The new version of Ubuntu lets you enable Compiz Fusion with a click of a
button, but the older version of Ubuntu does not have this option and thus
you'll have to search from sites on how to do it. The instruction was pretty
straight forward and I don't have a problem with that. The only problem is the
dependencies of the codes that spread through out various links and when one
link is dead then it's back to sqaure one.
As I've mentioned to you, I can't run the newest version of Ubuntu due to
hardware compatibility issues as soon as I get that fix, then I'll give the new
Ubuntu another try.
And seriously you need to get your head out of the ground and take a look at
what's around you. To say hardware issues is for those with bleed-edge hardware
truly tells me how thick headed and ignorant you really are.
Why wouldn't Adobe designed their software to work on Ubuntu or other
distributions? The simple answer to that is there is no demand for them to do
so. Linux is not a user friendly OS compare to Windows and Mac. If enough
demands are there then you see Adobe creating a version specifically to run on a
linux platform.
Heck maybe they already have it locked away in a vault and ready to be released
once linux captures a chunk of the market.
And to stop wasting my time arguing with a person who thinks
apples, oranges, and bananas taste exactly the same.
These links supports my point. LINUX IS NOT READY FOR
MAINSTREAM!
To the OP I apologize that this way out of topic, but to create a topic of it's
own not only introduces flame war it will most likely be closed in a matter of
seconds.
Did I say linux was bad? Nope you thought I did because I said "cut this
linux crap".
It seems your the one that hasn't do any god damn research on how the business
model works.
Most people in the corporate world likes to get their jobs done and then get the
hell out. They don't have time to learn all of this. And since you like to do
coding then good for you but as I've mentioned in one of my previous post, Linux
is not ready for the mainstream. The average user is not ready for linux!
If linux has a centralized support (a place where people can call for help),
drivers and installations methods based on Windows or Mac, and it's user
friendly, then I'll be the first one to support linux all the way. As of now
that ain't going to happen until they decided think about the average
consumer.
Quote by ME I've ran linux before, Ubuntu
(also Suse and Sayabon) and in order for me to install a simple video card
driver requires that I have a Masters degree in spaghetti coding. And after 5
hours on the linux forums, wikis and other sources that might help me sort out
this issue, I say to myself fu8k it! Since I already got my 3D effects I don't
need a driver update.
Speaking of this 3D effect, linux lacks centralized support. In order for me to
enable Beryl (their name has changed to something else). I had to go through
loads of sites dependent from one another in order to make it work and if one
site is dead then it's back to square one. Not only that I had to do compiling
and other nonsense coding just to have my 3D effects.
In the end after spending hours and hours just to install 2 simple softwares. It
made me realized running linux is a waste of energy and time. And If I had
trouble doing these 2 simple things, then think about those that barely knows
how to operate a computer. What are they going to get? A heart attack, high
blood pressure or maybe sudden death?
Seriously if linux wants to capture the masses like Windows and Mac, then they
better have a centralized support, easy to install drivers, and make the entire
OS easy to use for everyone not just for those that knows spaghetti coding. If
they can't even fix these 3 simple flaws and get their ignorant minds (Linus
Torvald) to think about the average consumer, then all linux can do is to
continue to suck eggs.
Quote by IronSerpentI would suggest
you take a look into a good antivirus program, then.
AvastAV (found here) for pretty solid
all-around protection and real-time scanning, or Kaspersky (found here, if you are willing to spend
some money for even better protection).
I could give you a few more suggestions (including the best antivirus you can get) but something
tells me you aren't ready for behemoths and leviathans such as ClamAV or NOD32,
both of which are a bit more confusing and difficult compared to Avast and
Kaspersky).
AVG free is a good choice also.
As for "the best" antivirus... all OS including linux will and can get
viruses. The best way to protect yourself is by using common sense!
Also if you know how to use linux then good for you, but it does not mean the
mass majority will know how to use it. According to a mag I've read the editor
stated "linux assumes too much knowledge from the end user".
End user as in the regular consumer 99% of what the business relies on to make
MONEY,
not the 1% that knows linux coding. So cut this
linux crap!
If linux fixes their 3 key flaws, then I'm all happy to jump in.
While the new Macs are based on Intel processors it does not mean you can get
yourself a
legal copy of Mac OS X and install it, the software is still hardware tied.
Similar to a recovery disc, it first looks for that unique hardware, if it finds
it then it will continue if not then the process will halt. There is a way to do
it but since it involves violating MT's policy then it's best not to provide
links or sources on it.
As for running on a Multi-OS environment you can try VMs (virtual machines). Parallels Microsoft
Again that depends on what your planning to use it for. If your a frequent
traveler then you'll need something that's light and has a longer laster battery
life, but small machines comes at a price. The price to pay is they operate at a
slower speed because slower parts uses less energy and thus uses less battery
life.
Of course they are other things to factor in such as playing DVDs, screen
brightness, and wireless status activity.
The laptop to look for (if you really need it now), then will be based on a
Centrino Duo platform. "Centrino Duo" is just a platform made out of 3
components: A Intel based processor, A Intel based chipset and a Intel based
wireless network adapter.
But it does not mean by getting any laptop with a "Centrino Duo"
sticker indicates your getting the latest technology. To verify that you have
the latest you'll have to look into the specs when purchasing your
system.
The current Centrino Duo is based on the Santa Rosa plaform and that contains a
Intel processor based on the Merom Core. The FSB operating on that is 800fsb and
they are using the 65nm process.
If you can wait, then wait until the new Centrion Duo plaform arrives which also
contains a Intel based processor but instead of using the Merom core, it's based
on the Penryn architecture and it steams on the 1066 front side bus built on the
new 45nm process.
A machine to be fast really depends on the application that's code for it.
If you want the fastest speed today, then
go with a dual core like a
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400. The E8400 is buiilt on the new 45nm process, with high-K
technology, runs a 3GHz, has a 1333fsb and comes with 6mb of cache as compare to
a puny 4mb on the E6000 series.
If you want to future proof your system, then go with a quad core like the Intel
Core 2 Quad. The Q6600 is the older quad which runs at 2.4GHz, with 4mb of L2
cache and chungs alonge the 1066 Front side bus.
Since the E8400 is a dual core, but with the speed it operates with today's
applications the dual core will out perform a quad. When the time comes and
programers starts to take use of the additional 2 cores found on the quad then a
quad will surly beat the hell of a dual.
The new desktop based quads from Intel, the Q9000* series are not out yet but
they should be out soon. It all similar to the E8000 series except it has 12mb
of L2 cache twice of that for a dual core.
Most consumer boards these days can go up to 8gb, you'll have to take a look at
the specs to verify. In order to go up to 8gb you'll have to use a 64bit OS
where as a 32bit can only go up to 4gb.** Go with DDR2 for now as for DDR3 the
price is just ridiculous.
Gaming really depends on how far your willing to reach. For most people, a
single graphic card provides more than enough raw performace for most of today's
games. If you want to play in full details on a large screen monitor like a
24" up to 30 then you can opt for a 2nd graphic card, like Nvidia SLI or
AMD CrossFire.
Also game must be written to support a dual or triple graphic card setup
otherwise it will not take advantage of it.
The fastest performing card today is the 8800Ultra, but you have to pay a
premium just to have it. The best card for it's performace and money is the
8800gt with cost around $300USD and is faster than the old 8800gts that cost
around $450USD. There is a new 8800gts called the 8800gts G92 and it's faster
than the 8800gt. The new 8800gts G92 has pure video HD a hardware encoder that
was not present on the old 8800gts. This helps elimiate processor resource usage
when watching high-def movies like HD-DVD and Blu-Ray.***
* The Extreme Editon is not includes and the Q9300 only has 6mb of L2 cache as
compare to 12mb on the other new quads.
** A 32bit OS only support up to 4gb, but with its roof limit you may see less
than that. On some systems you see 3.2gb or even less as low as 2GB.
*** According to articles around the web Toshiba has decided to pull the plug on
their HD-DVD format. So it look like Sony's Blu-Ray is the next gen
format.]
As for the Phenom, they got serious issues so I wouldn't recommend that.
For SLI or CrossFire you must have a board that support it. Also they are not
compatible with each other.
Quote by SuperGrouperVista didn't
function for me until I installed FOUR GIGABYTES of memory- and this was on a
brand new laptop with a core 2 duo processor. Hordes of users are fleeing to
Linux to escape Vista, which is actually a downgrade from
XP.
Your comment is so full of BS! Have you ever thought of all the
"bloatwares" they installed which makes it slow? Maybe you can try
uninstalling those first before bashing an OS whether it's a Mac or
Windows.
2nd, Vista does not need 4gb of ram just to run, all it need is 1GB minimum and
at least 2GB if you want a better experience and better response time. Have 4gb
in order to run is pure nonsense!
3rd, what's with this linux crap? All you idiots out there that support linux as
if it was a God can never give valid reasons why to make the switch from a
Windows or a Mac based machine to a free open source platform.

