  1. Lapjacks modification stickers - your own designs on How Do I Make My Netbook More Manly? · · Score: 1

    I know a nice sticker company called Lapjacks -

    http://www.lapjacks.com/

    They manufacture and send pre-fabricated designs or your designs scaled to your specs and gadgets :)

    You can modify their designs or upload your own, that is then fabricated and send to you in the mail :)

  2. Outblaze on Email-only Providers? · · Score: 1

    Outblaze which runs the free www.linuxmail.org (with pay-for extra services as space and IMAP funtionality) is one of the world's largest and (said to be) most reliable providers of e-mail service.

    You can check their product pages here:

    http://www.outblaze.com/product/prod_info.php

    I have been using (and paying for) their services for almost 8 years now. And I don't have a single complaint on both their free e-mail service, or their paid-for services at all :)

  3. AnyDVD from Slysoft on RealNetworks To Introduce a Simple DVD Copier · · Score: 1

    Slysofts AnyDVD (perhaps combined with their CloneDVD)can already very easily do that job for you backing up your DVD's to 1-1 images - if DVD-shrink or DVD-Decrypter fails to do the job. That one can also back up HD-DVD and Blu-Ray discs with an extra add-on package (which all is allowed for personal backups in Denmark where I live). I like those the most cause they make 1-1 images than aren't compressed and they are really easy to use. Just click rip DVD/DISC to image (or files if you would like so). And AnyDVD does the job on an old P-4 2.4 Ghz with 1 gig ram and XP Pro to a USB disk I have in 16-30 minutes per DVD.

  4. Oil filled cube with spring suspension on Coating a Motherboard In Thermal Resin? · · Score: 1

    I once saw on the net somebody who made a video of them immersing an entire setup (except the PSU) into heat conducting non-electrical conducting oil for a serious overclocking attempt. Of course all chipset and graphics card fans were removed or deactivated. That worked great for the heat. If one could suspend a computer setup in an oil cube casing then it would get both superior cooling and also be very schock absorbing. That would also open up for a pump or sort of external oil cooling system to be used, if the heat exceeds the oils capacity to coll the setup. So if you imagine 8 springs holding a mouting backet/plate in mid air attached to the 8 corners (and perhaps a couple of sides) inside a closed cube that is filled with high density non-electrical conduting oil and having no air (cube filled to max. possible) , then thats my idea to make a schock absorbing, high cooling solution. Of course this would also call for the usage of solid state disks, since they don't rotate and need a breathing hole. And SSD's are very shock proff too :)

  5. Also affects WoW players... on ISP Dispute Causing Connectivity Issues for Customers · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Also no one playing World of Warcraft using Cogent as ISP can connect to any WoW servers, since Blizzard use Telia's backbone...
    This is listed in-game in WoW currently at the login screen.

  6. Yeah some news... on Microsoft Unveils A Designer Mouse · · Score: 2, Interesting

    We've had that Stark mouse here in Denmark for well over a month. My girlfriend bougth one because it looks nice, but shes says it works like sh** com pared to her Logitech Mouseman Traveler mouse.

  7. Try DLT tapes and Bakbone's NetVault on Advice on Remote Backup Services? · · Score: 1

    I recommend NetVault's software Bakbone. It's cheap and I've used it alot. DLT tapes and drives are expensive - nearly 100 USD for a tape and over 1000 USD for a station - but very fast and stable. You could also do backup to IDE-disks with NetVault. By far NetVault is the most flexible and less expensive (1000 USD approx. for a 5 server license )product I have ever seen or worked with. See http://www.bakbone.com for details.

  8. My question... on Talk It Over With Captain Crunch · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Do you think your former actions in any way have affected the way big telecommunications providers look at themselves, their services and specially how their attitude and feeling of/behaving like they are always more right and migthier than the normal costumer ? And if so, what did you achive to change, even this was an uninteded side-effect of your former actions ?

  9. Its _not_ new... on First Certified DivX/DVD Player Released · · Score: 1

    Well, the players have been out for half a year now, so there's nothing new about them, actually...
