Minecraft launcher wont download on Macbook?

Q. When my mom upgraded my computer to Mountain Lion, minecraft got deleted from my computer. When I had the launcher before I didn't download it from the actual minecraft site, I put it in a file in evernote from my iPod (because my computer has parental controls on it and I can't get to minecrafts site.) My mom realized it wasn't actually downloaded to my computer so I tried downloading it (from minecraft.net) but every time a pop up came up saying it was a damaged file and couldn't be opened so I needed to move it to the trash. When I looked at the file in downloads it said the file was 149 KB when online it said it was supposed to be 270 KB. I turned off pretty much all of the parental controls and firewalls and it still isn't working so I just played through that evernote file like before. When I logged in my world's weren't there. I'm so frustrated and I'm not sure why it isn't working. Any ideas? If you need any more information let me know

A. I'm not sure if the problem is that yuor launcher is not loading orthat your worlds are not there, but forthe launcher, make your you downloaded the mac/linux version, and for thewrlds, its normal that your world worlds are not there if you changed pc. you had tosave your worlds on a USB key and then put themback in /.minecraft. Hope i helped!!:D

what are some AWESOME apps for android?
Q. I download the most convincing;)

A. The list

1. Google Voice

Google Voice is a service that is so useful I consider it one of the top benefits of Android itself, especially since Apple rejected the Google Voice app for the iPhone. It gives you a phone number that can ring to multiple places or devices and it allows you to access all of your voicemail and text messages over the Web. The Android app integrates even deeper. It can make outgoing calls look like theyâre coming from your Google Voice number so that you can keep your real mobile number private.

2. Advanced Task Killer

One of the realities of having a multitasking mobile OS in Android is that you have to manage your apps so that they donât hurt performance or battery life. Advanced Task Killer (or ATK) is my favorite. It even comes with a widget that you can tap once to kill all open apps.

3. Dropbox

Dropbox is a great cloud service that automatically syncs a folder of files between multiple computers (Windows, Mac, or Linux). This app extends Dropbox to Android and interacts with other apps (such as Documents To Go) to open the files.

4. Evernote

Once you get used to typing on a virtual keyboard (and it honestly took me over a year to do it), then these devices are great for note-taking, and Evernote is a great note-taking app. It is similar to Dropbox in that it saves data locally but syncs it across all your machines and devices.

5. DroidAnalytics

For some reason Google doesnât have an official app (for either Android or iPhone) for Google Analytics. The best one Iâve found on Android is DroidAnalytics. Another good one is mAnalytics.

6. Documents To Go

The free version of Documents To Go offers a great little reader for Word and Excel files. You can upgrade to the full version (for $15) if you want to edit files and add PowerPoint files to the mix. If you do want editing capability, Iâd also recommend taking a look at QuickOffice.

7. Amazon Kindle

I never warmed up to the Amazon Kindle e-reader, but Iâm a big fan of the Kindle mobile app. Since it was released Iâve read a lot more books simply because my smartphone is always with me and I can pull it and read a few pages anytime Iâve got a couple minutes free.

8. Places Directory

This is an awesome app for finding shops and services near your current location. From restaurants to movie theaters to medical facilities to taxis, this app is very accurate and takes advantage of the business information from Google Local. This app is better than the info you get from a GPS unit (or app) and better than any of the similar apps available on the iPhone.

9. Tripit

I dig Tripit. It is by far the best app Iâve found for keeping track of all my travel itineraries. It runs on some great backend systems. You simply forward your confirmation emails for your flights, hotels, rental cars, and more to Tripit and it automatically organizes them into trips with all your details and confirmation numbers.

10. Seesmic

Twitter is an amazing instant-intelligence engine and it was made for mobile browsing. Although thereâs an official Twitter app for Android now, Seesmic is still the best Android Twitter client.

11. FCC Speedtest

Iâm obsessed with running speed tests to check my bandwidth in various places, both to see 3G fluctuations and to check the quality of Wi-Fi. There are a number of really good speedtest apps, but my new favorite is the FCC Test app.

12. Astro File Manager

Another one of the great things about Android (if youâre a geek or a tinkerer) is that you have lower-level access to the system itself. Astro is an app that lets you navigate the Android file system.

13. Got To Do

There are plenty of to-do apps to choose from on Android but I prefer Got To Do because of the solid interface and the fact that it can sync with the online service Toodledo.

14. Gist

Many of us have contact lists scattered across various computers, devices, and online services. Gist is a Web service that can bring them together and even pull in stuff from the Web to help you stay up to date with your most important contacts. Thereâs an Android app as well as an iPhone app.

