So do you have a sex offender in your Neighborhood?

Posted on February 24th, 2006 in by ChrisLim

The National Sex Offender Registry maps your address of all the registered offenders in the US.

This is a little freaky. The problem is that Its not too accurate as I know of a neighbor that was listed but he moved a while back and the house is still listed in the db.

How I fixed my STOP 0×000000ED UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT _VOLUME.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention how I fixed my HD corruption due to the Dell tech support fiasco. Travis’ blog just reminded me. You’ll need Knoppix 4.0.2, another computer Win2K or XP and

  1. Go get Knoppix 4.0.2 (& burn it onto a CD)
  2. Boot Knoppix on the laptop (or desktop)
  3. Connect both of the computer to the network.
  4. Click on the Browse Samba Network
  5. Map to a share on the other computer
  6. Copy file across network. Voila!
  7. Reimage computer (Ctrl-F11 is the function key to start the Rebuild partition for my Dell)
  8. Copy files back.

If this doesn’t work for you, then Google the error some more.

If this works for you then leave a comment!

Called Dell at 5pm today got in pretty quick. Sam says “you’re screwed” send us the laptop you probably have an overheating issue. Its a Dell Inspiron 5160 that runs at 3.2GHz! I’m sure its supposed to run hot…

Tried Travis’ power adapter and it didn’t work either

call time 21 minutes.

But oh well.. tomorrow DHL will pick up my laptop.
