Project Cars

Austin Healey Sprites are soapboxes. To small that US cars were to big. But fun to drive, I once had a MG B. Probably that's why I love the AC Cobra. I wouldn't want the Shelby GT500 though.

Project Cars

Yes and with the upcoming:

it should get fantastic...

Project Cars

Project Cars should be coming next month:


I'll get the steamos version. I already have shift2 on obsolete Windows, which is huge fun. I love the AC Cobra...but need a steering wheel compatible with X-Plane etc. flightsims.

RE: MY PC READ BELOW !!

yes but you cannot boot from. Attach to new pc to copy needed stuff, format and reinstall as many os as you want, for ex. Ubuntu.

RE: Help Required - computers

OpenSource




For me proprietary os are obsolete.

RE: Help Required - computers

All XP users should move to Ubuntu. Well you can run most of your XP apps with Wine.

RE: Help Required - computers

If you still use that obsolete M$ office, to avoid incompatibilities with older or other office apps, use ISO standardized OpenDocument Format *.odt etc. documents.

RE: Help Required - computers

you can set the boot priority of hds in you bios.

I have multiple hds each with multiple partitions to boot Ubuntu, win8 and osx86.

super easy fun .

PS: I've trashed M$ Office for Open-/Libreoffice.

US movies

Maybe I'm getting old or my TV.
A lot of newer movies have so loud music, that you can hardly understand what they're saying.
Both german or native english, but I need to verify this.

RE: WHY IN SOME MOBILES THE BATTERY IS NOT REMOVABLE ?

Same as for chinese socks. Once washed you need new ones...

RE: APPLE!what do u prefer to buy?

why spend more than ~$50-100 for a phone...

Linux anyone?

Stop feeding the troll, bye bye.

Linux anyone?

Yes, if it wouldn't be superior, I would not bother to use Ubuntu. But don't expect to understand everything quickly nor to not run across bugs. I even run my Windows apps on Linux perfectly. Try the live cd demo and different desktops (kde, gnome etc. with the synaptic package manager) and see it you like it before installing.

Linux anyone?

Complete nonsense. I use it for years and boot other os only to recompile stuff. Even a 14y. old can work on Linux after 2 weeks without problems. Bugs, sure there are enough, but have always a fix by simple googling for a minute.

What kind of teacher? For children on how to use word? I had to take a word course back in 98 and it was the dumbest course that I've ever taken. 90% of word's functions are useless and we got a 1000 page homebrewed manual by the instructor.- I'd have been much better with a little booklet...but I got the course payed. We got to know later that our teacher was a unemployed car mechanic...
Go spam other threads little Troll.

Bump

Linux anyone?

Again and for everybody. For me Windows is obsolete. Anybody not understanding what the lady is doing, sure don't try Linux as you will never ever understand it anyway.

Linux anyone?

+1 How true! A virus brought me to Linux back in 98.

@galrads: I use virtualbox

@rizlared: One minute copy&paste vs a 5minutes antivirus purchase.
If you don't like it, simply don't use it, bye, bye.

I use it mostly for Steam, X-Plane etc. Some links:

Linux anyone?

I've installed it on my brand new pc two weeks ago. 13.04 needed:

that should be fixed in 13.10. But I agree, if you're a complete newbie to computers, don't try Linux. So it's fine for everbody else...

Linux anyone?

I multiboot various os with default grub (comes with linux) So if you have enough space, let's say ~20GB for each os, simply install alike the video.
As I've said, nowadays there's no need to install any linux drivers, apart the graphical 3D drivers from Nvidia etc.
All your hardware should work out of the box, only some exotic hw might not work perfectly. (google or ubuntuforums.org will surely help)
For ex. my webcam only recently got fully supported, (move lens, zoom etc.) which is kind of luck as there are no more drivers for win8!-
But as demo you can simply select try instead of install after burning and booting from the Ubuntu CD. (or Mint but I don't see why that should be any better) You might need to change the boot sequence in the bios for booting from cd.

I also have a Win98 app that doesn't work in Win8 anymore but runs fine with Wine.

Linux anyone?

I'd stick to win7 and save $50.- or so...with win 8.1 you still need to install a hack to get win7 menu etc.

On Ubuntu you don't need to install any drivers. Plug your usb printer and it should work.

I would dualboot altough I hardly use windowz anymore. Simply install Ubuntu in 5min or so:


I'd put all on / except /swap which I have the same amount as RAM for
hibernating etc.

Linux anyone?

Munich switched to Linux:

RE: who are the coldest people in the world?

I often got surprised by germans that didn't help even seeing things. But I believe Indians to be worse..only think how they treat their women!
Cannot say about others...

Linux anyone?

Metro last light is huge fun to play.

Linux anyone?

Installed yesterday Mavericks and found Hands Off to be cool for blocking outgoing traffic (apple etc.). So, for keeping my passwords save, I found the link below for Linux:

RE: Has anyone actually ordered wine internationally?

I've once ordered by phone but since, every year in fall, I get harassed. Really annonying calls from Romania. I've told them that I'll never buy again but they keep bothering me several times each fall...
Also the quality is unknown when ordering by phone...never again.

Linux anyone?

Well, win8 is obsolete for me as not even my:
QuickCam® Sphere™ MP
works anymore. But I always use/dualboot it only when needed, since I lost all data back on Win98 through a virus. Also I happily await 8.1 as logout, those new tiles etc. are cr*. ( personal opinion )

256GB is not bad...I only have 16GB which is enough for a PC.

Linux anyone?

Games are coming as well, but I use Ubuntu for other reasons...

RE: Do you Believe that the US economy will collapse in 2013 or within a year?
