I want to install linux without a GUI (GNOME, KDE, etc.), but still want to use GUI based applications (Firefox, OpenOffice, etc.). Is there anyway of doing this? I was thinking I could just simply compile my OS with X Window System and some appropiate extentions, but I'm not entirelly sure if that would work.

Topic is very informative. Thanks. car insurance ny

This is a project I have been working on. It is a scripting language written in C++. It currently is almost fully functional. (It doesn't support ifs whiles or declaring functions or classes.) I am looking at expanding the library. I already plan on making a GUI and IO library with wxWidgets. I currently need the following.

• A string replace algorithm
• A regular expression library
• Anything else that might be useful

Thank you.

Yeah, I wanted to make something for the platform and wanted to see the source for the menu to get inspiration, when captain obvious shot me with a hand gun and I realized I didn't know Delphi commands. I couldn't find anything in the library catalog, and I couldn't find anything on the internet other than an online manual for Delphi 4. I realized that John would know this, but he doesn't regularly post here. So here is my question:
Does anybody got a good online manual of Delphi (Link Please) and a link to a free compiler?

Ok, ive been searching and have found over 1000000 digits:

check out them apples, can anyone find more?

I have a Corsair VoyagerGT USB stick (16GB flash), and I must say I'm pretty displeased with the write behaviour of the device. Whenever I write to the device everything stops and my apps seem to hang for some moments (5-10 seconds usually).

Is there anything to do about this, or is it just a stick with poor performance?

If it is the stick, do any of you have suggestions for a USB stick which doesn't block like this when you write to it?

The bigger the size, the better of course. If the stick has AES hardware encryption it is even better.

have you checked your website lately, they dont exist. i have tried my temporary site on comphost as well as PTMB's site and they arent there. it says that you are viewing the old site and will redirect you and then your browser will most likely crash! i am trying to figure out what happened so i will get back to you guys on that.

I need a good wish...
Oh, I finished looking up all 60 words in Chinese (you have to find the radical, count strokes, sometimes the whole word is a radical, etc.)

Hi all. I am new and I have to admit a dunce when it comes to the computer world. Most of what I have learnt has been trial and error. My question is I seem to have problems with certain sites and IEXPLORE.EXE error appears and my site closes down - I am not able to pay to have the errors fixed is there another way of fixing my problem?
Appreciate any advice.

How does one detect a fake memory stick or flash drive. i know some of the obvious signs. The deal being too good (IE 16GB thumb drive for 10 dollars), Floppy drive slow write read times, Random corrupt files and the obvious look (Hmm Lexar is misspelled a Iexor... hmm :| )

I found a program out there that allows one to reformat a thumb drive to what ever size you want... but it isnt open source and is windows only and i run linux.
