IDE & SATA I & II to USB 2.0 cable adapter

Gman496 — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 10:03:31 GMT

Model: SS 124ASD from Sataadapter.com

Link to video: (at bottom of page)

It's also available here: (but again it's stateside only)

Looking to get one of these but can only source it stateside.

I'm hoping to avoid the whole get a friend to buy it & ship it syndrome.

I'm also well aware that there's a multiple choice out there, but I particularly like the power setup on this particular one. Any of the flimsy SATA ones, especially the 2.5" ones with the crappy soldered leads that keeps breaking drive me daft :)

Has anyone come across this on any site that will ship to Ireland?

Low Life

I've been following a thread on another forum regarding the theft of a girls laptop in Dublin.

It was a harsh lesson for her.

I think it's worth a read, and to fully appreciate the entire story, you should read it from post one & read it all the way through.

How to Give Facebook a Pink Theme Instead of Blue

Gman496 — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 14:24:16 GMT

While I'm not sure why anybody would want a pink version of Facebook, I'm certain that someone somewhere would like it that way. lol

there is of course a good chance your significant other, Mom, or little sister might want it pink. You can score some brownie points by setting it up for them.

If you�re using Google Chrome as your web browser, all you have to do is head to the link below, and then click the Install button: (see Pic)

If you�re using Firefox, you�re going to have to head over to Mozilla Add-ons, install the Greasemonkey add-on, and then follow the link below and click the install button as above.

If you�re using Internet Explorer, you�re pretty much out of luck, since user scripts don�t work on Internet Explorer.

Note: to uninstall from Chrome, head into Tools -> Extensions and click the uninstall button.

Install Facebook � Pink:

Firefox Not responding

Linny40 — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 17:32:58 GMT

I seem to keep having problems with my firefox not responding. No matter what page i have open if i have more than 1 tab open ( which i do as i have 3 home pages) it will go dull and come up at the top saying ( not responding) then after a few seconds - sometimes longer pages will work.
At 1st i thought it was a facebook thing, but it happens even when a fb page is not open.

Its annoying!! does any one know a reason why or is anyone else suffering this
