The Online Tech Tips site offers up a great tip for anyone reinstalling XP off something other than their original CD—such as a slipstreamed and automated installation—or lacking a net connection to run the activation.

Monkey Taunts Tigers (2)
onMonkey News! While these tiger cubs may grow up to be the scourge of the jungle, one cheeky gibbon let's them know that he rules the block for now. It's amazing behavior. The monkey seems to be teasing the tigers just for fun. Swooping down and rapping the big cats on the coconut before swinging back into his tree and laughing. Little stinker. The best part is when the gibbon gooses one of tigers' arse. ...Shared by Daniel (2) Kris (27)

The wild card was designed to encourage developing countries without expensive training facilities to get more involved in Olympic sports. "The Eel" learned to swim eight months prior to the Olympics. He was 22-years-old. He learned and sort-of-practiced in a hotel pool. One of only ...

Get Free Airport Wi-Fi with a Simple URL Hack [Wi-Fi] (210)

I found that I could easily visit sites like slashdot, Google, or even this weblog, when adding a ?.jpg at the end of the url. The next logical step was to automate that. I downloaded Greasemonkey and wrote a 4 line script that would add ?.jpg to every link in a document.
