I seemed to have gotten off on a tangent of "Useful" hacks recently, which goes against the name of this here blog. So, in the spirit of "Stupid" hacks, I present Stupid Hack #2!From ‹‹ Stµpid Hax ››You may recognize the 2-outlet box from my "Fonera Automated Reset Technology" post I made previously. Since I am no longer using internet from Comcast, I am not plagued with modem freezes anymore (

Here I have an older Logitech G5 gaming mouse that was in need of some help. The middle click button on the PCB was worn out, so it liked to randomly middle click all the time. While I had it apart replacing the button, I realized how much space was actually inside (since I don't use the weight cartridge at all) and thought it would be awesome to shove a small USB hub inside, with ports

Recently, our Comcast internet service has been less than ideal. Some strange interference on the cable line is causing our modem to freak out every so often. After talking to countless technicians and service reps and going through 2 or 3 modems trying to determine the problem, I decided to take matters into my own hands.The main problem was that the modem would freeze after this mysterious

Two years ago I first created my Mountain Dew Christmas tree, consisting of around 200 Mountain Dew cans, construction flags, a 7ft piece of PVC pipe, and a Christmas Tree stand.

To get an idea of the kinds of "Stupid Hax" we are talking about, I'll start you out with this one.A friend of mine wanted to know what would happen if you ran a RAM tester, such as MemTest86+, in a virtual machine.
