    there's no reason criminals should take private flights, besides, criminals can travel as long as they don't blow the planes up.

  5. Re:3-way SLI? on AMD's Hybrid Graphics Unveiled, Tested · · Score: 1

    it doesn't say SLI can only do 2 cards, it says SLI needs 2 discreet cards, doesn't mean it can't have more, there's a couple of motherboards due for release soon allowing 4 way sli, though they need a modified case for 4 double width cards and it doesn't leave space for anything else.

    the world's strange enough as it is, and the bobcat's probably worth more, not to mention the postage.

    buy the hd-dvd drive and stick it in a cupboard, should your hd-dvd player die, then it's time to buy the rest, hopefully for a lot cheaper than it is now and follow this guide, there should be more software around for the purpose by then.

  16. Good book on Web Graphic Design for Small Businesses · · Score: 3, Informative

    I was pretty much in the same situation until somebody recommended to me "The Principles of Beautiful Web Design" By Jason Beaird http://www.amazon.com/Principles-Beautiful-Web-Design/dp/0975841963/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1202658998&sr=8-1 since then I've done several websites and got several contracts from people who've seen those sites. The book assumes you know stuff like HTML and CSS and just covers things like layout, color schemes and graphics.

  21. Re:Enough with the default passwords. on Drive-By Pharming In the Wild · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Or better yet, make the default password the last 6 digits of the LAN side MAC address, that can't be terribly hard to manufacture.
    that wouldn't really help, drive-by attacks access the router from the lan side anyway, so would already have access to the lan side mac address.

    I'm assuming everyone here knows what they are doing.

    that projector with something like http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/input/8193this, and some sort of mouse replacement, and you'd have all your IO needs on the go.
