I have a Samsung SyncMaster 204B, but it is on a Windows PC.
As for the frequency, 60 Hz is not good in close proximity to
fluorescent lights.
I had a lot of visual defects in two different units, until I changed
to 120 Hz(I think).

I actually have played pong on a monitor like that back in my DEC daze. What's even more amusing is the paper tape loader to the right of the monitor. It sure relieved you of toggling in the boot loader. We would actually repair some of the paper tapes.

Well, I purchased a Rosewill RC-608 ExpressCard to CardBus Adapter but
apparently linux doesn't support it. When I plug it in with the
slimscsi card I get:

I'm assuming "pciehp: Could not get hotplug parameters" means it is
not supported. If anyone has suggestions on how to get it to work let
me know.

I installed fedora 11 on my old laptop and turned back on glitch free
audio. It almost works perfectly. Sufficient that I probably
wouldn't bother turning it off now.
I think the hard drive is starting to fail so I decided to purchase a
new laptop. Since I'd like some 3D functionality now I decided to go
with the Intel GMA X4500. Unfortunately Fedora 11 stumbled here. I
thought the picture quality wasn't very good and found it was using
the vesa drivers not the intel drivers. …
[View More]Searching found that others
had the same issue but it worked on Fedora 10. Tried a Fedora 10 live
CD and the display was nice and sharp. Modified the xorg.conf to use
the intel drivers and Fedora 11 also became nice and sharp.
Anyway onto my question, has anyone played with the mingw32 cross
compiler on Fedora 11? I've created a simple hello world app and
cmake file (since I hate autotools). I've got it compiling by
creating a Toolchain file but it seems like that is something that
should be provided with the mingw32. Is there a standard Toolchain
file somewhere and I just haven't found it?

Hi all,
Thanks for your helpful postings. I'm coming back to ask further help
in sharpening issues before me.. I see four now:
1. Understanding the machine
Wanting a more general perspective that will help me anticipate and
navigate OS issues as they arise. Just ordered
http://www.amazon.com/Write-Great-Code-Understanding-Machine/dp/1593270038/…
Anyone have reading (book, online) suggestions geared at accessible
intro level? More intermediate level?
2. Getting a machine
Freedom of …
[View More]choice in the component market is overwhelming. A curse,
actually. I'd be losing significant time just learning how to spec a
system.
In the Worcester area, is there anyone I can pay to put together a
machine for me with some bit of craftsmanship and reliability? That
way I can have substantially more control over machine quality. Do any
of you have a favorite components list? I'd be most interested in a
machine designed for silence, and I'm quite willing to study up on
that issue.. fan noise drives me nuts when I'm coding.
What do you think about this workaround --
http://www.inatux.com/order These are FSF/FOSS people. I can't see
a need for a super fast system yet, as I can't say yet where my
project interests will gravitate. In light of that, since optimality
makes no sense, what machine specs do you think would be “good
enough”? Desirable packages to install?
And, for cable broadband and live streaming of audio and video, what
combination or package(s) of HW ad SW should I ask for. Wired case?
Wireless case?
3. YOUR advice for a would be hacker?
I wonder how folks in this forum might vary from the following
position. Would you prioritize or sequence things differently?
“Start out by learning bash, then set up your own Unix environment.
This is a biggie. PC-BSD works fine. Learn to use it for your everyday
tasks, learn how to administrate it and keep it up to date and secure.
Then, when you've done that, start in with Python. Solve the Project
Euler problems in whatever language you're learning. Learn which
languages are better suited for particular problems. Learn about
security in programs, vulnerabilities and how to exploit them. Read
other people's code and post your own. Learn the low-level stuff
later.”
4. What Linux distribution would you pair with Unix?
And, what will I learn from one that I don't learn from the other?
Thanks, in advance, for thoughts, reactions, give and take!
Brian

HI Everybody,
This is the first in an infinite series of reminders about our upcoming
WLUG meeting. It will be held on Thursday, August 20th, at 7:00 PM on
the WPI campus in Worcester, MA USA.
Note that we will be meeting in a different meeting room. The Access
Grid room has been recently dismantled and is no longer available for
our meetings. Chuck Anderson has secured our use of Salisbury Labs Room
104 (thanks, Chuck!!) for this meeting. …
[View More]Please note that the website
has updated directions for this meeting location.
Our guest speaker at this meeting will be Jon 'maddog' Hall, and he will
be speaking on the topic of "Making Money from Free Software". This
promises to be an excellent meeting that you won't want to miss.
After the meeting, we'll adjourn to the pizza restaurant (Tech Pizza on
Highland Street) for our usual sodas, pizza, and great conversation.
I look forward to seeing you at the next meeting.
See ya later,
Andy

The Program Committee for the 2nd USENIX Workshop on Hot Topics in
Parallelism (HotPar '10) invites you to submit position papers.
HotPar '10 will bring together researchers and practitioners doing
innovative work in the area of parallel computing. HotPar recognizes the
broad impact of multicore computing and seeks relevant contributions in
all fields, including application design, languages and compilers,
systems, and architecture.
We request submissions of position papers that propose new …
[View More]directions
for research of products in these areas, advocate non-traditional
approaches to the problems engendered by parallelism, or potentially
generate controversy and discussion.
Submissions are due January 24, 2010.
More information and submission guidelines are available at
http://www.usenix.org/hotpar10/cfpa
We look forward to receiving your submissions!
