  1. hate to hear what you will all say about this, but you ever thought about compaq? I have had mine for about 6 months now and it's been nothing but great.

    Ill give you the rundown:

    Model= Compaq Presario CQ50-215nr

    Paid $550 (that is w/the 2 yr geeksquad warranty[yes dont tell me about it... i got it for the parts side not the assistance])

    Processor = AMD QL-60 (athlon x2 64)1.9ghz - it's fast, maybe not near as fast as the amd z series proc's but hey, thats due for a desktop replacement.

    Video card = Nvidia 8200mg it does have shared memory, but also dedicated memory, and it sure has blown the

    shit out of everything in a > $1200 laptop range that I have seen.

    hard drive = toshiba 160gig 5200rpm, good enough

    dvd+-rw = slow but good and stable

    monitor=15.4" = good enough, not too big, not too small

    resolution = 1280x800 = good enough. clear and bright

    weight = light as hell for this notebook *and skinny and sleek too*

    you can see some pictures in another thread.

    network card = nvidia stock nic. works fine

    wireless card = atheros 5002x = great for vista, sucks ass in linux as of yet, and xp drivers are buggy (also windows 7)[but it's getting better soon w/ the newest kernel :D]

    Battery=6 cell stock = about 2 hrs use @ a time.

    the only issue I have had with the thing is the atheros card, but dont get me wrong you CAN get it working in linux, AND you CAN get the card to do packet injection, and if needed you can still change it out, it's not integrated.

    For the price you just cant beat it.

    oh btw/yah, its a fingerprint magnet. Put it to ya this way, if you were to use it to hak something, and you got busted with it... theres no way it wouldnt be yours.

    oh.. one more thing. no pcmcia or mini pc bus slots. sry. thats the only thing it's missing in a wellrounded laptop.

    And in virtualization, it beats the piss out of the intel core 2 desktops[not core 2 duos] at school w/ same memory config (2 gigs)

    and to give a heads up on what it can do, i can simultaneously run win2k3server and 2 xp clients, and use yod'm 3d at the same time with no hickups at all. It will do full speed visuals with emerald in linux, and it plays farcry1 @ full settings @ about 110fps. This is no overclocking of any sort, but i have to tell ya.. Reload the f*&ker as soon as you get it and wipe all the shovelware off it. After that, it's a damn fine machine.

  2. hey um.. this is gonna sound really noobish, but I downloaded the iso, threw it in virutal box, and it wants teh user and pass, but it said nowhere on the download site what that would be.

    And yes, I tried Root w and w/out root as a password and no go.

    here's my desktop (again) this time I am shamelessly showing off the hak5 background I uploaded yesterday (you can pick it up too! in the background section of the forum) </shameless plug 4 background>

    OH! and I also cleaned up my desktop recently :D

  4. wow.. that is fucking awesome. FOR 1, this finally gives a big ass beetle a real purpose in life besides biting the fuck out of someone, but for 2... i dunno. sucks to be the beetle..

    Today it's a beetle tomorrow... HUMANZ!

    i dunno though.. this is kinda a freaky thing to think about.

  5. yah, he actually has a point. if you can hold off for awhile, or just give xp or linux a go for now, then wait for 7 because it is WHOLE shnitloads better (or better yet, instead of waiting just download the torrent for it :P it's good till september (is that right?) and dont worry about pirated keys cause there is only like 5 different keys they made for it.

    and my bad vako, actually your right but i thought you meant thats what he needs to game right now

  6. Hmm... I have an odd mix of favorites.

    here goez:

    Industrial/Rock/and Metal

    NIN is my all time favorite band and has been since the mid 90's but here is (my newer-found) favorite (and the dvd is F*(ING AWESOME IN SURROUND SOUND!!!)

    Primus..Ohhh yeah. (I swear korn got their whole sound from the one part in jerry was a race car driver)

    Primus: My Name is Mud

    Type O Negative.. My blood type really is type o negative, and this is one of my more favored bands. You want some real sensual music? Next time your gonna get some, put this song on and by the end you'll be in love 10x over (and if you do some kinda drugs w/it [which i dont condone] but when I used to I never felt like I was in a more serene place.

    Type O Negative: Love You to Death

    Red Hot Chili Peppers.. This was the first song I heard while I was smoking my first cigarette (not THE first but..) after I got laid the first time. Kinda ironic about the lyrics as opposed to what just happened to me but hey, it was one of my fav. songs at the time

    Red Hot Chili Peppers: Under the bridge

    Guns and Roses: Once you get this far in the list you notice that I am into slow sad songs, but really this is but a hobby (if you would like to call it such) I enjoy epic songs that can capture a moment in time as other music can, but can also capture feelings that I have not had to endure, and I dunno.. It's just an epic song.

    Pantera: At least this isnt sad? lol

    Pantera: This Love

    Orgy: damn near anything but this was my fav. by the band (and I saw em live before they got big :D)

    Orgy: Pantomime (sorry no video was evr made 4 this song)

    Marilyn Manson: If your wondering, at 00:42, yes that is female genitalia on someone's head, and no both youtube nor MTV ever noticed.. (mtv used to play this video all the time :P)

    Marilyn Manson: Dope Hat

    ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

    Techno

    All time fav. Djs

    Mixin Marc - you cant find my fav album by him (4 tha klubbheadz 2000 live B-97fm)

    but you can check out some of his new mixes here: Mixin Marc's Myspace

    Dj Irene: I have met her. Hardest house music evr. She has not produced an album in years, but she still appears live and everybody who hears her still proclaims her as the best hardhouse dj ever.

    Dj Irene: Live

    Dieselboy: Best damn Drum N Bass dj/creator hands down (he makes his own, he dont spin other's beats)

    Dieselboy: Quadrant 6 (if your going to listen loud make sure you got some hard bass in those computer speakers!!!)

    other of mention:

    Tim spinnin' sharmon (not going to find much of his stuff)

    Bad Boy Bill

    BT

  7. Its a cloud.

    Americans really should stop worrying about mother nature and the weather, if you gave up building most of your houses out of wood and plasterboard and moved to brick, like we did hundreds of years ago, you really wouldn't have any problems with the wolf.

    Stoughton_damage.jpg

    um... does this answer your question stingwray?!'

    btw. peep the house in the back/left, and tell me what it's made of..

    actually yes, a brick house will hold up better, and that's just common sense, but the point is, is that if it's a good enough tornado, it doesnt matter wtf your in unless your underground.

  8. OK! Scenario:

    IP given/bought from isp: 74.230.10.5/22

    Atlanta base needs 400 computer ip's

    Chicago base needs 240 computer ip's

    Washington base needs 85 computer ip's

    also wan links between the three need 2 ip's for each of the 3 links to work with redundancy and be failsafe and they need to be connected as follows:

    packettracerscreenshotat9.jpg

    and yah, putting tcp against it would have thrown everyone for a loop. I still dont remember it off the top of my head though :P

  9. hmm.. have to say I tried deskspace and even though it was WAY better looking than yod'm, it couldnt make up for speed *but thats me though*

    Personally I think there should have already been something made that performs as well as compiz, but at the same time keeps the visual appeal up as much as compiz.

    (being free so there's no need to snatch would be good too...)
