Cool video !

[tallyhoman911]

wait if your blind then what do glasses do? do they make it so you can see allittle?

[rml695]

@tallyhoman911 For someone with low vision, I can see very well (20/70). I have many friends with no sight who this video is targeted at.

[nick41324]

If ur blind why are you looking at a computer

[rml695]

@nick41324 We use a piece of software technology called a screen reader. There's JAWS for Windows, Window-Eyes, NVDA, System Access To Go, and on the Mac side there's VoiceOver, and on the Linux side (under the GNOME desktop environment) there's Orca, there's also Speakup.

[nick41324]

@rml695 oah... that pretty cool tho!

[rml695]

@SuperTeheinc It's alright. I still would like you to watch those videos, though.

[rml695]

@SuperTeheinc "How well can I see?" "No glasses = How Much Vision?" "My Experience when I was blind", and "People take their vision for granted." Watch those videos, then you'll understand perfectly about the glasses.

The problem is i can't get ubuntu to work on wireless.

[rml695]

YOu may need ot get into the forums, I can't remember what the command sequence is. However, you need to get into the Terminal, and get into the black list. You need to uncheck your Wireless card. Odds are that's what's happening, and will fix the problem.

[Cdogpyjamas]

ok well i have a usb wireless adaptor for my dell dimension 2400, that i got for 75 bucks its a 2ghz with 256 ram, however unfortunately the original hard drive died so I'm using another hard drive that i have to mount in the cd drive bay because its impossible to actually remove the original drive because its a dell, anyway i think it could probably do with more ram but im going to try and set this up as a computer to use . The wireless adaptor cost me 25 dollars and the screen was 15$ flat crt

[rml695]

Check the repositories. See if you can find drivers for that specific USB WiFi adapter. If not, check the Ubuntu forums, as well as Google. Type in "(name of adapter); Ubuntu Drivers" or something along those lines.

[ashthepokemonmaster]

ubuntu wont run on my pentium 1 !!!!!!!!

[Cdogpyjamas]

pentium 1 is too slow. Go to the junkyard and get a pentium 3.

[ashthepokemonmaster]

i did........its a pentium 1 mmx 233 mhz (the fasest i can find on ebay lol

[otterpat]

ubuntu is the one os i use on all my computers

[urakai25]

well i got my pc for £300 in England

q6600 2.4ghz

3gb Ram

8500 gt

and its very upgradable with pci 2.0 mobo so im planning to get a gtx 260 and a new psu.

Also the q6600 is very overclockable

Windows vista doesn't get viruses if you're not a dumb shit that clicks every "free porn" link you see.

[rml695]

True but I remember reading something that said that the virus protection software cannot keep up with the amount of viruses at the moment.

[914Buster]

I didn't say anything about virus protection software. I've been using vista for 3 years and 7 for 6 months or so without ever needing a virus protection program

[mangie222]

@rml695 then get a good anti virus

[mozart116]

Guys, if you want a cheap computer get the Gateway DX4200-09 it's a good computer.

Quad Core

ATI 3200 (the best integrated graphics)

640 GB hd

4 gb ram

NOT BAD!

$439.99 on Amazon :)

[ska8rules]

im useing windows xp but i like vista

[tivervan]

OOORRR! You could say "Screw ebay" and build yourself an Intel ATOM based rig in mATX case for $200 but with new parts and no scammers.(because you would be buying from newegg or ncix or what have you)

It would totally smoke the Pentium II that someone on ebay would scam computer illiterate persons into buying for $200. :P

Despite what some might say, a 1.6Ghz atom with GMA950 will do the internet acces, IM, email, music, vid playback, etc that most average people need to do.

[madmax2069]

well with any windows version you will get viruses. i use AVAST and its free and so far i have ran the same OS install for about one and a half years with no infections.

so you dont have to pay anything for a good anti virus. most of those pay anti virus programs are bloated and are crap anyway.

and you need spybot S&D which is also free and will get rid of other malware you might pick up surfing the net.

i would not waste my time or money on vista. i will skip vista and go to Win 7

[rml695]

I'm running the Microsoft distributed public Beta of Windows 7 Build 7000 and at first I liked it but now...I don't know. LOL

[shapally]

why is that ? i was planning to buy it . =P

[rml695]

IT's been 5 months. Off & On I've used it. I like it, but I still don't know. lol

[ikcti]

Really long talk for just 1 point.

[volure1]

[victoriatodd]

i got my laptop computer it's a medion windows xp from woolworth's for 200 pound's it was 1000 pound's anywhere else that's pretty cheap for a window's computer i miss woolworth:(

[JQPRILL]

get avg it's free for none busniss

[madmax2069]

AVG is crap

[timswilsonjr]

XP runs well on "low end" components. XP can run very well, with the most compatibility for the end user. Windows has more market share, so it of course has more viruses. If Linux was mainstream (In terms of PC's) then it would have more people writing viruses, that is just common sense. As for low end, a Pentium 133 is low end, the Aspire is not really considered "low end" considering it fills a certain niche in the market.

[demetriusandrew]

I recently tried installing Ubuntu through WUBI but I can't get it to be stable enough. It either eventually boots into "busybox" or it just hangs there. It is difficult to partition a drive from inside Windows as well....so a Linux user that uses/needs Windows for things is going to have to make the sacrifice and jump ship

[Charles2337]

Even if you got a virus on linux it would be so easy to remove it because you can access everything on your computer under linux. If the virus was so harsh that totally destroyed your OS; Linux is free so just re-install it.

[Dejaiin]

For new users I would suggest Ubuntu Linux. The price of enterprise linux versions go to supporting the product they are usually selling a service to "add value" think of it as someone to blame. Linux itself is supported by the community and a bunch of companies that use there profits from enterprise distros to give back to linux by paying developers for there man hours on the kernel .

[Dejaiin]

The reason Linux gets very little viruses is because the distros and the kernel have very intelligent on the ball developers who patch security issues very quickly and then give them to you for free :D

[jls1114]

electoncs wold concetn me geting used cuz im araid it would not have mch life out of it but gd poins and you have no coice its a solution

[Eido486]

I was thinking of getting a cheap computer and putting Ubuntu on it and if I wanted to use Windows programs, I would use Wine
