On my local radio station when they play Nickelbacks ' Rockstar ' they censor out the word ' drug ' in the line " My own drug dealer on speeddial '. The word ' Drug ' is apparently not suitable for broadcast. But the new line of "My own [pause] dealer on speeddial' is somehow better. They play this...

Linux From Scratch has a decent enough guide to what you need to get up and running. It'll require quite a bit of command line wizardry, but it'll also build you the slimmest distro possible. I haven't used it myself, but from what I understand the guide is pretty comprehensive. IRC is a useful way...

millions of perfectly good TVs will need to be trashed. Not necessarily trashed, but they'll need an external box as well. We just closed down our last analog broadcast in Sweden last year. Right now, all the analog channels are running, along with many digital channels (about 15 OTA in this area)....

The advantage of having the manufacturers pay (even if they do pass on the cost to the consumer), is that the infrastructure will probably be better when you have X manufacturers required to spend y% of their sales on facilitating recycling, so that the end user will have somewhere to go and doesn't...

You don't connect the wall plug, but get a connector that fits the DC input on the device, where the wall-wart cord comes in. Then you get a 4-pin molex connector and a wire, and connect the relevant voltage and ground on the molex and the DC input on your device. It means replacing the included pow...

Re: Fortron FSP350-60PN(PF) and upgrades - can it break anyt
16A on the 12V rail is not enough for an 8800GT. You'll definitely need a newer/better PSU. Why isnt 16A enough? The mentioned PSU has a 18A 12V rail BTW. 8800GT draws ~140W max. Xbitlabs has it as 80W max. If it would be 140W, it'd draw ~10A from 12V, and combined with a potential 5A* (60W) for th...

anyone have any tips for being more efficient on a manual transmission? When accelerating, try to go straight from 2nd to 4th or 3rd to 5th, if those are the gears you'll use when you're done accelerating. The elimination of one shifting will make up for the higher rev. And always use as high a gea...
