Dear Apple, If I ever find out which motherfscker designed the Macbook Air, I will rip the nearest lamp post out of the ground and stuff it up his/her ass light end first before proceeding to move it in a toothbrushing motion. Which fucking retard decided to include a 3.5mm jack… that can’t fit 99%…
Atom 330/E5200?
Currently (attempting) to decide between an Atom 330 based solution vs an E5200 based solution. This machine is (ideally) meant for the following: BitTorrent client PS3 DLNA Media Server (with hopefully sufficient CPU power for transcoding) not making whirring sounds when it’s on not increasing ambient room temp by 5° Information gathered so far: the…
Belkin F8T013 & You!!!
If you are trying to get your PC mic and speakers to work as a Bluetooth headset… you might as well save yourself the trouble and get a Belkin F8T013. It comes with Widcomm drivers, AND you can update the drivers directly off the Broadcom/Widcomm website. Don’t bother shopping around unless you are 100% certain…
Bluetooth, Widcomm, Toshiba, Microsoft and Unstandardized Standards
Don’t believe anything that you read in the newspapers about how Bluetooth is a standard based technology. Well, it is… like at the integrated circuit level. If you ever want to do more than just transferring files or syncing your mobile phone, you’ve probably run into the same problems as I have. Put simply, the…
Bluetooth Audio Gateway/Headset Profile & You
Once upon a time, Bluetooth dongles came with drivers… typically those drivers included cool and useful things (like the Bluetooth Audio Gateway). Now, what the Bluetooth Audio Gateway (BT AG from here on) means to most people is this – BT headset connected to PC via USB BT dongle, stream music (and other audio stuff)…
N97 Thoughts…
I’ve had my N97 for (about) 2 days now. Just a quick bit of online diarrhea in case anyone is interested in getting an N97 and is having second thoughts (blasphemy). I’ll start with the cons or negatives: the battery indicator is full of poop as usual… showing 100% for ages then sinking like a…
ZoneEdit -> XName, ZoneEdit -> DynDNS -> DNS-O-Matic
I forgot my ZoneEdit password… and ZoneEdit has a completely shit password retrieval system. So, I moved to XName. ZoneEdit had free dynamic DNS that DD-WRT could handle. XName does not. I used DynDNS for a day… but having myhostname.homelinux.net didn’t sound as cool as myhostname.biatch0.net. After a lot of searching, a lot of middle…
PHPMyAdmin/MultiUsers/MySQL
Just a useful note for anyone trying to setup the combo above (myself included for future reference): turns out that % as a hostmask doesn’t include localhost
emerge -uDv world
Finally updated world after about 2 years of semi-updated packages. Great success.
adventures in xp64
(1) WoW FPS is decent without tweaks – not quite XP32 FPS though; not sure why. (2) Registry modifications to disable Nagle et al work. (3) Dual monitors work flawlessly. (4) 1GB RAM still free running WoW and a VM with 1GB RAM. (5) 3com card doesn’t have drivers and I have no idea what…
