praetorian1026 sorry, I forgot to mention, you should be connected to the Internet when you perform those steps. Also, when you type gksu synaptic, it will ask you for your password, it's your login password.

praetorian1026 I agree with ranacseruet, a work at home gig is worth trying. I'll add Rentacoder to the recommendation, I've done some work there, and got paid. It's not only for programmers, some of my paid work were writing gigs (technical writing that is), they actually...

Do you buy bookmarks (the nice hallmark ones) , or do you just cut out any piece of spare cardboard or carton around the house for your bookmarks. If you do buy bookmarks, how much are you willing to pay for them. Thanks....

praetorian1026 Are you referring to the thick magnetic ones, I think I've seen some of those, really neat designs, the last one I saw had Celtic designs in it. I bought a book last weekend, couldn't find a bookmark around my workstation, so I used a thin paper clip. Thanks...

praetorian1026 I use the post-it notes too, not as bookmarks though -- I use it to mark milestone dates on my work diary/calendar, I am still a bit old-school on organization, inspite of blackberry and google calendar, I still use paper and pencil technique for todo list and...

praetorian1026 Wow, that's really cool. I'd like your job -- but I am not so lucky , I got to write too -- but I wrote software codes, not very poetic. Thanks for sharing.

praetorian1026 That's a bit steep for a bookmark, but I like the idea of photos as bookmarks -- there's a personal touch. Thanks for that

praetorian1026 I actually do that too, sometimes I use tee shirt tags, or what ever nice cardboard-like materials I can find around the house. Thanks for that.

I need help. My CPU at home suddenly shuts down for no apparent reason. To isolate the issue, it's not a Sasser or Blasterworm virus. It just shuts down in the middle of something like for example, if I turn it on and wait for...

praetorian1026 I agree with Kumaresan, I'd start with the power supply. The time constant of the shutdown is pretty uniform (5-10 mins) after powering up, there is a good chance that the PSU is shot, and needs replacement. It is possible that the components (like Video...

praetorian1026 hi, i'm guessing that you're using Ubuntu 8.10, when you boot up and login, look at the menu bar to the right-most corner, there are a couple of icons. if you hover your mouse long enough on the icons, the tool tip will say "enable restricted drivers". You...
