So many people always overlook the basics on power protection basics. Surge protectors ONLY protect against large surges. Micro surges happen in the dozens per day in areas with less then stellar power systems. Another myth is that a surge protector protects against lightning strikes, IT DOES NOT. L...

Didn't think it would work, but it was the last one I had on record lol.

Sorry man, I will dig some. Let ya know what I find.

Hi guys, I had the same problem, not being able to change the brightness. I did what you described, which brought me a little further, but still not to my full desire ;p I am now able to adjust the brightness, but it wont change until I restart my laptop. What I mean ist, that it doesnt change righ...

found the fix some time back

untick use decoration cropping in emerald.

You guys is so a typical and generic. Also very politically incorrect. You people rarely fit. Find my self saying things like Ladies and gents more often. or the more common guys and gals Never forget the classic "Y'all" haha . I use this one the most, seems to fit any occasion. :lol:

stepping up in the world, grats buddy.

You also look to be doing a great job on LSF as mod to.

Hope ya don't mind, fixed a few things for ya.

I have tried it several times, performance setting is only showing on 1 core. All others remain on demand.

I just not not see a way to use this to control each core and each thread.

Pity , would be nice to have it in one neat spot.

No I changed the name kuz I was getting complaints I wasn't being fully loyal to other distro websites for using mint. Bunch of BS and I have for the most part separated my identity between the two now lol. Reckon Mint has finally filled my needs using it as my base. Far more simple building a stabl...

Don't get me wrong chief. I didn't mean to be rued or condescending. Like I said each to there own, I just think it is far to complicated for a rookie is all. Also I get why you do it this way bud, I just don't get why it should be needed for him is all. Yes he can add a new OS to the free space, I...

What do i need this 100 GB Extended for ? you don't, I don't understand his setup, far more complicated then I like it. Each to there own. I just like simplified and effective. Ideal way to prepare for planed addition OS space is to leave free untouched space. 1. windows 2. shared docs from windows...

sorry, should have typed back. Job turned out GREAT and as planed on my side. Dual boot win vista with Linux mint. (Vista was a license already installed on the PC) Retrofit to Linux mint 11 lol. Funny how Linux always runs better then its intended windows counterpart. Client I hear is raving happy....
