I finally got around to cleaning out the dust in my computer and wow, I can't believe what a difference it made. I didn't use any canned air, rubbing alcohol or arctic silver, just dry q-tips to take out the dust in the heatsink, which...

Ah how disappointing. My 5670 has been shutting off seemingly randomly over the past month until I checked the cpu temp and saw it kept approaching 80C. Right now, it generally sits at about 60C, but just 40 seconds of intense cpu...

It would be a toss up while I would wait for enough money to get an Apple. Seriously, from what I've heard, the Dell 8200's have tons of problems. I know 3 people that have them and they've all had to send them back for repairs. ...

Thanks for the info. I used to run 2.5 on my old comp and tried it on my shiny new Sager, and with the new scheduler and code to make the mouse more responsive there was a noticeable difference in X. Looks like I'll just patch the new...

Yes, but only because I regularly use both. If I didn't also type in qwerty occasionally I'd forget it. My speed before switching, in qwerty, was about 100wpm. It's gone down to about 60, but my dvorak speed is at around 100.

Technically, qwerty was designed to not get the keyboard stuck, but not by slowing typists down. The guy who made it looked at the mechanical linkages on his typewriter, and arranged the keys to reduce clashes. It sped people up for...

The reason for making the switch is because I'm a programmer and spend a large part of my day(life) on the keyboard. Qwerty isn't really an efficient keyboard design, it was just designed to work. Dvorak, otoh, was designed after...

I popped all the keys off my keyboard today and rearranged them to dvorak and got to wondering whether anyone sells these keyboards preconfigured for dvorak. Or maybe just a "u" and "h" key with bumps and...

Yes, it is possible to have a linux install on one HD and a windows install on another and just dual boot. I used to have that set up a while ago and would simply change what booted in the bios. As for developing your own GUI, it is...

Hi, I have a Sager NP5670 with the ATI mobility radeon 9000 working and am getting ~1600fps with glxgears. However, this is only under Linux 2.4.20 and when I tried Linux 2.5.69, X wouldn't boot up and gave some fglx errors. Has...
