  1. I know.. but you did not say how.. I post the how.. (even though you probaly just edited the file.. )
  2. This is not a bug or a hole. A hole would have to exsist in the OS to allow an exploit from *office. The problem with MS Office is that the hole is in the OS (windows) as the same hole is not exploited from using office through WINE, because WINE does not have the same hole Windows does. in this case, a seperate hole would have to exploited for each OS and possabaly each release of Linux if it targeted it, also to the point, you can disable macros (it ask by default if you want to run them, if you did not make the doocument DON'T run the micro.. click NO) While I respect that not all people
  3. it takes me all of five min to kill ubuntu.. try installing webmin.. then try to uninstall it.. this normally makes apt unuseable.. it will keep complaining that it cant find webmin (as it uninstalles it wrong) and will stop any update there.. I hate user friendly OS.. if you know what you are doing.. (or think you do) they are too easy to break
  4. from the OPENssh faq Both OpenSSH and PuTTY include mechanisms in their key generator tools to convert keys from other formats to the OpenSSH key format. SourceForge.net uses the OpenSSH key format, but some users of unsupported SSH clients may still wish to connect to SourceForge.net using a familiar SSH client. Do note, however, that we still strongly urge you to use a unique SSH key for each host that you connect to. To convert the key type, do the following (KEYFILE is the filename and path for the SSH private key that is to be converted): OpenSSH: The ssh-keygen utility will convert a key
  5. the only problem with the story is, there is no virus.. a scripts the user has to click yes on opens a picture from the internet( why you need a macro) this does not run an exeacutable, it does not compermise anything, does not reproduce, does not do anything but show a picture... and last time I checked, downloading porn is what the internet is for...
  6. I found that the .bin installer works wih all distro's so if you are not sure .. pick bin
  7. it should not allow you to format a mounted drive.. so you should be ok.. but wrap it in a try statment or if statment and check if mounted.. (I know.. sounds easy.. produce code) well since all two years of C++ in collage tought noting useful about devices or such,, I am not sure..
  8. Yes kde makes things pretty easy. Heres another little .desktop file that adds a compile action for .java files. [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 ServiceTypes=text/x-java Actions=CompileJava [Desktop Action CompileJava] Name=Compile Java File Exec=javac %f Icon=package_system did you dubmit the change to kfloppy.. This a great addition..
  9. also on that, you can add signatures from any other virus scanner (norton for example .. that you can still get free from there site) if clam does not have one you think you need. and then submit them a report.. it will be there in as much as a day.. I have seen hours..
  10. in case othersr are intrested http://www.clamav.net/
  11. is it better than clamav?
  12. I do understand not everyone wants to go to command line, but for us old timers.. we just think why not?? I am not sure about your position on partiitoner as in Windows you go to drive manager which is a partitioner (or maybe you can do it in my computer right click format, but that would be stupid.. sorry you just formated C drive.. windows will try to reboot if you think its a good Ideal to have one , it should be easy to build (a front end to the command you already did) maybe I'll do one in mono or python.. here is one such front end Shanenin (think of it as a project) might be able to fi
  13. formating is a admin function so very few gui tools have been made as its too easy to mess up (opps I ment sda not hda.. well there goes root) since most people are used to windows and "drives" but with that said, qtparted is a gui tool kind of like partition magic I am not sure if it is apart of suse or you may need to install it using yast let me know if its not there and I'll show you how to install it. gparted is another tool, you need the gtk libs, but if it is in yast it will install what you need. (should be in yast as its an offical gnome project)
  14. I'm guessing your trying to kill engine hum. the cap is between + and the amp, as for two wires to ground, so amps have two different grounds, so tie these together and run a larger multi strand wire. remember electricity runs from negative (ground) to positive (hot). the bigger your ground cable (or the more cables combined) the more current that can flow to the stereo
  15. ok here is my problem, if I leave my ipod pluged in to my Mac it will not shut down. you select shut down and it keeps rebooting.. I shut it down as it has upgraded dual 1.9 ghz g4 and they are loud (fans) and hot. any advice (I know unplug the ipod...) thanks OS X 10.4 (have to boot it to get exact, but is upto date with all patches. )
  16. you really can't judge Linux by a distro.. that is why there are thousands of them.. if you have more problems just write and we answer.. also if somehting is not working please report all steps done (like did you run start X) how did you config the xorg.cong. what video card... ect good luck
  17. hmmm, so your saying its standard to write unreadable or hard to read code?? at lest comment the code so normal humans can read it. or least so I can understand the math... but thats just my openion.. and that all its worth.
  18. wow I don't even have a clueas to what that does.. can you explain it.. and why who ever wrote it is really dumb as things like q,c and s are horrable vairable names.. here are some examples of a crc check in vb http://www.vbaccelerator.com/home/vb/Code/...C32/article.asp sorry if someone could explain the math it would be easyier
  19. since I am not sure the version of centOS or what kernel version you are using.. has generic information http://tuxoft.de/V3/ this using blue tooth http://www.integrasoftware.it/index.php?op...id=84&Itemid=28 if you can post a copy of the dmesg output after pluging in the phone, that would help
  20. need more information.. what phone... for one..

    vmware is a program you install in windows (you got server correct?) so your standard install will ask you wher eyou want it installed, as it does not matter where. after that start vmware and select create new virtual machine.. at this point you walk through options like you were building a computer. select ide drive types insted of SCSI its when you are creating the "computer" that you pick your spare drive as the place it resides. since you have 10 gigs I would not make my drive over 8 so you can do snapshots.. snap shots let you "back up" to a known good point here is the vmware isntru
  24. only if drives are mounted with the sync option, which most are, but flash drives and fat drives are not by default
  25. add to How do I shut down my machine? sync halt shutdown -h now (or your WM or DM has a shutdown or reboot buton)
