  1. in order to get my Wlan to work, I had to go into the config file and manually put in the essid line for it to work. in my case I had to put "linksys" in the line for the essid in the config file. then my WLAN option showed up on the laptop. worked from there on.
  2. did you get the dvd iso or the liveCD iso? if you got the cd version that is your problem. the cd version is not designed to run from a DVD disk. believe it or not there is a difference.
  3. just hit enter, the system will load what it needs to work. It will may ask a few questions, just answer the prompts if it does.
  4. it shouldn't have booted to the command line. did you get anything else?? i'll load mine up and see what is going on.
  5. REALLY!?!?! tell me more ... was there a purpose to this comment???? thats a pretty vague response, so enlighten us as to what you were trying to say Big words for a big guy. as of this point it would be a good idea for you not to comment any further as your comments so far have no realtivity to this topic. for that I refer you to our Terms of Use

  7. I forgot to mention you will not have access to your Windows files while you are in Ubuntu
  8. no you need a program like Nero or Nero express, I usually open Nero Express then choose make an ISO. that takes care of putting it on the blank cd. Next reboot your computer with the disk in the drive making sure your system boots from the cd-rom not the hard drive. then enjoy I presume you have a dsl connection, if you do then you will have internet access with it.
  9. I can honestly say that TK hasn't been in chat for a few weeks. I'm sure he has just been extremely busy with real life. and with the recent loss of his friend he may be a little more scarce. if you ever want to pop into chat just click on the live chat link as mentioned above. If you decide you want to have a stand alone client let us know, some of us here spend more time in there then we should, like me, so the answers are abundant.
  10. this is cruel, the teacher should be fired and the students reprimanded. I don't think this requires expulsion of the students, but definately a suspension. minimum of a week.
  11. I really don't know what to say. so I have put up this poem I made, it has been published and is copywritten so please ask before you copy or use it for other public reasons. Stop The Pain I sit here wondering why we are the way we are. Wondering what makes us do what we do. There is no reason and no rhyme. Shooting each other all the time. If we can live next to each other, Then we shouldn't try to kill each other. We all live in the same world. Let's stop killing ourselves over stupid things, Gangs, drugs, racism. It is all a waste. Not only of time but of life. We should value ourslves mor
  12. first idea would be to download a livecd of a distro. This way you get a general feeling for linux without having to do a full install. That way if Linux isn't right for you, you haven't screwed up your Windows install. Ubuntu is a good one pretty much works out of the box. or any other distro you might be insterested in, you can find a list of them at FozenTech's LiveCd List regardless of which one you choose, someone here can help you out.

    Energy Prices

    on average the gas side of my bills are around $80 a month during the winter, and thats with the thermostat set at 68F. it's my electric that is killing me. I use around $$90 to $100 a month in electric. but looking at all the past bills for this house that's even low, so I can't complain. what I complain about is even with that they have my budget billing set at $210 a month. i won't be bothered with re-averaging it this year, I will just pay the bill when it comes and save me around $30-$40 a month
  14. The Truth about Dogs The reason a dog has so many friends is that he wags his tail instead of his tongue. -Anonymous Don't accept your dog's admiration as conclusive evidence that you are wonderful. -Ann Landers If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went. -Will Rogers There is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face -Ben Williams A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself. -Josh Billings The average dog is a nicer person t
  15. one thing you need to realize, to some of us it is a form of artwork. which is how I look at it. Once again, just because you don't care for it, doesn't mean everyone has to stop looking at it, or enjoying it. as of this point it would be probably best for you to drop this line of discussion here since your comments are not relevent to the original topic, and it appears that you are trying to start a flame war.
  16. go to the link and you will find even hotter ones
  17. sweet desktop Dragon. where do get that one? you know mac, it's sad, I just downloaded it today, but don't remember where from lol. if you want a copy of it, let me know I will post it for ya. Edit: found it http://animebabes.galeon.com/hotanimebabes/hotanimebabes.htm because with anime images they pay attention to details that a pic of a normal person just can't meet the standard of. just because you don't like it, doesn't mean everyone has to give up on it.
  18. if your interested in using A Byte Of Python you can download it from my mirror of it. I'm listed at the byte of python homepages also http://bop.iabusinessprojects.com
  19. latest screenshot, at least until I get the one I plan on making done. ubuntu 5.10 Breezy Badger with Gnome
  20. I have a domain purchased, and the websight listed in the yellow pages. But as of now, it is just parked at godaddys. I need to get a simple page put together soon. I originally did not expect the phone book to be published(and delivered) until February, so this caught me off guard. I feel like I need to make a logo. Once that is done, it should be easy to write a simple page. www.brighteyedcomputer.com ok, pardon the slight spamming, but you know what I do right???? .............Web design and much more I also make custom graphics
  21. Aye, couldn't say it any better. Happy Holidays Everyone, and may all your wishes come true
  22. I was looking at your blog code with FF, I'm not too impressed with the way that cookie looks. Especially the name of it. I was trying to read it's non-sensical script, and was unable to really determine anything from it. However, I wonder if that cookie might be what is messing with the IE viewability. Unless you put the cookie their yourself, try to remove it and see if that makes a difference. Below is the cookie code I was talking about. <script type="text/javascript"><!--var ID = 14100699;var HATE_INTERSTITIAL_COOKIE_NAME = 'dismissedInterstitial';var FLAG_COOKIE_NAME = 'flagge
