Using Your Desktop to Transport Books
You’re probably thinking to yourself, who in their right mind would possibly transport books in a computer. Well, I would have asked myself a similar question up until about two weeks ago when I met this genius - a self proclaimed computer wizard and Linux guru. Working for the Student [...]

So, hopefully everyone has recovered from Google induced heart attack by now. Luckily the entire Internet wasn’t actually completely consumed by some form of Malware, there was just a glitch in Google’s malware detection system.
With that said, I have decided to attempt to start writing on here again. While I am still enrolled full-time in [...]

I dont know if anyone else has noticed this, but as of 9:50AM EST, Google’s harmful site detection seems to be on the fritz.  As you will see in the attached photo, every single search result appears to be a “harmful site”.  Not only is Google showing this “harmful site” link on the search page, [...]

It’s finally the big day, November 4th, 2008.  Election Day!  Personally, I have already voted (using an absentee ballot); but if you haven’t I suggest that you get out and do it.  It’s really not that difficult, and now thanks to Google you can’t use the excuse that you do not know where to vote.

About two weeks ago, not more than a few days after the end of my Junior year of college, I decided that it was time to do something with my laptop.  My installation of Windows XP Pro was starting to get sluggish and being the impatient type that I can sometimes be; it was beginning [...]

Gmail Custom Time
To start the night off (it’s only 12:20am) I have discovered a dead link in Gmail that definitely was not there earlier today.  The link reads “Gmail Custom Time”, but when clicked takes me to a 404 error page.  Check it out below.  Could this be some new Gmail feature, or the first [...]

Last week, I wrote an article on proper hard drive sterilization and as promised I’m going to follow up today with an article on how to digitally shred individual files.  Let me first start off by saying this.  If you’re some type of cyber criminal and you’re reading this in hopes of destroying evidence, you [...]

Today while trying to install Ubuntu 7.10 on my Desktop, I received this very humorous error, one which I had never seen before.  Apparently this error has something to do with some driver problems associated with ATI graphics cards (the x1300 in my case).  The only solution that I have found so far is to [...]
