Rookie-ish Home Folder Question

I briefly had Ubuntu on a machine several years ago, but the hard drive failed before I had delved deeply into it. I'm going to install Mint or Ubuntu in a dual-boot w/ Win 7. I currently have the My Music and My Videos on a 2nd hard drive and plan to move the rest of My Docs there before installing Linux. Is it feasible to use this drive as my home folder? If so, will the default Music/Video/Pictures folders in the home folder identify my media, or alternately, can I configure them to use the My Music/My Video/My Pictures folders? If I can't use that drive as the home folder, can I still configure the default folders in Home to use My ****** folders? All help is…

Adjusting mouse response and tracking speed

Hi all... I have been running Linux for over a year now and have always had a problem with the mouse being way too sensitive to touch. I've been in the speed configuration and it's set to the 'slowest' value you can set. Having dealt with this ad nauseum, I'm hoping that someone will come up with a good way to do this, that works! I've seen many 'solutions', but none of them work. I've seen using 'xinput --list' used, but it's apparently not loaded and not knowing what I'm actually using seems to be a problem. I would prefer answers that let me read the docs and solve the problem instead of a quick fix as I'm sure next time I upgrade or change something it will be a…

You can now text to 911 in an emergency

Starting today, you'll be able to send a text message to 911 in an emergency situation. The service will be supported by AT&T, Sprint, Verizon and T-Mobile. Text 911 is only available in a small set of select cities to start, however it will be rolled out everywhere by the end of 2014. Using the service is easy, just send a new text message to 911 with the details of your emergency — though you'll need to remember to send your location as pinning things down over text isn't the same as it is with phone calls. You'll also be able to send a photo along with your message, though that feature isn't supported across the board just yet. You can read more on the Text…

Apple's deal to purchase Beats for $3.2 billion, which began as a rumor last week, is now reportedly being pushed back to next week. Re/code Apple's planned deal to buy Beats Electronics for $3.2 billion may not be finalized until next week, according to people familiar with the transaction. That's a longer timetable than some people expected as recently as a few days ago. While neither company has officially confirmed the talks, Dr. Dre posted a video last week in which he says that he is "the first billionaire in hip-hop." To add further fuel to the fire, a rumor from earlier this week suggested that Apple might introduce Beats founders Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovi…

First smartphone 'kill switch' bill in the US passed by… Minnesota

The Governor of Minnesota signed a new bill into law that prohibits the sale of any smartphone without anti-theft software pre-installed. The idea is to deter criminals from stealing handsets in the first place by allowing users to remotely disable and wipe a phone's data, rendering it useless. If a stolen phone is remotely disabled, there wouldn't be any monetary incentive left in the endeavour. While the legislation does not mention the exact nature of anti-theft measures that need to be installed, it does state that all devices need to be "equipped with preloaded anti-theft functionality or be capable of downloading that functionality." Similar bills are underway …
