I mentioned the D900 before. I finally got one. It’s everything I expected and more… except for one little detail - some frikin retard at Samsung decided it was OK or even a good idea to cripple the phone by not allowing people to use their own message tone (instead you can only choose [...]

This is my first post after the GigaLanParty 2006 and coincidentally since the start of the semester.
GLP 2006:
- Portugal Telecom screwed us and instead of the 1Gbps that we had last year with 100Mbps reserved for the WCG, we got 200 Mbps with the same 100Mbps [...]

When I made my first  post about my new latptop, there were still two missing  key hardware drivers  - the nividia driver for the  Nvidia GeForce  Go 7400 and the wireless driver which I didn’t bother to compile by hand (and therefore didn’t mention). I’m happy  to report that both  the graphic card and the [...]
