Hey, fellow nerds...

I was fixing my sisters old HP mini 2133 for some scouting use, and decided to change the Windows vista to more efficient xubuntu. Well, during the installation the computer froze, and after like 20mins of being frozen it shat down. Then i tried to put it back on, and all i get is black screen, i can hear the fans etc. go on but i see nothing.

SO could it be that somehow BIOS got removed? Please help, deuce-bags at Linux forum doesn't seem to care...

It's still dark where you live, go outside.

Army of Shadows a good movie? (Google image search has been firing on all cylinders lately)

[MrCrowley]

Haha the light pollution is ridiculous, I can see about 10 stars. I was an hour out of the city the last few nights and made sure to go out each night and have a look as it's not something worth doing back home.

Army of Shadows is a good movie if you're in to that sort of thing. It's more of an honest look at the Resistance movement than a war film but it is memorable nonetheless and filmed beautifully.

really?



What?
no "sound of music" ?

[MrCrowley]

I've seen it when I was younger, does it have much war in it or is it just based during the war?

I love Soldaat van Oranje, the theme music is awesome and so is Rutger Hauer

[Zeus]

Well I've seen The Bridge on the River Kwai.

I don't watch many films.

Not really offtopic, but have any of you found a smaller brushless fan than this? Ripped it off of an old NVIDIA 7400GS and promptly liberated it from the heatsink and plastic frame with a dremel...

'Sup again SB. Glad I could lure you back for a while.

Also: Proudly (?) introducing, the one and only Ghetto™ Supply, for when you really need to check some old circuits, and don't have much lying around...



Obviously not a safe solution , but I plan on making a final product with a more modern power supply as well... this one has a total of 1 negative rail (-12v), which I simply ignored.

These things work like a charm, working on one as we speak

Ideal for electrolysis, as you can draw +/- 20 amps at 20 volts
