    Laptop budget $1500 - Non gaming

    I haven't used mesh wifi before but I'm old school and feel that no matter what, you're going to come out with inferior results compared to hardwired access points and would recommend that if it's at all feasible.

    Computer Upgrades for a low budget

    You'd have to do some case modding to allow a laptop to mount in a desktop case, if you did it, you'd still be stuck with the problem that laptops have inputs/outputs on 2-4 sides usually and won't orient them for use in the case. Beyond that, it will not actually allow you to really connect...

    How to get windows to recognize second hard drive

    Looks like a pretty old thread but, nonetheless.... If you wanted the data on it, you'll need to recover the partition. Some Linux tools are pretty good for this, you can run them on an Ubuntu (or other system) live drive without installing linux. You'll need a ~4-8GB flash drive you can erase...

    Unusually noisy computer

    Being Pentium 4 era, I'd always attribute a noisy computer that's unstable to overheating. You probably need to ensure that the CPU cooler is clean, powered and apply new thermal interface material between it and the CPU.

    Ubuntu 12.10 or Linux Mint 14?

    I'm in love with Mint and the Cinnamon desktop. I'm a long time Debian and Ubuntu fan and it's won me over.

    Why I think Ubuntu 12.10 Sucks

    Taylor, are you a first time linux user? I've been using variants of Debian since ~2003-04 (which Ubuntu is based on), once you're familiar with the function of the operating system I find it to be easier in a number of ways. Certainly there's stumbling blocks in converting as a long time user...

    Election 2012

    England...an undeveloped country? I'll have some of what you're smoking. Compare yourself with this: Least developed country - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia You'll actually find the UK on this page: Developed country - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Regarding Obama care, I can understand...

    What You've Just Bought!

    Re: The What You've just Bought thread! I picked up Assassin's Creed 3 for XB360 and AC3 Liberation for Vita. Both are great games but I've encountered quite a number of bugs and in the case of Liberation this has severely dulled the experience :(. My Vita save has tanked on me leaving me no...

    wine?

    Open up a terminal (with Cinnamon press Windows key, type "term" and it should find it), type: sudo apt-get install wine And hit enter, follow the prompts. Once you've got wine installed it should integrate nicely with the GUI and you can double click a *.exe or *.msi file and it should open...

    LOL. Wrong image used by huge retailer when promoting windows 8

    Harper, what makes you say it's wrong? I daresay this is deliberately tongue in cheek by them. Harvey Norman have shown themselves to have a sense of humour in the past.

    What You've Just Bought!

    Re: The What You've just Bought thread! Yeah, I aimed for something solid and midrange as opposed to my attitude with guitars where I bought a lot of junk. Haven't put much of a constructive effort in yet to learn it, mostly messing around with slapping.

    Election 2012

    Sports fans, that's a great analogy that I agree with. It's similar in politics over here but I'd say with a bit less fanaticism than I see (at least from the news that makes it here) than the US. At the end of the day unless a state is broken the role of a government is to keep the status quo...

    What you rather have? Only One is permited?

    #1, no contest. You might also want to consider that we do have members of TF that at least claim to be female though I have not been present to verify in person ;).