pathetic and a disgrace not only to Windows and Mac users, but to the linux
community as a whole.
During this years Intel CES keynote, they mentioned about a music service called
"eJamming" that lets musicians
share their pieces of work online. Not only that but you can also collaborate
with other musicians and together create a new song or piece of music. And with
the backbone this site is running on, there is little or no latency at all, so
even if all of you are located at different parts of the world, this site brings
you all together as if your all playing in one room.

Create a shortcut on your desktop.
Right click and select properties.
Click the compability tab and then enable compatiblity mode with
Windows XP SP2. Also enable "run this program as Administrator". Click
Apply and OK.
Now Go back to compatiblity mode again and click on
"Show setting for all Users" and do the same thing
After when your done, restart and launch the program and see if it works.
To find out why your Adobe Photoshop program is not launching, you can try the

Click on the start orb and head over to computer.
Right click on "Computer" and click "Manage".

expand "system tools">>"event

Click on either the "Application" or "Setup" categories and
scroll through the list of events that you
have done with your system. Look for the error icon and see if you find anything
related with adobe.
If you see it click on it and look at the event ID.
Go to www.eventid.net and type in the ID
that's provided to you.
Now see if there is any fix to the problem your having.
Before you go this route try Kuromisa's method first, try reinstalling.
And providing the version your using will sure help a lot.
Instead of using a enclosure you can go with a HD to USB adapter.
The adapter supports both SATA/IDE HDs including notebook HDs as well as
optical drives.
