Compressed Air Engine - Angelo Di Pietro

Posted by Himself on January 7th, 2008


So another one already. I’m just waiting for these motors to end up on Ebay so I can really start playing… C’mon already, I’ve pressed refresh like 10 times on Ebay and they’re not there yet! What’s the hold up?
I reckon Angelo Di Pietro deserves all the money that’s bound to be heading his way for this.

Compressed Air Car Goes 200km On €1.50

Posted by Himself on January 7th, 2008


This sounds waaaaay too good to be true. Expected price is as low as €3,500! I reckon it’ll end up on sale in Ireland for around €390,000 and probably in 2057… I still want one though.
Checkout the webpage at www.theaircar.com or have a quick wiki. Or better still, get really brave and convert your own V8 car into an air guzzler instead.

Improving Your Internet Browsing - Hosts File

Posted by Himself on January 1st, 2008

Use Dan Pollock’s hosts file, which is kept up to date regularly, to prevent your computer from connecting to selected
internet hosts. This is an excellent way to protect your PC from buckets of spyware, prevent a load of ad-based pop-up traps, and prevent those damn “web bugs” embedded in spam from contacting their sites for user tracking etc.
This block-list provides good protection to IE from certain web-based exploits and blocks most advertising you would otherwise be subjected to on the internet.

All you need do is copy and paste all the text on Dan’s page (except the last line which is the file’s date) into your own hosts file. Remember to do this fairly regularly. This will even bring down your bandwidth use a bit. Even add your own entries to keep your machine from accessing various sites for Parental or other reasons.

Not sure about using hosts files? It’s safe and easy, have a look at a wiki or even a quick how-to article or try these instructions if you’re unfortunate enough to run Vista.