15. TED Mobile

TED is a fascinating event that features a meeting of the minds of some of societyâs most influential thinkers. Youâll definitely disagree with some of them, because thereâs a large diversity of opinions, but many talks are worth listening to. What I love is that theyâve taken the videos from their conference and made them freely available on the Web. This app provides a great way to access the videos. I hope more conferences follow TEDâs lead on this.

I really want a new phone,?
Q. Basically i have the iPhone 3G and i don't want another iPhone and i've been using my dad's old BlackBerry Bold 9700 and im not impressed, so what phone can i get that's comparable to the iPhone and won't disappoint? And preferably touch screens please (:?
I was thinking about the Palm Pre Plus, anybody know anything about it?

A. I'll answer by asking: are you a *very* technical person?

If so, the Nokia N900 is amazing ... but it's surely not for the faint of heart. Sure, very few of its apps cost money, but with kernel editing and beta software being the rule instead of the exception, there's the room for danger. I love mine -- I can FTP, DLNA, edit word docs with Abiword, check my wife's cycle on MaeGirls, blog with MaStory, edit images with Ansel-A, use Evernote and have root access. I even started using it as an MP3 player, keeping 30 GB of MP3 on it (did I mention it has 32GB of space built in and will take a 16GB Micro-SD card?). However, I'm very experimental.

The Palm Pre platform is gorgeous, with amazing multitasking and user interface. The hinge on the phone was a problem for my co-worker, who sent his back, saying it felt "fragile." If HP updates the OS (they bought Palm recently) and supports it (and the deal with the privacy concern -- Palm was collecting user data that was so not cool, but then again so do many Android apps), I could see myself being swayed back that way with decent productivity software. For now, though, I love the freedom of my Linux phone and don't mind the risks (I back up everything all the time).

Good luck!

How would you go about this linux task?

Q. 1. I must grep through executable scripts, but they don't end in .doc or .exe tag

2. the grep signature will be "rcp" other remote commands so I can change them secure commands like "scp"

Is there any way I could do this in Linux and using Perl?

A. find . -type f -perm /u+x -exec grep -l -w rcp {} \;

Find regular files starting at the current directory which are executable by the owner. When found grep on whole words of "rcp", but display only the file names.

If you really want to replace "rcp" with "scp" in all cases (not recommended because that is too sweeping), then add a sed loop. Something like this:


find . -type f -perm /u+x -exec grep -l -w rcp {} \; | while read NAME; do cat $NAME | sed -e 's/rcp /scp /g' > .tmp.$$ ; mv .tmp.$$ $NAME; done

Be SURE to test that thoroughly before trying that last bit.

How do I turn my Ubuntu/Linux PC into a server for my Windows 7 PC?
Q. Is this a good idea? Will my Windows PC get extra protection since I will be going on the Internet using the Ubuntu as a server, as an intermediary? How difficult is it to do this?

A. This question is pretty poorly designed. There is no "Server for windows" in Linux. You can do several things with linux and connect/use them from windows though. You can make linux a firewall and router, connect it to your cable/dsl modem so you can have multiple computers use your internet connection at one time. You can run web, ftp, and other servers for files and web pages. You can also run Samba which allows you to access and store files on the linux hard driver over the network. linux also makes a GREAT extension to your windows environment using things like xdmcp, rdp, ssh, scp. if you do not know what any of these terms are, google is your buddy. You can also set up a web proxy using linux and this could definitely be used to increase your web browsing security in windows by blocking malicious web sites. Pretty much anything you want to do with Linux is limited by you and your willingness to learn.

Nothing is simple click and go in linux. You have to be willing to experiemnt, read, and learn.

How do you transfer files from the command line in Red Hat Linux?
Q. I'm trying to transfer files from a Fedora Core to the host server, which is a Red Hat v 8. How do I do it from the command line?

A. Well there are several ways to do this. They depend on what servers are running on the host machine. If you can ssh to the host server, then the best way is "scp <filename> <host machine>:<filename>". If this is not setup you can try ftp or one of the disk sharing protocols like Samba or NFS.

Can Windows viruses run in a Linux OS through Wine?

Q. I have Linux Mint 7 Gloria, and I tested a malicious script (fork bomb) to see if it would adversely effect the computer, and it did crash. Could other malicious scrips meant to harm Windows harm Linux in Wine? If so, should I consider installing virus protection in Wine?

A. The way Wine works, it create a software version of Windows within Linux. A Windows virus might be able to run without that environment (assuming the files it attacks are being simulated in Wine). However as soon as you stop Wine, you would kill the virus. When you reload Wine the virus would not longer be working. (Assuming you are not running Wine as Root).

How do I use Wine to play/install Windows games on Linux?
Q. I am having a difficult time in trying to figure this out. I really want to play some of my Windows games on Linux. I know there are some ways to do it, I just don't know what they are or how to do it. How do I play/install Windows games on Linux using Wine? Are there easier, less complicated methods to do this?

