So what are the uglier cars around? Off my head, I can think of two. Savvy and the kenari.

Savvy - looks like an outdated design.
Kenary - too boxy and squarish topped up with truly fugly headlights.

Anyone know how this buffer overflow will allow that to happen? How does the hacker exploit the buffer overflow?

Engine mounting

zombie — Thu, 28 Dec 2006 01:00:43 +0800

Replacing engine mounting seems to be one of the ways to solve engine vibration problem.

But what does the mounting do? Why does the mounting need to be replaced? Why not just tighten the nuts to prevent the mounting from vibrating so much?

Hope some sifu can shed some light on this subject. Thx.

Yet another HDD crash

zombie — Mon, 18 Dec 2006 02:46:04 +0800

My maxtor 40 GB DiamondMax Plus 8 just died on me. Without any warning or sign, I turned on the pc and the BIOS only says "No bootable device found".

The symptoms:

1) Bios is able to detect hdd.
2) Once the Bios detects it, the hdd red LED remains lighted up and the system becomes very slow or system hangs.
3) HDD is not detected when connected as master on second IDE on a good pc.

Can someone tell me if this is a HDD hardware or software failure?

Thanks.
