    How can I make my drivers quieter

    Another hardware aint so bad on Linux thread

    Printer support has always been good for me, gone are the days where you have to configure the CUPS server yourself, albeit the nice web based interface, most printers now work out of the box. Can't ask for more in that respect.

    Pattern emerges from Russian Presidents

    I hate Russia. The government, ex-Soviet Union ties and the infectious communism that ruinned countries. Can't stand them. Hate the KGB, even though they don't exist anymore, the FSB is still basically the same thing. Especially with the Alexander Litvinenko murder it's clear what they are...

    Hobbies

    Physical activity wise, I go to the gym to do weight lifting. I used to do a cardio more, but lately it's been upper body strength work. Still want to keep fitness up though, since I'll inevitably play competitive football when I get to uni. Other than that, software development and going out...

    techie IRC

    Don't know of any specific channels, but the irc.freenode.net network has loads of tech/software channels. Some of it is developer or user support for FOSS so it can get pretty hardcore. You can always find something.

    Abit Mobos?

    Though I've never used them personally, I've heard that they're usually very good and reliable. Overclocking support seems to be good too,

    Check the recycle bin. Failing that, do a search for one of the files to see if they're still there.

    Mandriva 2008

    Probably because it wasn't v 2.0, though I'm not sure of that.

    2000 songs - one page

    A lot of great songs there. Think Eric Clapton - Wonderful Tonight is great. The playlist is from Project Playlist, someone's just put a load of songs onto one.

    Old AGP Graphics card for WoW

    The FX 5500 is not on par with the 9800, FX 5900s are. If the PSU supported the previous card, then it should be ok with a similar model.

    Looking for backup solution

    I use rsync at home to synchronise music on 3 computers, one of which is a server. It's a great tool, it only sends deltas of files, not even full ones. My only gripe with it is that it doesn't recognise moved files and transfers them anyway.

    Sony sells Cell plant for $835 million

    Cell isn't just for the PS3, it's for general purpose applications as well. Hence Cell based servers. Different divisions. The article also says that it'll be run by a jointly by the two companies. $835 million is a hell of a lot of money even for these giants. Most football clubs, with global...
