Get Internet Access When Your Government Shuts It Down
These days, no popular movement goes without an Internet presence of some kind, whether it's organizing on Facebook or spreading the word through Twitter. And as we've seen in Egypt, that means that your Internet connection can be the first to go. Whether you're trying to check in with your family, contact your friends, or simply spread the word, here are a few ways to build some basic network connectivity when you can't rely on your cellular or landline Internet connections. Do-It-Yourself Internet With Ad-Hoc Wi-Fi Even if you've managed to find an Internet connection for yourself, it won't be that helpful in reaching out to your fellow locals if they can't get online to find you. Advanced freedom fighters can set up a portal Web page on their network that explains the way the setup works, with Daihinia instructions and a local download link so they can spread the network even further. Back to Basics Always Be Prepared In the land of no Internet connection, the man with dial-up is king.

Hi, I will be giving you the guidelines on how to make your own pixelated PC! You can either follow my builds by watching any of my videos/pictures and building along or make a whole new sprite that has not been made yet. Due to the length of the project I will give you major useful points to assist you in each stage. Here is a list of things you will require ITEMS: 1. 2. 3. 2 bottles of wood glue. 4. 5. As your character/sprite may differ from mine I will give you guidelines and tips on how to build and get around any problems that may occur in the building process. CONSTRUCTION STAGE: This is a album of the Link case so you can follow my build frame. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. PC INSTALLATION STAGE: 1. 2.After the Motherboard is in place install the CPU and CPU fan. 3. 4. 1. 2. 3. 4.

Duct Tape 20 Sided Computer Server
I'm in a group who call ourselves Team Boom Tape. We are a PC gaming team who also happen to have a certain love for building things with duct tape. In preparation for MillionManLan 9, we decided to build a computer server housed in duct tape. We've done this before (a couple times, in fact), so we wanted to make something special. We decided to take on a giant duct tape D20. A D20 is a 20-sided die often used in role playing games like D&D. It may seem that sticking server computer components inside is completely random and unnecessary, but this was in fact a machine which we would hook to the LAN and run games (like Team Fortress 2) and apps like Teamspeak and a live video stream. Here's a look at the finished product:

How to Watercool a PC
Why would you want to water cool a PC? First of all it can much more quiet and it drops the temperature of your computer greatly. My quad core went from 50C under load to 28C Idle and under load! It is also good for overclocking. I really enjoy water cooling and it recently became one of my new hobbies. The image shows my build before I cleaned up the wiring.

5 Ways Modern Men Are Trained to Hate Women
Photos.com I don't know what it's like to be a woman, so it's not easy for me to describe what it's like to be a man, because I don't know what you're using for context. I'm going to do my best: Did you ever watch old cartoons where a character is starving on a desert island, and when another character approaches, he's so hungry that he imagines the other character as a talking piece of food? Via TV TropesThird panel omitted due to graphic content. It's like that for most men, most of the time. Right now I'm reading a book from mega-selling fantasy author George R.

SCHOPENHAUER'S 38 STRATAGEMS, OR 38 WAYS TO WIN AN ARGUMENT
Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860), was a brilliant German philosopher. These 38 Stratagems are excerpts from "The Art of Controversy", first translated into English and published in 1896. Carry your opponent's proposition beyond its natural limits; exaggerate it. The more general your opponent's statement becomes, the more objections you can find against it. The more restricted and narrow his or her propositions remain, the easier they are to defend by him or her. Use different meanings of your opponent's words to refute his or her argument. (abstracted from the book:Numerical Lists You Never Knew or Once Knew and Probably Forget, by: John Boswell and Dan Starer)
IT Education Trends
When it comes to information technology training in the U.S., smaller and nontraditional education institutions are gaining at the expense of traditional colleges and universities. Non-U.S. institutions are also gaining. This week I attended an event where I heard a keynote speech by Harris Miller, President of the Information Technology Association of America. Community colleges are growing their market share. Michael Standaert over at the Online Universities Weblog has some startling statistics.

A turning point for education? Trends to watch in 2012. - Microsoft in Education blog
Will the year 2012 prove to be a turning point for education? There’s certainly an ever-increasing spotlight on the quality of education and an interest to help improve it from all corners of society. As I travel around the world, I see many technology companies increasing their focus and investment in education. And I think it’s time for the industry to pull together to think not just about winning and losing, but how we can do what’s right for students and make learning better. I’m inspired everyday by the work of teachers, school leaders, policymakers, and business leaders who have made improving education worldwide a facet of their lives. With the ever-changing economic climate, the next year is sure to be filled with both challenges and opportunities. 1. 2. 3. 2012 is when the cloud moves from a curiosity to a necessity. 4. 5. 6. 7. I think it will be a very exciting year.
