You’ve probably heard that you always need to use the Safely Remove Hardware icon before unplugging a USB device. However, there’s also a good chance that you’ve unplugged a USB device without using this option and everything worked fine. Windows itself tells you that you don’t need to use the Safely Remove Hardware option if you use certain settings – the default settings – but the advice Windows provides is misleading.

A while back I purchased a RFID scanner that could be connected to a PC and programmed via VS. It was a fun purchase an though the import duties nailed me, I was glad to get the little gadget. Last night while listening to .Net Rocks I heard of another company that sells similar components for .Net Micro. Check out their websites….

I'd like to get the terminal bell playing through my speakers, but so far I haven't had any luck. I've tried the suggestions in this question as well as a number of other sources, but I haven't had any luck.
I've also gone the route of un-blacklisting pcspkr in modprobe, but that only works for the beep command, not the terminal bell, echo -e '\a', ping -a, etc. I don't have a "PC Beep" option in alsamixer
After running Update Manager, a debconf window (titled "Configuring grub-pc"), popped up, requiring me to select the appropriateGRUB install devices for my system. I've made no changes to grub or the filesystem recently, and I don't remember what options I selected last time I did make a change.
How do I know what to select? I'm assuming the wrong answer could render my system unable to boot.
Here's the debconf dialog:
Here's the window and text that is displayed when selecting "help" :

One of my frustrations in upgrading to Windows 7 last year was that Virtual PC no longer worked since I didn’t have Hardware Virtualization on my CPU. This really drove my transition entirely to VMware Workstation on my personal laptop. I recently reinstalled my work laptop (with permission) on Windows 7 Enterprise and figured I’d give XP Mode a look since this machine has Hardware Virtualization enabled. I was surprised to find that Hardware Virtualization was no longer required,...(read more)
I recently purchased a tablet PC (Fujitsu ST5011D) on ebay. In the item description, it stated that "I just installed Windows TabletXP, but it needs to be activated." Fine and dandy, valid COA on the back per auction images. Well. Upon attempting activation, I was informed that I had an "invalid product key". I downloaded and ran Magical Jellybean to get the PK from within the system itself, and i...

I have programmed an OpenGL game which just contains one F1 car and a track. It is very simple and only uses around of 10'000 - 20'000 triangles. It should run on any PC but it won't, it needs a really good graphics-card to run at a decent framerate. Can you write some methods or links to sites which would help me make my scene/game more efective?
my game can be downloaded from here
or directly from here

Through the normal processes I enter my shared music folder on my Windows computer, i.e.: Places Network Windows pc Music. After rebooting my Ubuntu laptop, however, this connection isn't automatically set again.
My question: How do I get Ubuntu to automatically connect to that shared folder after login (while first checking whether the Windows computer is 'online')?
This because I added the folder to the Banshee Library, and I currently first have to go to the shared folder manually before Banshee can play the files.
Keyboard's up arrow key is keep pressing itself every few seconds.
I tried to install Ubuntu 14.04 via boot cd, even before installation the arrow key was being pressed by itself. I tried to use Ubuntu first without installing it and then tried to install it from there, the issue seemed to be fixed. I was using thePC for months until out of the blue the issue came back.
IT IS NOT A HARDWARE ISSUE!
Thank you in advance.
