Blindness

[center]BLINDNESS[/center]

[center]A doctor's wife becomes the only person with the ability to see in a town where everyone is struck with a mysterious case of sudden blindness. She feigns illness in order to take care of her husband as her surrounding community breaks down into chaos and disorder.[/center]

[center]

A city is ravaged by an epidemic of instant "white blindness". Those first afflicted are quarantined by the authorities in an abandoned mental hospital where the newly created "society of the blind" quickly breaks down. Criminals and the physically powerful prey upon the weak, hording the meager food rations and committing horrific acts. There is however one eyewitness to the nightmare. A woman whose sight is unaffected by the plague follows her afflicted husband to quarantine. There, keeping her sight a secret, she guides seven strangers who have become, in essence, a family. She leads them out of quarantine and onto the ravaged streets of the city, which has seen all vestiges of civilization crumble. Their voyage is fraught with danger, yet their survival and ultimate redemption reflect the tenacity and depth of the human spirit. [/center]

[Mini-Review] OCZ Vendetta 2

skymyxe — Sun, 18 May 2008 10:22:02 +0800

OCZ Technology Background

[center]Entering the memory market in August 2000, OCZ Technology was built around the determination to manufacture the best high speed DDR and RDRAM. OCZ was founded by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts, and our commitment to the end-user has not digressed. OCZ Technology has been an innovator in many areas. We were the first manufacturer to make Dual Channel optimized memory available to the public, which originally took advantage of nVidia's Twinbank or Dual DDR architecture, found in their nForce chipset. We have now taken that technology and tailored it for the Canterwood, and Granite Bay chipset's. OCZ developed and was the first to implement ULN technology, which has been a critical element in our manufacturing process for some time. We at OCZ diligently work to improve communication with CPU and motherboard chipset manufacturers prior to the release of their products. Only in this manner can we fine-tune our memory's SPD settings, ensuring a synergistic relationship between the memory module, memory controller, and microprocessor. In today's rapidly evolving semiconductor industry, such communication is not simply research, but a necessary component of our manufacturing process. [/center]

INTRODUCTION

The Vendetta 2 is an efficient new CPU cooler with a powerful 120mm fan design for maximum performance. Utilizing a distinctive stacked fin design and trend-setting heat pipe direct touch (HDT) design combined with a large low-noise fan, the Vendetta 2 is built to quietly solve the cooling challenges of today?s most powerful processors.

Utilizing the proven performance of the latest HTD design, the Vendetta 2 has direct contact with the processor using three copper heat pipes to ensure the most rapid heat transfer and a lighter weight. The dimple micro-configuration of the stacked aluminum fins adds turbulence, reducing the skin effect of laminar air flow for more efficient circulation within your case. The versatile and user-friendly Vendetta 2 is compatible with AMD AM2/939/754/755 and Intel 775 sockets and can be installed quickly and easily by end-users at all skill levels.

The Vendetta 2 offers an extra performance boost than the more compact original version. The ultra-quiet 120mm fan, with its anti-vibration rubber connectors to reduce excess noise, sets new standards for extremely efficient cooling performance at a price point that is still enticing to a variety of budgets.

Recommend a Distro

skymyxe — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 18:40:48 +0800

I'm using Celeron 667 with only 256MB and a 30GB IDE Hard Disk.

I've installed Ubuntu 7.10 and it's lagging all the way. My system can't handle it.

Would you guys recommend me any distro that is suitable for me. Main task is for office, web surfing and torrent.

Atonement

skymyxe — Tue, 01 Jan 2008 21:56:21 +0800

I was really interested to watch this movie just after I saw the trailer. I haven't see any official thread of the movie so open a new one here. Anyone who happens to watched it already are very welcome to share your experience

From IMDB:

In 1935, 13-year-old fledgling writer Briony Tallis (Saoirse Ronan) and her family live a life of wealth and privilege in their enormous mansion. On the warmest day of the year, the country estate takes on an unsettling hothouse atmosphere, stoking Briony's vivid imagination. Robbie Turner (Mr. McAvoy), the educated son of the family's housekeeper, carries a torch for Briony's headstrong older sister Cecilia (Ms. Knightley). Cecilia, he hopes, has comparable feelings; all it will take is one spark for this relationship to combust. When it does, Briony -- who has a crush on Robbie -- is compelled to interfere, going so far as accusing Robbie of a crime he did not commit. Cecilia and Robbie declare their love for each other, but he is arrested -- and with Briony bearing false witness, the course of three lives is changed forever. Briony continues to seek forgiveness for her childhood misdeed. Through a terrible and courageous act of imagination, she finds the path to her uncertain atonement, and to an understanding of the power of enduring love.

BEFORE ALL WE KNOW, LIES A LEGEND

XANGO

skymyxe — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 19:09:40 +0800

This is a new product sellin' in the market today. It was introduced by my uncle to my parents and was said that it could help cure many illnesses.

XanGo Juice is a mangosteen juice that boasts a proprietary whole-fruit formula, harnessing a concentrated rush of xanthones-a vigorous family of next-generation phytonutrients. Sounds complex. But here's the straight scoop. Research shows xanthones possess potent antioxidant properties that may help maintain intestinal health, strengthen the immune system, neutralize free radicals, help support cartilage and joint function, and promote a healthy seasonal respiratory system.

As far as it sounds, it's all great. But I wanna ask you guys who ever heard of it or even tried it before. Does any improvements seen?

Teracopy

skymyxe — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 19:39:39 +0800

This is a 3rd party application designed to make copying files for windows become faster. I haven't try it so might wanna ask any of you guys have tried this or any other software as the same as this one. Recommended by my friend using Vista coz he complains bout vista file transfer rate that is really inefficient. So what do y'all think?

Personally I'm contented with XP file transfer. But, VIsta? I don't know. Any opinion guys?
