The one thing I hate about Linux {Download Squad}
Oct 5th 2008 2:44PM Wow, that was totally not obvious. I had tried apt-get remove --purge, apt-get autoremove, and apt-get clean. But debfoster seemed to do the trick. I'll update the post, thanks!
Windows XP gets another stay of execution {Download Squad}
Oct 4th 2008 1:56PM They'll support it for existing customers. But they won't offer it for sale or downgrade after 2009/2010.
Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex beta available: Don't install it on your laptop yet {Download Squad}
Oct 3rd 2008 1:44PM My bad. I've fixed the post.
Microsoft kills Deepfish mobile browser project {Download Squad}
Oct 2nd 2008 11:53PM Sorry, that should have read, "before Opera Mini 4," which is to say, the first version of Opera Mini to support a full desktop view/zooming interface.
StumbleUpon relaunches: No browser toolbar necessary {Download Squad}
Oct 1st 2008 11:15AM Having a third party bookmarklet is not the same thing as having an official StumbleUpon feature that lets you use the service without installing any software.
What exactly did you find misleading in the article? There's a picture showing what the new JS-based toolbar looks like and a description of how it works.

Oct 1st 2008 11:06AM It's available now. Just click on any of the recommended sites to get started.
Nero announces LiquidTV: PC-based version of TiVo {Download Squad}
Sep 29th 2008 9:01AM It comes with an IR blaster which lets you control your cable box. In other words, you can record analog channels from your cable company. For encrypted digital cable you'll need a CableCARD tuner. I'm honestly a little unclear on whether LiquidTV will support CableCARD. During the presentation, someone asked the Nero rep about this, and he didn't seem certain.
New LG netbook lands gently in Korea {Engadget}
Sep 25th 2008 1:12PM I'm pretty sure that's actually the same netbook as the LG X110. It has a white case instead of metallic, but otherwise it looks virtually identical to the pictures of the LX110 that I've seen.
Run Linux LiveCDs in Windows with MobaLiveCD {Download Squad}
Sep 22nd 2008 10:47PM If your machine has just 128MB of RAM you may be able to install Mandriva or another Linux distro on it, but I wouldn't expect a virtualization application like MobaLiveCD or VirtualBox to be much use. Essentially they let you run an entire operating system (in this case, Linux) inside another operating system (like Windows). And that takes a whole lot of RAM to do properly.
Your best bet is to download the Mandriva disc image, burn it to a CD and boot your computer from that CD. Even that might not work, because the idea of a LiveCD is that the operating system will be loaded into RAM. If your PC doesn't have much RAM, you might not have a lot of luck with a large Linux distro. You might want to try something lighter weight like Puppy Linux, Damn Small Linux, or Feather Linux.
Joost take 2: This time it's in-browser video {Download Squad}
Sep 18th 2008 1:16PM Excellent point. But it's a plugin that most people have already installed.
