RE: How to set up a dual boot on a thinkpad

Sorry, I'm late to the party, but I will give my results using a winXP Lenovo ThinkPad T410. I had to shut down windows, NOT hibernate it. Then I simply booted from the linux cd (Mint or Ubuntu, IIRC), apt-got gparted, ran gparted and resized, and off I went. I assume you started by shutting dow

RE: Meet up for Django (and Python) web developers

What a first meet up should cover? Hmm. Well, I started as a total newbie to Python and Django about a month ago. (Been programming/software_engineering/etc for MANY years. Not a lot of HTML though) Now I've got 2 apps working, one a database query system, one a lunch voting system ("where

RE: Workstation Power Cord

Wow! $20 for a power cable??? Ouch! (I just finished a google search. That's one "interesting" connector...) I think either go with Brian's idea or see if you can replace the socket on the power supply with something a little easier to hook to... Shoot, or replace the whole power supply! Yo

Or exchanged in the VI parking lot... (which is probably the best idea) Wish I thought I could make it, I'd go for the Plextor tower, any unwanted SCSI cards, and maybe a laptop (to be turned into my web server). Actually, I'd probably go for a laptop first, since my 2 old laptops are being obs

gnuradio, sdr, DAB USB dongles, and so forth?

RE: gnuradio, sdr, DAB USB dongles, and so forth?

DAB USB dongles, and so forth? Sounds interesting, but if it won't work with U.S. digital tv, how would you test it? Wouldn't it only be useful overseas? On 01/23/2013 08:13 AM, Carruth, Rusty wrote: So, has anyone here been playing with SDR? Specifically I

RE: gnuradio, sdr, DAB USB dongles, and so forth?

anyone not a ham who uses terms as narrowband fm or wideband fm, psk and so on. The only problem I could think of would be the computer generating interference with whatever you're trying to receive. Derek On 01/23/2013 11:50 AM, Carruth, Rusty wrote: Actually, the software on your p

RE: Upgrade to Debian testing hosed my system

If you hit control-alt-F1 (or F2 or ... all the way to F6) do you see anything? What happens on the monitor while you boot? I've seen cases (personally) where an install decides the monitor can do more than it can (and I think I had an upgrade do that once also), leaving you with a dead mon