A. option 1: dual boot windows and Linux
option 2: use wine. you can probably find a tutorial on how to use wine. just search how to use wine on Linux. However not all games are compatible with wine so you'll have to Google specific games to see their compatibility. for example if you want to play Splinter cell 3 on Linux with wine you could Google "is splinter cell 3 compatible with wine" or "splinter cell 3 on Linux"

What are the chances of getting a virus while using utorrent?
Q. I am using a mac book pro with the osx operating system, and i am thinking about using Utorrent to get music, but i don't want to ruin my mac.

A. Reality Check for all computer users;

The moment you choose to download files from the internet period regard less of whether you are using Mac, Linux, Unix, Windows, etc...you are putting your computer at risk.

That said Torrents are very high risk downloads when it pertains to security issues, and must be done using the utmost caution. When ever you download files via torrent you should always scan them. I recommend Norton Antivirus or a free but great alternative AVG. I believe there are versions for Mac.

Just keep in mind a virus, or other related programs can be embedded in any file period. Furthermore, just be cause you use Linux, or Mac as your operating system (I am a Linux user btw.) does not protect you from viruses. However the odds of catching a virus is lower when compared to more popular platforms.

So just to end my explanation; using the internet places your computer at risk, downloading files regardless of where those files come from, places your computer at risk, browsing websites places your computer at risk. Even so I not saying you should be paranoid or anything, but you should not be lowered into a false sense of security either (that's a lot worse than be paranoid).

Have fun with your torrents, and remember to scan your files, especially executables and scripts before using them, and you should be fine. I run Gentoo Linux and I scan all of my downloaded files before use!

Hope this enlightens you!

My computer can't connect to my wireless router wirelessly but it can with a wired connection?

Q. I just bought and set up a D-Link DGL-4500, and it works perfectly if my computer is plugged in to the ports at the back of the router, but when I try to connect wirelessly it just says "Windows cannot connect".

When I try to connect my cheap little linux netbook wirelessly, it connects flawlessly.

What can I do to make this work??

A. I bet it's because you need to install all of the service packs on your Windows machine.

I believe that support for WPA/WPA2 wasn't included until either SP2 or SP3 of XP.

If that's not the problem, then go to the web site of your computer manufacturer or WiFi card manufacturer to see if there is an updated driver or support program available for your computer or WifI card.

Download the WiFi related updates (if available) and see if that doesn't fix the issue.

Good Luck!

How to measure the performance of an Linux C application?

Q. I have written a C code, which uses fread, fwrite,. I want to measure the performance like No_Of_Blocks read and written by the application. disk usage, memory usage etc. Is there any tool to measure the performance of an application in linux?

A. lets see:
You can measure CPU performance using /proc/cpu. You can measure ethernet performance by using /sbin/ifconfig <eth_port>. You can use df to track data written to a filesystem/mountpoint. Take a before and after snapshot using the tool of choice and determine the metric you wish to measure.

What flavor of Linux is best for setting up a file-server?

Q. My family is scattered throughout the country.

I'd like to set up a Linux file-server that all of us around the country can tap into with SSH and share files. What flavor works best for this ? Ubuntu ? Kubuntu ? CentOS ?
Edit:

Thanks guys. Someone recommended CentOS to me...I just wasn't sure why. Seems like anything out there will run Samba just fine. You guys rule.

A. I'd use CentOS, but if all you're doing is a file share behind a firewall, they'll all run Samba fine.

My phone runs linux can i put a file that runs on linux on my phone?

What type of package do I use on Linux Mint 9?

Q. Most software I find isn't packaged specifically for Linux Mint. So I was wondering, do I use the packages for Ubuntu or the one classified under other or all distros?

I figured other or all would make more sense, but I thought since Linux Mint is from Ubuntu maybe its OK.

Yes, I'm new to Linux >.> Thanks for any help.

A. Any package ending with .deb should be installable in Linux Mint. That means any packages designed for Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, or any other Debian derivatives will be fine.

What is the most streamlined method of upgrading the Linux kernel?
Q. I have tried several methods but I am looking that streamlines the process to a minimum. Does anyone know of such a method.

Distros.

Ubuntu>Linux Mint>Fedora
I am looking to upgrade to the latest Linux kernel

A. A generic kernel made for testing for the next version of your flavor of linux. For mepis, a debian based flavor, I add a sid repository to my apt/sources.list, aptitude update, and then install the latest kernel. I then comment out or delete the line in apt/sources.list, and test that I haven't hosed my applications. I did say to make a backup first didn't I?

What version of Wine should I use for Linux Mint 11?
Q. I imagine it would be the Debian version, since Mint is a Debian based, but I want to be sure.

