Brafilm.com

What a bunch of suckers they are. I just applied and got accepted for a second free period. It’s a quick, easy and free way of getting six movies (or so) on DVD and then rip them to your hard drive for later viewing. And a nice way to catch up on movies that you [...]

New Radeon drivers + 3DMark03

Quite an interesting week for those of us with high end gfx accelerators. Hehe.
A new set of Catalyst drivers is out. The fresh 3.1 driver claims to add from 2-40% performance depending on the specific game. Unlike some other players on the hardware scene (Matrox and nVidia) ATI seems to take the situation seriously. They [...]

The wonderful world of Direct Connect

What is so wonderful about it? Well, it is individualistic and collectivistic at the same time. People are free to share or withhold data but either way they have to face the consequences. If everyone cooperates the outcome will be far more profitable for everyone than if they just look after their own house. It’s [...]

Leeching, leeching …

What else is there to say. Hopefully I will be back to normal soon. And hopefully I will get over the slight inconvenience of having lost the WinXP boot partition. This broadband thing has been disasterous so far in that I haven’t been able to do anything BUT download stuff and play around.

HTPC: So .. whats up?

Well. What can I say .. I screwed up a bit. Or maybe I didn’t and it was all a fluke. The thing was that I had everything installed according to what you see on the Hardware page. I fired up the Main PC and got stuck with a blue screen. Despite what people keep [...]

Bootleg DVD Captions

This is basically the only reason I can think of NOT to buy bootlegged DVDs from Asia. Engrish The Two Towers Captions .
“I am Arogon son of Alfred” Funny as hell.

HighLift Systems and Orbital Elevators

HighLift Systems. Seriously cool stuff if you ask me. And probably achievable with the next generation of high tech fabrics. Note that they propose a ribbon and not a tether as such. Maybe, in the light of recent events, companies like this will receive the funding they need to take their projects from drawing board [...]

ITButikken.dk - Impressive!

This was actually my first order with this company and so far I’m impressed. I know that ITB has received a lot of bad press here in Sweden but this is quite frankly something that has been blown out of perspective. You can’t just have satisfied customers. Sooner or later you run into someone hell-bent [...]

Buran Orbiter: Still superior

Since yesterdays little mishap with Columbia quite a few people have questioned the Space Shuttle program. And rightfully so. The loss of human lives seems to affect people more than the material and scientific losses. Maybe this was a good thing after all, a final nail in the coffin that was once a proud and [...]

Finland Postpones EUCD Implementation

Finland Postpones EUCD Implementation. Impressive for a simple parliament. There might be some hope for democracy still. Haha. Hopefully the EUCD implementation will remain as it is, being accepted only in Denmark and Greece. My condolences go to the people …
I also noticed that the article was written by Mikael Pawlo btw. Very cool indeed. [...]
