don't knock Vtec. While I was working for Honda they sold the Vtec designs to GM in exhange for OnStar. those Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control (vtec) engines really do improve the gas mileage and power.

heh, ya know Marty, I never thought about that until you brought it up. for that matter, even though it seems to be the rage to buy Jeans already with holes in them currently, I remember having those iron on patches put on the holes in the knees of my jeans when I was a kid. Those were always the first place to wear through as we were growing up. Felt like you had plastic coating on the knees of your jeans when you were doing anything.

being a winsock error, I can tell by looking at your log it wasn't related to any malware on the system. At least that is usually visible with HJT. If they had Newdotnet on there and then removed it incorrectly, that would corrupt the winsock setting. Glad you were able to get it working again.

that was the status in Hoary, it was listed as 1.0.2 with all the fixes that actually made it 1.0.4 so in order to get the extensions and themes to download we had to modify that one string. In Breezy it is 1.0.7 with the fixes up to that point. they have taken FF and done the same thing that Windows did with IE and the OS. if you want 1.5.01 on breezy you have to install it from source or using Advantix. then you have to link everything to it. you cannot just remove ff 1.0.7 from Ubuntu since it is integrated into the OS.

hi lotus, Not sure if you got this figured out yet or not, but here is the process. you would have to do this on every puzzle piece. http://www.webdevelopersnotes.com/tutorial...ouse_drags.php3

nice handplane, One thing I noticed tho, on your second sonic image it shows the sonic behind the red X unlike the other one. Just thought you would like to know. Ed

this should help you get that taken care of. its a lengthy process and you have to have you Windows ME installation disk available. If you dont' then your best bet is to just do a full clean install of XP and dump ME. http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/windowsxp_sg_clean.asp

thats why parents need to be more pro-active about the time their kids spend on the net. I let my 5 year old play on the net, but he can only go to specifically chosen sites by either me or my wife. When he is on the computer I come in here and see what he is doing about every 10 to 15 minutes or so. If I see a site I don't feel he should be on, he either changes to an approved site or loses the computer for the rest of the night. And he will never have a computer in his own room connected to the net. Net access will only be allowed on this machine or my laptop. i may be strict by some parent

hiya TK, Well from the looks of the HJT log, that computer is clean. Have you tried doing a connection repair? if they are on DSL or Cable you can go to start>control panel>network and internet connections>network connections. right click on the local area connection and choose repair. also check the following: click on start>run then type cmd after the dos window comes up type ping followed by a website address of your choice. Let us know what if any packet loss there is.

I'm actually not using the current stable version of Debian (sarge), but, Etch which is the testing branch. So far I've found it to be very stable and haven't encountered any bugs yet. Etch is quite modern, it is using the 2.6.15 kernel and KDE 3.5.1. But, yeah Fire Fox 1.0.7 won't have all of the bells and whistles that 1.5 has. Have you encountered any bugs in the apps from the SID repos, t0c? If SID is okay I'll upgrade to the unstable branch in awhile. if it is 1.5 but listed as 1.07 then you can change the useragent in ff to 1.5 Browse to about:config Change the "general.useragent.v

If you just ordered Ubuntu it will be version 5.10. correct, They will post in the shippit order area what version you are ordering, if it's a preorder, they have it listed as such. btw, Hitest, orders for Dapper will be available in June. They have pushed the release date by six weeks.

I can't tell you the number of times where one of my kids sat there and threatened to call child services on me for punishing them. I'm still a firm believer in the occasional swat on the rear if it's something serious enough to require it. Last time one of my kids did that, I picked up the phone, dialed the number and said "Here ya go, shoot your mouth off" the cops showed up and told him straight up. "You have two choices, listen to your father, or he can bring you up on adult abuse charges." These kids now a days take the law for granted, until the law tells them that they are wrong. at lea

on average it takes up to the full 8 weeks to receive the disks from Ubuntu. Although I have a bad tendancy of pre-ordering mine for the new version they release every 6 months. so mine tends to be around 2 or 3 months.

Tiger direct will ship to Canada, although in my opinion they are more expensive compared to NewEgg. Here are some other sites that ship to Canada. http://www.monarchcomputer.com/Merchant2/m...ategory_Code=WC http://www.directron.com/index.html http://piloshop.ca/inkjetcartridges/cPath/6.html <--don't let the name in the link fool ya, they sell computer parts too.

why fix it? they are more worried about their Xbox and Windows Vista to worry about a program they designed for presentations. IMHO, OpenOffic.Org is the way to go for those. but once again you are still in the same boat. I have to agree with the infranview idea, it would be a quick way to do it, but regardless of how you still have to replace the images in the pp files with the bmp files.

I tell ya, if only we had it this easy when we were growing up. I remember when the color monitor came out for a computer, 8 bit graphics, as close as you could get to the type of graphics they had on the video games at the arcades. 10 cents to play a pinpall game, 25 cents to play a video game, and you waited in line at the arcade to play the newest one. sometimes up to 2 hours before you got on it. ya know, I never realized how much I missed the days when I was growing up until now. If we had the tech that these kids do now, life would have been sweet. I remember my mom going to school to l

I was born before the 80's too. I still remember the styrofoam cartons that Big Macs came in, you could go to your local pharmacy and buy a malt for $1.50, and you got two glasses worth out of one order. The only people who had computers were working for the government. My first computer was an apple ][e. To play Super Mario, Super Mario Brothers you had to go to the local arcade. you could buy bubble gum balls for a penny, Snickers bars for 39 cents, and a gallon of gas was 65 cents. gas choices consisted of Regular (which contained Lead), Unleaded or Diesel. Richard Petty was the Nascar dr

When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious diatribes about how hard things were when they were growing up; what with walking twenty-five miles to school every morning ... uphill BOTH ways.. yadda, yadda, yadda. And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there was no way in hell I was going to lay a bunch of crap like that on kids about how hard I had it and how easy they've got it! But now that...I'm over the ripe old age of thirty, I can't help but look around and notice the youth of today. You've got it so easy! I mean, compared to my childhood, you live i

or in my case, work at making your own distro for your system, it's kinda fun mixing distros together to get what you want, just remember you want the same base system for all parts in my case debian.

yes for some reason the crystal sound chips don't work well with ubuntu. what they have actually recommended is to try a different sound card. Some linux distros don't really care for on-board sound card/chips.

here ya go crrj, sorry it looks the way it does, but I had to do a cut and paste to make it fit.

my latest desktop. This is an actual photo of the moon taken at the North Pole, I just animated the water in the foreground. Dialup users, please note this is a large file, almost 1gig in size

If your computer has a Card Reader on it, you could try and use the flash memory card as a type of pendrive, not sure if that will work or not, could have some Software restrictions preventing that from happening.