A. Install the latest version of Wine on Linux Mint using the WineHQ PPA Repository
http://www.winehq.org/download/ubuntu

Open a Terminal and submit the following commands (copy and paste)

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install wine

How do I transfer files to and from my computer I'm remotely connected to through SSH?

Q. I want to be able to transfer files to and from my home computer remotely while accessing it from an SSH connection...How do I do this? Do I need to set up an FTP server on my home computer? It's running Debian Linux and I access it from my Android phone using ConnectBot.

A. If it's running an ssh server that will include scp and usually sftp.
You can connect with any scp/sftp client like winscp, rsync. If you set up SSH keys access you need not bother with passwords (though it's still a good idea to have some passphrase in case you lose the phone)

ftp is less secure, unless you use SSL

I am accessing my home linux box remotely from work. How can I copy files from that linux comp to my local com
Q. I am accessing my home linux computer remotely from my MacBook via SSH. I am behind a NAT, so I don't have a static IP. I want to retrieve some files from that linux box to my MacBook. Is there a reverse SCP command that I can use so that I can SCP the file from my home linux box to my MacBook at work through the already established tunnel?

A. You use scp direct (not through the tunnel). It can copy either way. One option is to log in to your Linux box through ssh, then use scp to the Mac from there. you would need the address of the mac, and forwarding set up at its' router. Alternatively use the scp from the mac console to your Linux machine. You must have its' address if you can ssh to it.

Is there a way to easily shutdown a remote linux server with a shell script?

I need to know how to shutdown a linux machine REMOTELY.

This means that I want to run a script on LinuxBox1 and have LinuxBox2 (another linux server on same LAN) shut down.

A. Actually SSH would have to be set up first to allow passwordless, login between servers.

I found the solution else where, and just wanted to post it here, in case anyone else stubles on this question looking for an answer.

NOTE: IN THE RESOLUTION BELOW MANY OF THE COMMANDS ARE CUT OFF, OR INCORECTULY SHOW AS TWO LINES. FOLLOW THIS LINK FOR A PROPERLY FORMATED ANSWER.
http://www.justlinux.com/forum/showthread.php?p=863427#post863427

RESOLUTION:
Here's what I did...

First I ssh'd from each machine to each other one. (The first time u ssh to new machine it asked you to accept the machines "fingerprint" and saves it -- this is just so they know who each other are.

Then on the machine I wanted to be able to shutdown FROM I did
[CODE]
cd /root/.ssh/
ssh-keygen -t rsa
[/CODE]
and accepted the default location. (/root/.ssh/id_rsa)
I left the passphrase blank, so it would not be required.

Then basically you just need to copy that "id_rsa" file onto the DESTINATION machine, in the same directory, but named as "authorized_keys". Which can easily be done like this:
[CODE]
scp id_rsa.pub xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/root/.ssh/authorized_keys [/CODE]
Where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address or host name of remote machine.

[INDENT]NOTE: You may want to check if a file by that name already exists, on the remote machine, because the above command will overwrite it without warning. -- If you already have a file by that name on the remote machine, I would suggest using command above, but change the file name. Then on the remote machine, append the file you just copied to the existing one. This could easily be done like this: (there may be an even simpler way - but this is what I know)

[CODE]mv /root/.ssh/authorized_keys /root/.ssh/authorized_keys.backup
cat /root/.ssh/authorized_keys.backup /root/.ssh/yourfilename > /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
[/CODE]
[/INDENT]

Then make sure the /root/.ssh/authorized_keys file has 600 permissions.
[CODE]
chmod 600 /root/.ssh/authorized_ keys
[/CODE]

Then try to ssh to the remote machine.
[CODE]
ssh xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
[/CODE]
And if it works like it did for me -- it will let you right in, with no username or password. If this works correctly, you should be able to remotely run commands through ssh within scripts.

If I boot my computer from a linux live cd, how can I access the computer hdd to recover data?

Q. My computer quit, but before I reset the system, I need to get pictures, documents, and other data from it. I can boot up with a Linux Live CD, but am having trouble accessing the HDD. Any Ideas?

A. I am assuming when you say "access the HDD" you mean the files created under Windows?

If so, you can still get to them: remove the CD and it will boot up in Windows; then put the files you need on a flash drive, CD or external HDD.

Then reinsert the linux CD, boot up linux, and retrieve the files from the flash drive, etc.

PS, if you're using ubuntu, some great sites for questions/support are:

Am I risking lossing my operating system by booting my laptop with a linux live cd?
Q. I have windows 7 on my laptop and it wont really start up, so im going to recover my data from it by using a linux live cd to boot it up. Is there any risk that ill lose my windows 7 in the process?

A. No. Booting Linux from a CD won't harm your windows (unless you deliberately format your hard drive and install Linux from the CD). It's a good way to recover your data, but you'll still have to fix or re-install Windows.

