If you want to dual-boot with Ubuntu, but are more comfortable with Windows, you might want to try installing it using Wubi. Wubi can install Ubuntu on the same partition as Windows and use the Microsoft bootloader to choose between the OSs. This saves you the trouble of dealing with partitioning and setting up GRUB…

My prized DJ headphones broke this week, and it got me thinking. Of all the gadgets I own, there are few others that would leave me reaching for them and going "D'OH" if they stopped working. What are the most important gadgets in your lives?

There are Thunderbolt-powered PCIe modules out there, but only one is currently available. And it costs $1000.

Behold!

I look forward to the day when LEDs become cheap enough to use as indoor lights.

True.

A way you could get around this would be to compress large files into separate .rar files. I'm fairly sure you can do this on 7Zip.

Couldn't find it in the alternate downloads section, so I assumed they merged it with the normal one. Had to go to [cdimage.ubuntu.com] to get it.

I think Gnome Classic is no longer available in this release.

Can't boot the liveCD on my MacBook (boo-hoo)

I have never tried it (my last android was a G1), but I have heard really good things about MIUI.

Just got it yesterday! It's quite buggy software-wise, but be it due to cognitive dissonance or outright geekiness, I like it. If it still piques your interest, though, you might want to wait until all the minks get ironed out. Of course, by that time, the Kindle Fire will probably have been rooted.

I used to have an old Dimension with that same problem. It had its redeeming qualities, though, namely dual-monitor support and enough power to run windows 7 without a hitch (in a machine from 2003!)

This is one of my favorite SMBC comics of all time.

It's a bit late, but here goes:

Looks like a handy trick. I have looked around for ways to do this on OS X, but have only found this:

I had the same dilemma and ended up going for the FusionGarage Grid10. It is supposed to start shipping tomorrow and it costs $300.

Look for buyers for the old one. My old landlord had one of those things in the basement and sold it to a museum when the new one was installed.
