I once was able to recover all the data off an 8GB or so HD after placing it in a bag and the freezer overnight. Did'nt think it would work, but it was click of death and not a deathstar. Lots of condensation on it while i pulled data off, but worked out ok, and the customer bought me a steak dinner:)
I have tried it on a few more with no success. I have also tried replacing the pcb with the same model, but the rev was different and didnt work out either. This was all years ago, and doubt you'd have much success with any modern HD.
I guess the decision to halt the Angelfire Email service was based upon this too. As of May 31st, 2004 all Angelfire Email accounts (http://email.angelfire.mailcity.lycos.com) will be closed. There notice is here: http://angelfire.lycos.com/doc/faq/mailjump.shtml
Sucks to be me since all 3 of my primary accounts have been through angelfire for the past 6 years almost. And they dont even offer pop3 support for me to pop them off...oh well..
Gothenburg, Sweden - December 10, 2002 - Swedish interactive entertainment developer MindArk today announced the virtual universe Project Entropia is going gold on January 30th 2003. Project Entropia is Sweden's largest software project ever, and has been in development since 1997.
Project Entropia is a three-dimensional virtual universe on the Internet accessible from any computer with an Internet connection, anywhere in the world.
Project Entropia is an entertainment product aimed for global usage across culture, age and sex barriers. The main focus in the development has been to cater to the features desired by online gamers as well as for users engaged in society and community building - those with an interest in meeting other people for social interaction and adventure. Millions of users will be able to interact in the Project Entropia universe.
Project Entropia introduces unique features like a real economy where its currency, PED, is exchangeable with any major currency in the world. The software needed to enjoy Project Entropia is free to download, and this virtual universe is free to enter and spend time in.
"It is even possible to make a living in Project Entropia," says Chairman Benny Iggland. "This is being demonstrated by several of our commercial trial users. A market economy is rapidly evolving, with our users defining prices on various commodities and items available in the virtual universe. Project Entropia will also incorporate real world commodity trading in a three dimensional environment."
"Some 15 million USD have been invested in the development of Project Entropia to date and we expect to continue developing Project Entropia in the years to come for a sum of at least 5 million USD annually," says Managing Director Jan Welter Timkrans.
Even though the release date has been set for January 30th, 2003, it is possible for anyone who wants a head start to immediately enter the Project Entropia universe after downloading the software at www.project-entropia.com."
The game is free and will be available online and on cds (not sure how they will be distributed). Theorectically you could join the world and be a beggar and hope people will give you stuph..althouhg it is doubtful anyone would be so kind...
personally i made about 200 bucks in a couple weeks with diablo II. I sold a small item for about $10 and then bought an item for $10 and then traded it up in game and got items which i then sold for $50. From there i made about $100 and decided to buy Stone of Jordans (basically currency in d2) in bulk (40 SoJs). then i sold those stones in smaller auctions and ended up with about 200 bucks...
..but i would much rather actually own a physical copy of a game rather than a digital copy. it will be much more difficult getting this thing to sell because many people dont have highspeed connections and that immediately whipes out a very large chunk of potential customers. i wouldnt think that it would sel as well with the younger crowd since even fewer of them have high speed connections.

Man back in the day Pirates! Gold owned all on the mac...glad to see it has come back in some form.
..but i would much rather actually own a physical copy of a game rather than a digital copy. it will be much more difficult getting this thing to sell because many people dont have highspeed connections and that immediately whipes out a very large chunk of potential customers. i wouldnt think that it would sel as well with the younger crowd since even fewer of them have high speed connections.
...on them for not making it compatible with all OSes in the first place. Doesnt seem like a good business plan, but ohh well.
I wonder how much they would pay you for that. -Psyiode

Is there any way that we may be able to harness this power to use instead of our current toxic power plants? -psyiode
