   I ran fdupes on a random directory once, very interested to see what it would do. After spending an extraordinary amount of time checksumming everything (I don't even remember if it had a progress bar) it spat out a very confusing te

    The main problem with the T60 series is that once they decide to start overheating they're apparently impossible to convince otherwise. I have a T60 here with a fractionally misaligned GPU heatsink. If you take a look at the motherboar

    I'm currently using a T43 I was given it by a friend. I completely completely agree with you regarding the concept that older hardware results in better-designed and faster software. (If I had the money and I could deliver a pallet of

    Wow, thanks so much! pgAdmin looks great, and TIL about MySQL Workbench, which looks awesome (wish there was a PostgreSQL Workbench! :P) - this will be great for learning. Databases are one of those things I know I badly need to learn more
