    Hitachi 1 TB drive

    You're right. I've had maybe 4-5 IBM/HGST drives and they have all been working fine until I replaced them with bigger drives. So I don't really doubt their reliability. But it can be fun to mess with the sales person when they come with these kind of statements. :D

    Best 20" LCD display

    I'm looking for a LCD that's good for photo editing and playing racing games once in a while. I'm using a Viewsonic VX922 right now and it's perfect for games and lurking on forums, but it leaks (a lot of) light around the edges and it only has 16.2 million colors. I'm leaning towards a 19"...

    My new system

    I would go with the Antec... I only have experience with the older 480 NeoPower but it was reasonably quiet and OK in every way until the day it died.

    Simple business PC

    One not so bad thing about Dell is that they don't install 1.000.000 programs by default. We bought some IBM-crap at work, and it took a few reboots before it was installed. And then the computer had a bunch of useless programs in the start menu.

    Best *nix OS for hosting a website

    Yes, well I was using it on prehistoric Sparc-workstations in the university ... I haven't tried Solaris on X86 before since Sun wanted money for it, and besides I didn't have any need for a *nix OS until now. (I installed Gentoo once a few years ago, but got rid of it after about 5 minutes...

    Best *nix OS for hosting a website

    The last time I played with Solaris before trying 10 was back in 1998 or something, so I might not be the right person to ask. :D It's still a bit tricky to compile stuff out of the box though. But at least it comes with Apache 2 and php4 (php5 is available from sunfreeware.net) and it has a...

    Best *nix OS for hosting a website

    Solaris 10, or maybe OpenSolaris? I've tried Solaris 10 a little bit in VMWare, and it works fine as far as I can tell. But I don't know if it's better than feodora.

    Well, maybe the system only meant for parallel parking? It looks like it from the all the movies I've seen on internet.

    Automatic Parking Toyota / Lexus

    New technologies that they put in cars seldom work 100%, but I'm sure they'll get it right any year now. But it feels a little bit like they've found a solution to a problem that doesn't exist in the first place.

    Now that I've used it some more I think IE7 is more like Syphilis. Left untreated it can cause damage to both the nervous system, heart and brain.

    I built a E6300 last week for a man that wanted an upgrade from his K6-2 450 or something like that. It has 1 GB Corsair ValueSelect DDR-2 667, and ASUS P5V-VM DH motherboard. I would have bought an Intel motherboard, but they didn't have any in stock... Anyway, the system felt snappy and has...

    Crash course in HTML

    Well, you could say that his style of programming is a bit unusual in this millennium. I kind of like the children's page though. Another fine example of HTML-horror and Javascript abuse: www.serietidningar.com, a homepage about comics. By the way, the pop-up in the beginning says that the...

    GM: Best Warranty Coverage Out There

    I think that GM put the black boxes in all their cars. And I also think that they will never give the data away to someone outside the company. I mean, would you buy a Corvette or Saab if you knew that the police or insurance company could take a look at the data whenever they feel like it?

    Crash course in HTML

    I'm pretty lazy, so I mostly just steal the markup from some of my old pages and adjust it a bit, and use CSS to control the layout. I think it's faster than poking around in a WYSIWYG editor. But of course, the best way to get a homepage is to buy it from a real pro, like Swedens own WebIngO...

    Crash course in HTML

    Maybe you should tell your friend to use " around values, as in <font size="5">big</font>? I don't know if it's 100% necessary in HTML4, but it's good if he/she is going to code XHTML sometime in the future. And you wrote </size> instead of </font> after the <font size="5">, otherwise it's fine...

    Audio Equipment

    I think the Classik Movie costs around $4000, they also have a Classik Musik for around $2000, but the Movie apparently plays CD's much better, and the Katans should cost around $1000. Maybe it's a little bit of money, but it's cheap for the amount of sound quality.

    Looks really nice... A cheaper compact alternative might be a Linn Classik Movie connected to a couple of Katans, or something like that.

    Antec power supplies

    Funny, I had the exact same experience with my NeoPower 480 that I bought around October-November 2004, except that the computer had been acting flaky a couple of days before (as in the soundcard stopped working and some keys on the keyboard.) But one day, not too long ago, the computer simply...

    AM2 - Let the Games Begin

    I don't know, but maybe it's related to bandwith limitations of DVI or something? Don't you need two DVI-connectors to run the Apple Cinema 30" at 2560x1600?

    Forum complaints / problems to fix master list

    I don't know, but maybe you could put the forum jump above the quick reply box? Maybe in the same level as the post reply button, but still on the right side? I also like the idea of having a minimize/expand button on the quick reply box.

    Abit: heating the house by burning the furniture

    I have an Asus A8N SLI Premium with my X2 3800+, but it doesn't like my Asus 6600GT Silencer GPU. Perhaps it doesn't like the RAM (Kingston value 2-Gigglebyte kit) or something, but it feels a bit strange that two Asus products doesn't work together... The problem is that the screen shuts down...
