A little while ago, the my brother’s macbook pro died a horrible death (Apple hardware tends to do that). Luckily a backup of the hard disk could be made with the mac disk utility. Well, luckily… Retrieving the data from the .dmg file seems to be more troublesome than I hoped it would be. When accessed with mac software, not all data could be retrieved (some files don’t even appear). However, after a long night of work, I got access to all the files again. How? read on…

Versus #4: Inception

Posted by Nick in Movies, Reviews on August 26th, 2010.

Nick: My expectations for this movie were pretty high. Not only because Christopher Nolan was involved, but also because his latest effort is ranked #3 on Imbd’s top 250.

After upgrading to the new Kubuntu version: Lucid Lynx, the graphics drivers on my computer stopped functioning. Any attempt to reïnstall them failed because they seemed to be already intstalled.
