pale Moon is not too bad with the exception that it does not render some websites completely. The result is that some webpages have no graphic content at all and only contain text-style links. I thought of removing the browser, but instead decided to re-purpose it. I am using Palemoon as a Puppy Lin...

Any ideas on installing the latest Chrome browser? I tried last night and it locked up the entire OS. I had to do a panic reboot with the power button.

All the best Noobie.
Try to relax and get well. Some Stieg Larsson books might help

Should Barry copyright Puppy Linux and then charge for it? If you don't want something stolen, don't put it on the Internet. :) Copyright isn't a dirty word. I'm not against copyright so much as the bizarre thing that lawyers have turned it into: Example: Susan invents something which directly impr...

Same goes for people

exactly, I would not be surprised if my old Carver (US made) stereo amp will outperform almost anything newer

lawmakers in the US seem to mostly care about pleasing big companies who donate huge amounts of money to their election campaigns.

Ray Kurzweil believes that in the very near future, even agriculture will be fully automated. These changes will require that "work" and perhaps societies are totally redefined.

"So if Cliven Bundy wishes to pay taxes or grazing fees—he should pay it to the Shoshone." It's my understanding that he has been paying fees, to Clark county rather than the Federal government because he knows that Clark County won't cash them. This man is an amateur con artist, but some...

Hmmm, everytime I have been underpaid, I either negotiated more money, or left for another job that paid more. This works well if the economy is doing well. I remember threatening to leave IBM if they did not give me a raise and they responded rapidly. Right now in the US, job hopping is a bit hard...

My Ex. does nice stuff....

Thanks gentlemen and scholars. But electricity is one of those areas where it is obvious that only God knows the answers. :-) When I was on one of the R&D teams I have been involved in, a mechanical engineer with a doctorate wanted to know how it was that I understood "all that arcane and ...

I can provide some trustworthy data about how many scientists back the current warming trend. I love the intimation that all of the scientists who back this are somehow politically motivated. Perhaps you're right, about political affiliation, but only to the extent that the majority of scientists po...

I had to have a voltage regulator inside the candy box. Did you use an 'of-the-shelf' regulator of some kind, or build one from discrete components? I am currently wanting to build a regulated +5v usb power supply that I can drive from the 15v input to my Toshiba laptop (don't get enough power from...

I built a rechargeable battery pack and put it in a candy tin. It has a USB output so I can plug many things into it, but my main rule when putting this together was that I had to have a voltage regulator inside the candy box. I do not care for surprises and have no intention of "letting the sm...

I will have to look into this. I use "tunein" as an app on Android and login from a webpage on the laptop, because of the amazing amount of radio and podcast material it will find.

@ Nooby: you should be able to run almost anything you want in a virtual box no matter what the host is. That is, if your puter has enough horsepower. I tend to prefer Vmware player because I use it at work and am more comfortable in that environment. Also, I can call up an operating system easily i...
