I recently got really tired of the Palm platform and bought a Sony Ericsson P910i instead with the Symbian UIQ operating system, and I could not be happier! It opens what ever I throw at it, and it has replaced my mobile phone too. The built-in calendar and task software also does their job very well.
It also runs the Opera web browser, so if I'm bored I can always check on good ol' Slashdot on the run!
Well, I kind of like Opera, but without a decent ad-blocker it's worthless for me. I really hate seeing all these ads all over the place. This is why i switched back to Firefox + adblock after trying Opera. I really like the M2 mail software, included with Opera, as it really does everything one can ask.
I still use Opera on my Sony Ericsson P910i though, as it really rocks on that device. The rendering is as perfect as it can get on such small screens.
Well, here at KTHall our machines dualboots Windows 2000 and Fedora Core 2 and most courses dealing with computers are held in a Linux environment. This school has come a long way in the Linux transition. Of course, there is a need for Windows, but it's quite limited as we use Linux on a daily basis and it has progams for almost all tasks needed.
Well, a feature which makes the browser able to block Flash movies from certain hosts. Exactly the way it does with images. (Right-click on the image and select Block images from...)
I've read some posts here which states that if you overwrite data on a drive, it's possible to recover it. Well, it's NOT. Not according to Ibas, a large data recovery company here in Europe anyway.
The problem with all these so called reasers and such is that they often try to write a continous stream of zeroes for example. The hardware in that case will compress the information, leaving only a small footprint on the storage media itself. That makes it very hard to securily erase a harddrive.
Some people claim that one can read out already overwritten bits from magnetic media. Well, no, you can't. Sure, maybe one can read back a bit or two if you analyze the physical structure of the disk itself. But getting some real data back from overwritten bits is quite impossible, with todays technology.
If you want to securily erase a drive, use a big magnet. I mean big as in the ones used for lifting cars on the junkyard! There are some special tools out in the market for that purpose. One other way is probably just to remove the platters and crush them into dust.
I have been using Textpattern for a while now and I can't be happier. It does everything well, and is free. It has a nice administrator interface, and everything.
A modded xbox + xbmc is perfect! I use it daily, so I know. The only thing missing is a video-in card. Currently I have to use my desktop PC to record shows and then stream to the xbox. It works, but it would really be perfekt if one could use normal PCI-cards on the xbox. Anyone know about this problem and if the xbox2 has the same limitations?
Something like this has actually been done before. Several years ago, before is was forbidden to reseach into this technology, ABB Atom here in Sweden created a "nuclear powerplant for the home". It was safe, cheap... Too bad they had to stop the development.
As i said in my post "...such as the minidiscs...", I am aware of the "Mini disc", and I have used them for several years myself, although with this new technology one could have entire music collections on one "disc" instead of just an album or two.
Minidiscs are really nice, but they are not common in the US, afaik? In Europe though, they are very common.
If this technology will be cheap enough, is this not potentially useful for portable music? Imagine using these small drives as cartridges, such as the minidiscs. It would be great, and probably widley used. Just look at those old walkmans and such. They where great in their days.
I have an IBM R30 laptop and sometimes i REALLY miss having a floppy drive. Can't imagine why they didn't ship one with it. Although one can buy a floppydrive for the ultrabay2k, it SHOULD be standard!
Slashdot Mirror
I am fed up with the noise from my comuter, so I did the following.
1. Installed the BeQuiet sound elimination kit for Chieftec
2. Got a better CPU fan
3. Installed four Zalman 12dB(A) fans in the chassi.
4. Enjoy the sound of nothing.

I use a chipped xbox whith Xbox Media Center for my media needs. It is really all you'll ever need. (well, almost)

Who would ever need a Nokia when SonyEricsson has the P910!
The _perfect_ phone/PDA.

Hey, I sound like a commercial.

Here's a quick and dirty procmail filter to get rid of the spam.
/dev/null

You might want to specify a mail folder instead of '|
Then I guess using it while being drunk is out of the question.
This is really something to think about.
I have lots of CDs with photos and other things that I really don't want to be destroyed because of a 'flawed' media.
Is an harddriver safer in a long run than CDs? Or is the only safe thing a RAID solution? Printing each photo on paper is not an option though.
Yep, another dupe :)
Seems like the slashdot people have been a little high on tar.
Imagine a beowulf cluster of these! ;)
I have no idea about the parties in the US, but here in Sweden, Dreamhack have hade 500 women from a total of over 3000 people.
Actually, there were over 500 women there when I was last there ;)
I have DSL and two wires work just fine. :)
Here in Sweden most people have DSL actually.

Is there a mirror on the site?
:)
The one on Geocities seem to be down at the moment.
I guess I have to print this one out, as I am moving in a week!
Don't know if there will be any money raised for that issue ;)
It is an interresting subject though..
