W4RP3D

First can i just say this is an absolutely great idea, i found this page about how to set up F@H to install its self (well kinda) its late so ill have another look tomorrow and right a batch script for it. W4rp3d Edit: oppps didnt put the link :oops: http://fahwiki.net/index.php/FoldingAtWork

I had a MiniDisc Player too, the software which you had to use to copy music to it was so dam awful half the time it never worked and the other half it would take an age to copy one track, It broke a few months ago and has been sitting on my desk waiting to be taken to bits and mucked around with. But yer back on the topic every thing (well most) things are now made to be "disposable" Tv, firdges,microwaves,ipods and to a lesser extent even cars, because the price of production has fallen so much and there all mass produced.

does anyone one actually know how the vending machines calculate what coins you put in, is it weight or size or something totally different?

So im buying a new computer, i have everything ready to order apart from the graphics card, i relies that in a few months or so more DirectX 10 cards will start appearing and therefore the prices of DirectX 9 cards will drop. But untill that happens I still want to be able to play games at a descent, playable frame rate, they dont have to be on high setting minium will do. So which graphics card do you guys recommend? (sub £100 about $160) Thanks w4rp3d

Theres a tutorial on the wiki http://www.hak5.org/wiki/Skinning_the_PortableAppsMenu

My old school used to block it and now does my college. They tried to block Digg, when I wrote a polite but disgruntled email asking why they unblocked it, however they never email back.

I like it, it feals fresher and its a lot easier to read.

I just googled my name and apparently (no word of the a lie this is the honest truth) Someone with the same name as me was born 28th of September 1841, the weird thing is the 28th of September is my actual birthday. :shock:

The hardest part would be the device unlocking the door its self, a few ideas just a quick think: 1. A deadbolt connected to a servo which just slide the bolt away to unlock the away. Advantages: Very easy to construct, cheap Disadvantages: Cant unlock it if there's a problem with the system (no non-tech way), if you didnt have the door shut and the door locked you would have to unlock then lock again 2. A Normal lock with a servo/motor pulling the handle down Advantages: quite easy and cheap(ish) and a key could be used aswell. Disadvantages: servo/motor has to be resonably powerful to pull the handle down, have to attach a rod/wire to the handle of the lock

I envy you sooo much lol

thanks everyone I didnt even think of the encryption :oops: its now a lot higher remkow i think you were right (noobish moment) thanks agian

I changed it to port 80, and its jumped up slightly to 30kb/s. Which is better than it was just not as good as it probably can be.

Yer i believe so... Protocol Encryption Outgoing: Forced

Im having problems getting good download speeds using torrents, after a few minutes googleing I found that my ISP provider (Tiscali) throttles down torrents, Im using uTorrent 1.6 and im not getting more than 20kb/s which is quite typical for other torrents ive downloaded. Where as I normally get 100kb/s downloading normally 120kb/s on a good day. Is there any way i can bypass the throttleing down??

I got a new TV for Christmas with a built in DVD player, which i hooked up to a pc so I can watch movies and music through it. After using it for a few days im starting to get a bit cheesed off with turning the pc on and waiting for it to start up ever time i want to listen to some mp3's. Then it hit me that I could burn a DVD with a tonne of mp3s on it. The question i put to you guys is: do you know of any free software which i can create a title screen/menu for the DVD so i can browse it easily. (ive tried google but didn't come up with anything)

By the looks of it your planing to spend some serious dough, so for the sound card have you looked at the "X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Pro Series" cost a bit (read: alot) but the reviews ive seen seem to say its great.

ermm could you glue a small piece of dowel road or something to them and turn that, just an idea, no idea if it will work in theory though.

The trailers out!! I saw it on digg, yer i no everyone reads digg, but I was just wondering what you guys thought? to me it looks awesome! http://video.vividas.com/CDN1/5029_paramount/en/web/

LMAO haha Ermm i think i saw it on digg back when episode 2 or 3 was released

Depends, but you should still use them ever time you use a LED, its not like they cost much a few pence each, some even cheaper. Heres a link to work out what resistance they should be http://led.linear1.org/led.wiz

Cool heres the direct link saves people form using the search http://www.digg.com/podcasts/Hak5_Video_Podcast_2

ahh ogame i had many many many happy hours on that back at school in lesson, very very addictive.

Could you use a simple opamp to amplify the signal from the speakers themselves, therefore not needing to turn up the volume to extreme levels?

heres a good one http://www.bleenks.com/

if your in to gaming yes it will! It will have a huge performance increase of games thanks to the vertical and pixel shaders being now "combined" into a "Common Core" so that instead of the shaders being fixed they can change into either one maximising the use of the hardware, also with the introduction of geometry shader which will benefits include better textures. Theres also the fact that because of the directx 10 architecture, the load of the CPU will be decreased and the same for the GPU, how will this work? well as i understand imagine there is huge army in front of you each solder wont be processed but one will be (or a few) then the data will run though once more to find the position of each one dramatically decreasing the work. Thats just what i have read on the net and mags.
