Quoting Mark Shuttleworth

Quote:
The Lynx is a predator that depends on very considered tactical positioning for success. It’s a small cat, which fits nicely with the lean nature of Ubuntu on both the desktop and the server. It’s stylish and sleek, the bow-tie-adorned James Bond of the feline set, so you can bet we’ll make sure it’s dressed for the occasion. The lynx likes to keep things in perspective, sticking to high ground. So do we. And it’s the national animal of Macedonia, a country that has deployed tens of thousands of Ubuntu desktops in schools.
Speed is an essential ingredient in the attack of a lynx, and speed remains our goal. We have improved the boot time in each of the releases during this era of Ubuntu, and expect to complete some of the major improvements required for 10 second booting with Lucid. Fully harnessing Upstart, in collaboration with Debian, will get us even closer to the goal.

Stardock released WindowBlinds 7 today. WindowBlinds is a program that allows users to customize the user interface of Microsoft Windows. By applying “skins,” WindowBlinds can easily change nearly every element of the Windows experience including the task bar, Start menu, window borders, scrollbars, push buttons, and much more.


WindowBlinds 7 includes a host of new features and adds native support for Windows 7. Amongst its new features is the ability to “skin Aero.” WindowBlinds 7 includes a new configuration program that makes it easy to access the new features of the program. For example, users can now add their own textures to existing skins.

Am facing a weird problem. My motherboard makes three attempts to boot then goes to the OS.

1. Attempt one:
All fans and LEDs come on for two seconds. No display to screen. Then all goes off for 2 seconds.

2. Attempt two:
All fans and LEDs come on for 6-7 seconds. No display to screen. Then all goes off for 2 seconds.

3. Attempt three:
Boots to the desktop normally.

This only happens when power is 'cut' to the PSU. Meaning, if the computer is off, but the UPS is 'on' (so there is current in the PSU), and then I power on the system, it is normal. But when I totally switch of supply, turn the UPS OFF, then the above happens.

What could be the reason for this. No issues while working/gaming. No system lock or BSOD/Crash.

Well, so I've been using the HD5850 for the past week...and this is the first time for me with a high-end GPU , or actually any end GPU(earlier i waz with a 6200TC lol!!!!)

- I had 10 days of time with the Athlon II X4 620 before that, and now after all the tweaks, i've set a decently low vcore, yet with 100% stability.. At 23C ambient, the processor doesn't even cross 37C at FULL LOAD.....

- Dunno why people complain about seagate but this 7200.12 baby rocks

- BenQ G2220HD, where were u earlier..I thought switching to LCD from CRT wud diminish quality, but boy was I wrong...and watching 480p and 720p movies is a treat to the eyes(especially with upscaling feature of GPU)..

- Logitech MX518, with all the buttons and DPi profiles, every game, RTS FPS whichever can be enjoyed to the fullest and most comfortably...



- CM Elite 334 ,I know I know, bad cable management...Dam I wish i had bought a CM 590 instead...but still, this cabby does the job...and it all fits in, although I had to install the HDD on a lower rack......

- Corsair VX550W , needs no introduction

- Corsair 1600MHz titanium....the casing for the ram looks downright sexy....and the memory clocks more than 1800MHz(tried a li'l OC venture with the CPU, but no screenies, it was about a 5 minute ride only...)...running it at 1333MHz and a lower voltage of 1.59V as I don't see any performance increase at FULL HD gaming with 16000MHz

- HD5850
Well, the queen bee in this rig.....i guess all of u guys hav read the reviews of this card already....
I cud OC the card to the max 775MHz and 1150Mhz on CCC OverDrive using Auto-Tune, didn't go any higher.
At 30% fan speed idling, the temps are at an amazing low 38C(ambient 23C)
While gaming the speed is 55%, and max temp WAS 65C...

Yeah, why WAS with big bold huh??? Well, I downloaded MSI After Burner and successfully reduced the CoreVoltage to 1.062V from 1.088V (HD5970 has a 1.05V CoreVoltage).....I did 1.049V but it wasn't stable.....
After that stint, while playing the same part in CRYSIS(the scene of the beach, 1st level).............and the rest of the level for a total of 20 mins, the results were:-

Earlier - Load 65C
Now - Load 58C

Yea I know, the temp drop is 7C.............


That's about it, sorry no benchmarks but I'll try to post if possible.... ]]> Reviews comp@ddict http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=122638 Comp not booting up help! http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=122637&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 07:36:00 GMT Hi guys,
My computer just refuses to boot up. Last night i switched on my comp, selected Win 7(dual booting of 7 & XP) and when it was loading Win 7, it gave me a message that there's some prob with the hard disk and its scanning for errors. After the scanning was finished, it asked me to restart which i did but since then, its not even going to the boot loader screen where it asks you to select the OS. My bro told me that earlier in the day yest the same thing had happened and it worked perfectly after the restart. But now the screen just remains blank the even the hard disk light on the CPU doesnt light up.

In order to check if my hard disk has crashed, i booted up the comp using an ubuntu 7.1 CD that i have. I ran a live session and it is showing all the drives and the folders in the HD, so im sure it hasn't crashed.

What could be the prob guys, is the boot loader file corrupted or something? Can i repair it? Please help. I also have no idea what error Win 7 was referring to as the it worked properly when i ran it 2 days back.

My specs are: Core2Duo 2.66 ghz, 2 GB RAM, 320 GB WD HD, dual booting of XP n Win 7 ]]> Software Troubleshooting vigneshnm http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=122637 Please suggest some good music collection to be played in weddings parties(soft) http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=122636&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 07:15:09 GMT For wedding can someone suggest good music which is soft and preferably instrumental.
