I'm no guru. But a thought popped into my head. Could this be a permissions issue? I wrote a php script to select mp3 files at random and rename them with a number at the beginning of the name. (My player has the habit of selecting the same 20 or so songs, out of 800+ when set to random). I...

Over a year ago, I decided to add a firewall to my network at home. As I had no experience with stand alone (so to speak) firewalls, such as pfSense, I decided to get a cheap PC to try it out on. I purchased a little 3.5" cube mini pc from Amazon for about $100. Well, it's been doing it's...

I don't recall. Was he managing at the time? If he was, I can see your point. Edit: I did a little reading on the subject this morning to refresh my memory. So, no need to answer my question above. But that got me to thinking. Rose and Commissioner Giamatti agreed on a "lifetime" ban. And...

I agree. The MLB (and practically every pro sports org in the US) makes a killing from sports betting these days. They should, IMO, drop the ban and allow Mr. Hustle his rightful place in the HOF. Especially considering there was never any evidence (that I'm aware of) that suggested he bet on...

Nobody but you can make those decisions. Do you want to duel boot (have whatever Windows version of the 2 you mentioned AND a Linux distro available on the same pc)?? Or a Linux only pc? As for what method to install, either works fine. Although, a bootable DVD worked easier for me on one of...

Fingers crossed it works for a lengthy time period. Years would be good.

Good job fellas. I was a mod on a forum more than 15 years ago or so. At times, I hated turning on my PC because I just knew I would end up spending 2 hours clearing all the spam out. It amazed me the lengths people would go through to post a link to whatever. We customized the site script so...

If you are confused at all about the term "live" being tossed around (as I was not too long ago), it's a way for you to try out most(?) distros without actually installing them on your computer. It will generally run faster after install though. Try a few and see what you like. Have a look...

I'll take Linux over MS every day. Neither are anywhere near 100% secure. I believe Linux to be more secure though. If for no other reason than there isn't 1,000,000,000,000,000+/- viri written for it. That said, neither one is more secure than the person sitting at the keyboard.

Here in the states, there is federal funding set up to get high speed internet into rural areas. I don't recall if it was Obama or Trump that got it started. The house I grew up in was at the end of 1.5 mile long gravel road. My brother still lives there today. It wasn't until about 15 years...

I have a newer build but not using Invidia. The Mint Virginia version that @The Duck mentioned fixed the issues I was having. If all else fails, give it a shot.

Any hair metal fans in here? This a fairly new song by Sebastian Bach of Skid Row fame. It amazes me how good he sounds 30+ years later!

I've been busy with life in general and haven't had mine on in a few months. Updated it over the weekend and was over 150. Haven't made the switch to the latest version yet. Going to give them a few months to work out the kinks.

For me, it's sort of like @Brickwizard said. It's not that Mint is "like" winblows. It's just that it has a winblows "feel" to it. A nice looking UI and most things a novice user will need are easy to find.

Funny is funny. Doesn't matter where you're from. And that's funny!

You had a much longer run than most people could have kept up. Definitely something to be proud of. Take your time.

@KGIII has a very good resource that I consult regularly. https://linux-tips.us/

It does. Not sure what race has to do with anything in this thread though. Well, other than the foot races anyway.

I used to watch the games. Not anymore though. I'll leave it at that.

Have you tested that like a teenage boy and actually tried to find that stuff? Or do you just not see it in your regular day to day use?
