Anyone knows what was happening? I have no idea what the hell the commenter is talking about but that's beside the point; I felt completely heartbroken after viewing this video that shows with spine-tingling details, a brand new Porsche 911 being destroyed and turned into a soulless pile of scrap metal.

Anyone who knows German, we would like to know why....

FireFox always using up CPU power

nerd nation — Sat, 14 Apr 2007 22:59:28 +0800

My FireFox browser is always using up CPU processing power. Very often all of a sudden it will use up about 50 to 70% of CPU and stay that way forever until I close the browser. There is clearly something wrong somewhere but I have no idea what the problem is. Any thoughts anyone? Thanks in advance.

Article from: NEWS.com.au

US comedian and actor Eddie Griffin has walked away unscathed from a crash that totalled a rare Ferrari Enzo worth $US1.5 million ($1.85m) during a practice run for a charity race.

Griffin was was practising for a charity race to promote his new film Redline when he drove too fast around a curve at the Irwindale speedway in California and smashed into a concrete barrier, the Associated Press said.

Video footage showed the red sports car screeching before it bounced off the barrier with heavy damage to its front.

"Undercover Brother's good at karate and all the rest of that, but the brother can't drive," said Griffin, referring to one his past films, afterwards.

The film's publicist, Wendy Zocks, said Griffin was OK.

"He walked away completely unscratched, but probably a little shaken," she said.

The Enzo was owned by the film's executive producer, Daniel Sadek, whose exotic car collection was featured in the movie.

Sadek said the car was beyond repair and that he had "mixed feelings" about the wreck.

"I'm glad Eddie came out of the crash OK, but my dream car got destroyed," Sadek said.

"I went to my trailer for about 15 minutes and I thought, there's people dying every day. A lot of worse things are happening in the world."

Only 400 Ferrari Enzos were ever produced, all between 2002 and 2004.

Griffin's credits include the comedies Undercover Brother, Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo and its sequel, Date Movie, and Norbit.

So how many left in the world now?

Problem with memory card reader

nerd nation — Sun, 04 Feb 2007 00:21:51 +0800

I have a problem with my compaq B3800 laptop. the laptop has a memory card reader and beside it is a Memory stick logo. So i think it should be able to read my sony digi cam memory stick pro duo 512mb card.

But it seems the slot doesnt fit the card. its somehow too loose for the card. Another thing i wanna know is should I remove the dummy card and put the memory card into the slot or put the memory card ontop of the dummy card and insert both together?

Anyone using compaq/hp laptop?

Any help would be much appreciated. thanks.

SpinRite v6

nerd nation — Fri, 24 Nov 2006 10:41:28 +0800

Anyone used this software before? FYI, its a hard disk recovery and diagnostic tool which has got pretty good reviews from sites.

There are 5 options there. I don't know which one I should use. My hard disk probably has some bad sectors and corrupted data. I've backup the good data and I'm willing to lost all the corrupted data. Now what I want is just to fix the disk from any errors, be it label the bad sectors as bad, or fix them so that they can be usable. I just don't care. I only want the disk to be free from any errors even if it means losing some capacity. Since I've backup the good data I probably don't need data recovery to be done. Which option should I use? Any help much appreciated.

PC jerks once awhile.

nerd nation — Tue, 21 Nov 2006 00:36:10 +0800

i have this weird problem that is very irritating. my laptop jerks once awhile. its kinda like the lagging in a game but this happens even when idle. its hard to describe but think of this, if u drag the mouse cursor across the screen, u could see the cursor at some point freezes then continues. there must be some processing going on or something but i dont know what causes it. it even affects when i'm playing music or games. any thoughts?

Check Disk problem

nerd nation — Sun, 19 Nov 2006 10:10:35 +0800

When i ran CHKDSK c:\f\r\x it ran fined up until verification of file data (stage 4 of 5). It seemed it would stop at 0 percent forever but the harddisk is busy. How long does this stage take? I've waited for 10 mins and its still have 0 percent. Is this normal?
