Ok, so at the end of last year, when my science teacher couldn't be bothered even attempting to teach, he showed us a video, which was recorded in 1993. I can't remember the name of the show, but it was one of the ones that covers...

TheNightFox Wow... I wasn't expecting a reply... I haven't been on in a long time... That's exactly what I was looking for, just a few years late. Thanks man, good to know the name of it finally.

I recently purchased a 1.5TB external HDD, but while copying files I found that it couldn't hold files larger then 4 gigs because it was FAT32. I converted it to NTFS, only to find the next day that I couldn't use it on my Linux...

TheNightFox This should be my final response to you... Don't know what happened, but my laptop is now reading the external. It's still NTFS. I don't know how that works, but it does. Thanks a lot.

TheNightFox I just looked it up then, apparently most Linux distributions have the NTFS-3G driver installed on them. I don't know why mine doesn't, but I'm going to see if I can get it.

TheNightFox I just looked it up on Wikipedia, it's not compatible with Vista. Thanks anyway.

TheNightFox I just tried that and it said that convert is not available for NTFS drives. I also spent 18 hours yesterday having cmd formatting it, and it was supposed to convert it too, but when it finally got to 100%, it said this drive is too big for FAT32, which is...

When I bought my EEE about a year ago, I received the install disk for XP, however the EEE doesn't have a CD drive. I hadn't planned on installing XP because I wanted to try Linux, and XP would take up valuable system space. Not...

TheNightFox Thanks for the response, but I'd prefer not to buy a CD drive. I know the sort you're talking about, but I'd rather not spend any extra money.

Let's say we do a bit of investing, say PTC's. Neobux with an ultimate membership + 4,299 refs can make you 400$ pure profit per month. Upbux is still a new site. Genius funds from the views does pay, but still...

TheNightFox Really? Wow. Well, if what you're saying is true, I'll quit Bux. I won't need it if my next business venture succeeds.

TheNightFox Thanks a lot. You're right, nothing is free. What I had hoped for would be a website that could take a (small) percentage of every sale, thus we both make money, similar to what PayPal does.

TheNightFox "the travesty that the Yanks have inflicted on grammar and spelling" Heh. I concur. Yeah, I have known people not to know which word to use in spell check. However, usually it doesn't really matter which "brand" of English the person types in if they type...

TheNightFox You're right, as I have said before, grammatical errors can be ignored. They do not annoy me as much as other things, I just always notice them.

TheNightFox I can see that. That reminds me of when a few years ago there was a debate about whether text language should be allowed to be used in science papers, the rationale being that the people taking them may not specialize in English, so forcing them to attempt to...

TheNightFox That's true. It annoys me only when people do it correctly, but are just lazy. If it is genuinely that they cannot spell it correctly, then it is justified.
