Testing a newly build PC
via gHacks technology news by Martin on May 04, 2008
Testing a newly build or purchased computer is essential for two reasons. The first is to make sure that the hardware does not get damaged.The main problem of most modern PCs is heat, each device can only cope with a certain amount of heat and if that heat rises above a level the device was designed to endure it can lead to hardware damages and data corruption.The second reason is to make sure...

Zipang... Cipangu... Giapan...
via J-List side blog by Peter in Japan on May 04, 2008
The name of Japan in its own language is nihon or nippon, alternate readings of kanji characters that mean "origin of the sun," a name given it by China, written 日本. The two names are interchangeable, with nihon being used in everyday speech and nippon used in more formal situations, for example by lawmakers or the straight-laced newscasters on NHK, Japan's version of the BBC. The first...

Japan has been undergoing a "Miyazaki Prefecture Boom," lately, thanks to its governor, former TV comedian Sonomanma Higashi, a discovery of director/comedian Takeshi Kitano, who appeared on Takeshi's Castle for years.

via J-List side blog by Peter in Japan on May 04, 2008

regarding GTA IV and the morality patrol
via WWdN: In Exile by wil@wilwheaton.net (Wil Wheaton) on April 27, 2008
With GTA IV coming out tomorrow, the usual gang of idiots are up in arms about how this game will lead to the end of civilization as we know it, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria, etc. As I said in my PAX keynote, this sort of moralistic chest-thumping makes me a little stabby:Whenever I hear [Hillary Clinton, Jack Thompson, etc.] pontificate about how dangerous and antisocial and...

Apologies
via benjamingolub.com by Benjamin Golub on May 04, 2008
... especially want to apologize for anyone who installed the widget and had their site negatively impacted by my problems. I recommend that you switch to the FeedBurner FeedFlare which will not slow your site down (unless FeedBurner acts up; which I highly doubt).I’ve made a few changes to the site which should help and will be making even more changes tomorrow. Again; I’m sorry!

Windows XP Service Pack 3 Uxtheme.dll patch
via gHacks technology news by Martin on May 03, 2008
The first operating system that I setup anew on my new computer was Windows XP which was also updated with Service Pack 3. One thing that I noticed when trying to change to my favorite Thallos theme from the default Windows XP theme was that it was not possible because I forgot to patch the file uxtheme.dll which protects the system from third party themes.The uxtheme.dll patcher that I had...