Can you use PHP and Mysql with a Linux Live CD?
Q. If you come back to Windows will all your PHP & Mysql settings gone? Do you have to reinstall everything again if you decide to use a second time the Linux Live CD?? I don't want to install Linux permanently o0n my sustem but I would like to work with the Lice CD without losing my work & setings. Is it possible?

A. Linux LiveCD's are run within the RAM of your PC so you cannot save you settings between LIVE sessions.

One possibility is having Ubuntu installed on a USB Pendrive

How to use a crossover cable between two computers?
Q. I have two Ubuntu Linux computers and a crossover cable.....What do I do? I just want to be able to share files between computers.

A. Set the IP addresses on both computers to be within one sub network like

pc1 ip - > 192.168.0.2
pc1 mask -> 255.255.255.0

pc2 ip - > 192.168.0.3
pc2 mask -> 255.255.255.0

After that you must share at least one resource on one of the pc's

After that you should be able to access the shared resource from the other computer

Q. I want to reinstall it because I am getting issues with Linux Mint 12 and believe it to be the fault of a bad download. I also want to uninstall GRUB so I can just do a completly clean reinstall since GRUB decided to mess up once I deleted Windows 8 Consumer preview.

A. If you reinstall linux mint you can also reinstall grub at the same time. There is no need to remove grub if you are going to reinstall it.

How to remove an OS from a multiboot?

Q. For a while now I've been running Windows 7 in a multiboot with Vista and Linux Mint. I'd like to get rid of Vista while keeping a Mint/Win7 dual boot. Is there a way to do this?

A. Depends on which OS is controlling the boot menu. If it is Windows, you will find a text file in the root of your computer called boot.ini. Open it in notepad and you will see the menu options. Remove the line for Vista and resave the file. (Back up the old first just in case...)

I do not know if Win 7 as the option, but with early versions of Windows you can edit the boot.ini using msconfig. Start > Run > type in: msconfig

Go to the boot.ini tab

Run the "check all paths" and it will update the boot.ini to reflect the current configuration of your computer.

How to remove linux from desktop computer using xp cd?

Q. I am using linux in my computer and do not like it and i want to remove it but i have no idea and i only have xp cd tell the full step.

A. HI There,

I had the same experience using LInux and decided to switch back to XP. Many of the applications I used simply did not work with LInux. Also configuring the printer, scanner (and wireless adapter) were difficult or even impossible. Not Linux's fault but the manufacturers did not include drivers for LInux.

It is not difficult to install XP and it only takes about 40 minutes or so for the installation. After installing there will be about 80 updates from Microsoft which will take longer than the install. If you have the original XP then you will want to update to SP-2 and then update to SP-3 since SP-3 is the only version still supported.

Before installing I like to write down the 25 digit key code on the tag located on the CD ( use big letters and numbers to make it easy to read later ).

Also write down all the settings needed to connect to the internet. Once XP is installed they will no longer be available.

Another thing to do is decide upon which antivirus app you want to install and have the CD or file ready on a flash drive ready for when you connect to the internet. At the very least have the URL written down so you can install ASAP. It only takes a few minutes for an unprotected system to be infected by a virus. The first thing to do after connectingto the interent is to install your antivirus and make sure the firewall is enabled.

Now you are ready to install XP.

To install all you need to do is insert your XP CD/DVD into the optical drive and boot from it then follow the instructions.

You will be asked for your time zone , keyboard configuration, password for admin account and at some time you need to enter the 25 digit COA that you have written down.

You do not need to enter a password (just press <Enter> with the dialog box blank or if you want a password; go ahead and enter it (write it down and save in a safe place). I don't use a password but if you do make sure to remember it .

To boot from the optical drive restart your computer and watch the monitor. It will show the memory and hardware check and at the bottom of the screen it will tell you which key to press to change the boot order. Probably <F12>, <F8>, <Esc> or <Delete>.

As soon as that message appears; press the key and it should boot from the CD/DVD.
If you are not quick enough; shut down and try again.

Once the computer has booted from the CD/DVD drive just follow the instructions for a full installation.
This will format the hard drive and install XP to the entire C-Drive. Formatting will erase Linux and set up the drive for Windows XP.

After the installation has finished you will need to reboot and you will be running Windows XP.
First go into security settings and enable the firewall.
Second setup your internet and connect to the internet. Immediately install your antivirus and let it update. Your antivirus may want to do a full system scan as part of the installation. That's OK.

After the antivirus is running Windows will want to update. If it does not ask then go to the Microsoft website and find updates and install them.

Good luck,
Al

Note: if you XP CD/DVD is not a genuine copy for your system the installation will fail at some point or it will not update.

What is the best free antivirus for a Macbook Pro with Mac OS X?
Q. I just bought a Macbook Pro and I run Frostwire and I don't have antivirus to protect my Mac. I am new to Apple so I hardly know anything about this yet, so any help with be great, Thanks.

