  1. Don't forget to install peerguard. I doubt you'd get busted for downloading anime, especially if its jap dub/english sub... But just in case.

    Also, there is a good chance that your college will block the port used by bittorrent. So if you get an error when trying to use a torrent, and you've tried several others that do the same, that is probably why. Err, that is if you don't have to pay for it. If you pay for the internet they might have a lot less restrictions/no restrictions.


  2. I just had to reformat my hard-drive because I have so much anime stored on my tiny and over worked CPU.

    /me is confused

    Amount of stored data doesn't mean it clogs your cpu. Most likely you had a ton of themes, for mouse and windows, and the spyware that generally accompanies them. Or maybe just too many running applications like music players, etc.

    Anyway, I used to be a huge anime fan, but have settled into other areas. I have a large collection of anime wallpaper, and have burned several VCDs of images and soundtracks. I've never been anyone to really get any clothes or hats, etc, on anime.

    As far as manga goes, I don't have any. I read some online in pdfs, but other than that ditto.

    Before my laptop's harddrive died, I had quite a bit of torrented anime, english subbed jap dubbed.


  3. I like alot of the magnatune bands.. pain factor/skitzo/utopia banished, but never buy their albums. Well, I bought a few so I still fit into their goal of 1:40 buys:downloads ratio I guess.

    Off Topic:

    Open source music rules, I can download all I want without breaking any laws. Now if they could just find a way to get better recording equipment..


  4. What OS? WinXP I'm assuming?

    Go to Start>All Programs>Accesories>Entertainment>Sound Recorder

    Now, plug in the mic and start talking, and click record. After a few seconds click stop, and then play. Do you hear yourself?

    If not, double click the volume icon on the taskbar, and make sure the panel that comes up is in advanced mode. There should be a control that says like 'Microphone' and 'Line in'. Drag both of those up, and make sure that they're not muted.


  5. About the speakers echoing; most speakers (including the one that is is your computer, which beeps when you make an error in dos) can be used in reverse as a microphone. I'm assuming you're on windows?

    Right Click on the microphone icopn in the taskbar by the clock, and select 'audio volume' controls, or something like that. Check the mute button under microphone, and 'line in' as well. Does it still echo?


  6. Keep all lights off when on the computer, except may be one LED light (white light, $20 at thinkgeek) and dim your compuer screen like 30%.

    When not on the computer, shut it down along with any external harddrives, cable/dsl modems, ect.
