If I were to do something, I'd focus on price/quality as opposed to volume

Absolutely. I love these games, but the instruments are complete shit. I have never once even had a drum set for these games that could handle the input fast/reliable enough for the hardcore levels. The buttons on the guitars are so far apart as if they were made to be used by Sasquatch.

These folks has some busted RAM, but all is good because it's ECC

How will this work for the likes of Tracfone and subsidiaries? There is never really a debt to begin with.

Wow. Senators have never lied or been flat out ignorant when testifying before congress /s

At least you will get an actual accelerated video driver instead of framebuffered X

Right, and a planet full of Hulks would kill itself off, supporting the gamma ray hypothesis.

Hulk is invincible

AVG is a Freemium minefield. May as well be WeatherBug. Serves a purpose, but ultimately adware

Eventually I fired up a Windows machine and did it in about five minutes with some commercial trial-ware that nagged me with ads when I installed it.

The reason being that Windows is more than an OS and a collection of predictable platforms. A video on Windows is a video, accessed through the appropriate API. You don't dynamically link to half a dozen libraries, hope they are there, and crash (or demand installation) when it isn't. You install the codec and now everything can deal with it.

This is ultimately the problem with linux. There is no defined platforms anywhere. Software that wants to use anything can't ever guarantee that it will be there. They aren't part of the OS, but rather, part of the users defined installation.

My youngests computer died, and I ended up replacing it with a Biostar A68N-5000. It was $70 shipped. It is fanless and draws very little power. I imagine this is just a further iteration of the technology.

GTK actually has lots of good widgets for 'data' not sure what that means exactly

It means he wants databound controls. As in, widgets that update themselves when the dataset changes and changes the dataset when the widget is manipulated

It is only so good as I can cancel at anytime. Else, it is the same Dish that I would get at the same price I would pay for actually having it via satellite (with a 2 year contract).

Can't bulk and cut at the same time.... now maybe you can

The best I can find as to when is at night, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. As to where, look at the constellation Gemini.

The nvidia failures were due to the chip solder points coming loose. It has zilch to do with the chip and everything to do with the manufacturing of the system
