"Design your ship" with UI. (PrintScreen + paste to IrfanView worked for me) And damn Cryptic should have blocked names that are used in game. (Or I should google first before picking a name...) http://lh6.ggpht.com/_ts__TutQba4/S1Kuudz6P1I/AAAAAAAAABc/2XaArXbkQHc/s800/Undine1.png Four cho...

You wrote that you had tested other power cable but did you have another power brick to test with too? 500g WD Elements (grey enclosure, svideoish power connector) had problem with easily broken power bricks. I had to open couple of 500g enclosures and if the internals are similar opening yours shou...

Unarmed service numbers (2003) 56 and (2006) 38 (source Ruotuväki ) In comparison wiki claims 27000 conscripts/year trained. Only 4 or 5 per day? How do you live on that, exactly? And how does college/postsecondary education fit in with that? Per day payment: (1-6 kk) 4,40 euro (7-9 kk) 7,30 euro (1...

Attendees of the StarCraft II Gameplay Panel got to hear big news about the single-player campaign first-hand: The epic story of StarCraft II will span a trilogy of games, with each game’s single-player campaign focusing on a different race. The first game will go into great depth telling the tale ...

Apologies if this has been posted or if It goes to wrong thread... Financial Times Why I had to recognise Georgia’s breakaway regions By Dmitry Medvedev Published: August 26 2008 18:48 | Last updated: August 26 2008 18:48 On Tuesday Russia recognised the independence of the territories of South Osse...

HDD controller drivers? If you do not have custom (for that laptop) XP cd, it might not have correct driver for your HDD controller. And since I really doubt that it has floppy drive (curses for XP not being able to get drivers from USB at install...), you will need to make custom XP cd. If that is ...

If this description sounds familiar, link has removal instructions.

I'm also recommending backup + nuke, just make sure to scan your backups. F-Secure has similar Rescue CD that Crayz posted (Thanks), but it only uses their scanning engine and doesn't have anything else. F-Sec Rescue CD You could try to run online scanner, like this F-Sec one. (Win 32bit, IE, JS, Ac...

As an alternative to external HDD case, I have found this a extremely useful: Kama Connect.

USB adapter for one SATA and one ATA device. Doesn't have case for HDD but very nice for temporary file transfers. Works with both 2.5/3.5" and optical drives.

Shortly about the wrong material: Reuters admits that it published pictures of the expedition that were originally taken in Northern Atlantic over ten years ago while searching Titanic. Same picture had been in movie Titanic (1997). Submarines used then were same as the ones used in current expediti...

Longest cable that I have used was only 20m, but if you trust Cisco NetAcademy materials Cat5 UTP max lenght is 100m (328 feet).

But if cable is going even near that, better do as Stark recommends and drop a switch to some suitable place.

I tried ipp2p last year as a small project for school. It filtered torrents and ed2k traffic nicely and I didn't notice any side-effects. Requires that all traffic go through a linux machine thou... Might be worth trying if problem is serious, but better test it before. My fooling around was quite l...

Only other free firewall that I know is Sunbelt Kerio Personal Firewall (30 day demo of full version, after that "it shuts down advanced privacy protection features, but will continue to run with reduced functionality for free" Comparison table on linked page) Add: Can't comment on decency...

I wonder if they really can get any profit by just selling items... And someone should hire better writers to their webpage, lack of information (or it's just well hidden) and typoes do not give trustworthy image. And general FAQ link goes to forums. (Found one sshot with interface) If I understand ...

My Swedish is pretty bad, but I think I got the general idea. Movie theatre in Göteborg showed "hard" (grov: hard, gross, barbaric, rough..) sex scene from movie "Shortbus" after midday on Saturday, while families with their kids were in to see "Förortsungar" (suburb yo...

Youtube is "easy". Here is blogpost that has info about more manual way. If you are using FF, easiest way is to install VideoDownloader Addon, and use it to download .flv (flash video files), and then either use some compatible player (like VLC ) or convert it to something better. ( SUPER ...

Stark: Have you tried Mandriva's live cd? (Mandriva Move IIRC) Destructionator XIII: One might have bought windows xp, but still prefer using vlk instead. I'm thinking of doing that if I have any problems next time I reinstall. But about Vista, I also dislike its gui. After betakey runs out it flies...

F-Secure Anti-Virus Client Security 6.00 (Corp. version of Internet Security 2006 -package, I think. No idea how that differs except that I have possibilty to have remote administation.) It works for me, relatively easy to use and I get it free. Can't say much about memory, as I have not tested anot...

Ponytail goes about 40+cm... Haven't had haircut after army, trying to see how long it grows before I get annoyed enough with it.

White Haven: CCCP & MPC (inc. in CCCP) plays it nicely. (Or mplayer/vlc on other systems...)

(Forgot to look what codec video was, isn't .mp4 just container?)

Try to follow speed limit, usually bit less. If someone doesn't like it, it is not my problem. Not going to take any risks of getting ticket with temporary license and ending re-taking lessons&tests.

Worst? Can't say worst ever or worst that I ever played, but worst that I own is: C&C Tiberian Sun (and Firestorm). I don't like graphics much but largest fall is units, they just do not feel powerful. Even Mammoth mk2 feels junk. Still on my list of games that I own and haven't played to the e...

Stark: Yes. (c)1997 TopWare CD-Services AG / Interplay with "Stunning 16-bit Color Graphics" and resolutions up to 800x600. :) Good thing music is on normal cd tracks. War on 2140 was the reason why everyone wants to escape Earth on 2150. Lunar Corp. wasn't around and there was still infa...

I have not played half of the games mentioned... Total Annihilation: Core Contingency -Good music, large explosions, lots of units to choose from and infinite resources. (Also first game that I ever bought so bonus points for that. And still playing.) C&C Generals: Zero Hour -"China will gr...
