Recommended Posts

It's been a couple years since I posted in this thread, and I have moved and gotten all new stuff, so here it is:

That's my Dell 700m off to the left, and my new Athlon 64 box that's glowing down below. Next change to the look will be Logitech Z-5500 Digitals!

Oh, and notice how there's practically NO cables running on the floor...a whole mess of them is velcro-tied to the underside of the desk!

From left to right on floor: XBox, Desk (no, really!), lots of cables and my tiny little Cambridge Soundworks 4.1 sub which comes in handy for putting my feet on. Oh and my PC of course.

From left to right on desk: Rear left speaker, 100 CDR spindle, 2x 25 DVD-R spindle, 1 of which contains burnt CD-Rs. Moving on we have a ATI AIW RF Remote and a D-Link DSL-504 Router a top a DVD rack which holds several games, many many burnt CD-Rs, some DVD-RWs, and some DVD-Rs, ZIP Discs and empty CD singles cases. Next we have the front left speaker, Master Chief, 19" Iiyama Vision Master Pro 451 monitor, Optimus Prime (Go Prime! Go Prime!), front right speaker, Philips cordless headphones, Orange SPV E200 in cradle, Volume control, Cup of cold tea, Green XBox controller, Bin, Rear right speaker, Flat batteries out of camera and finally my pain in the arse Epson Stylus Color 760.

I got it at Staples for only $50! Now it's back up to $80, but it's still a good price for how large the desk is:

Just got my new (2nd hand) desk and my new dinovo, i wanted one of these since i read dazlas review on neowin, and im glad i decided to get one, top quality :D

Out of interest is the mx1000 (lazer) a lot better than my mx900 ? and if so will it work in the cradle i have with the devices i have ?

I personally don't like Macs too much, but that iMac looks pretty nice. :o Sucks about the iLife though.

IK: Do you HAVE to quote all of the pictures?  :crazy:

Sorry, didn't realize.

I wish this board did it automatically.

The only thing thats stopping me from buying a mac is financial restraints and the lack of games on macs.

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.

    • Interesting. I'm not using a VPN with my phone. I tried though my home internet (Rogers) and my cellular internet (Telus) using their respective DNS servers and both trigger the dialog above.
