    Storage Solutions HDD very noisy....

    Well, sunny boy, that sound is an indication of your HDD being completely screwed. See if the HDD is heating up when you start hearing the sound. If it does heat up, its probably an indication of your read/write head scraping against the disks. I had a 40Gig seagate hdd last year which...

    Guide Get IP's Of Your Friends on Yahoo and MSN

    Actually, you won't have to send a file. What you can do instead is enable the option "Allow me to connect directly to my contacts when sending messages" in the Security tab of the MSN Messenger Options. This way, even while sending IMs, you'd be connected to your contact. Same goes for Yahoo...

    Case Fans ??

    Hmmm, from what i have seen with fans, often, fans with large sweeping blades offer good airflow. Just make sure the blades are of good quality, and are inclined at a large angle Regards Inzider

    Broken Heart :(

    Well, everyone does have a broken heart sometime or the other. 3 years is a long time, and people bond a lot in 3 years. It isn't too easy to let go of something you had for 3 years. But look at it this way, that 3 year relationship it isn't going to make a difference to how you will live from...

    Broadband rates may fall this week

    I agree with you only on few points there. The download cap idea is a stupid one, and is absolutely illogical. But, these caps will go. I'm a Bangalore AirtelBroadband subscriber. I was earlier on a 350mb capped download plan at 128k. Then came the night unlimited surfing plan, and now, im on...

    How to keep a Coke bottle fizzy!

    @Sheriff : The bottle isn't regaining shape in that way. The pressures are equalized by the CO2 which comes out of the liquid. If putting the CO2 into water was that simple, then don't ya think that if you squeezed a half consumed coke in an unaqueezed bottle for long enough the CO2 would go...

    How to keep a Coke bottle fizzy!

    @hellfire Actually, i think i low pressure is created. This is how. When you squeeze the bottle, all the air is thrown out. Then you cap the bottle. Now, the volume of air inside is less. The bottle is trying to regain it's old shape. So notice, that if you were to open the cap a little, air...

    Linux Aces & Ubuntu

    Sudo would actually be a blessing for n00bs, cuz usually, they end up using IRC and other stuff as root. Not a very good idea doing that.

    How to keep a Coke bottle fizzy!

    The reason for the Coke getting "Defizzed" is cuz thats the nature of Carbonated water. It isn't really stable, as in, as soon as you pour it out, the Carbon dioxide in the water escapes as bubbles. So if you were to squeeze the bottle, the bottle would try to come back to it's original shape...

    Custom email domain...

    Well i guess you're on a real "budget" then. If you're using the .tk service, then you won't get the option to modify the MX record. You will however get some normal Mail forwarding. The best bet, if you need a professional look, is to go in for a domain. However, before you register a domain, i...

    oc and ac

    Hmmm. Getting me a little concerned here. Had plans to make a micro air conditioner for the system, and get rid of all the system fans except the proccy and gfx card fans. Planned to seal off all vents on the cabby, and pad the others with silica gel bags. Think it would work ?

    Broadband rates may fall this week

    @nikhlesh : I agree with you partly on your statement there. The speeds we get here aren't the best in the world, but they are still something. A few years ago, such speeds were unimaginable, thus letting people believe that having a 256kbps connection is indeed great. For now, it is great...

    Custom email domain...

    Well, if you want something really really cheap, then you can do as follows. * Register a domain name. * Register a webmaster account at Gawab.com for free * Get the MX Record details from Gawab, and make the changes in your Domain's MX Record * Set up a login page somewhere What this will do...
