  1. I'm sure SSD's would be perfectly ok for submersing however your optical drives still have to be above the oil for obvious reasons also the fans are suppose to burn out fairly quickly due to the extra stress and the oil is suppose to damage the pcb after a good run. anyone tried this with an Xbox 360?

  2. I doubt this was a CE device as it sounds like PC hardware (and the fact you've managed to install XP) I have seen alot of these POS devices around and they tend to run Embedded 98,2K or XP. It seems OPOS may be of use to you...

  3. there are backup services available online and generally you wouldn't own the servers anyway. however if you think these are safe just because you don't own them is a risk you might take. Having said that cloud computing could mean using your laptop on a plane :)

  4. I have BT4 on an SD-Card whacked in my EEE - it is bt4-final.iso. I too used unetbootin however I did update bt4 and add a couple of scripts with the bt4 customise sript. I just booted it using the text mode and being the live version it automatically logs in then ran startx and KDE fired up. You don't state whether it's the Backtrack 4 final iso your trying?

  5. my advise is using a copy of AUF 007 or mech asault with a memory card and a hacked gamesave , P.S I do hope thats homebrew games you mean as 'winners don't do warez' :-) to be fair the best mod for these is XBMC . to change the hard drive on a softmod , make sure you relock it with an original lock...

  6. here is my best guess , (sorry if I'm wrong and I'm unsure of the impedence but I'd still use 50 OHM coax... or an antenna straight onto it) but use a multimeter and find an earth point , use the shield from the USB to locate this. This is normally the largest piece of copper and attach the earth braiding as close to the signal point that your going to attach as well - do not bridge the two - the signal point looks like it has a tiny smd capacitor accross it (maybe a resistor?) personally I'd remove this , which would detach the internal antenna (the copper coloured large track) and this would be the centre core for the coax to the antenna.

  7. just to add another point , I have read somewhere that if your computer has no connection to the internet , it will not give you 30 days to activate , if you have a network card and can get it installed through safe mode and connected to our router etc.., this option seems to become available again..

  8. here is my two penny's worth , basically removing a hard drive from one machine to another (as far as windows is concerned) is not a good idea , the reason it is asking for activation is windows has detected hardware changes (normally large ones) and it thinks it is being used on more than one machine - because it is (well sort of) - and as your windows licence is for 1 machine.... you might be able to boot from a 'live-cd' with some form of activation cracking however I still stick with my first statement this is not a good idea , because it will still have hardware drivers from the other machine and most likely won't pick up the new ones very easily (without a good push) and the chances of a BSOD are very high. If the hardware is similar i.e. the same model laptops this does help this situation. So to be honest although it's not impossible to move a hard drive with windows on it from one machine to another the best situation is to obtain a live cd from somewhere for instance ubuntu (it's free and will work fine) backup your important data get hold of a copy of windows - same version you had - i.e home or pro and use your licence to re-install your PC , if it's just being used on 1 machine , no problems...

  9. Not really a hack or a mod , but seriously if you want some help , a bit more info wouldn't go a miss.To say I have a ' wireless usb modem to access the internet anywhere i go ' and how do I get this working on linux is not helpful , a make and model preferably chipset would be helpful (lsusb in a terminal??). There is support for alot these devices in newer kernels and a network manager does the rest...

  10. When the world comes to an end or the oil and coal runs out, you will find me sat in my house in the woods, with running water, more than enough electricity to run a small town, supplies to last twenty years and a stock pile of weapons to rival a small dictatorship.

    - except for the fact you'll need to replace some bearings here and there and hope you don't freeze in winter :) seriously though most UPS's are just so you have enough time to safetly shut down the server , however I have seen fuses blown in UPS's causing more trouble than if there wasn't a UPS...
