Warning: date(): It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'America/New_York' for 'EDT/-4.0/DST' instead in /home/tiplabs/public_html/includes/counter.php on line 58

TowerSeek a BitTorrent search engine:
If you are a BitTorrent fan then you are always on the prowl for locations
that have lots of Torrent files. BitTorrent is an alternative to
P2P networks. It is faster and typically more reliable however
not as easy to find files with. TowerSeek is a search engine just for
that. A must have:
http://www.towerseek.org
If you need to get the client or learn more about BitTorrent:

Radars, Lasers and Laser Jammers for speed freaks:
Lets face it, if you have a fast car you will want to drive fast
sometimes. Well you better stock up on the latest in speed anti-ticket prevention.
There are four things you can do to try and make it more difficult to be
tagged.
1) Radar Detectors (X, K, Ka bands, POP, etc)
2) Laser Detectors
3) Laser Jamming
4) Photo Radar Protection
Radar detectors are the standard, and while law enforcement seem to
have taken too laser due to possible cancer from radar it is still used
heavily. The best radar detector currently is the Escort Passport 8500
X50. Grab one. This unit will detect laser but keep in mind there is no
good laser detector that will work well. Here are industry reviews:
http://www.consumersearch.com/www/automotive/radar_detectors/reviews.html
Laser jamming is starting to get interesting. It seems there are some
good options out there. Currently the best out is Blinder. It sends out
a powerful jamming pulse while the returning laser is bounced. It seems
very effective. Here is the company that sells this:
http://www.blinderxtreme.com
Now you need to add laser veil, it also has shown to help greatly. This
is a coating you apply to the front of your car to make it non-reflective.
You have to re-apply this every few months so it is a bit of a hassle
(like RainX) but worth it. Use this with Blinder:
http://www.laserveil.com
Finally to keep the stop light cameras from snapping a photo of your
license plate if you run a red light or blow by the toll booth grab this
reflective coating for your license plate:

HD TV card that works with MythTV for your own PVR:

own PVR Linux box. This is the defacto standard. The pcHDTV HD-3000 card
is the card you need. Check it out here:
