Re: Linksys WRT54G version 1 Wireless Router Trouble

Personally I loved Tomato firmware on the WRT54G series routers when I used to have a WRT54GS v1.1 router. It was incredibly stable and easy to use. Many say it is a lot better than DD-WRT...

Re: new wallpaper suggestions

I have not used a proper wallpaper for a very long time (just default).
However I used to use some from Digital Blasphemy.

Re: Recommended Server OS

In my experience, Webmin made some things easier to a degree. However in the end, the GUI just was not good enough to make a configuration exactly as I wanted. I got it pretty close and then had to...

Re: Recommended Server OS

In the desktop editions yes. However does this apply to the server editions?

Ubuntu Server by default has no window manager of any kind and just installs common packages (perhaps more than Debian...

Re: Recommended Server OS

For those that are interested in what hardware I am running on.
I managed to buy a HP Microserver for a very good price about a year ago. I am very impressed with the unit. It is small, low powered,...

Hi all,

I currently have a low powered server which runs 24x7 mainly for home theatre purposes along with centralised file storage and file downloading. I initially got it up and running...

Re: Asus Engrish!

I have dealt with a number of cheaper, more entry level boards and they all experienced the ASUS syndrome eventually (it was a matter of when). None of them had NVIDIA chipsets, however I'm pretty...

Re: MS-7548 Failed TK Caps

After digging around a bit. Found out that the software is actually called AntiWPA and not WPAKill (although I believe that exists as well). Attached is the readme on how it works.

It explains how...

Re: MS-7548 Failed TK Caps

There is another version of WPAKill (version 3.0 and above) that uses a different method. From memory it used memory hooks to directly change the required parts of winlogin.exe whilst it is executing...

Re: Intel 2200BG issues

Have to agree there. :)

I also love how the WRT54g has a JTAG port on it. Even if you completely trash the firmware, it can be recovered without any sort of issue. Now if only all electronic...

Re: Netgear WNDR3300 Issues

Not sure if any of these would help. However you can check the caps in the power brick, or try a different power brick which is of higher quality. You can also try a different third party firmware. I...

Re: lol

Hmmm fair enough with your assessment on colour printing.

However in my experience, I can get away with 95%+ of my printing to be in black and white. Therefore I invested $100 on a second hand...

Re: Poor Minecraft Performance

By the way. Java does not equate to poor performance. It is perfectly possible to create an application which performs pretty well in Java. :)

Now onto making a more permanent solution with five fan outputs. :nod:

Re: TI83+ graphing calculator

Have you tried the obvious first? On my TI83 (not TI83+), whenever I change the batteries, the contrast/brightness of the screen is set way low. I always have to bump up the contrast when changing...

Re: Old AMD CPU naming system

From the top of my head, an AMD Athlon XP 2600+ is clocked at 2.1333GHz, however it is equivalent to an Intel Pentium 4 2.6GHz (the Netburst based Pentiums).

Re: I need to make a fan controller.

It has been a while since I checked out this thread. I say the easiest and most flexible way of achieving what you want is to connect each transistor to a PWM output. In theory, one could power all...

Re: I need to make a fan controller.

I checked the datasheet for the ATMega48/88/168 microcontroller and it does say the ABSOLUTE maximum current that it will draw is 200mA. The current draw is a function of the operating frequency, the...

Re: I need to make a fan controller.

The datasheet did say it is optional, however adding it would achieve greater noise immunity to the ADC. So it is not needed but it is nice to have. I did check the schematic for the official Arduino...
