WTF Desktop Environments: GNOME, KDE, and More Explained Actually, these probably should be addressed. Thanks for pointing out that I wasn't exactly clear. There's a fine line between simplifying something so people can understand it and actually saying something that isn't quite right. I'll fix it. Honestly, you're close enough to the mark, especially for an introduction to the concepts. It's hard to get into this sort of thing without really complicating an already messy subject. Since I already have it on my mind, some extra clarification about the difference in an app being part of a DE versus being made with the same toolkit: Visually, toolkits make apps seem native in an environment made with the same toolkit, even when they don't have the special bits that make something "GNOME" instead of "Gtk". Basically, you get access to fun toys to put in your program at the cost of being tied closer to a specific environment. Edit: Just saw the changed version and I think the wording actually ended up better as a result.
File Sharing With OS X 10.5 - Share Mac Files with Windows XP Setting up Leopard (OS X 10.5) to share files with a PC running Windows XP is a fairly straightforward process, but like any networking task, it's helpful to understand how the underlying process works. Beginning with Leopard, Apple reconfigured the way Windows file sharing is set up. Instead of having separate Mac file sharing and Windows file sharing control panels, Apple placed all file sharing processes in one system preference, making it easy to set up and configure file sharing. In ‘File Sharing With OS X 10.5 - Share Mac Files with Windows XP’ we will take you through the entire process of configuring your Mac to share files with a PC. We'll also describe some of the basic issues you may encounter along the way. What You Will Need A Mac running OS X 10.5 or later.
Free Getting Started with Ubuntu Manual Helps Out Linux Rookies @Shadow-Lurker: 90% of all computer users dont need that. All they need is the basics to do what they did under windows. Remember most users are not high end power users like you. Most want to go to facebook, play farmville, and watch youtube... that's it. @timgray: I agree, and I may have clouded optimistic vision, but I don't believe linux is the best option for that, and I am wondering what the appeal is that actually makes people switch. I would imagine that people who want the basics would take something like Windows or OS X; not that they're necessarily more user friendly, but usually easier to get support for. My (again, probably clouded and optimistic) view is that Linux requires a more "readiness" to use than other OSes. Thinking back on that last paragraph, I have to admit this is unlikely to be true for any OS with a majority of users, so I suppose you are right, but I still wonder what the appeal of linux to these users is. @Shadow-Lurker: BTW, I don't say that derogatorily.

Stupid Geek Tricks: Hide Data in a Secret Text File Compartment In today’s edition of Stupid Geek Tricks (where we show off little-known tricks to impress your non-geek friends), we’ll learn how to hide data in a text file that can’t be seen by anybody else unless they know the name of the secret compartment. Note: This article was originally written a couple of years ago, but we’ve updated and polished it for Windows 7, and we’re sharing it with all the new readers again. Here’s How it Works Ever since Windows 2000, the NTFS file system in Windows has supported Alternate Data Streams, which allow you to store data “behind” a filename with the use of a stream name. You can think of these extra streams as secret compartments within the file that can only be accessed if you know the “secret code,” which in this case is just the name of the stream. This isn’t a completely secure way to hide data as we’ll illustrate below, but it’s a fun trick to know about in a pinch. Note: This only works on a drive formatted with NTFS. Hiding Data in a Secret Compartment

Quick Digital Makeup Tips To Make Yourself Look Ten Years Younger It may not be a fountain of youth, but Photoshop is the secret of beauty experts everywhere. Here’s some tips on how to reduce wrinkles and make the people in your pictures look younger in virtually no time at all. Whatever you might think about using photo editors to create an unrealistic standard of beauty, the fact remains is that it’s done every day by professional image editors. How To Take Years off of a Face We’ll be covering three easy tips to make faces look younger while keeping an image looking realistic. Tip One: Reducing Wrinkles The common denominator of most wrinkles is that they’re darker than the rest of the skin tones. Obvious methods, like using the dodge tool (Shortcut key )can sometimes be effective, but will desaturate your image. If this desaturation is okay with you, you can use the dodge with the setting on “Shadows” as shown above to affect the darkest areas the most. Try this instead: Since the desturation isn’t okay, this method is slicker and more professional.
