    Gaming Minimum distance from sensor bar?

    Hi everyone, When setting up/using a Wii, do you have to maintain a minimum distance from the sensor bar for the Wiimote to work? EDIT: I'm just gonna go with Selim873's answer until I can actually verify it.

    ADDING DRM to MP3/AAC files

    Okay, so this is gonna sound crazy, but I want to ADD DRM to an MP3/AAC file. I just got a new phone, and I want to use some of my MP3s/AACs as ringtones, but it won't let me do it since all my MP3s/AACs don't have DRM. The phone in question is the Samsung Linx (SGH-T369). Anyone got any advice?

    What I'll be doing over winter break

    Well, I finished all my exams and stuff today, so I'll have the next 3 weeks off from school to do whatever I want.

    Backing up PS2 games?

    Okay, so I'm selling+trading my PS2 collection in the near future, but I want to back up some of my harder to find games (Nocturne) in case I ever decide to pick up another PS2.

    So, it's coming up to exam time for me (and probably many, many others), and a major part of preparing for exams is pulling all nighters. What are some good ways to do this?

    Early morning biking = win

    Woke up at 6 this morning, went biking at 7, got back home at 8. I'm not a very athletic person, but this was pretty awesome. No two-bit thugs on the sidewalk, slowing everyone down by going 1m/h (yes, 1 meter per hour), traffic was low, and there weren't many crappy drivers. Except for one guy...
