I found a form on their site and just used that.
I feel all early adopter and shit.
eta: also useless, since their form bounced the mail back
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Strawberry disappointment.
So I'm going to install a new motherboard at the weekend. Any hints or tips? Any hidden pitfalls to watch out for?

About time with their piece of shit, security-compromised software.

I need to try Firefox, to see why it's making a dent, and Opera never really did.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It's because Opera doesn't have some cute mascot like a fox or a giant lizard.

ita, I really like Firefox a whole lot. I installed it on everything. Even my office computer and I made the tech support people come in and install the software. The integration of various search engines ALONE is cool ass shit.
The find feature absolutely rocked my wurld!

mr. flea was on the phone with our DSL tech support last night for an hour and got no love. We seek a solution, or even plain insight, into the following problem:
We have DSL. It works fine, except our upload and dowload speeds are about 1/10 those promised by the company. Upload speed is 17Kbps; download more like 160Kbps. These speeds are consisten for things like - downloading iTunes, uploading photos to Ofoto, moving documents to and from mr. flea's work computer. Thing is, when the DSL tech support had mr. flea do their special speed tests last night, he got great speeds. On their special speed test sites. He still got crap speeds on the stuff he actually uses.
Secondarily, can people who have Wifi tell if you are stealing it? Because we could just steal it from the frat boys next year and save $30 a month.

Make sure the screws aren't touching the case. Use those screw thingies that lift the board off the case if you can, otherwise use the rubber circles under your screws. Make sure your MB supports your processor and RAM before installing. Be prepared that you may have to reinstall your OS to go with your new MB.

Somebody posted an article about this over the weekend, here or in Natter. I think if the lights on their router blink madly when they're not using the internet it's a tip-off.

Thanks for that, Wolfram - it was here, and I found it. Since 7 guys live in the house, the lights on their router are probably blinking all the damn time anyway.
Down side is, they'll move out in May. But the new ones will probably have Wifi too...
