    I need some help!!!

    The scanned images are supposedly the forthcoming (but officially unreleased) rankings. It looks like that text I saw was bleeding through from other pages after all. Oh well.

    I need some help!!!

    I have a hunch that these images are fake. I need some help from you guys to see if I'm right. http://img6.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=rank1j.gif For example, check out the bottom of 306kb. What is that really light text that is superimposed on the image? It doesn't appear to be from the...

    Stereo input mod

    @Sparky: I've always assumed that a significant amount of quality is lost in the transduction process. Maybe someone here can fill us in on the inherent limitations of cassette tape audio quality?

    Stereo input mod

    @jtv: Exactly right. I just put in a blank tape, and you can probably cut the reel so it never runs out. You could also cut the power to the tape mechanism motors, but then you lose your tape player functionality. The beauty of the closed-circuit stereo jack is that it lets you keep your...

    Stereo input mod

    @Xanth: That's an awesome idea, and I bet it would work well with smaller PMP's like the nano that would fit comfortably in an existing tape slot. Hahaha, imagine turning to your shotgun passenger and telling him to watch closely as you insert your nano into the tape player! The main...

    Stereo input mod

    For the longest time, I was content with burning CD's in order to make use of my fairly extensive music collection in my motorized carriage. But then my car started to look like a CD printing press vomited all over the interior... So, inspired by some fairly elite modders in some car...

    iPhone

    This is for those Apple aficionados out there: I've historically used the "manually manage" mode for my iPhone due to the size of my library. For various reasons, I'm considering switching to "playlist sync" mode. I'm not sure about these questions though: 1. I'd like the songs that...

    Also, if anyone is itching to tell me about a much better (and preferably free/low cost) backup program, feel free!

    XP built-in backup software

    I set up a daily incremental backup using the built-in XP backup program. It appears to run every day at the set time, but I have observed that the modified-at time-stamp of the destination backup file does not change. So: 1. Does the backup program generate any kind of logs or...

    Ruby on Rails Scalability

    Thanks guys. Crusty--that's what I was thinking as well, which is why I was curious what sites like Twitter that are having scaling issues have done differently. Thanks for the link, trex.

    Ruby on Rails Scalability

    I've heard a good amount about issues with the scalability of websites implemented on Rails. As I understand it, a lot of the scalability problems can be avoided by taking a "shared nothing" approach, which makes intuitive sense. Does anyone have any good input on this? In particular...

    Free note-taking software?

    I'm looking a simple and intuitive program for taking notes in law school classes. The notes will consist mostly of text with simple markup and the occasional chart or diagram. Any favorites?

    Network card resource conflict

    Wanted to update this thread for those interested. So I ended up sending the laptop back to Sony. They replaced a few more things, including the keyboard and the WLAN card (for the 2nd time). When they returned the unit to me, it was still showing the resource conflict. I sent the laptop...
