This is an extremely cool utility – a must have for all DELL notebook owners. When I say “cool” here, it means really good. I have been using I8kfanGUI Fan Control Utility on my Dell notebook for quite some time, and I find it to be an excellent too to keep your processor temperature low. It is useful, especially if you own a high-end processor laptop like mine – Mobile Intel Pentium IV 3.06GHz with Hyper-Threading.

Being able to control the fan of your processor is a very good thing, provided you know what you’re doing. Sometimes the XP kernel or the BIOS may not be good enough to adjust fan speed when the notebook starts to get too hot. In such situation, it may end up “frying” the processor, which is just not worth it. I8kfanGUI allows users to take direct control of the fan and configure the setting as required by the user. It also allows users to monitor the temperature, fan speed as well as CPU load when necessary.

Keeping the fan turned on maximum all the time may be a good idea, since it keeps the processor cool, thus increasing the lifespan of the processor. However, do note that, dust tends to be trapped under the heat sink and that is usually the cause of high temperature – when heat does not get dissipated quickly enough. When that happens, perhaps it is time to get someone who knows a bit of technical stuff with the laptop and open the casing to clean out those nasty dust creating a layer on the heat sink. After that, you’ll see a sudden drop in temperature, as though the laptop is running like a new one.

Feeling bored? Try out this multi-player 2D client/server space game – XPilot. This game have features that resemble that of Atari coin-ups Asteriods and Gravitar, Trust and Gravity Force. However, XPilot has several other new aspects that does not exists in those games.

Features

• * True client/server based game; optimal speed for every player.
• * Meta server with up to date information about servers hosting games around the world.
• * A web of world-wide rating servers; compare your skills with pilots from all around the world, and climb the ladder of the world-wide rating list.
• * ‘Real physics’; particles of explosions and sparks from your engines all affect you if you’re hit by them. This makes it possible to kill someone by blowing them into a wall with engine thrust or shock waves from explosions.
• * Specialized editors for editing ship-shapes and maps.
• * Game objective and gameplay adjustable through a number of options, specified on the commandline, in special option files, or in the map files. Examples of modes of the game:
1. o classical dogfight; equipped with only your gun, you have to rely on your maneuvering and tactical skills
2. o team; fight together, steal other teams’s treasures (involves flying around with a ball in a string, much like in Thrust) and blow up their targets (which are, no doubt, heavily guarded)
3. o all out nuclear war; chose carefully between more than twenty weapon and defense systems to stay alive and annihilate your enemies
4. o race; make it through the deadly course before your opponents
• * Adjustable gravity; adjustable by putting special attractors or deflectors in the world, or by adjusting the global gravity in various ways.
• * Cannons and personalized and vengeful robot fighters give you a hard time.
• * Watch your energy, and remember to ‘dock’ with a fuel station to refuel before it’s too late.
• * Defend your home base, or terrorize and steal someone else’s.
• * Equip your ship with the 15+ defense and weapon systems: afterburners, cloaking devices, sensors, transporters, extra cannons, mines and bombs, rockets (smarts, torpedos and nuclear), ECM, laser, extra tanks, autopilot etc.
