This sounds like some sort of accessibility feature is enabled(perhaps stickykeys or something). If you are using windows, open the accessibility control panel and turn off everything you don't need.

Does the cutter speak HPGL? If so, then you are in luck. Most vector-based drawing programs(such as inkscape) as well as most cad programs(such as qcad) allow saving as HPGL. Then it's just a matter of sending the HPGL file to your plotter: cat foo.hgpl > /dev/ttyS0 or whatever your cutter...

So basically you're trying to avoid being busted for plagiarism? I've never heard of a program that will do that for you. And I doubt any such program will be sufficiently advanced so as to not be extremely easily detected by anyone who reads the output. But good luck in your search. :)

Why? Ethernet is full duplex.

All USB cables are equal(quality issues aside). Color is just color.

Big chain stores like BB and CC tend to not throw out anything worthwhile. Possibly. Chances of anything happening are quite slim, though. Firstly, the store probably doesn't own the dumpster; thusly, anything placed in the dumpster is technically property of the garbage collection company...

Asking doesn't help anyone when the whole forum is filled with requests rather than actual deals. That's why it's against the rules.

huh? Have you seen the prices items tend to go for on ebay? Pretty close to what they are worth. There isn't some magical retailer out there who sells stuff considerably cheaper than everyone else. If there was, then wouldn't everyone be shopping there already?

Non-contiguous disk usage is not an error.

You missed his point. If all you are doing is running an OS inside vmware, why not just run that OS directly?

I think his confusion is a result of your speed test results being considerably higher than what a T1 should be. What is your actual connection?

Are you serious? Check the title of the post you quoted. ;)

Check out gparted. You'll probably be interested in the livecd. But if you just want to create a partition in the empty space then you can just use the windows disk management control panel.

http://limestone.truman.edu/~dbindner/guide/main.html That is a guide that a couple professors at my old university wrote. Probably not the best, and it isn't comprehensive, but it's a good starting point to get an idea of how to do things. Some of it is Truman-specific, but you can ignore...

Because xmms works and I don't need 90% of the features amarok has.

Our trouble? Exactly how much trouble did you experience? It was pretty obvious the page deal was bogus.

Making an offtopic post in response to a closed thread isn't exactly wise. ;)

Wrong window? :p

I really have no use for this, but it's almost too hard to pass up. Are there any good motherboard deals to go with this?

If you are willing to click on something to enable quick reply, why can't you just click on 'post reply'? :confused:

I have a buddy who got a pretty good deal on a motherboard/cpu combo a few months ago and he got all his rebates. The deal was up for a few weeks at least, so I assume quite a few people got in on it. It's a pretty big stretch to say that every decent TD deal is bad. I've seen plenty of good...

What does that even mean? There have been plenty of good TD deals posted here. Have you actually attempted to get any of them?

I know xmms is unmaintained, but I've been using it for years and it does exactly what I need. Yeah, audacious and bmp are better, but I still like xmms.

I've taken some programming languages and compilers courses, so I know a little bit about the subjet. My big suggestion is to completely fully specify your language before you start coding anything. If you halfway define it and then kinda fill in the rest as you go, then your language will...

Why is this in OSes? :confused: Are the crashes reproduceable? Do they only occur under certain circumstances? If so, it would probably be helpful to file a bug report. If not, then it'll be pretty hard to help. Also, what type of "crashing" are you talking about? Are you getting any...

Thank god. :p Well then wouldn't this be wlwc?

You can't seriously think that's real.

You really had to bump this again a month later just to say that? :rolleyes:

I don't think anyone is arguing against user feedback. That's part of what makes software better. Rather, we're arguing against complaining and the general attitude of "I don't like the way it works/the way it looks/etc., so it sucks". Yes, complaining is a form of feedback, but there are...

Overclockers Comparison Page.

Ubuntu has security update notification enabled by default. There is a tray icon and a box pops up asking the user if he wants to update whenever updates are available. The open source graphics drivers provided by default work well enough for most people(the kind of people who run 800x600). I...

mplayer has some very active mailing lists, as well as a couple official irc channels. http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/mailing_lists.html

I'm not going to turn this into another windows vs linux thread, but I have some issues with this post. Familiarity should not be a factor in usability. If it was then every new program would be unusable. As I mentioned above, linux is different and like anything else, it will take a bit of...

Validation is not the same as error detection. Validation is simply making sure the packet looks like what it should look like. You could have a valid packet with a garbage payload. Besides, are you just going to pick some arbitrary error detection/correction scheme and try to apply it to the...

It sounds like you want linux to be windows. It's not. Things are different. mplayer is one of the most mature, full-featured media players ever. It's a very powerful program, but you have to learn how to use it. It isn't a shitty program just because you aren't used to it. And I'd wager...

If I answer this, does this mean I get the job? :p I don't understand where the confusion is. If you know the format of a valid packet, then that's how you validate the packets. Error handling is just the usual stuff. Be sure to cover all your bases. No offense, but this is like first...

The asciiomatic will do it. There is also jitac, but I've not used that one.

All the real linux geeks hang out in the linux forum, where this has already been discussed. ;) http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1108784

You don't need to buy a new keyboard. Just change your layout in your operation system. And you shouldn't be looking at your keys anyway. :p The fact that a vast majority of computer users use qwerty is indeed an issue. If you find yourself working on several different systems, then...

Yeah that's what I was trying to say above - it's more efficient but not necessarily faster. It took probably a couple weeks to learn it(with a training program) well enough to use it, and probably another couple weeks to get up to a decent speed with it. Dvorak didn't really affect my...
