I totally forgot about MATE. That would be perfect. The only question I have is will the Ubuntu programs interact smoothly with it since the default desktop is Unity in Ubuntu? Last night I decided to dual-boot backtrack 5 and Ubuntu. I would give Backtrack around 10 gigs and use it only for hacking/pen testing. I want to also install spoonwep on it :). Is there something particularly wrong with 3D rendering in linux (I plan to primarily use Blender) or is it a gut feeling? I ask because I've already had to redo some of the shortcut keys in Unity because they interfered with Blender. Once I got past though, it started acting smoother also, with all the settings and wistles of Compiz messing it up is fairly easy to do. You forget which shortcuts you set for this or for that, you forget which aspects of it you have activated and which ones you've deactivated, you change shortcuts the way you like them and then learn that they're interfering with something else. If you can develop a system with it though the process goes a LOT smoother. As for the Windows dual-boot, I'm considering it but back in the day I used to deal with a lot of infected files (WAREZ and such). I ended up getting in the hundreds range of infections on my computer each month :(. That's why I switched completely to Linux. I'm still paranoid about Windows. If you care to pay attention it could be avoided I guess. I mean I work on Windows machines daily fixing them and telling their owners how NOT to get infected but I'd just prefer not to have to worry about it. Linux has all I need. (except for quality games but that one is steadily coming).

Well, I can't figure out how to build the native echolink program (truth be told, I can't even remember what it's called anymore) so I'm stuck using it through WINE. I probably won't install echolink as it never has met my needs under WINE but I plan to rewrite my original field day logger (from BASIC into Python) and use it as a general purpose logger. I dislike the Unity interface but I prefer it over the others I've seen :(. KDE is too configurable and bulky. XFCE is too light and isn't configurable enough. blah blah blah. GNOME 3 just gives me headaches. Gnome 2 was my favorite but I don't want something that has moved has moved on to "bigger and better" things. If I could change anything in unity though it would be a better way to manage windows. Because every window takes the same space they're always interfering with one another when the menu bar is concerned :( I will install the compiz cofiguration program. I like having the ability to add graphic appeal (mostly making my windows transparent with certain key combos). I mostly plan to use the laptop for 3D rendering with Blender. I want to do short movies and images in HD. I also would like to get into pen testing. I used to be quite good at ******* ******** but that was back in the day when ******** were simply one command after another of mostly instructions on how to function and didn't take into consideration security vulnerabilities. However, I don't plan to use this knowledge for illegal purposes (anymore) as back then they were just member based things that ripped you off by making you pay for something that the authors themselves had released for free. Anyways, I still enjoy fooling around with that stuff and wouldn't mind a good base on how to get started again :) Don't worry about it. The questions help make decisions.

Just ordered a new laptop and I want to customize it. Anyone have any suggestions? Specifications: - Inspiron 15R - 8 gigs RAM - i5 processor (64-bit) - 1 TB hard drive (which I'll never use LOL) - Wifi (and I believe bluetooth but not sure) What I plan to do so far: - Install Ubuntu - Had a wierd desire to make it Dvorak instead of QWERTY - Also wondered what it would be like if the keyboard had no letters, so I purchased black stickers to go over the keys. - If no bluetooth, I plan to solder a bluetooth adapter into the motherboard. - Getting a wireless mouse - Getting a wired headset for comm purposes - Going to setup a VNC server for remote access - Thinking of donating some cycles to the folding research projects - Installing DVD support - Adding a live radio feed for my local police station to Rhythmbox - Want to look into setting up a DDNS url for it and possibly SSH Any other ideas?

If anyone on here is into recording Gospel music I know a great place that would love to share that music with the rest of the world.

You know when you ask yourself "I wonder if that really works?" after seeing that diamond skillet on TV that "supposedly" doesn't stick to anything? BUY IT!

Firefox, why must you be so conformative? One of the reasons I didn't like Chrome was because it broadcasted all of my favorite destinations to everyone whenever I opened it. Now you too?

How Many Of You Support Operation Mayhem And Why?
ki4jgt replied to ki4jgt's topic in Everything Else
That would be a great op LOL. OpPeace that is. Since anyone can claim being anonymous, maybe someone should start it up, post a video on youtube and claim it under anonymous. Something along the lines of We (anonymous) have found the error in our ways ROTFL. That's bound to turn some heads. Don't mean to keep bringing this thread up though but how many people are behind anonymous per se? Does anyone know for sure? Have their numbers dropped since the pedo sites were shut down (The last thing I heard about them until I googled them and came up with this stupid plan)? -
How Many Of You Support Operation Mayhem And Why?
ki4jgt replied to ki4jgt's topic in Everything Else
LOL, well the pedo sites they brought down inside of Tor was a good thing but they've allowed all the power to go to their heads (whether it's the same group or not who does operation Mayhem.) I've never agreed with anything they've done whole-heartedly. I have noticed the positives afterwards though. However, they have gone from picking on government agencies and companies who may have serious security concerns to sectors which are a tad more private. Though it's funny and could be conceived as the robin hood personality with entities which do not make known their intentions (not that I condone hacking illegally because I don't). There are always two sides to every coin. Companies which aren't supposed to make known their intentions because they are protecting something like say, one of the workers in one of those companies has AIDS and it's on their medical record, with as much of a data dump as this is proposing there's no way of keeping that type of information private. I would honestly be afraid of what they found on me. I don't even work for those companies but I am involved with a couple. I know I wouldn't want that information getting out. What's worse, we don't even know who "they" are, so for as far as we know, they could use this information to black-mail any of us. I pity the person low enough to help them in their data dump this time. -
Who all supports opperation mayhem-2012 and why do you support it? For the record, I do not b/c I believe with that much of a data dump there is bound to be personal information included and some innocent bystanders will be hurt.

It's a public access hotspot which my Iphone will not connect to (too far away). So I can't exactly bridge it. Plus the situation is temporary so I have no need to purchase a professional bridge. I can't adhoc as Iphone won't connect to an adhoc network :(.
-
I need a temporary setup to turn my computer into a network bridge. I have one router with Internet access and one router without. I need my laptop to act as an intermediary and relay the information from one wireless router to the other. I have 2 wireless USB sticks with Ubuntu Linux. I can connect to each of them at the same time but I need to relay the Internet from one to the other.

Which Jesus do you follow?Which Jesus do you serve?If Ephesians says to imitate ChristThen why do you look so much like the world?Cause my Jesus bled and diedHe spent His time with thieves and liarsHe loved the poor and accosted the arrogantSo which one do you want to be?Blessed are the poor in spiritOr do we pray to be blessed with the wealth of this landBlessed are they that hunger and thirst for righteousnessOr do we ache for another taste of this world of shifting sandCause...

To those of you,Who handed me,This glass,I give it back,I choose to pass.It's yours again,To love and keep,It's yours again,To plow and reap.The image without,Isn't the one within.So take it now,And behold,Your reflection!
