Answerer

My trusty ASUS K55VM-- Almost 2 years old now-- Has a dualboot with Linux Fedora 16 and Windows 7. But last time when it was on Windows (which was about 15 minutes ago) and when I woke it up, the display didn't come on-- then I noticed that only the bulb (power) and NumLock indicator lights are on, and the power light are on. There's a black screen, not even GRUB (Bootloader) is not loading (The disk light is off but I still hear it whirring). The CD drive is not opening either.

Please help!

I'm getting a dog in October, after 6 years of waiting and hoping. I thought this would remain a fantasy till I grew up, and yes, I'm under 18 years of age.

I've talked to many dog owners and enthusiasts that I know and I've heard all the problems (and solutions) and precautions to take, and am ready to get a dog.

So I've looked into everything and <blush> formed a pledge </blush> and all, and my parents are also happy about this.

The only problem left is the breed. I've been doing vigorous research for about 1 month, and really want a lab and see that it suits our lifestyle and has the qualities I want. The problem is, they're an expensive affair to maintain over a long course of time and they grow BIG, and we plan to take him/her to a lot of places. If you can suggest another breed or can find a solution to these problems please answer.

Wait a minute, don't just skip to the answer section. There's more. It turns out, we're getting it in early October, and in December, during the holiday vacations (that expression doesn't seem legit) we're going to my cousins, by FLIGHT and are not sure if a 2 month old puppy (well, 3, considering it's probably gonna be about 4 weeks old when we adopt it) will cope very well with that. I don't even know if dogs are allowed on interstate flights (will look into that later myself), though a distant cousin of mine is getting a dog herself and is willing to keep it while we're gone for 4 days, but I still think 2 months (with us) is a bit too tender. Please help here, too.

If this has been too overwhelming, I'll take the courtesy to have a summary here:

1) Getting a dog, want a lab, but may be too big, need a solution for this or another breed

2) Whatever breed I take, we're going out by flight in Dec and I think 2 months of age is too tender to either take with us or leave with a cousin who's willing to keep him/her.

Hello, I am a new YouTuber looking for opportunities. I'm making minecraft and club penguin videos, my channel is youtube.com/AviSpinNetwork (my website being avispin.com).

So my question is, when I make a video and edit it using iMovie, it doesn't work (it says it'll be done in a few minutes to hours until the video processes and shows up on YT's end but never actually happens) to upload it from the software itself so I upload via the website itself, for which I need to export it. But when I export it the quality is is so dead awful, it's hard to tell what the hell is even going on. Is there a way to help this? Because this is pretty desperate. I'm not willing to change to another editor. Also, since I'm a half partner (haven't provided my phone number for monetisation yet) I would like to upload a thumbnail, which doesn't work from the iMovie upload thing, and when I do it from my manager itself it never works.

Thank you for your time.

I've been using Paint.NET (With my Wacom Bamboo tablet) for 2-3 years and I've been able to make really good graphics, speedarts etc with it after these years of practise and tutorials. So I decided to take it to the next level by buying photoshop. I'm doing the evaluation trial right now and I'm having a bit of trouble with figuring out how to go about it. If anyone could help me with this migration or link to a video/blog it would be appreciated.

(Note: As I mentioned before I do speedarts, text effects, customs, design elements etc. and have a Wacom tablet)

Hello, and thank you very much for your time-- this is very important to me! Just a few minutes ago this morning my PREMIUM account got hacked-- I lost all control over my account. Luckily I canceled the subscription so the hacker will not get a premium account just for free, but I managed to gain access back to it using my email, so I believe I'm safe for now. But I'm under 18 so don't have a job and if I buy Minecraft premium again with my own allowance I'll be broke, and I'm trying to save up for a gift for someone. I would appreciate help/advice on what to do, or even a gift code (but it's okay if you don't have one to spare) would be really really epic.

Please note that I will NOT use any g/c generators.

Once again, thanks a million for your time.

Hi all, I've been trying hard to resurrect an old PC that was just sitting around. It's a Dell Latitude D620 which is nearing the decade which served me well during the mid 2000s. The CD drive is broken (or at least it can't read the Linux Ubuntu 10.04 I've put in it) so the only option I have is to make a bootable USB key. I'm using a Mac to do this and I've followed many tutorials but every time I try it out it says there's no boot sector. I've done this before with Fedora but for some reason (it's even the same key) it's not working with Ubuntu (10.04 because it's an old computer). I've tried:

Doing it the way that's listed on Ubuntu's guide

Doing it the way I did it with Fedora

Doing the first two ways with a different iso

Repeating the previous way

Doing /dev/diskN during dd instead of /dev/rdiskN (replace N with the disk)

And some other ways which I forgot.

All have the same result: No boot sector.

