Chrome OS Virtual Terminal

I just recently received a Google Chrome CR-48 notebook. After loads of searching, I've learned that you can get to a vritual terminal by hitting CTRL>ALT>T This is big, since there is no file manager. Just a heads-up for all lucky owners!

EDIT: It looks like there are no usual commands with this thing.... just network stuff. Dang.
EDITx2: It looks like a fully-functional terminal is only in dev mode. That's the solution. Just switch into dev mode, go to CTRL>ALT>T and type "shell"

SilentMods

I've been starting work on a project that involves a lot of heatpipe manipulation. I had no idea how to obtain heatpipes, and build any form of a heatsink. Luckily, I found www.silentmods.com. This site has EVERYTHING I could need to know about heatsink-making. I highly recommend this site for anyone who wants to perform a heatsink-related project.

Previews in Google: Pretty Epic

So apparently Google makes a preview now when you click the text below one of the links returned in a search. I know that this is personally something I'll use all the time. Nice job, Google! :D

Core i7 X 995: The Unreleased (but benchmarked!) CPU

http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i7+X+995+%40+3.60GHz

This is a first as far as I know. A CPU that is benchmarked but currently unreleased (as I can tell from google.) It's a nice amount faster than the 980x with the pretty major clock increase. bet this thing will OC like crazy.

Cool new Forum!

One of the guys known on various forums as Lucasbytesgenius just created a cool new forum. It seems really nice and I suggest you try it out @ http://enigmachs.com

Compaq must die!

Good advice: NEVER use a Compaq SCSI hard drive. I've been using one for only a few months and when I booted up today, I discovered that a good amount of my programs were corrupted! Great..... Now I get to have a fun day of reinstalling EVERYTHING on my WD400. Emphasis on the "WD" in WD400. I've never, and I mean NEVER, had trouble with a Western Digital drive.

Now the Compaq might have died because it fell a couple inches inside my case once. While it was running. This isn't the first time I've had trouble with Compaq hard drives, though. Of course, they've all been old. So maybe it wasn't too bad back when it was one year old, instead of ten, but how should I know? The only thing I know for sure is that you CAN'T GO WRONG WITH WESTERN DIGITAL! Take this as a lesson: only use hard drive brands THAT YOU KNOW!!!!

Various Experimentation: Geforce 8400 and Celeron D 356 ES

As you can see, after raising my PCI-e voltage .1v up to 1.6v, I managed to pull about 115MHz more out of the GPU and a few MHz more out of the memory. I would've went higher on the GPU, but afterburner actually wouldn't let me go any higher. The slider just wouldn't go any farther. Any advice is appreciated. I also raised the PCI-e frequency to 100MHz in the BIOS (from 90, I think). I don't think it makes much of a difference, though.

As you can also see, I got my Celeron D up to 4.75GHz @ 1.6v VCore. My temps were out of control when I first tried, but it turned out that since I have my heatsink taped down it needed more thermal paste to make adequate contact. THAT's another story. ;)
