlimited' plan because its costing them money in bandwidth you didn't pay for. Overall, I see no use in this. There's a good chance most of the forum doesn't either. Albosky and the other coders already have enough programming on their hands that something like this is a rather large waste of time. :?

This may just be a bug in MouseKeys itself. I had this happen when I would us it for alching while watching TV. It would work for about half an hour, would then start freezing random windows and eventually the entire machine. :?

Sounds like IE just doesn't know Java is there. Have you tried reinstalling Java?

For the things you list, shelling out $1000 for a MacBook is definitely not worth the price unless she is doing some serious PhotoShop work.

I'm getting tired of explaining this to people on IRC too. If people haven't noticed already, Tip.It actively removes said ads from their rotation as they are found (as poorly as it works, they do remove them). The Jagex threats are pointed toward the sites that advertise these things 24/7 without doing a damn thing about them. Those are the sites propagating the issue. Tip.It already actively removes them to the best of their abilities and you can safely bet Tip.It won't be on Jagex's bad side for actively remove the ads from the site. People need to stop fear mongering and get a clue.

8-9 meters should still be a fairly strong signal. You may want to try changing the channels the wireless signal broadcasts on to try and do away with any interference in the area. You can find the channel settings in your routers configuration pages.

For those complaining about small text sizes: Every major browser out there has an option in its view menu to increase text size. If the links are too small to read on their own, increase the size temporarily and go get your eye prescription checked. There really is no useful reason to keep the index a huge list of forums.

I'm sorry, but that ego of your's needs to be crushed. Tip.It voluntarily runs these servers for your benefit, not the other way around. If the users left, that means the crew doesn't have to deal with whining idiots. No more work, no more stress, no more paying for servers. I'm sure more than a few wouldn't think twice about it if that happened. Until you actively start paying Tip.It for their services, they don't owe you anything. Even if they actively ignored you, there isn't a damn thing you can do about it because you are using their servers and bandwidth. Back on topic Flash ads suck. Period. Regardless whether they're from BurstNet, Doubleclick or some 16 year olds basement server. BurstNet, DoubleClick and related crap ad peddlers will remain blocked on every machine I touch because of all the issues they cause. Depending on the rates agencies pay, Tip.It could most likely downgrade the ads and still keep up their current revenue by inserting another simple ad or 2 mid page that are seen while scrolling threw a thread. Many other forums do this to help with exposure and do fairly well with it. Yes the 12 year olds around here would kick and scream but it would do away with these damn annoying flash ads.