A. clamav is a good antivirus program that has long existed for linux and since the macos is now based on bsd which is a very very similar os to linux, there is a version of clamav for mac too. Im not a mac user so beyond knowing about it, i don't know much about any others.

edit - Actually, there is a very good reason to have virus protection on a mac. Even though most viruses can't run on macs, it doesn't mean they can't be there and transferred to a pc and infect that pc. He says he is downloading stuff using a p2p network and that tends to be one of the most common ways viruses are spread so it is only prudent to have an antivirus program that can scan the downloaded files and clean them up if needed.

Can I run an antivirus on windows installed on a mac?
Q. I am soon to be getting a macbook, and I plan to run a dual-boot system on it. My question is whether it is safe to install an antivirus on windows, like nod32 while having an antivirus on osX as well. I know that intalling more than one antivirus is a very bad idea, I am wondering if that is true for two operating systems on the same machine.

A. why even dual boot --unless u have a large hdd---just use linux from a pen drive --it is an open source an is safer then windows --it's a plug and play OS----i use it in travel --it's great for cafes and airports --plug in log on lo gout put pen drive in ur pocket

How to format or wipe a compact flash that is used for an embedded operating system?

Q. I have an ATP 4GB Compact Flash that is used for a computer and not for photos or with a camera.
It is Linux OS and after I format it in Win XP, the files are still there. Is there a program such as Boot and Nuke(which is for IDE drives) that will wipe the compact flash clean??
I've also tried to fdisk/format in DOS which does not work either. Any suggestions?

A. I'd say you have a bigger problem. Formatting isn't typically conditional. You don't complete a format, only to find that there are still files a card or drive. When a new file table is applied to a media device, it should be destroying any data on the card. I would use the Windows Disk Utility to delete the partition on that card, and then apply a new format to the drive. Do not use the Quick Format option either.

Do you think a Unix or Linux Administrator can get a job almost anywhere in the world easily?
Q. Let's say a person from America go to Asia, Europe, Africa, South America, or whatever. Do you think it would be easy to get a job since they have Linux Administration experience?

A. if you have the Linux qualifications then yes you will get a job any where in the world,
Linux runs the Internet,
Linux runs 455 of the worlds fastest top 500 HPC (High Powered Computers) Microsoft have 1 HPC in the bottom 45 (their own system)

You use Linux every day and don't know it, Linux run all domestic appliances from TV's Microwaves, Washers, Dryers, In car computers The list of embedded Linux in use is endless

Why is Linux the operating system of choice for so many electronic gadgets?
Q. i need to know why Linux is the operating system of choice for so many electronic gadgets?

A. DavoJo has a good answer, but I'm going to go a little further and mention that embedded developers have the freedom to easily compile in only the features they need, which results is a fast-booting, bloat-free, lean operating system that is still as feature-rich as they desire.

Adding drivers for specialized hardware is easier than with other systems (Greg Kroah-Hartman and his team of volunteers will even write the drivers for you if you just provide specs), so hardware compatibility is a non-issue. With the abundance of Unix and portable C software available, software compatibility is also good.

Finally, Linux is free and easy to license, as long as you don't blatantly violate the GPL. (As of now, Linux is still licensed under version 2 of the GPL, so you still have a good number of options as far as how you use it and what you use it with.)

What is the best type of linux for a beginning programmer?

Q. I just started software developing at ASU and my teacher recommends using linux over windows but I've seen all different formats and i don't know which one is the best to start off with i would be dual booting with vista 64 bit

A. For developing I would go with one of the technical distributions such as slackware or gentoo. The only thing is they are not only very UNIX-like, they are tough to wrap your brain around generally. Mark Shuttleworth, who started Ubuntu, got his start on Slackware.

Generally I would go with one with a KDE desktop. XFCE4 is nice -- that's my preferred desktop -- however KDE has a LOT tools which make programming easier. And slackware of course offers KDE and XFCE4 as its default desktops. It does not offer GNOME.

The downside of Ubuntu and its derivatives is that one of the innovations of Ubuntu is precisely that it does not offer easy access to the GNU tools, including GCC and make and gdb -- the debugger. You have to go to synaptic or open a terminal and type "sudo apt-get build-essential".

The technical linuxes, Debian, Slackware, Fedora, Gentoo -- or Linux from Scratch -- demand that you get comfortable with the command line. Nevertheless, even for a beginning programmer, I would precisely say that those are the best type of Linux -- or let's face it, GNU/Linux -- for a beginning programmer.

Also, Debian and Fedora have live CDs available, while you can get A taste of Slackware (though they don't say so) using dyne:bolic ( http://www.dynebolic.org ) or slax ( http://www.slax.org ) both of which are live cds. Therefore you can try them without installing them on your hard drive yet at all -- highly recommended.

