How can I become anonymous online?

Buy accounts with a prepaid credit card, use Tor, what else do I need to do? Do anonymous proxy services work, or do I have to spoof a mac address too?

I just reinstalled windows xp just to find out i have less space

My laptop has a 60gig hardrive (52 in ntfs terms). So I decided to reinstall XP, thus deleting everything because my laptop’s performance was shitty at best. I was getting highly variable fps on old games.
So anyways, everything went fine, but now I just realized my computer has 36 gigs of free space. Where did [...]

Does anyone actually LIKE Windows Vista?

I can’t see any positives.. I recently (yesterday) got a new laptop from HP. Its a beast compared to my old computer, yet I really don’t feel like I’ve made an improvement in performance.
My old computer had Windows XP and Ubuntu Fiesty installed
2.8 Ghz Pentium 4

Asus G50 vs Sager NP8660 notebooks

I’m leaning towards the Sager. Better card (9800M GT vs 9700M GT), better looks (elegant Sager vs. boy-racer Asus), DDR3 memory……..but spec’d out the way I want it, it’s $2300.

My limit’s $2500 and hopefully I’ll have my current laptop sold (someone’s interested — $800) so that should [...]
