http://www.instructables.com/id/Rework-a-U...ssive-Capacity/ Those UPS devices you buy for your computer usually have a gel-cell battery that lasts for a few years. Less if your power goes out a lot. When you replace them, you pay a bundle, even if it's a standard cell. This short Instructable will demonstrate how to rework an older UPS for more capacity with cheaper battery power. The picture shows some sample UPSs and an example of the gel cell from one of them. The UPSs come in various capacities and, although you can boost the capacity, the output power is fixed. When you start out, make sure that the UPS you're going to modify will provide the volt-amps an…

Hi - anyone have any leads on what retail stores may be getting more Wii's this weekend or next week? Target told me they get shipments throughout the day, but a worker told me they only put them out in the morning. Anyone know anyone who works in a retail store that may know when shipments usually come? Thanks and good luck!

So I accepted an offer from KeyBank (wasn't even looking actually) to help them build and manage a new KeyBank Branch in University Plaza across the street from UB South Campus. The construction vehicles are there leveling the ground out now and we open our doors September 26th with the grand opening celebration October 18th. I have been busy interviewing and hiring staff as well as my own KeyBank training. It's been fun and the people are great so I made a good move. Merrill Lynch was a great company to work for but this opportunity to build a new branch from the ground up literally doesn't happen often.

We have had several successfull lan parties over the course of the past few years and would like to expand the parties so more people can join in on the fun. What we would like to do is have a membership. When we rent out halls/backrooms/etc we would have to charge to cover the costs. Members would obviously pay a reduced rate. The range could be anywhere from $5 a party to $20 a party depending on where and what is included. We have found some great rates and are in the process of booking dates. Of course this doesn't mean we're not going to have those freebies!!!!!!! It's just that the cost is starting to hit us in the pocketbook. Think about it…

MS Technet Setting this value to 1 is useful when debugging drivers, because all of the code and data is always memory resident. It also improves performance on machines with a lot of memory, because it prevents disk reads to get code or data. I benchmarked my system with 3dmark06, 3dmark01, FEAR and CS:S before and after setting this to 1. I either lost or stayed about the same with my 2x1GB RAM. I added another 2x512MB RAM to total 3GB and the performance was worse (I had to change from 1T to 2T to use older stuff). I cant play with these low frames...
