Nice! Good tip for those not wanting a GUI interface.

I dunno, but I think we should breakout the pitchforks and torches and rally against CERN! They're trying to divide our universe by zero, dammit! :P

I've noticed that the Gawker sites sometimes load a bit slowly. My suggestion for you would be to install the IE Tab extension for Chrome (link below). Will allow you to stick with one browser, but you can configure the gawker sites to load in an IE-powered tab in Chrome.

Someone give this man a star! :)

Haha! I feel bad for slating it now! Maybe it's just this side of the Atlantic that doesn't appear to use it as much, or perhaps it's even just my social circles! My perception is that it's been superseded by things like Instant Messengers, Email (from your mobile), Instagram (if you're on iPhone) and (sigh) Facebook.…

Try 'Backup to Gmail' that I've just mentioned if you want that flexibility. It replicates the SMS thread in your Gmail archive (not inbox) and retains the sender's names. That means you can set up the various filters you need to discard the SMS messages you don't want.

'Backup to Gmail' does the same and a little extra; it can also send MMS (not sure if anyone still uses that, but hey) and your call log to Gmail, each with separate labels.

I rarely use the Lifehacker site search function. I prefer using a site specific search on Google; just prefix your search with "site:lifehacker.com" (less the quotes). e.g. [www.google.co.uk]

Check out iTunes U - there's a lot of Physics and Calculus courses & material that could be useful for supplementing (or perhaps even substituting) you professors' shitty teaching techniques. Alot of the podcasts/vodcasts point to course websites with supporting material, etc, too.

Lifehacker did an article on this last week, actually. Here's the link:

Used to use VMware Workstation 6.5, but I don't use it enough to justify the price tag for the latest version. Downloaded VMware Player instead to try out Win8, but that's what gave me the BSOD. From the comments, it looks like Virtual Box is the best free VM software that currently supports Win8.

A very good point. The other mistake people new to modding/upgrading GPUs make is forgetting to check whether their PC's PSU can handle the load, or even if it has enough cables (newbies don't often realise that higher-end GPUs need a dedicated power cable). There's a really good power supply calculator here: [extreme.…

Yeah, I haven't had much luck with VMWare either. Based on the comments, it looks like Virtual Box is the one to use. Thanks!

Is it a separate partition or disk? If it's a disk, I'd create separate partition for the Win8 install.

Haha, no it's not bad. There's no real difference in performance - a dynamic disk just gives you the ability to do more advanced functions with your partitions, like spanning, striping, etc.

I tried installing Win8 into a VM this morning and it loaded straight into the new BSOD - ouch! That's gotta be a new kind of record! :)

I remember once reading a news article about a person afflicted with hiccups for over 72 hours. He was eventually cured by his doctor prescribing him to smoke some weed! :)

Similar to @TimTim, I'm not a mechanic or Xterra expert, but:

Here's the repair guide so you can judge whether you want to take on repairing yourself. In summary, you pretty much have to dismantle the whole device to replace the front screen. You might also need the special screwdriver to remove the pentalobe screws; ifixit has all parts and tools in their store though.

I don't know of any CDMA networks in Europe, so based on the fact that you probably won't be able to connect to any cellular networks anyway, it's highly unlikely that you'll be able incur data roaming charges. If you're still worried, then there's actually an option under 'Mobile network' settings in Android to turn…
