Don't know what are Phoenix Worms? Check the info below

The Phoenix Worm is the larvae of the Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens).

They are currently the best staple feeder for your reptiles available. Phoenix Worms are the only calcium-rich feeder that has naturally balanced calcium and phosphorus and can be safely fed as a staple, without dusting of calcium powder or even gut loading!

They also naturally contain high levels of lauric acid, which is known to kill viruses, protozoa, and coccidia.

Nutritional comparison with other feeders

Phoenix worms can be fed to animals like fishes, inverts, amphibians, geckos, small mammals or any other insectivorous animals in general.

These high in protein but low fat worms are great for juvenile pets that need the protein and calcium for healthy and optimal growth.

Phoenix Worms need NO feeding and keep for a month or more, or longer (refrigerated at 50-55 degrees F).

Desktop not showing up

Th3D4rk — Sat, 19 Jun 2010 02:41:33 +0800

Ok this is because of a very silly mistake I made
I wanted to split at 400mb file into 2 200mb archives, but during keying in the numbers I missed a few digits, and my desktop now has around 10k+ 20kb archives.

So my explorer crashed, I used command prompt to delete all the files and emptied the recycle bin.

Now my desktop still wont show up, and the explorer.exe is stuck at 50% all the way.

Using start menu to open up My Computer results in a crash and I have to restart the explorer.exe process with task manager

Basically everything is running fine except for the desktop and the explorer.exe

Running on Vista Ultimate Edition 32-bit

edit: For some reason, whenever I double click on the empty desktop, my start menu pops up

edit2: temporary solution i found was to create a new admin account, explorer working again, but all my settings gone

Sound Problem

Th3D4rk — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 12:06:29 +0800

Recently this error keeps popping up

Whenever that happens, my computer can't detect my sound card anymore, when I go to to Audio Devices in the control panel, it will list there as No Audio Device, so I tried restarting, and every time I restarted my computer, the error will usually happen in the first half an hour. What's wrong?

Router, Modem or Streamyx?

Th3D4rk — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 16:04:11 +0800

Broadband provider
ISP/package: Streamyx 1MB
Location: Setapak
Have you called your ISP's helpline?: No

Personal equipment
Modem: Huawei SmartAX MT800
Router: D-Link DI-524
Firewall used: N/A

Problem details
First occurence of problem: 2 weeks ago
Problem frequency: Around half an hour
Problem description: Every half an hour or so, my internet connection will slow down to a crawl and sometimes even stop working, but modem and router lights are still blinking. I found out that after I restarted the router, then my internet connection will be back to normal. Even so, this problem comes up every half an hour or so, so just to get online I have to restart the router mulitple times per day. I was wondering whether its my router's , modem's or streamyx's problem?

Ext HD problem

Th3D4rk — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 20:06:10 +0800

I've accidentally dropped my ext HD, and now it doesn't seem to work anymore. when it starts up, clicking noises can be heard but only for awhile then it continues to spin normally. If i plug it into a mac it will say the HD is not recognizable, if i plug it into a PC it can detect the USB device but cannot detecct the HD.

How serious is the problem? And how high the chance of repairing the HD and/or recovering the data inside?

HD brand is Western Digital btw 250GB

edit:i've tried to use the HD as my slave on my comp, but before it could even go into windows, blue screen shows up and the comp auto restarts

CPU fan and CPU usage

Th3D4rk — Tue, 19 Sep 2006 21:22:27 +0800

This problem started just yesterday, the last few weeks my computer was perfectly fine until yesterday i woke up and my comp started lagging, then i used FreeRamXP to check my cpu usage and it turned out to be 100%. I have already defragged and scanned my comp for spyware/adware/viruses using AVG and SpyBot Search & Destroy but cannot find anything. Then i restarted my comp, when i turn on that time at the bios part come out an error message which told me my CPU chip fan was either too slow or has failed. But when i open my casing and check the fan it was working fine, so whats my comp's prob? Does the fan thingie has something to do with the 100% CPU usage thing too? Btw my comp is turned on 24/7