How do you build your own motherboard and Operating System from scratch?
Q. Hello i am going to make my own computer from scratch so i need to know some information on how to make an Operating System (Without basing it from some other one, though i want it to look like Snow Leapord), and how to make my own Mother/Logic Board. If any processors will be used they will be made by INTEL. Also i would like to know any proggrams or parts i will need to buy for this mission.

Thanks,
Tech

A. (blue links below you can click on)

I think the reason you want to build a custom motherboard, is most likely that you want a board that will fit in a PVR case or a DVD player case. But, why waste years trying to develop one, when you can just buy a Mini ATX off the shelf?
http://www.johnfatica.com/custom-home-theater-pc-htpc

If you really need a custom MotherBoard, maybe contact either:
Asus: 1-888-678-3688 - http://livesupport.asus.com
Intel: 1-408-765-8080 - http://intel.com/support/feedback.htm?group=desktop
or some other company that builds them.
http://search.yahoo.com
http://yellowpages.com


I can imagine that building your own operating system (OS) is easier.

Linux is a great start for making operating systems:

What linux distribution do you recommend?
Q. If you want to learn how to adminster Linux systems properly, not simply for use as a Windows replacement?

A. This are the most common distros. I DON'T RECOMMEND ANY OF THIS to learning linux at sysadmin level:
Red hat (or centos or fedora)
Ubuntu (or Mint)
Suse

All those distros are designed to be user friendly and easy.

You need a distro that keeps configuration plain and simple, instead of trying to hide it with a nice gui.
I RECOMMEND YOU:
Arch Linux
Gentoo
linux from scratch

I have used archlinux myself, and I can tell you is really easy to learn AND does not hide any of its configuration using guis.

Archlinux has a GREAT wiki, so, even if you are going to configure all by yourself, you'll have great step-by-step guides.
I don't recommend you archbang or sabayon, since they hide their configuration, and its not what you want (You want to learn!)

And that's it. I'll leave you with this from the arch linux wiki:

Whereas many GNU/Linux distributions attempt to be more user-friendly, Arch Linux has always been, and shall always remain user-centric.
Arch Linux targets and accommodates competent GNU/Linux users by giving them complete control and responsibility over the system.
Arch Linux users fully manage the system on their own. The system itself will offer little assistance, except for a simple set of maintenance tools that are designed to perfectly relay the user's commands to the system. Arch developers do not expend energy re-inventing GUI system tools; Arch is founded upon sensible design and excellent documentation.
This user-centric design necessarily implies a certain "do-it-yourself" approach to using the Arch distribution. Rather than pursuing assistance or requesting a new feature to be implemented by developers, Arch Linux users have a tendency to solve problems themselves and share the results with the community and development team â a "do first, then ask" philosophy. This is especially true for user-contributed packages found in the Arch User Repository â the official Arch Linux repository for community-maintained packages.

How do i connect to redhat linux server by using vncviewer even user is logged out?

Q. I successfully connect to the redhat linux server by using 3rd parties vncviewer. But when the user (root) user is logged out, i am unable to establish the connection again! Why, can anyone helps on this? Because i've tried to search on the web, cant find the solution... thanks a lot....
But when the user is logged out, it cant be connected, how?

A. To start the server on the linux box, as the user type:
$ vncserver
It will come back with something like "started server on localhost:1" (I can't remember the exact syntax - the bit you are interested in is the :1)
To connect to this from another computer (running windoze, linux or any other client) you must use the :1 bit too, ie connect to:
machinename:1
Because linux is a true multiuser environment you are able to launch multiple desktops, :1, :2, :3 etc. These go over ports 5901, 5902, 5903 etc. Windoze (not being multiuser) does not allow you to start a new desktop for a VNC session and only allows you the one which goes over port 5900 and is machinename:0

How can I have both Microsoft Windows XP Professional and RedHat Linux on my computer?
Q. I have Microsoft Windows Xp professinal on my computer and I want to install RedHat Linux. I don't want to miss Windows or any other of my informations. The problem is that GRUB( Linux's default boot loader) can't can't understand that I have Windows Xp on my computer. So if I install Linux on my computer I'll miss Windows. If you know a way, please tell me.

A. yeah it can be done its called dual booting heres how

Change default boot to windows 7 instead of redhat Linux?
Q. I partitioned a small portion of my laptops hard drive to install redhat Linux, and when I start up my computer it is defaulting to Linux. How do I change this to windows 7?

A. You need to edit the GRUB configuration file. How to do this depends on whether you're using GRUB or GRUB2. If you actually installed RedHat Linux, which was discontinued in 2003, then you'd definitely be using GRUB. I think the recent versions of RedHat Enterprise Linux also still use GRUB. The link below should provide the information you need.

