from the ubuntu website they will ship you 5 live and 5 install cd's to spread. guess what i'm giving out for christmas next year. lol
good luck, goman.
i'm having issues with mywireless canrd on this laptop.
M
They ship more than 5 of each, or at least they used to, because I ordered like 50 total of them one time.

it may be a acpi issue
at the first prompt at boot type this is
linux acpi=off
its right after teh system starts to boot, most people hit enter here to make it boot..
I tried that, but it didnt boot the Live CD, it started to install, I noticed because it asked how I wanted to partition.
Shall I try something different?
Are you sure you downloaded the live version, and not an install disk by mistake?
-
It works now.

Why is your link to the g4 forums thread on posting Hijack this logs?

Ran across this ondigg.com a few minutes ago and then saw your thread.

That's kind of cool, I just never really got inot fishing, I just don't see how people can do it. Just not my thing lol.

Hey thanks, I don't post here too much but I do enjoy reading these forums, I hope you all had a nice holiday. I plan on going sledding with some friends and then to go see my mom in the hospital, and hopefully I'll get my ibook today.
Thanks again

Since we're nitpicking, as far as I know Bill's only experience with systems programming was MS's early micro Basics, Windows is definitely not based on Basic, and while Bill may well be a great programmer, I've never heard him described as such.
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Agreed, and if I may add he certainly isn't the most important man on Earth.

This is a essay I did for a english class am in, I am in 10 grade English II. I got a 98 out of 100 percent on it. I spent 3 hours at home on it, this is based off a autobiogarphy about him. This is in 5-paragraph essay form with a thesis statement and transitions from paragraph to paragraph
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Ok, don't take any offense to what my opinions are on your essay. Now first, aren't all essays supposed to have a thesis statement, and have smooth transitiopns between paragraphs. Now as to the actual content, you repeat yourself way too much saying that " Bill Gates is the most important man on earth," and " Bill is a very good computer programmer." Your quotes of him are also incorrect, and no sources are cited, according to MLA format it should be ' "Quote," (Author Page#). ' or ' "Quote" (Author ll line#). ' I am also having a hard time figuring out the structure of your paragraphs, and how you are transitioning between them. The transitions which I do see, seem to be not as smooth as they could be, and you start way too many sentences with "Bill Gates". That's my perspective as an english student.
As a computer geek this is also not very good of a topic because to me it just seems way to obvious and overdone. You don't go into very much detail on anything, and you refer to BASIC as a " programming code" when it is a programming language, language not code ( you WRITE CODE in a programming LANGUAGE).
Overall it's way too repetitive, seems to just sumarize the biography, even though I haven't read the biography I can almost say that for sure. Your grammar is atrocious, and makes the essay hard to follow. Maybe my standards are too high now though after spending 3 hours rating essays in my AP Lang and Comp class this past Tuesday, but I don't think that I would give this essay better than a C, and probably would give it a D or F if it was an 11th grade essay.

Consider the value of counter2 after the first time through the outer loop.

Ohhh I see it now, thank you very much I have it working now.

Ok I'm starting to learn C and I'm working with while statements. I'm trying to write a program that will let me enter an integer and then make a square out of asterisks with that integer I entered being the number of asterisks on a side.
Like if I enter 5 I should get this:
*****
*****
*****
*****
*****
Yea it's kind of a rectangle but lets call it a square lol.
This is what I have but it only prints one line of asterisks
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int side;
int counter1 = 1;
int counter2 = 1;
printf("Enter an integer: ");
scanf("%d", &side);
while(counter1 <= side) {
while(counter2 <= side) {
printf("*");
counter2++;
}
counter1++;
printf("\n");
}
printf("Enter 1 to quit");
scanf("%d", &side);
return 0;
}Thanks in advance.

Congratulations.

Well you spelled return wrong, I'm just starting to learn C so that's all I can help with though, but fix that and try running it.
Yea I just tested it with return fixed and it runs fine.
-
Lol, I've seen this before just can't remember where, except it was evil instead of problems but still funny.
-
The add is awesome I saw that thread over at G4 and checked it out, really nice job on it.

If you haven't seen people have been posting porn all over the place.
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Yeah I';ve wuit posting there for the time being because there doesn't seem to be anything interesting there anymore.
-
ok sure there's the flame wars for no real reason, and the trolls, the flagrant banning and demodding, thinking that we are so dumb as to swallow the tripe that they say, and my personal favorite, the hidden back alley politics behind everyones backs, but what really gets me mad is how the treat us as just numbers, just more statistics and nothing more. we're not people to them.
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
it really bothers me that the hard fought tech forum...with it's roots so carefully( if not perfectly) protected from the ttv days by diligent caretakers..both mods and contributors..were so easily thrashed and trashed..
you're right mac when you observed how shameful this event has been..
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I actually think G4 deserved what happened, because everything was fine and people just wanted to know what was going on it would have been nice if someone had taken the time to explain what was happening, well they've done that now, but it seems to late to amend anything that has already happened so many people are gone from there now that there's almost no reason to post there anymore.
-
I have decided to take a longer break from G4, as it is becoming a place where nothing interesting is being said at all. I can think of maybe 4 or 5 people who are not here who I will still keep in contact over at G4.
I hope that this place will suffice as a place where people go to ask questions, speak about the tech world, and even the world around them.
I hope I enjoy my time here.
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Yea I feel the same way, there just doesn't seem to be anything interesting left on the "call for help" board now.
-
It's just not the same back at G4 anymore now that so many people have gone, adn the admins aren't really helping the situation so I'm just a little angry at the whole situation, but what really pisses me off is that before today it was at least partly a nice community where anyone could go without having to look at so much language, and porn, I mean are you serious isn't G4's target audience supposed to be young teens then why the hell are they allowing porn on their forums that is just idioitic to me.
-
The T.S. board is "supposedly" being renamed "Call For Help" and staying. Doesn't change anything for me, I highly doubt I'll be back there after all this. The decision to rename feels (to me) like an attempt to make those who where mad and left look foolish. I stand by everything I've said.
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I also probably won't be posting as much there if at all because it's just not the same and I think that so many people left who won't be coming back that all the people who knew what they were talking about are gone so It just doesn't seem worth it to post there anymore to me.

Everything has been said already so this is just another endorsement for ubuntuI like Ubuntu, YMMV. It's not the best choice if you don't have a fully Linux compatible NIC.
In my experience (not the I have a ton), Ubuntu is better than most at detecting hardware...especially NICs and wireless NICs...but as TheLetterK said, YMMV.
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Yeah, if I had to choose one distro for a first time install Ubuntu would be it. It has a text based installer that is very simple to use. Like tictoc said it's very good at detecting hardware.
Happy choosing.
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I agree with this as well I installed Ubuntu on my laptop just a few days ago and almost everything just works, the only thing that I'm really concerned about even trying to get working right now is my wireless card, but the Ubuntu wiki has excellent documentation on how to set it up and the Ubunutu forums are also a nice place to go and get help.
-
umm maybe it's not closing after all... now called Call For Help
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Yeah it just changed to call for help a little bit ago, but it's not the same forum becasue most of the regulars are gone now and there's already a thread of porn, and the people here seem much friendlier than at g4 so I may become a regular member here after all.

I've heard this and seen this before, but it was the other way around, it has boyle's law the wrong way around too.
