some also point out that the eula is unenforcable because its open source software, you could download the source and compile your own version of the browser and the eula would no longer apply

looks like section 11 in the EULA got the smack down pretty quickly
see for example http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2704,2329414,00.asp

runs good ! this is super fast.
but i forgot how ugly the web is with all the ads everywhere.. any adblock app for chrome??

i'd love to try that out too
unfortunately its half a planet away..

OK it has the little internal power supply with whizzy fan and seems to have the same ICE cooler as usual. i have never seen one SG31G2 in real life, but i doubt it is any quieter than the ST62K (Zen), and the Zen is not really quiet.. so don't get your hopes up

This is good to know -- Im going to look into that ASAP. this user interface is not as intuitive as it could be so here is how to do it.. under the 'Configure' dialog accessible from the main window you can rename labels on Temperatures/Fans/Voltages/Speeds tabs by highlighting one and pressing F2....

ah ok, good idea

http://www.silentpcreview.com/files/images/asus-m3a78-pro/speedfan.jpg re the manually labelled picture above - in case the reviewer didn't know - in speedfan you can change the labels if you click the 'configure' button and there you can rename generic labels such as Fan1,Fan2,Temp1 etc to somethi...

i can't even fill 1 TB total

i have used mediaplayer classic for years now, it can open virtually everything. it can't download from youtube afaik (but it can play .flv files). for this i use a web-based script save youtube

nice post

sound addition works on a logarithmic scale not linear, so an extra drive is significantly less than double the perceived noise. whether it is a minimal difference or not depends on how quiet the rest of your system is.. for example if the only sound from your system is a lone hard drive you can exp...

harddrives have these magnets which are used to move the heads around.
they magnets are very strong and you can have a bit of fun with them eg. wear one on either side of your nose also fun for science experiments / magic tricks etc.. make a gauss gun ?

ahem.. if any aussies reading this thread are looking for an lcd

i am using dells 30 incher now so my old monitor has been orphaned..
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ... 0278422703
you can never go back from the 30" but i will miss the quietness of this monitor, the 3007WFP has a quite noisy buzz to it

it is significant here to distinguish between believing you can hear difference and demonstrating you can hear difference. even if someone is unable to demonstrate they can tell lossy codec and source pcm apart, if they believe (or imagine) they can hear some difference then that may detriment from ...

iirc you get best fuel economy for the rpm which your engine provides peak torque. so for most cars i would expect best fuel efficiency will be in the highest available gear traveling at whichever rpm hits the peak torque, and what speed this is depends on the geometry of your car (the gearing ratio...

a few years ago i ripped my entire cd collection using LAME (--alt-preset standard, at the time, seems to be same as -V 2 now) and EAC frontend. it was painless and the results indistinguishable from cd quality for me, highly recommended

The first type of coasting is meant to let you coast as far as possible on as many hills and slopes as you can -- eat the "road candy"! On standard shifts, you should put the car in neutral and take your foot off the accelerator. ... The second type is for when you need to stop anyway: downshift to...

ok, how does 'Samsung EcoGreen 5400rpm F1' version compare with WD greenpower though?

PLOH.. lol..

i hate hard disk noise... 12HD must sound horrible ...

when setting up the room is complete i think MikeC could/should use it to record some of his classical guitar, i'd like to hear that! would you get a SNR on par with a proper recording studio with this set up?

Speaking of heat - it occurred to me to wonder. If this room won't have ventilation, how will you control the temperature while testing? Or are the test runs short enough that even a beefy PSU won't heat the room much. (I know, the build details will come in future articles ...) i was under the imp...

the physical action of reading and writing is magnetic, so that's noiseless.. the noisy part is seek, because thats when the motor which moves the heads about is working. so you get noisy seeks when there is a lot of read or write action, e.g. during bootup especially if you have a heavily fragmente...

just an update, changing OS to XP and bridging the two network adapters has achieved what i wanted, more or less. thanks

my old elastic suspension lost elasticity in a matter of months. it was just held up by the cloth, it still worked for noise reduction but the drives were loose and in danger of falling out if you bumped the case too much i guess its a combination of the constant strain and heating i now no longer u...

Another tip which wasn't immediately obvious to me was to keep the car in gear (high gear) when decelerating and braking until you almost stall. I had naively presumed that coasting in neutral would use less petrol, but it seems that that's wrong. In neutral the engine management system needs to us...

donate $42 US? donate $100 US? I tried my hand at making some donation links. Not sure how easy it is to change the donation amount after you click a fixed value link but I felt like trying it. Somebody should try one of them and let us know if they work. yup, worked for me. it's a good idea, i thi...
