  1. Meh, I don't really care for Ubuntu. I prefer Open Suse and Fedora.

    During the first few months of Vista's release, I installed it on my machine just to see what it was like. At first, I was mildly impressed, but as I started doing some heavy tasks,, the shit hits the fan.  I'll just stick to Win XP Corp Ed for a few more years.

  2. Great episode. I watched it twice, Darren's piece on his new laptop kicked ass. It was very interesting listening to him explain it all in detail.

    Does anybody besides me think that Wess can come off as a jerk sometimes on video?

  3. I wouldn't teach her how to do it man. Myspace and instant messaging can be very distracting from work. And I'm not saying she will get into trouble, but I am saying that what if people start seeing her on myspace and instant messenger, they are going to want to get on to. Then they are going to start bitching, and it's going to start a fucking riot.

    tell her to stick to her work and play at home.

  5. Well, here's the story. My friend is really good with hacking, networking and computers in general. I really have never met anybody that knows as much Linux, BSD, Windows, etc than this guy. But anyway, some how he uses notepad to have conversations with people when he's signed onto aim. I've asked him how he does it, and he doesn't want to tell me.

    So, hak5 crew, u think this would be a cool hack to feature on the show?

  6. I was using Vista Ultimate with two hard drives. An 80gb WD and a 160 gb WD. I used the 80gb to install programs and the 160gb for all my stuff, pictures, videos and stuff like that. I backed up all of my stuff on from the 160gb and deleted the volume using Vista's built in disk management. I decided to run daris boot and nuke (dban) on both of the drives; my 80gb still works (I installed Fedora 6 on it) but my 160gb doesn't work. Actually, computer runs 10x slower when I have the 160gb hd hooked up (sata), so I just disconnected it from the mobo and my computer works great. I still want to use my 160gb hard drive, but it won't work at all and it slows the system down horrible.

    Can someone offer an idea or help, this really sucks.

  7. Wow. I guess I forgot how soon you guys would be returning. This is a totally awesome surprise and I can't wait to watch it! I know it'll be a great show and thanks for bringing us new content every month. We know how busy you guys are, so we def appreciate it.

  8. As a spinoff (and purely from a theoretical point of view), which is likely to give the better performance: 2 * 1GB or 4 * 512MB?  I realise that the individual sticks must be identical in respect of speed, capacity etc. but don't know if one configuration will give a better performance than the other.

    Definately go with the 2 * 1gb sticks. In regards to the 4* 512mb, basically less chips less problems you'll run into, if any.
