Analog Tachometer PC Mod
greenape147 writes: "BurnOutPC has this review of a tachometer modification for your PC. The tachometer, made and sold by Xoxide, works via the serial port and displays the CPU utilization in RPM's! The classical look of this external tachometer is really nice to see after the "window phase" everyone seems to be going through. Not to mention the fact that analog meters are so fun to watch. Currently supported in Windows NT/2000/XP, a GNU/Linux driver is in the works."

are you a moron ?
it doesn't widen the pages at all
are you using some shit microsoft browser ?
Sorry about this, my co-worker thought it would be oh-so-funny to use my browser when I was away, and being a recent /. convert what else would he try to do?
/. is all this FP stuff... anyway it is so widely known that I guess it has become an integral part of /., and something thatn most ppl would strange if it stopped happening :)
:)
It's interesting that the thing most new ppl know about
I guess there could be a new subsription option... FP that couldn't get modded down AND that if indeed first post would give a bonus of +50 page views
cheers,

THE PAGE WIDENING CRAPFLOOD WILL CONTINUE UNTIL JAMIE FIXES THE BUG. Should take
him all of about 5 minutes. Why wont he do it?
and especially (not expecially)...
Her is the solution for you : put it in your ass and say "I'm a big faggot"
Yeah drug sale mixtures for weed drive me up the wall. You usually buy in grams for your daily needs but the next step up is an eighth. An eighth is 1/8 of an ounce or approx 3.2 grams. The next step up after thaty is an ounce. But then you often go back to kilos. Its nuts.There needs to be an ISO standard for drug measurements.
Why not fork?
Given that most readers ignore the ability to exploit such a simple and fixable bug, one can only conclude that you have nothing better to do than produce the equivalent of a new born infant playing in his own shit. If that is amuses you, it is also obvious it only amuses you and and slowly growing band of like minded individuals. (Last count 2 and growing, maybe there may be even ten out there who can emulate your prodigious mental feats).
Microsoft - Where would you like to go today, Maybe Jail?
What? No!<br><br>

Just because you drive an obsolete stock Mazda with a high-output yet delicate-as-eggshells Wankel engine, you feel you have the right to make racist comments about other cars?
there's millions of starving children in, um, I forget where. Isn't there a better use of time and money then yet another useless case mod? Its ironic that whatever drivers you throw on top to monitor performance are going to have -some- sort of hit.
None of this will make you a better person, clear up your acne or get you laid...
Anyone with an extra $50 burning that large a hole in their pocket should feel free to contact me and I'll give you a few worthy charities who could more deservingly use the cash.
