Totakeke423 Yes, you can run an OS off of a flash drive (Particularly Linux. Windows is a different can of worms, though). While you can do it, it isn't recommended, because flash drives have limited read/write cycles. tmp files and swap files (particularly on Linux, as...

antivirus protection

Totakeke423 I like Kaspersky. I'm using the Internet version, which includes antivirus and a firewall, and it's the best antivirus I've ever used. It doesn't hog resources (which is good because I'm a gamer), has a slick, clean interface, gives you a lot of control, and...

Can you live with computers without Windows?

wrangel15 @wrangel15 (1443) • Philippines 13 Nov 08

I believe many of us are still using Windows as Operating System (OS). Or maybe, are used to Windows and are now using other OS. Windows is really user-friendly and many people prefer to use it. Are you also used to Windows?

Totakeke423 I'm used to Windows, but personally, I hate it. I think it is one of the worst operating systems ever created. Here's why. First, I'm sick of restarting. Every time something updates, every time I install something, or every time something freezes for no...

Things you do while booting up your computer

2timothy @2timothy (794) • Philippines 13 Nov 08

It takes about a minute for my computer to boot up in the morning, and I usually take a sip and a pee before sitting down for work. How about you, what do you do besides wait and wait?

Totakeke423 Usually when I put my computer on I'm just getting home. So I turn mine on right as I get inside, and then I usually do stuff I'd normally do when getting home, such as putting my coat away (at least in winter), grabbing a soda, checking the answering machine,...

The anti viruses.

George C @geojb90 (470) • Galati, Romania 12 Nov 08

Where I live there is a problem with anti viruses. Everyone is looking for something better then another. They all ask each other what anti virus they use, what can it do etc. etc. I think that anti viruses are stupid. From my...

Totakeke423 I disagree (well, a little). If you have a Windows box, antivirus is absolutely essential; there's no doubting it. Even though "working clean" is the best way to prevent getting a virus, there are always ways you can get one, such as from a website that got...

Totakeke423 My favorite would have to be interacting with computers or other devices with your brain. There's a company that will soon (within the next month or two) start selling their Emotiv Epoc headset that recognizes 14 cognitive states (such as up, down, left,...

Totakeke423 @Totakeke423 (18) • United States 9 Nov 08

I know this isn't a hot topic right now (politically), but I think it's still important, and it's about the US becoming a metric country. I just want to know, what do you think? Is there anyone out there who agrees with me?...

Totakeke423 Which do I use most often (more like forced to use)? Windows Vista. Which do I prefer? Linux. Let me explain. I like Windows because I'm a gamer. I hate to say it, but there aren't too many game developers who support Linux right now. This also applies to...

Totakeke423 I always get my computer parts from newegg.com. I don't think they ship outside of the US. Luckily, though, they also have a website called newegg.ca. Their shipping is quick and reliable, their RMA policy is the best there is, and they're really cheap. I...

Totakeke423 You can increase the number of ports with something called a USB hub. It commonly comes with 4 extra ports, which you plug into an existing USB port. I recommend that you get a powered USB hub, one that comes with a power cord and plugs into the wall,...

Totakeke423 It really depends. I've used both operating systems and they both have their advantages and disadvantages. What people say about Linux is wrong; it is a very user-friendly OS and has a strong community. And since it's all open-source, by the time there's a bug...

Totakeke423 I don't use any CRT monitors, for a few reasons. 1. They're bulky. 2. They're heavy. 3. They're not wide screen. 4. They're full of toxic chemicals. (This only applies when you're getting rid of it) I really like the size of my flat screen. It's a...

Totakeke423 Yes, I use Vista Ultimate. Do I like it? Yes and no. I like it just because it's the newest system (I always have to be on the cutting edge.) and because it looks good. I'm a sucker for the eye candy and the shiny-ness. I'm also just sick of XP. I'm sick of...
