[how to] bring your old PC to life


Many of us are old PC users and some of us have old PC's (pentium 2 or maybe even 1) somewhere stored.
This is how to make it Useful again!
-- Install a mini-Linux OS (Damn Small Linux, Puppy Linux or other minimalistic distribution), otherwise (my choice) is to create a "light" XP version. Use nLite and remove anything that doesn't fits in your old PC (Gamepad Drivers, MSN stuff, maybe old printers or Graphic Cards)
--It's DONE! You are ready to go! These machines can be used to download stuff from the Internet while your main PC is safely resting...
My old PC is P2 - 233MHz with 64 MB or RAM and 4 GB Hard disk. It boots Windows faster than my main (newer) PC!
C U!

PES 6 Exclusive for Xbox 360 for 12 months...


Why? Maybe God hates me...
Why the PES 6 which is the game that I most expect in the world has gone exclusive...
Damnit! Maybe its another M$ trick in order to inspire me to post another hoax...
why Konami (which was creating very good games for PS2 and some for the PC) decided to do that? I think that M$'s failure to sell enough xbox 360 has pushed them to destroy another great game game by taking it exclusive... (Like HALO 2) I don't think that many PES fans will buy x360 in order to play their favourite game. It's stupid to think that anyone would give away 400 euros for 1 game. It would be wiser to built a x360 version with improved graphics, stadiums and other crap, than to take it exclusive. This will only destroy the game's reputation.
O r maybe m$ is jealous of the great PS2 and maybe PS3 games that Konami develops (Metal Gear 1,2,3 and hopefullhy 4 ) and wants to take this company down thae drain along with the X360...
I am losing my favourite game...

Wireless! and Tyrkey

I'm back! just for this post...
I discovered that in 2/3 places I visited the last days all of them had wireless access points (which are all UNPROTECTED). My friend Lego (his blog is placed in my links ) has a psycosis with security, and I now know why. These people had their default router passwords, and by that I could do a very painful damage to their Internet connection.
Anyway I do not intend to do any damage but the thing is that I could do without the owner obviously know anything...
For the second part of this post's title, last night I traveled to Athens with a Train with beds. There were 2 Tyrkish students in the same wagon, so we met and discussed some things. Probably one of the most pleasant trips of my life. We found out that we have a lot more in common than things that separates us.
They were going on a trip to visit all the countries on Mediterranean without booking a single ticket! Good Luck my friends and have a good time...
(Leg is propably gonna block me from his MSN contacts now...)

Hard Drive Halleluja!

Thank God for these USB drives. My 40-GB mobile disk (ide-to-usb) fell off while pluged in and transeffering data and didn't sustained any damage. The height was at least 1 meter (3 feet).
Anyways this post is my last for the rest of the August, though I might hit the net sometime, but nothing is sure...
So goodbye, keep blogging and for God's sake dont use drugs!
(completely irrelevant)
P.S. Find Armadillo Run. Its a great game and very small (2mb). Help a yellow armadillo ball escape with some tricks...
TRY IT!

Agressive Marketing

Recently, my girlfriend bought a new Acer Laptop 5102 WLMi after my reccomendation. The Laptop is incredible, Dual-Core, 64 - bit... When I opened the box there was only one cd which I thought it would be the Windows XP recovery Disk. BUT NO! It was "Norton Antivirus for ACER Laptops only". Oh MY GOD! Neither the official site nor the e-shop I bought it from mentioned anything like that. Another surpise: Windows were pre-installed and the drivers were not! That means that they built the hard drives and install the OS without the rest of the machine being built. ANyway there was the Acer tool that installed them all.
My point is that I gave around 800 eyros for things I didn't want included on the price.
This is how MS and other companies achieved the monopoly of OSs'. That thing is called Agressive Marketing.
Twenty minutes after I opened the laptop I wanted to format it because it got to my nerves looking at those things.
Damn you Agressive Marketing...
