Introduction - Change Motherboard and save operating system
Microsoft support articles are effectively (almost completely) silent on the subject of adapting an installed operating system to a different motherboard. Because there is no official guidance from Microsoft, Windows users have developed a variety of methods on their own. With no standard procedure, users variously modify basic methods with alternate procedures. Following are the various methods reported to be used successfully by Windows users. All known alternate procedures for each basic method are included.
Moving XP to new MB or Computer
Changing a Motherboard or Moving a Hard Drive with XP Installed
X-Setup Pro is a so-called "tweaker" program; it allows you to change settings that are normally hidden deeply in Windows fast and easily. There are many hidden settings in Windows as well as in a lot of other programs and normally you can't change them.

Process Viewer for Windows NT and 95/98
PrcView is a process viewer utility that displays detailed information about processes running under Windows. For each process it displays memory, threads and module usage. For each DLL it shows full path and version information. PrcView comes with a command line version that allows you to write scripts to check if a process is running, kill it, etc.
These screensavers are written for Windows. They use OpenGL and require OpenGL hardware acceleration for optimum performance. If you don't have it, you probably need a better video card because these won't run at top speed and they won't be nearly as mesmerizing as they could be.

Keith Lofstrom: Linux Backup-to-Disk Page
I have been writing books about the Oracle PL/SQL programming language for the last five years. In 1999, O'Reilly published my fourth book, Oracle PL/SQL Programming Guide to Oracle8i Features, which created a bit of an uproar among my readership, caused considerable discussion within O'Reilly, and led to my writing this article.

DVD Player Benchmark - Part 5 - Progressive Scan DVD
To better understand the upcoming concepts on Progressive Scan DVD Players, one must first be armed with some basic knowledge of how the NTSC television system works, how film gets transposed to it, and how all that relates to the newer progressive scan television displays. The following information is not intended to be a definitive paper on the subject, but should serve as a good introduction for all.

Apparently, they've come out with software IPSec VPN clients that address some latency issues, so that people can connect to their IPSec VPNs via satellite.
From the outset, let me say that "Structured Text" is probably a bit of a misnomer. It's more like "Relaxed Text" that uses certain consistent patterns. These patterns are interpreted by a HTML converter to produce "Very Structured Text" that can be used by a web browser.

To say I was impressed with the Steelhead would be an understatement. I have tested other file caching systems, and none have come close to delivering the overall time reduction provided by this product. Furthermore, Steelhead is self-tuning and virtually maintenance free. A true appliance, this box is as close to a hands-off device as you will find.
LittleGreenFootballs or Late German Fascists? (the LGF quiz)
I was inspired to build this quiz when I noticed that comments on Littlegreenfootballs.com (a popular warblog) tended to be indistinguishable in tone and content from the writings of Adolf Hitler, Heinrich Himmler, and the other architects of the "final solution."
stuff: Creating an initrd image on Debian GNU/Linux
When I started booting a box with multiple SCSI adapters, I wanted to keep the device ordering sane. I find it's best when the boot ordering matches the order in which Linux initializes the drivers for each controller. One effective way to handle this under Debian GNU/Linux with one of the stock kernels is to create a custom initrd image.
The McCollough Effect - An On-line Science Exhibit
I know what you are thinking: this is a simple afterimage effect. If you think so, walk away from your terminal until you think the after image should be gone. Go home and try it in the morning. Then take a look. Or better, simply rotate the image. Well, maybe that isn't so simple with a CRT.

HANNITY'S LIES ABOUT KERRY, DEBUNKED
About a week ago on Hannity & Colmes, Sean Hannity spewed a litany of lies about John Kerry being a flip-flopper and tax raiser, lies that came directly from the Bush campaign. Oddly, Alan Colmes did not respond. So we will.
"ports" is a searchable database for official and unofficial port assignments.
Adder allows you to inject a python interpreter into any win32 process. That interpreter then runs a script within the context of your target process which is able to instrument and modify the target in any way it sees fit.
They set the DPI of the screen to 120 (instead of 96), so IE scales up the images on every webpage (really badly) and makes them all look like shite.
I can't believe anyone would willingly use such a setting. I think the idea is that it will automatically scale all your fonts (yay), but it also fuxx0rs your images (boo).
PearlMagik.com - Winbolic Link
Winbolic Link creates special folders which serve as links to the contents of another folder. They are functionally similar to "symbolic links" which unix users are familiar with.Winbolic Link creates these links using only built-in functionality of Windows. It does not extend or modify the functionality of Windows or the file system, or require any service to remain running to maintain functionality. It merely creates the special kinds of files and folders Windows already supports, but which Microsoft did not distribute tools to create.
