  2. I just want to know everyones oppinion on google chrome, i searched for the topic and it came up with nothing, so if this has already be done let me know, i thought i did it a while back but i cant remember, i like it to tell you all the truth, i think it works quite well, its kinda neat! so tell me what you think about it ~silent
  3. maybe make another pin kinda like this one but having people update it with some good laptops, desktops, or ideas of what to do kinda of like that list that darkbluebox made but have it in a pin on the questions section? ~silent
  4. another idea for this is fiberglass, use some Styrofoam to mold it. not a bad idea, and if you dont have bluetooth add an eternal mod for that?

  7. https://www.revolutiontt.net/happynewyear.php great torrent site less than a day remains for free registration
  8. dude i totally recommend the msi wind u90, i think you can get it at staples, im canadian so.. you can get the u90x from staples for 290, it runs leopard, vista, xp, windows 7, and linux distros, there is a great community at http://www.msiwind.net it is a small netbook nice keyboard size and affordable, and you can put up to 2gb of ram in (when disabling onboard ram), great and affordable ~silentknight329
  9. now the Jasager thing was hardware i thought that was a sweet thing, i almost went out and bought a fon just to do it, and i completely get the whole going hd (that was a great improvement), and i dont think the "sponsors" have made the show go bad because the show hasnt gone bad, i still enjoy it, i dont get half the stuff that happens but i guess the plus side to that is i get to learn and thats the whole point, and another thing is the whole once a week, hard to find stuff to do the show on probably, and now i'm rambling keep it up hak.5 ~silent
  10. one of my favorite parts of the "old" hak.5 was the hardware hacks.. those are the ones i can get and understand.. but now its all programs and stuff, i still watch it because i find the whole show great, but one thing that they should bring back is the hardware side of things ~silent edit: i was also wondering that on the edit cam, because of my slower internet speed i can only view one cam but both have to be running due to the one audio on the right cam, could you make it so we could control audio on both the cams? thanks again
  11. i got some demonoid ones aswell pm me if you want one
  12. ok i'm running ubuntu 8.10 on my wind and i'v been to www.gnome-look.org but i dont know how to install themes... like i said i'm a complete n00b but i'm willing to learn, so if anyone knows how to install them let me know thanks ~silent
  13. i agree with open dns, even if you type the ip adress in instead of domain name it still has the site blocked...

  18. i like my msi wind u90 but i'm still figuring out some driver issues... other than that it is a solid netbook

  22. yah i got a .tar.gz file thats also where i got the "instruction" thing from which i didnt understand there were no hardware drivers detected there was no updates no i have not tried 8.10 could you please give me a link to the usb version thanx and here is the package i downloaded rtl8187se_linux_26.1022.0904.2008_Release.tar.gz it gives me a readme but it makes no sense to me RTL8187SE Linux Driver v1000.1220.2007 for linux kernel 2.6 - Support Client mode for either infrastructure or adhoc mode - Support WEP and WPA/WPA2 PSK connection - Support WMM ================================================================================ =============== < Component > The driver is composed of several parts: (1)Script ot build the modules makedrv (2)Script to load/unload modules wlan0up wlan0down (3)Script and configuration for DHCP wlan0dhcp ifcfg-wlan0 (4)Supplicant source code wpa_supplicant-0.5.3.tar.gz (5)Example of supplicant configuration file wpa1.conf < Installation > Running the scripts can finish all operations of building up modules from source code and start the nic: (1)Build up the driver from the source code ./makedrv (2)Load the driver module to kernel and start up nic ./wlan0up (if "insmod: error inserting 'r8180.ko': -File exists." met, ./wlan0rmv ./wlan0down ./wlan0up should be OK. ) (3)Refer to < Set wireless lan MIBs > to set Wireless LAN specific parameters. < Set wireless lan MIBs > This driver uses Wireless Extension as an interface allowing you to set Wireless LAN specific parameters.

(4)Build WPA supplicant: make If make error for lack of <include/md5.h>, install the openssl lib: 1. Install the openssl lib from corresponding installation disc: Fedora Core 2/3/4/5(openssl-0.9.71x-xx), Mandrake10.2/Mandriva10.2(openssl-0.9.7x-xmdk), Debian 3.1(libssl-dev), Suse 9.3/10.0/10.1(openssl_devl), Gentoo(dev-libs/openssl), etc. 2. Download the openssl open source package from www.openssl.org, build and install it. (5)Edit wpa_supplicant.conf to set up SSID and its passphrase. For example, the following setting in "wpa1.conf" means SSID to join is "BufAG54_Ch6" and its passphrase is "87654321". network={ ssid="BufAG54_Ch6" proto=WPA key_mgmt=WPA-PSK pairwise=CCMP TKIP group=CCMP TKIP WEP104 WEP40 psk="87654321" priority=2 } Note: 1. proto=WPA for WPA, proto=RSN for WPA2. 2. If you want to connect an AP which works under WPA2 mixed mode, you'd better use Realtek customed wpa_supplicant package. (6)Execute WPA supplicant (Assume 8185 and related modules had been loaded): ./wpa_supplicant -D ipw -c wpa1.conf -i wlan0 & sorry for the extremely long post
