TechWareLabs have some info on using system restore in WinXP. Every now and then your system hits a snag and you receive the dreaded blue screen of death otherwise known as a BSOD, popups occur at random, or your system may lock unexpectedly. These are just a few of the myriad of problems and reasons why you may have need of a utility known as System Restore.
HWZone have preview info about the Comex 2007 show, which I believe is in Singapore, here and here. Meanwhile YouGamers checked out the Leipzig Games Convention 2007 and OCModShop have Wil Wheaton's keynoteM and more experiences from Penny Arcade's PAX 2007.
Something different from Daryl, some footage from an african safari. It's a bit slow but turns into a big battle between lions and water buffalo, with a croc thrown into the mix.. there's a happy ending, but who will win? :)
Nick noticed that Microsoft have axed their "Get the Facts" anti-linux site. Why did Microsoft finally do away with “Get the Facts”? Not surprisingly, there are no talking points available on that one.Maybe its open-source partners (Novell, Linspire, Xandros, SugarCRM, XenSource, etc.) asked Microsoft to stop fanning the flames.
Bjorn3D checked out life at 1333MHz. First, we were extremely curious why the NVIDIA 680i based motherboard which 60 days ago was the 'holy grail' of overclocking lost so much popularity in the enthusiast ranks, seemingly overnight. Secondly, we were curious to see if the 680i as advertised truly supported the new 1333MHz standard and if so how it performed in a head-to-head comparison against the P35.
A Linux geek has essentially been ordered to install Windows by a court. More info here. "I had a meeting with my probation officer today, and he told me that he has to install monitoring software onto my PC," wrote McCausland. "No big deal to me...that is part of my sentence. However, their software doesn't support GNU/Linux (which is what I use)," continued McCausland.
There's an odd Team Fortress 2 trailer here on GameTrailers, thanks BFM. Apparently also on Steam.
Dopefish spotted this 1 watt CPU from VIA. Now, they have developed the unthinkable - a new fanless processor that chugs along at 500MHz, and only requires 1 watt of electricity to run. And that's when the chip is active; when it's idle, the processor will sip a mere tenth of a watt.
TechZi have some dream PCs compared, with videos, thanks Genesis.
Oh man, I want one of these, thanks BFM. It's really more of an industrial simulator than a game, and we're pretty sure it costs a bit more than a Playstation 3.
Techgage have an article on backing up Linux. In this how-to, you will learn about using rsync and lftp, writing your own scripts and adding them to crontab and of course, backing up to your external storage, NAS and also a remote server running Linux.
