help!

My pc speakers are humming and i can't make it stop!

Nxx

Unplug them! Or turn them off!

Voila!

hmmmmmmm

ok, can anyone help me to make my pc speakers normal again?

Reinstall soundcard drivers.

My cable company is stupid. It looks like I'm going to have to go wireless for a lone desktop pc. I haven't really even begun looking at wireless routers and pc cards yet. My question, are there any brands that are total shit I should avoid?

Avoid Lynksys. I hated it, and it was unrealiable

I'm running Mac OSX version 10.3.9 Moggy or whatever on my ibook, what can I safely get shot of to free up space on my teeny tiny 10 gig HD?

I *think* OSX Panther, with a healthy bank of applications, eats about 5gigs of space, give or take. So, get choosing which programs you don't want any more, I guess.

So I could dump the OS9 gubbins without causing problems. I don't use any of those apps.

I'd say so. I've certainly never used them. However, be warned that I know next to nowt about Macs, beyond what I've managed to glean from owning one for the last year or so.

If you never use any Classic apps, then yes, you can delete the "System Folder" (may be called "System Folder (OS9)" and "Applications (OS9)" folders.

DO! NOT! DELETE! the actual SYSTEM folder, or you will very probably fuck something up. The one you want has a big orange "9" on the icon. The one you *don't* want has a big blue "X".

Linksys are actually alright. I've had one of their wireless routers running for 24/7 for about three years now and I've never had a problem with it.

The only caveat to that is that if you are running a mac then you have to configure it manually which is a fecking nightmare. Apart from that, great machines.

DUMP OS9 if you don't use it. If you have a bunch of foreign keyboard layouts and foreign language kits, they can go. If you have a lot of printer drivers that you know you'll never use, they can go as well.

Be ruthless with your iTunes and depending on what software you have check your email folders on the mac for stored attachments and also converted files in Toast.

You could also downgrade the quality of your music...

I always thought it was taking the piss for being like Emo Phllips. Whoops!

"Well head to the inlet and we'll share a bottle there
And color the coast with your smile.
Its the most genuine thing I've ever seen.
I was so lost and now I believe."

What does emo actually mean> I get it's meant to stand in for whiny self-interested whiney teen loser stuff, but what do the letters "emo" actually mean? Is this one of those high-falutin musical criticism words?

It's short for 'emotional' or sometimes 'emotional hardcore'

'emotional hardcore'

Explain!

Which bit? That is what it's short for!

Hardcore in American Punk terms, naturally. It comes via bands like Weezer who are a bit punky.

I suspect the genre's drifted away from its root sound, a fair bit.

Ah, I see now. You were giving the definition of the 'emo' music type.

Carry on.

Though how you can have weepy/girlybollocks hardcore I don't know.

Interesting, it seems the word filter works on display names.

<<Linksys are actually alright. I've had one of their wireless routers running for 24/7 for about three years now and I've never had a problem with it.>>

The quality of Linksys's products has gone downhill significantly since Cisco bought them. It seems that anything that was designed before the buyout (most of the routers) is of good quality, but anything newer is suspect (all of the VPN hardware).

I have a Linksys running the hacked Sveasoft firmware. It's awesome. It has QoS builtin (so I can prioritize the bandwidth) and I can amp up the antenna power to a sterility inducing 251mw.

Interesting: I'll need to see what colour your balls go after I boot them for this.

HMIS: Assuming that my little piece of Delphi wouldn't qualify for anything above "vanity forum" status, I've been trying to install Beehive on my webserver. I've got phpMyAdmin installed but can't seem to manipulate the permissions so that I can create a database.

I have looked around the web and found lots of different ways to set up config.inc.php, but none of them seem to allow me to get rid of the "No privileges" indicator. Or should I just access MySQL from a CLI? I have no idea how to do that, by the way.

It's phpMyAdmin 2.6.4 and MySQL 3.23.54, should that matter. And I'm viewing it through Firefox 1.5.

No privileges indicator? What?

I suspect his MySQL login doesn't have CREATE DATABASE privilages.

Tsk! Pedantus, you are slipping.

Privileges.
