you should be able to switch display mode using Fn key and F10 or F12 or something (it is a key that has a box > solid box on it) without having to tell the OS that you want to use an external monitor. If that does not work, then you will need to wait for someone else who knows ubuntu better to help you.

overlooking the information itself being there, someone's actual works should definately be credited or it is all for naught.

i remember with my dell a few years back, i upgraded processors and I messed up the computer (exhibits same problems as you did--turns on but "nothing" happens) I gave it a week w/o power and it was fine after that. So, you could play the waiting game and see what happens in a week.

If that is not an option, you can try to reset the CMOS settings. There is usually a jumper you have to enable for 5 seconds to do the job. You need to consult your motherboard manual to see where it is. If you have a good motherboard, one of the jumpers should be labeled descriptive enough to tell you what it does.

Other things you can try is to remove your memory and see if your computer responds to that. If the proc isn't dead, the computer will respond. My processor died about 1 year ago and I removed all components off the motherboard and it didn't complain about NOT having memory. So, that is a test you can do to see if your processor is dead.

Win(d)Hex32 is great if you do a ton of text-related work and its a good all-purpose hex editor as well. It's liked a beefed up Thingy32.

Donkey Kong Country

  No wonder I couldn't find any reslembances of a level in WRAM.

  There are several long levels stored fully expanded in the ROM.

  I actually realized they were levels a long time ago, but didn't know

  how they were stored. Compared to normal, they look like they're stored

  sideways and backwards, with each of 16 words actually being a vertical

  column in the level. The lowest address is the top left of the level.

  The highest address is the bottom right. Each word forward is one tile

  down. Every 16 words forward is a tile to the right. I still don't know

  how the odd shaped levels are stored, but probably something like

  "Mario World 2" where pieces are joined together. Most games use 16x16

  level tiles, but DKC uses large 32x32 tiles (made of 16 8x8 graphics tiles).

Hello there, long time no see By the way you guys are doing amazing hacks, many of you have great design talent

Here is a silly screenshot of a Mario 64 hack I made.



I call this one: "Too many Yoshies"

The game slows down to a crawl when there are too many Yoshies! You can go talk to each one and they'll tell you the same story, then jump in the waterfall and disappear. Actually that's why I had to put the Yoshies on the roof, because they disappear when they are lower than a certain Y coordinate.

For the record, I would like to say that this was probably the shittiest movie I have ever seen in my entire life. The plot, was so amazingly bad, everything else about the movie was asspowered.

Yeah, previews made it look interesting, and I was curious about it. But, wow.

I guess it was worth it though. My friends and I walked out dying from laughter because we all agreed "Wow, that was probably the worst movie I've ever seen".

It was bad.

I'd give it a 0 out of 5. Heh.

I've never seen anything else posted by Gavin, if he's joking, that's a good thing.

Who in their right mind would condone torture under any circumstances?

---

Even as the generally moral person that I'd consider myself to be, I cannot bring myself to entirely reject the notion of torture. Surely it is nothing short of inhumane when used as a method of punishment, but can you not imagine a circumstance where it would somehow be justified? It is appalling to be forced to think that way, but we must all consider, for example, a case where a person holds information that can save the lives of many. Is that person's well-being - not even his life, mind you, just his safety from torture - not justifiably sacrificed?

In a way I find myself playing Devil's advocate here, but not without thoughtfully considering all options myself.

You can actually run Win XP on it if you wanted to. But I would advise upgradeing your memory to at least 256 for that. If you want to try something new I would try "Ubuntu"

it's a new OS base on linux and so far I like it pretty well.
