I took my wife into the gated community of Apple a couple of weeks ago, purchasing a mid-range 2014 Mac Mini and iPad Air 2. We're looking at getting her an iPhone in the near future. Everything has gone relatively smoothly except the HD monitor refused to turn on when the computer woke up from...

I turned off the annoying audio in Avast as well. I like the fact that it checks for definition updates every four hours in addition to getting "streaming" updates (not the right term) from its database. Of course, this doesn't mean much if the detection engine and virus definition updates...

You're preaching to the choir. I have Slackware on my desktop and have been using Linux for the last five years or so. However, I have Windows 7 on my laptop and have always considered dual boot systems to be a waste of time and effort.

Last thread I saw on this was from 2010 . . . Which free antivirus do you feel does the best job with malware/virus protection, Avast, AVG, or MSE? Clean up is secondary to me as I feel the main priority should be to keep the boogers from getting in in the first place. I ask because I got a...

Can someone point me toward the right forum to post a "help wanted" sign in?

Thanks for the info. I didn't know eternal-september.org exited. Cox (my ISP) dropped Usenet a few years ago.

How many of you guys use Usenet? Do you feel it is worth the money with the advent of discussion forums, not to mention IRC?

The WattOSR4 live cd didn't exhibit the wireless problems that Lubuntu live did on my daughter's old Acer notebook. I haven't used LXDE much it looks like a nice low-resource desktop alternative. I've been on a Slackware kick lately and downloaded the LXDE version of Salix last night with the...

I've taken to using a CMS of some kind or another pretty much exclusively for simplified web site creation and maintenance. I primarily use WordPress but Drupal is great for allowing multiple users different levels of access to a site and has some options out of the box that require some coding...

Thank you for the recommendations.

How close is HTML5 to being supported in the major browsers, specifically IE?

In addition to PHP, Javascript, and SQL, which languages would you recommend to someone looking to become a professional web developer?

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Does anyone know why Dish chose to put WFGX HD on 61.5 when the rest of the HD channels for Mobile, AL are on 129?

consolidation After googling Vipre and checking out some reviews, I decided to uninstall my three ant-virus/spyware/malware apps and give Vipre a shot. The way it is advertised, Vipre seems to combine features of a good traditional anti-virus program, an anti-spyware program, and Threatfire...

Hey It's been about a year since this has been hashed out, so I thought I would bring it up again. I'm running Microsoft Security Essentials in conjunction with Threatfire and Malware Bytes on a 64-bit Windows 7 laptop. I haven't had any problems viruses but want to know other folks' opinions...

Debian Testing This is slightly off-topic but you might have fun trying Debian Testing Debian -- Debian-Installer I went with the net install option, deselected the desktop environment during install, and added xorg, gdm, xfce4, and xfce4-goodies after the install. This gives you a bare bones...

wireless networking and such The wireless issue could be a known bug that will be fixed in Mint's final release version. If you want to fool with it in the meantime, I have often found wicd to more stable than gnome network manager in Ubuntu. Wicd makes it really easy to set up a static ip...

Yes and no. It isn't one of Canonical's official versions of Ubuntu like Kubuntu, Xubuntu, or Edubuntu. The Linux Mint developers use Ubuntu as the base system and add their own modifications, such as a revamped version of the Gnome desktop, built-in parental control features, an update manager...

Linux Mint Mint is pretty slick. It has several features Ubuntu doesn't What's new in Linux Mint 8 Helena - Linux Mint I would wait for the new release, based on Ubuntu 10.04, if I were you, just to get the latest and greatest. It should be out in the next few weeks. Something to be aware of is...

I'm glad you're enjoying Ubuntu. Linux in general and Ubuntu in particular has gotten much better than it used to be when it comes to hardware detection. Ubuntu 10.04 automatically detects my desktop's aftermarket wireless card and doesn't have any trouble finding our wireless HP 4500 series...

In addition to Ubuntu, I'm a fan of openSUSE and CrunchBang Linux - A nimble Openbox Linux distro . Crunchbang is a very minimal distro, the current version of which is based on Ubuntu. The developers have moved to Debian as a base for the upcoming release, though.

Has anyone actually seen these channels yet?

I did. The kernel boot parameters in /boot/grub/menu.lst have to be edited to make the cooling fan work properly in my cheap Satellite L305-S5955. Grub2 made this a little difficult. I found out how to edit the corresponding file in Grub2 but I never got my cooling fan issues resolved to my...

I love Puppy. Version 4.3.1 was the first Puppy to properly detect my Satellite L305-S5955 wireless chipset.
