    Devoting an OS just for a few applications?

    You will be booting windows and then starting any given program. What do you mean by writing to the ROM files? And can you please share what are you trying to do in a bit more detail. Thank you.

    Dell Latitude CS + XP install + Wont boot, Now dead

    What failures were you getting in the initial install? I suspect there is a physical problem with the hard drive. Either ways check whether the bootable disk you are using is actually bootable by using it on a different computer and booting from it. And the disk is compatible with the Optical...

    ESPN3 crashes in Google Chrome

    Is it just ESPN or other websites with video players? Side note: weird, I faced a lot of flash issues on 10.04 Ubuntu amd64, but worked perfectly on 32bit.

    Signature based IDS

    How are you planning to build your own IDS? What do you have in mind? (program it?) I just checked out CAPEC right now, it looks more like a dataset of Attack patterns, use case being classification of an attack pattern detected by the IDS.

    How can you get more characters than there are Bytes?

    He/She has more than answered your question. I would suggest reading up on character encoding more. Its a very interesting topic(I ask it a lot during interviews), even databases use it for some minor compression. I am not too sure about Excel but Libre Office offers you to choose encoding...

    Problem with thermal gel

    Thermal paste application is tricky. You want to avoid formation of air bubbles, since air is not the best conductor of heat, and also you need a uniform thickness application for the best results. I am sure we had a guide around on thermal paste application.(can't find it) Also re-application...

    Viewing the Code behind Java's Predefined Elements

    You can download the JDK source code and checkout the function definitions there. http://download.java.net/openjdk/jdk7/ But I would suggest being abstracted from all that since that code is written over a lot of time, and when starting off with a new language it can become scary to see the...

    New Xbox revealed!

    WRONG. And the extra features which escalate the prices are also not needed by many. They should be optional like in all the previous generations. If you are ready to pay $100, you cannot extrapolate it to all the people. In a similar way I cannot extrapolate my desire of not paying the...

    New Xbox revealed!

    I have never been a fan of the XBOX. But the new XBOX is just plain ridiculous. It actually makes the PS4 look a ton better because Sony did not add anything extra other than the usual system upgrade, but Sony also took out backward compatibility, but still people cheered Sony's announcement...

    Is the iPhone 5 really worth it?

    That is exactly where a geek differs from a noob. A geek likes to experiment with his phone. Flashing roms is fun. Using different types of UIs and everything. If you like the UI of the iphone so much then with an android phone you can get the same UI on a better and bigger screen with faster...
