  1. keyboard removal on Abused, But Working Hardware Stories? · · Score: 1

    5 years ago I was (and still am) the owner of an ASUS t2p4 (with a pentium 66/233 MMX overclocked at 83Mhz FSB, good old days).
    I was in the process of creating a server running linux and I had only one keybord/screen/mouse and no KVM switch, so I had to plug/unplug all the three components quite a lot, so much than after a reboot, my T2P4 stop reconising the keyboard.
    after switching keybord I quickly conclude it was a probloem of the motherboard!!!!!

    I manage to identify what look like a resistor (remember real resistor not SMD device) labeled as fuse on the Motherboard. so here we go, I unsolderer the bastard and shorted the fuse.
    I had to say I was a bit worried to solder a motherboard, but it all went fine and the MB is still working so far and is still my prefered linux server :=)

    happy end

    PS now hot keyboard removal feature work like a charme, but I tend to avoid this on newer PCs

  2. Re:The Camera for a Serious Amatuer on Beyond Megapixels - Part III · · Score: 1

    Sorry to comment on this but where the hell have you seen a 10x zoom for the canon rebel, if you manage to get x7 (with the latest sigma 18-125 at 300) then you are lucky... and for a 10x, yet to see one (if any) of decent price and quality.

    The canon can come in standard with a 28-50 lense wich is a 18-55 (or an x3 zoom), not to mention that you don't have any digital zoom, you cannot shout using the LCD, and does not shout movie and is bulky.

    That is a lot of drawback. And even if I want to buy a digital SLR I can understand why somebody wouldn't go for it

    PS.
    And going partiing with a bag full of 3 different zoom is NOT an option.

    Not to mention the fact that changing the lens mean dust on your CCD and that's bad....

  3. am I dumb or on Visual Autopsy Of An ATM Card Skimmer · · Score: 1

    just a small question about how the camera is working:
    when is it triggered ?
    does it take photos or 15sec movie ?
    how it work ?
    is there a wire/wireless link between the card reader and the camera ?

    I have heard about wireless transmission between the thieves and the camera, and the thieves just record all typed pin. but this one seems more complicated

  4. it is a fantastic idea on Branding Mozilla: Towards Mozilla 2.0 · · Score: 1

    I have recently searched for a new up to date browser to test some stuff on windows.
    I end up downloading
    - netscape 7.1
    - mozilla
    - firebird

    and you know what: netscape look closer to mozilla that mozilla to firebird :=)

    you don't know what product you have and you end up loosing yourself.