Please help! Also, if there's a better distro out there for this computer (apart from Xubuntu, Lubuntu-- as they probably will have the same error if it's distro-related--, Crunchbang and Puppylinux).

Hi, today I tried starting my almost 10 year old Dell Latitude D620 (which runs Windows 7 dual-booted with Linux OpenSUSE 12.1) but it fails in both OSes-

Windows: Runs CHDSK on first boot, and fails all the other times I attempt to boot; it flashes a blue screen of death for a very small amount of time (not even enough for me to read) and then starts from the beginning if I select "Start Windows Normally". If I choose "Launch Startup Repair" it does some thing for a while and then asks me to reboot. When I get past the boot menu it's back to square one

OpenSuse: Hangs, there is some part of the command GUI visible which reads "Panicking, launching in not-graphical mode" or something like that.

OpenSuse Failsafe mode: It doesn't boot, it gets stuck somewhere.

Please help as all my other (also newer and much better functioning) computers are either Mac or Linux and I need to do something with Windows, and someone else needs to use this computer, too.

There's this text I saw somewhere where the letters are kinda falling on top of each other. If you search Pengable Logo on Google Images you'll see an example of this font. Can anyone please tell me what this font is?

Thanks.

Are there any good free screen recording programs for Mac and Linux?

I have a 3x3 Rubik's Cube and I have solved one face (not certain if first layer). I don't know how to solve the rest, so can I please get some algrothims?

I'm running OpenSuSE 12.1 (Just installed 3 days ago). I am trying to install a non-tgz version of KVM. If I try out a git tree, this is what it said

linux-55wq:/home/(Censored) # git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/qemu-kvm.git

Cloning into qemu-kvm...

fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

linux-55wq:/home/(Censored) # git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/qemu-kvm.git

Please help.

So. I was in the market for 2 cars not 1. So I have the corvette question and i guess I should not consider any of those.

I still would ask you a question. Actually, no. 2.

If I get a car under 45k which drives quick and keeps me happy and sat least not un-fresh on long drives would it be

A used 2010 Chevy Corvette with 31.29k on the clock, A used Pontiac GTO with 34000mi on the clock, a 2008/2009 Lexus IS-F with 30-35k on the clock, or a brand new 3351 coupe or 335d (normal)

And also I needed another car with the same requirements just that it would be a city car not a trackday one

2007 Ford Focus Sedan 73k mi, 2007 Ford Focus SE - 53k mi, 2002 Ford Focus ZX5 - 99k mi, 2003 Ford Focus ZX3 - 73k, 2002 Ford Focus SE - 98k

My 2nd car budget is really low, like 7500 bucks and the focuses are reliable

so which one?

I got a budget of $45000 to buy a new/used car. I love supercars but know that I can't afford it. I was searching the GM certified used cars criterea, and was scrolling about when OMG

2007 corvette ZO6 - 34700

2008 Corvette- 36125

2010 Corvette- 42999!

Should I belive this or not!

If I should which one should I get?

They look kinda ugly and now boring and take up too much space. I want the ROUND buttons back!

I asked this like 3 days or something ago, but I got only 2 responses. Now, I've even shortlisted a few laptops(Dell Latitude E6320, Dell 500, Lenovo Ideapad S10-2-3). Tell me which one to get or something else with-

2+GB of RAM

Over 220GB HDD space

NVDIA GeForce Graphics card

ANYTHING**without** WINDOWS and I mean it

Intel Core i5/i3 Processor

Long Lasting battery (At least 8hrs)

Good Form Factor

Under $700

Purposes-

Some gaming and education

I'm willing to make an exception for those specs (except budget and OS) if there are better options there (I Already have)

I wanted to dual boot linux mint 10 XFCE. I haven't tried it with a USB stick yet. When I burn the disc with Xfburn, it does burn but it gets stuck saying ISOLINUX 3.3.6 2007 by H. Peter Alvin. Though when I burnt it on my mac, it got through alright, but after it loads casper, it gets stuck. Then it sends me to this BOOT FAILED! menu. Please help! Should I go on with the USB stick yet?

**$Y$7EM $E771NGS (1NF0)

And please note this is a kinda old computer, around 6 years old.

and just so you know, the same bug with downlading KDE. just that it dosent load casper.

Dell Latitude D620 with no hardware modifications, 0%battery health

Running Linux Mint 9 Isadora Fluxbox (want to dual boot it with XFCE 10)

61 GB Filesystem, 57.5 remaining (fresh hard drive after getting LM)

I am running linux, and am interested in getting one for my other windows XP. Narrowed down to Linux Mint (Fluxbox, Xfce, Lxce and KDE), kubuntu and Kubuntu

PS does XUBUNTU run Xfce and does the x mean XFCE? The rat logo gave me a hint.

Thanks and hope that was not too much.