That said, why RedHat? RedHat Linux was discontinued in 2003, and there's little reason to purchase RHEL unless you're a business and need the support services. Fedora is essentially the same as RHEL, is sponsored by RedHat, and is free.

How do I install a program on UNIX OS?

Q. I would like to know how to install a program on Linux without having to use the software center tool, I want to install it from scratch by myself but the only issue I have is that I dont know how. That is the only thing that is holding my horses from switching to Linux or Fedora. If you could write on a step by step format it would be better for me to understand.

A. You unzip the source archive, then go to a terminal and enter:

cd [enter the location of where you put it here]
./configure
make
sudo make install

Or you may mean downloading rpm files manually, which unless you can't find what you want (you'd go to http://rpmfind.net ) is not recommended as they could've been tampered with and you also won't get updates for that package.

If you want a good amount of packages then switch to a Debian-based distro.

http://www.ubuntu.com
http://www.kubuntu.org
http://linuxmint.com
http://debian.org

How can I crack the user password on a Win2000 account?
Q. We have here at our church a donated computer on which a user account has expired. The donor, the original administrator, does not remember his password unfortunately... There are quite some important files behind this user account. I know about Linux installation etc but can't do that (don't have Linux). Starting in safe mode did not work either. Is there some program I can use?
Thanks! x D-J in L.A.

A. I have used the Offline NT Password & Registry editor at work a few times after somebody forgot the admin password.
It works really well, just follow instruction on the link below, file download is near bottom of page.
It looks alot more complicated than it really is........trust me!
All you need is to unzip and write it to floppy disk using the bat file supplied in the zip file.
Although it says NT it works on NT/2000/XP (looks into the computers SAM file which holds the passwords)

Hope this helps.

How do I install Firefox in a Linux computer?
Q. I downloaded firefox and I can't install it I open the file but I don't see any file that says Install! and it's one of those tar.bz files and I'm new to linux so I have no idea how to do it

A. Your best option is to use your Distro's "Package Manager" to install your software, rather than downloading it and installing it manually. The package manager will handle all the dependencies and related packages for you.

In Ubuntu (Each distro varies, so I'll just use this as an example, since it is the most popular distro.) you go up to the top of the screen, System, Administration, Synaptic package manager. You can type firefox in the search box, find the package that says "Firefox" click the box, tell it to install, then hit the apply button at the top. Firefox and all the related packages will automatically be downloaded and installed.

If you are using a different distro, the package manager may be called something else... It might even be labeled as add/remove programs...

If you happen to be using Gentoo, you will open up a command prompt, su to root and type:

emerge -av mozilla-firefox

Almost any other distro will have a graphical package manager already on the system that is very similar to the ubuntu manager. The exact layout and where it is found vary a little, but you shouldn't have any real problems.

To actually answer your question, however, to decompress (unzip) your file, you would open a command prompt, go to the directory where the file is (/home/"username"/Desktop if you downloaded it to your desktop) and type tar -zvxf filename.tar.bz This will extract the files into a folder caleld filename on your desktop. You can cd into that directory and look for an "installer" program and type ./installerprogramname to install. You will probably have to su to root to do so... Using the package manager saves you all this trouble, PLUS the auto-update on the system will keep firefox up to date as far as security patches are concerned.

What is the best documentation for Linux servers?

Q. Linux server with better documentation to enter the world of Linux servers.

A. Linux server? What server? Every Linux application, server or not, includes the author's documentation. There is a Linux command that specifically opens those files. It's called "man" (short for manual) like "man apache" (Apache is the worldwide leading web server to date). If you search the internet for more documentation, chances are you will be brought to a page that more or less replicates the 'man' page. There are other sites that document personal notes about installation which may or may not be useful to you and there are books that cater to specific and broad server installation procedures which more or less go back to the man page.

How do you Reboot a Macbook to use a linux server?
Q. I need to install a linux server on my macbook, but I am having trouble rebooting it and for it to recognize the server. Can someone please help me out?

A. The EFI on mac's is a little tricky to work with. A lot of good info availible on the reEFIt site. A protective MBR is probably the easiest setup to work with.

What are my options to send data securely from a vb.net application to a Linux server?
Q. It's an Ubuntu Linux server with Apache 2.2. What are my choices for sending secure SQL queries AND secure information (separate from the queries) to the server? (The server is also running MySQL and PHP, and I am very comfortable programming in both). Thanks!

A. HTTP over SSL with authentication, I presume - either using a client certificate, or a password scheme like authentication/basic . You can wrap most tcp/ip applications in SSL, so you could make direct SQL connections in principle, if MySQL is listening on the network and is suitably secured with passwords. I know that's possible in Linux, but I'm not sure what one can do in vb.net.
