Sorry, I'm crap with linux but ime anything I have ever heard of, re: stuff not working correctly has been limited driver support for linux. Dell/HP for example modify a lot of the original drivers to suit their machines anyway for windows. Most of the time when I use linux is just an ubuntu boot cd to bypass security/permisions and/or recover whatever I can from a wonky hdd.
You should try and look at getting an invite to a torrent group serious plus if you can speed wise.
As for RS/Newsgroups you will have tons of opinions here for it.
Is it handy enough to recover stuff from a busted laptop/desktop with a live CD? Never done it but could be handy thou.
Ubuntu is running pretty sweet for me just a small issue with video, bugging me when im watching something and its a little choppy

Im all for Christmas like getting in the spirit of it but come on people its getting ridiculous doing stuff like that so early, I could probably forgive them if it was at least into December!
As for recovering files it comes down to how fucked up your hdd is basically. There are a plethora of programs for recovering info and regenerating bad sectors, etc. Usually if I fancy a drive as busto I will boot off Hiren's boot cd, run some of the HDD tools and see what I can find out about it's health. If I hook up the drive externally to another machine (windows) and it is particularly dodge, invariably it will crash explorer, not install drivers for itself or give crc errors etc when transferring - that is after you apply all the appropriate ownerships to the respective files you require which can take a bit of time. Simply leaving the hdd in the machine and booting off an ubuntu disk and having an ext hdd to save to, it will skip/ignore some bad files or notify you when to skip files. Also you do not have worry about security permissions/ownerships of files. FWIW, if I will try to recover what I can first before I try anything like HDD regenerator or such programs and then afterwards for consolidation. We usually get the usual, my college thesis was there they told me to back it up or baby photos etc when the hdd is goosed, Murphy's law.
The moral of the story is back it to fuck up if it is important to you as EVERY HARD DRIVE WILL FUCK UP EVENTUALLY, they are a mechanical part. I have a mate who is a semi pro photographer, always has minimum of 3 backups of each shot including online otherwise well he ain't gonna be much of a photographer without photos, like the dog who ate my homework/pencil.Last edited by coillcam; 15-11-10, 22:01.

Anybody here use dropbox?
Just downloaded it, looks like a pretty cool piece of kit. Basically allows you to upload files onto a "cloud" so that you can share and access them from anywhere.
Kind of like a easily accessible rapidshare of sorts.
Anyway if anyone wants to try it out, if you use this link you get an extra 250mb storage free (so do I)Double-decker bus enthusiast

Even .mkv files were a breeze, we are talking 1.73GHz centrino single core from 05' with 1gb ram + int graphics. Maybe a different player will be better suited like Media Player Classic(it used way less resources than VLC for me in xp) or maybe there are is an optimized group of settings that can be applied to VLC to get it tuned up properly for Linux.

My graphics card wouldnt be the best I would imagine remember was having serious trouble with it for a long time with Vista it just hung all the time and crashed my system out
But im guessing after awhile with some of the updates that came out that ATI finally got around to addressing the problem.
It would run super sweet on my Windows 7 system and no display problems at all. What I eventually want is just to migrate over to an iMac when I run into some serious money or get back to some winning in poker, so for now I dont want to be putting money into my system ie upgrading to 4gb ram + new graphics card.
The reason why I was asking about data retrival, was working on a friends laptop the other day, she seriously hadnt dont anything to it in ages and was full of redundant crap/slow as fuck/full of trojans, malware, virus got that all cleaned up and then boom blue screened on me.
Wouldnt have all the tools to do certain stuff but can do a bit, she managed to just get all her pics off and stuff so gonna format it for her just so its some kind of laptop again.

The one thing is that I don't think one direction actually need to win the show to be successful, the brutal JLS from last night are living proof. As good as he is I think Matt probably needs that extra push and I can see him winning.
One direction have potential to be massive though.We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then is not an act, but a habit.

Also would expect that Simon had the idea to come out of this with a very young boy band before the auditions had even begun. massive gap in the market, and perfect opportunity to handpick a band and promote them heavily.http://mobro.co/zuroph

Originally posted by Zuroph View Postagain agreed, but if they're genuine about the votes, then what can they do?
It's all smelling a little too contrived for me at this stage and I don't believe their's anything 'fair' about it. They can get any three they want to the final.
I may be a little too suspicious of course but it's just the way it looks to me.
Matt wins and one direction finish runners up = maximum $ !
Edit: Can't be forgetting about Rebecca either, stone wall for the top 3 imo!Last edited by dannydiamond; 16-11-10, 00:14.We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then is not an act, but a habit.

Kind of thinking One direction or Rebecca = 1st or 2nd and Matt a more likely 2nd/3rd.
Thing that I can't work out is what is best for Cowell and co, would they prefer one direction to win or would that tie them to a certain contract and obligations when they'd prefer to do something else with them.
One Direction could be very big. If I were going to put more loot on, I'd probably go for them.
Ido.

This evening they were asking about the guy that's still alive and were delighted when I showed them a youtube of Paul Mc with Michael Jackson( joke at your peril ).
On to the point anyway, they loved this and it brought back happy memories from my childhood.
I commented to my wife that if this were to be revamped as a charity single, it could be a potential christmas no 1. He tried before but was up against the live aid tune and Whams 'last christmas', not a fkin hope he was winning that battle.
