  1. From my comment: There are so many reasons why I don't like Vista These all do come from personal experience. 1. Crazy system requirements. There is absolutely no reason to design an OS that is such a resource hog--especially for the average user. The eye-candy isn't even appealing to me. 2. Support for older hardware. The way that vista was built not only demands a newer machine (due to the high system requirements), but many of my peripherals no longer worked. My HP scanner simply was not support, and the software that came with a Creative Zen just wouldn't install. 3. Security. First
  2. What theme are you using? I like it!

    Update Kernel

    Thanks for the info jcl. I'll wait for Intrepid for the kernel update.
  4. According to kernel.org, the latest stable kernel is 2.6.27 but I get: matt@laptop:~$ uname -r 2.6.24-19-generic on Ubuntu 8.04. How can I get the update manager fetch the newest one?
  5. Nah, there are tons of tools out there to use for project collaboration. Lots that don't require you to upload your stuff to a 3rd party website.
  6. Sorry for digging this up, but just wanted to throw in a couple of comments. I did a Google search for Joomla 1.5 exploits, and some pretty concrete stuff came up. Check their website frequently to see if they have any recommended patches.
  7. never mind, got it: input.nextLine();
  8. I'm looking for a way to use a scanner object to take a String from input, and not divide tokens with spaces. So when the user enters a string, it will take the whole thing, regardless of spaces. I'd like to accomplish this without the use of regex. name1 = input.next(); Edit: let me just add, that it will need to use whitespace as a delimiter also. For example, entering 55 66 new york i'd like to grab 55, 66, and new york Thanks, Matt
  9. My town is on day 3 without power from Ike. This resulted in a 3000 student riot. Protest in front of Miami University President's house

    Linux Humor

    Sure go for it! By the way, how did you find our site?
  12. I got bored last night and made some linux motivational posters.
  13. Heh, try setting up flash to run on an 64-bit version of Linux. Not only does flash support suck for linux, but Adobe doesn't even have a plugin compatible with 64-bit firefox. My choices were to run 32-bit firefox or emulate the plugin from 32-bit (I chose the latter). Isn't that why you got into Linux? To break things and then fix 'em
  14. Wow! I wasn't aware you left Linux--thought you still used Gentoo!
  15. http://www.freshports.org/www/linux-flashplugin7/ Do you have nspluginwrapper and emulators/linux_base-fc4 ?
  16. Edit: Ah ok, so its a permissions deal.*Matt tries to think of a good chmod for theese... Thanks jcl
  17. matt@laptop:~$ ls Music When I execute this command, it lists all of the subdirectories within my /home/matt/Music directory. I'm used to directories showing up blue within my terminal. Why are some of the ones here blue while others are highlighted green?
  18. They're using something called "Highslide JS" http://vikjavev.no/highslide/
