  1. Where are all the hacks? on The PSP's Birthday Party · · Score: 5, Funny

    Where are the PSP emulators? Where are the mod chips? Where are the programs that allow you to burn your own PSP media? This unit has been out for about 12 hours now! Lets get going here!

  2. Two books I recommend on Recommend Reading for FPGAs and VHDL? · · Score: 1

    "Designing with FPGAs and CPLDs" http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1578 201128/qid=1104896988/sr=8-3/ref=pd_csp_3/104-7443 394-0211910?v=glance&s=books&n=507846 followed by "The Design Warrior's Guide to FPGAs" http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0750 676043/qid=1104896988/sr=8-1/ref=pd_csp_1/104-7443 394-0211910?v=glance&s=books&n=507846 In the first book, the author has a slant towards Verilog, but I learned a great deal of good design practices. The second book is thick and is more like a bible for all things FPGA. This book is great if you are new to FPGAs and need to learn what is out there.

  3. Hardly any odds at all on Redskins Football Games Predict Election Winner · · Score: 1

    Simply put, this is just comparing any two annual events (or in this case, every 4 or 8 years) and observing some common pattern. Given the amount of annual events that exist in the world, how hard can it be to find a coincidence between two events.

  7. Thank for all the advice! on Is A Catch-All Address Worth The Spam? · · Score: 1

    Just to fill in some details. This is a personal domain, and I am getting my email hosting from godaddy. I have decided to turn on the catchall feature. I created an email account called "catchall" and set it to catch all (Wasn't that clever). Within the catchall email settings, I put the Spam options up high. I did not consider using the catchall for instant email creation for purchasing, registration, etc. To comply with the standard Internet rules, I created a seperate postmaster and abuse email addresses. I'll go with this configuration for a while and see how the Spam flows.

    Thanks,
    Wildzeke

  8. My last transfer put me in the Doghouse on ICANN Sets Out Domain Transfer Policy · · Score: 3, Informative

    This past weekend, in fact, my domain transfer went through from Register to Godaddy. Unfortunately, I thought the mx records would be automatically setup. It wasn't. So we lost email Sunday morning and it took until today for the mx records to propagate through the Internet. My wife was pissed, because I just convinced her the switch her email, then she lost access to all the forums she belongs to.
