  1. Wouldn't work, domestic freezes and fridges are designed to cool the objects and then prevent them from getting warm again, not continually remove heat that is being produced. You would find that you freezer would die pretty rapidly.
  2. I don't know about corn syrup and sealing the case up, sounds like too much hassle and the syrup part makes me think that it wouldn't be able to remove the heat fast enough. However people have done it with oil and submerging there components in a old fish tank etc. You theoretically should be able to do it with pure water, but I could see the water eroding the components and become inpure.
  3. Yeah I have this document somewhere on my computer, along with a few others of similar nature. A database of it would be nice to have.

    New PC

    They don't overcharge, they are a business that need to pay for overheads and the staff to build the computers. Also companies do a lot of testing to see which hardware works well with what, you shouldn't get a machine that has compatibility problems from a company that builds them. Compatibility problems are few and far between these days but I have had motherboards that just completely didn't work with some graphics cards and ended out losing because I couldn't send it back faulty because it wasn't. What you are paying for is piece of mind when you buy a prebuilt computer.
  5. Aluminum cases are for show because generally they can be finished nicer than steel. The contribute just as much towards cooling as steel does, if not more, because you may notice that most cheap heatsinks are silver and aluminium, Zalman sometimes make heatsinks with both copper and aluminium in it. I would buy an aluminium case simply because it was lighter and I don't think they cost twice as much all the time, you often get more features for your money such as removable motherboard tray which makes like a lot easier when building the computer.
  6. Most likely they are using a Captive Portal with Radius Authentication, so probably your best bet is trying to sniff someones user name and password. You won't get access to the internet until you are authenticated, so I can't see how you would get round it any other way.
  7. I don't doubt that, but I was suprised when I found out that that was the law. It does show how long the various agencies and associations have had to get there act together.
  8. Most TV licensing has a clause the says that you are stealing what you download if you keep it after a certain number of days. This came in after recordable VHS became popular and the production houses thought it would be the end of people buying videos from them. Obviously not many people cared about this as the swapping of the data was limited, but now that it is easy things are starting to hot up as we have seen.
  9. You will find the desktop exactly the same as using thin clients, because you will have the same profile on both of them
  10. Yes and what are you remote deskoping into? The server, which is then processing all your actions. The server is an actual computer.
  11. Thin client systems allow you to remotly connect to a server which then acts like a workstation for you. You can do as much on a thin client system as on a desktop system. It will be the active directory policies that will stop you doing things, not the type of system you are on.
  12. You obviously don't have much knowledge of active directory and running a network. Desktop are no safer than Thin Clients.
  13. Problem with the educational editions is a lot of them are only a license for a couple of years which makes it very annoying. You just have to hope they bring out a new version in that time.
  14. Excellent, thanks, now for the camcorder.
  15. We don't have any external IPs that are 192.168.x.x because they wouldn't work. 192.168.x.x is a private network address which is non-routerable. Also to clear things up 172.201.110.48 is a public IP, the private range is 172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255 and so he is outside of this.[/url]
  16. kYd, thats brillant, thats all it needed was a little touch like that. Now as long as Duelus doesn't use it as his avatar or signiture we will be fine.
  17. The Vegas+DVD Production Suite combines Vegas® 6, DVD Architect™ 3, and Dolby Digital® AC-3 encoding software to offer an integrated environment for all phases of video, audio, DVD, and broadcast production. A must for the professional media producer, this suite lets you edit and process DV, HDV, and SD/HD-SDI in real-time, manipulate audio with unparalleled precision, and author DVDs. I can get that for £316, do you think thats a pretty good deal?
  18. 53 has the best pose I think but the right side or your face is a tad on the dark side. 13 and 16 have got too much of an evil grin. 28 is pretty good. 41 is you being silly. 45 isn't bad, but for the hand. 67 is probably your other alternative. 81 doesn't show the real you.
  19. Thats because it is almost exactly the same as ethereal, they had to change he name because the project leader left his job and the company he used to work for owned the rights to the ethereal name.
  20. Do you have to buy a seperate license for each machine that you are rendering on, or can you render on as many machines as you like and use the editing features on one machine?
  21. It is his signiture, when you change your signiture only posts you make afterwards will have the new signiture, it doesn't go back and update all of his posts he has made.
  22. I keep finding my noob escapes before I can squash my noob under the elevtrically heated spikes. Will there be an in-built firewall in the next model or an update that will prevent my noobs from escaping?
  23. I hope there is a lot more than 8 pins otherwise you might be having some problems.
  24. Does this model run the fat off the noob to make it a more healthier alternative? I'm on bit of a noob diet at the moment.
