    Apple Sued Over ITunes Technology

    If you read the article, the company applied for hte patents in 1999. The patent office took untill March of 06 for one of hte patents, and untill tuesday for the other. It's not waiting for the pig to get fat, it's waiting for the government to recognize your innovation. Couple that with the...

    so its installed now what?

    NOOOOOOES! The tubing isn't supposed to go on that far... I am suprised it isn't leaking. The barb that you got the tubing on "90%" is actually correct, the other one is a disaster waiting to happen.

    D-Den 8800 quality and corrosion (pics)

    QFT 5 bux says that DD will replace that block damn near instantly. I use all DD parts in my loop (well, aside from the 77 bonni core) and have nothing but good to say. It's a sad fact of production that there are some that slip out, especially when you have to ramp up production quickly as...

    RIAA Targeting Colleges

    Here at Purdue (woot for being in the top 5), the campus is wireless, yes. But in order to log in you have to provide username and password for your school computer account. Makes it fairly easy to see who is DLing gigs of pirated music. The other side of the story is, at Purdue we have a...

    MySpace To Offer Parental Control Tool

    1. The principal isn't a total jackas (remember, from my high school) 2. The kid was a nut-job. Hell, he stalked me for a year (See changing schedules for the sole purpose of being in the same class) 3 See my reply about threatening to kill the prinicpal Expelling a student from school...

    MySpace To Offer Parental Control Tool

    Hell, college, employers, even the millitary use myspace and facebook to spy on people. Back in my home town a kid was stupid enough to make a profile to badmouth and threaten the principal of the local HS... got kicked outta school

    Does Apple Have A Music Monopoly Issue?

    Actually, now that I think about it, there are no LEGAL ways to get around losing your audio collection. Any circumvention of DRM software is a violation of the DMCA... so yeah, you do, legally, lose all of your music if you switch to a different player.

    Does Apple Have A Music Monopoly Issue?

    Just like standard oil was just out to make a profit... The only music you can play on an I-pod is I-tunes music just like the only oil you could ship on Standard's train network was Standard Oil. It limits competition and hurts the consumer.

    Does Apple Have A Music Monopoly Issue?

    You are absolutely right, you aren't forced to use I-tunes, or the I-pod... but if you have been using it for a couple years, have an extensive music collection bought from the I-tunes store, and want to switch to a different media player (IE, zune, creative labs, etc) you cannot do that without...

    Does Apple Have A Music Monopoly Issue?

    The problem is that the chips used to power the I-pod natively support WMA. Apple intentionally cripples that feature. Why would apple intentionally cripple a feature that makes it's product more robust? Could it be so that previous users of I-pods wouldn't consider switching to a different...

    FInally Happened

    If it doesn't work out, I have a s939 proc sitting around from another project that I can just put into an AGP board and finally move more towards the future. But, if thats teh case, I will miss being able to hit 240mhz fsb (480 ddr) on an AXP... sad day.

    Started the Modding to fit my WC stuff in Lian Li PC-65B..

    I currently (well, kinda) have a PC-6077 which is the same size as your case, with a '77 bonnoville heatercore (see bigger than a standard dual radiator), bay res, DD12v pump, two cd drives, three hard drives and EVERYTHING internal. Cooling the CPU and GPU. The trick is to take up the top...

    Need a good AGP s939 board

    I found an Abit AV8 on e-bay for around 10 bux right now (cross fingers for no price increase) BUT newegg stocks the Asus A8V apparently... we'll see what happens

    FInally Happened

    Well, after nearly 2 and a half years of watercooling, it has finally happened. I got a leak. But no, this is not your ordinary leak. This is a major OMFGWTFBBQ leak. You see, my pump failed to start up last night, causing my CPU to overheat. For some reason, the CPU got hot enough...

    Need a good AGP s939 board

    Title says it all. I had a little bit of a problem w/ my watercooling last night on my Athlon XP rig, and I'm still not sure whether the CPU / mobo is good. The pump didn't start up and the thing overheated enough to warp the lucite top on my lock, and guess what, leak. So I can't test the...

    Nanotubes act as 'thermal Velcro' to reduce computer-chip heating

    WOOOHOOO! Go Purdue Engineering!!!! (I'm a Freshman E there) Also, GO NO MORE CHEMISTRY EVER! err... that was off topic. But back on topic, you should see the cooling lab we have up here, it's pretty cool (no pun intended)

    Adding a switch to my thermal monitor?

    Here is the important question that most of you are probably overlooking... what good does the readout do while: 1) not lit 2) and he is asleep I suggest switchign it off of the power lead and just shutting down the whole temp moniter.

    WC Fluids

    somehow i dont think he's gonna be hitting -30C with a watercooling loop... unless he plans on running a chiller, and thats a completely different story. 90/10 distilled and antifreeze (pentosin included) is what I run, and it works just dandy

    Bull VS Fact In Cooling

    teh amount of AF you should be adding (5%) will compromise your cooling... SLIGHTLY. I'm not really sure what made you bring up this tirade though... it seems strange to me.

    s939 waterblock in a Shuttle

    I know that the HS mounts for shuttles are not the same as other a-64's. My question is... what mounting system do they use? p4 478? 775? I'm getting a nearly complete shuttle setup for free and was contemplating a WC system in it. Also, recomendations for LOW PROFILE blocks in 3/8" tubing...

    Should I leave my pump on 24/7?

    1) This thread is useless without pictures! 2) I still contend that he is only getting half of the circuit (whether I'm right on the voltages or not) because he is probly hooking one wire up to the "third prong" in relation to a standard electrical outlet. Post a picture of the relay, or...
