Team Xtreem GB PC64 CL3 Review |
|
July 15th, 2007 - Once the latencies were eased up to 4-4-4-8, the modules feltvery relaxed and wanted to clock higher. Since the AW9D-MAX runs out ofsteam at about 470FSB, we had to use dividers to get the modules tooperate at a higher speed. We easily achieved 500MHz at 4-4-4-8 withjust 2.35V but we had to pump more voltage to get it going. We finallyended up at 550MHz (DDR2-1100) which required 2.55V to be stable. Thisis not bad considering that the latencies were pretty tight at 4-4-4-8.

Razer Copperhead |
|
February 26th, 2007 - Here we have the front view and rear view of the RazerCopperhead. The Copperhead is designed to be symmetrical as it can beused as a right-handed mouse or a left-handed mouse. The two mainbuttons are quite large and there''s a semitransparent scroll wheel inbetween the two buttons. We were told that main buttons have been coatedwith non-slip rubber, but the button feels like hard plastic. The mousemeasures in at 5.04 in length and 2.5 in width, so it''s really not abulky mouse...

nMedia Wireless RF Keyboard with Trackball Review |
|
February 21st, 2007 - I just built a brand new HTPC last week. I am using the SilverStone LC14MC HTPC case. The case came with a wireless remote, but I still need to have a keyboard and mouse connected when I want to transfer files via USB, or just sit in my bed and surf the web. Now I really don''t want to shell out a lot of money for both a wireless keyboard and mouse especially since I''m not going to be using it either that much. When you go down to you local computer store the only wireless keyboards and mice are the high-end expensive one.

In Win F43 PC Case Review |
|
February 19th, 2007 - When I hear F430 I instantly think of one of my favorite exotic cars, the Ferrari F430. So when In Win named a case the F430 you would assume it would take on some of the characteristics of the real F430 and it does. The In Win F430 has an amazing car-like paint job, Ferrari-like stylish features, and even something that makes you feel like you are inside of a real F430!

Proxy Servers Gone Wild |
February 15th, 2007 - Proxy Servers Gone Wild
A few years ago a phenomenon was born which, unbeknownst to even itself, was probably the first MFA Web proxy that would spawn a legion of followers. Great demand, fueled by the most adament of crowds - Myspace addicts - drives the demand for proxies relentlessly.
Armies of proxy servers haven''t been the only result of this demand. Users searching for MySpace unblockers and bypass proxies have spawned an entirely new vocabulary of niche slang. Proxies used to be the domain of hackers and geeks, not thirteen year old valley girls. But, as MySpace has become ridiculously popular so have thirteen year old valley girls trying to message their valley boyfriends on MySpace. And on Bebo. And Facebook. And Friendster. The number of social networking sites, MySpace spinoffs and resource sites has grown immensely.
So everyone is hunting for a MySpace proxy site so they can unblock MySpace, or if they are trying to get on Bebo then a Bebo proxy or what you might call a Bebo unblocker. A Bebo unblocker sort of makes me think of medicine. For unblocking Bebo. Yikes.
So in the wake of this relentless army of thirteen year olds regularly trying to thwart their sysadmins and simply getting blocked from every proxy on the Web we have Webmasters teeming with sites ready to deliver. Except they crash all the time, because proxies are a real pain in the butt to run. And not only are there hordes of kiddies trying to use them, real hackers and warez distributors are constantly hunting for fresh new sites to abuse. Yikes again.
Luckily, even though sites are continually blocked new ones crop up every day, and some Webmasters are trying to create stable proxy networks with many suceeding quite well. Proxy top sites, proxy.org and proxy directories can find you new proxies on a regular basis though.
