Urban Ninja

Just to laught a little bit, watch this funny video called "Urban Ninja"

Imagen if you are one of the people in the video, how do you react ? [:-)

Have you been flowing into the zone latelty ?

Dr Steven Pace from QLD University has researched on one of the most addictive hobbies of the 21 Century, COMPUTER GAMES

The following SMH article explains more in details his thoughts and results, however there is a comment from a gamer that says:

Another reported losing all sense of time when he sat at the computer after dinner. "The next thing it's 3am and everyone has gone to sleep. I didn't even remember saying goodnight to my wife and kids"

I feel so identify with that comment. The thing is when you are not a Gamers you can't understand what happen when for example, you sit for a quick session of BF2 and suddenly you realize that you are having one of those days where every 2 bullets that you fire, you get a kill……or the feeling when a chopper full of soldiers[+5] is locked in your Anti-Aircraft turret, you fire and the left side of your screen says

You killed...

You killed...

You killed...

You killed...

You killed...

In those cases is when you say to yourself "Ok, is late, one more map and then going to bed" but 3 hours later, you continue killing noobs and getting Flags in some part of the middle east or China.

Quote of the Year

Chris Rock's "Quote of the Year"

"You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy,
thebest golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the
Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance
Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in
America are named Bush, Dick, and Colon. Need I say more?"

BRAVO!

Do Remember Commodore computer style?

I remember the days where my computer was a Commodore 64 andall the power was "underneath" my keyboard. Today 20 years later....the design is back!!

An American company call Cybernet has created a computer that fits under a keyboard.

This computers are not gaming or High-end computers, but if you add an external
TV tuner, you have a very slim and easy to hide Windows Media Center PC.

Excellent idea guys!!!!

Win XP SP2 no good for Multiproc PCs

I've playing with my new pc for a couple of weeks now, however the performance of it is not what I expected.
So I opened my Firefox (no comments) and started navigating several AMD forums. I changed some setting, but one post was mentioned something completely new and unexpected:

Computers that are running Windows XP Service Pack 2 and that are equipped with multiple processors that support processor power management features may experience decreased performance

Apparently Windows XP Professional SP2 has issues with multiproc (Hyperthreading seems to be not affected). The KB article mention a hotfix and a registry change. But Microsoft only gives this hotfix after you ring up your "LOCAL" MS Customer Support Centre (local this days means India,China, etc :-) )
I wasn't ready to spend time on the phone to get the file, so then I found the solution http://www.thehotfix.net/
This site contains majority of the hotfix from MS which are not available for Download on Microsoft website. NICE!!!!

Installed, Reg Modified, PC restarted..... BANG!!! Performance improved!!!!!!!

Try it, you will see the difference
