Another 15 minutes

Ever since I got my Asus eee PC 1000HE installed with eeebuntu linux I have had problems with very low volume on the speaker, even tho the speaker volume slider was showing max volume. I didn’t spend much time investigating why this was, just accepting it. But today I found the solution to it, and it was very easy. Just right-click the speaker icon, select preferences. A new windows pops up, if you select the “LineOut” device by clicking it, and then click the speaker icon again to adjust the volume slider you will notice it’s only at 50%. Just set this up to 100% and you will have all the volume you need.

This is a movie about a murderer who broadcasts his tortures and killing live on the Internet and the cyber crime agents who tries to catch him. The plot is perhaps not so new, the idea has been seen before in series like CSI etc. But it’s pretty good and all the tech-talk in the movie is actually correct, doesn’t happen very often. The movie is good, disturbing at some points, but it keeps you on your toes and then ends pretty quickly.

This is an agent and conspiracy movie, and as you might know I like those. It is a good movie, but I thought it was somewhat hard to see the big picture, how the plot and the persons were all connected. Overall it’s a good movie to see on a rainy weekend and pretty exciting assassination plot.

Saw Terminator Salvation today. The movie is in a way unlike the previous movies since in this movie there is no hunter robot and no protector, but rather the enemy is Skynet as a whole and a big part is played by a human that was made into a cyborg against his will, in fact he doesn’t even know about until late in the story. The movie is not the best of the Terminator movies, but it’s still pretty good. We also see an Arnold cyborg in it :).
