Many visitors of my site have knowledge in certain fields that excel my knowledge or supplement it. I thought it would be nice to add this knowledge to ghacks by giving the authors an incentive to share it. I’m looking for some authors who would like to write for ghacks on a more or less regular basis and add their knowledge to the growth of the site. This authors would in return receive part of the money earned from their articles.
The Forum is online
I decided to install a forum on a temporary basis for now and decided on its fate depending on how it will develop over the course of the coming weeks. I tried to keep it as clean and fast as possible and some of you might be a bit disappointed when they compare the forum software that I have been installing with suits like phpbb or vbulletin.
Links of the Day
I’am in a rush, have to play football in about 20 minutes and want to write an article for my baby before I leave. This leaves me in a desperate situation and I thought the best way to do this would be to throw some links at you with articles or websites that I found interesting. All fresh, all from today.
A poll is a poll is a poll
Poll results for “What will you do when Windows Vista comes out” have been analyzed. 60% of all voters said they would do nothing which means they will stick to their old operating system or system. 21% will migrate to Windows Vista, 11% to a *nix system and even 8% to Mac. The big questions is of course, what does vista offer its users that XP does not offer ? Not much from what I can see. It offers some drawbacks on the other hand that I for instance am not willed to tolerate – Trusted Computing anyone ?
This weeks poll, next weeks poll
I was asking if you were interested in ghacks tshirts and might consider buying them and gave you the options of some maximum prices you would pay. Half of the voters are not interested in tshirts at all most of the other voters want them to be as cheap as possible. I’am not sure if I’am going to pursue this idea further, I guess I post some designs soon in an article and let you decide if they would make cool shirts or not.
Happy Birthday Thread

I hope that you will be as happy with my website as you are know, please promise that you will let me know if something changes that you do not like.
Who is hosting ghacks ?
I recently received some emails asking about the kind of hosting that I was using for ghacks.net and I decided that it would be a nice idea to write about it in an article. Ghacks is running on a dedicated server provided by the German company Hetzner with the following details: AMD Athlon 64 3700+ cpu, 2 GB DDR 400 Ram, 2x 160 GB SATA hard drives, unlimited traffic and Suse 10.0 as its operating system.
