    Windows Kernel Hacking

    I have an SDIO device that I want to reverse engineer. I believe if I can debug the Windows driver sdbus.sys then I could glean the information about how to use this device. So, is there some way I can trap the messages sent to sdbus.sys? What if I wrote a wrapper sdbus.sys, how would...

    HTPC Roundtable

    Ok, I've got a first generation Tivo (pre Series 2) and a DVD player that needs to be replaced. So I am going to build an HTPC, but have a few noobish questions. My current thought is to use MCE. If I go from a pre-Series2 Tivo to MCE am I losing any features that I'd lose from a cable...

    3357NA vs 3457LL

    So my taillight goes out, and I replace it. Manual says use a 3357NA, the actual bulb that I removed was a 3157K, the store only had 3357/3457LL. The bulb I bought and the bulb I removed were both 12V, so I'm guessing 3457 is just a replacement for 3157? What's the letters at the end mean...

    I need an audio CD with 99 tracks.

    For X-Mas I need an audio CD with 99 tracks. I don't care what genre (but I'm guessing this would be a punk CD). I need to order it from Amazon.

    USB Modem /w AT Commands?

    I am looking for a USB modem, that when I connect it my computer it shows up as a new COM port - I can then open the COM port and send AT commands (such as ATD, ATA, etc). Comp USA has several USB modems, but they don't advertise if they have an AT command set and if they are or are not Winmodems.

    Nintendo DS + GBA Buttons

    I searched long and far for this answer, but Google couldn't find me an answer... So I just got a Nintendo DS a few days ago. I was in the Hankering for some Street Fighter Alpha so I dropped my SFA GBA cart into the DS. Lo and behold to my dissapointment that I could not re-map the GBA L...

    Hot Deals - Too Many Stickies

    The Hot Deals has too many stickies. It's not so bad now that half of the Black Friday ones are gone, but there's still too many IMO. Is it possible to concatenate a bunch of these stickies into one post? Also, remove the NewEgg sticky (everyone complains that it sucks). Just some thoughts.

    Cheapskates can celebrate!

    Swiftshader Software Has anyone downloaded the demo to see how fast it is? And when I mean fast, I really mean slow. Discuss.

    Overclocking Question

    Hopefully this isn't asked a lot, but I was wondering about the term "burn in" and the effect it has on overclockability. In particular, if I buy a new processor and run it at stock speeds for a few months, does that reduce the ability to overclock the processor in the future?

    Best on-board audio?

    My P4 motherboard of 3 years died (exploded caps, tried to replace but no luck) so now I'm looking at s939. Good audio is important to me, but I'm also a cheapskate. It seems that no-one really reviews the quality of on-board audio on motherboards. I have a 10 year old SB Live! Value PCI...
