The sadist West game against Chinese Olympics

I think enough is enough. When China was given the honor to organize the Olympic games of this year, the International Olympic Committee of course already knew that

- China and Tibet have bad relationships
- Some Chinese metropolis like Beijing are highly polluted
- Tibetans and Dalai Lama would have used this opportunity to show the world how China behaves with them

Everything I read about the upcoming Olympic Games is nowadays only about Tibet or pollution. This hypocrite behavior starts to be shameless.

Almost every land on this planet now feels democratic and ecologic when compared to China. How many Western factories migrated to China to pollute China and to enslave workers? Were Olympic Games forbidden in Berlin, Moscow or Atlanta?

Windows XP on SDHC flash card on eeePC: piece of cake!

The cake is big, by the way It took me 24 hours to install, setup and update XP. To install XP on a flash card (I used a SD 8G) you’ll loose your 4GB partition with Xandros (installed on the internal SSD). Use Acronis or any image maker to backup everything, if you want. An external USB CD drive and a 1GB USB stick are necessary.

1) To install XP I followed this protocol ( look for method 1):

I had to pay for WinHEX original version (not so much, indeed). Paypal made it quick and easy. Everything worked perfectly.

2) XP installation CD doesn’t have the right drivers for most of the eeePC hardware. Remember to run the CD given to you with the eeePC to install at least the Ethernet drivers.

3) Problems arrived when I had to install Windows XP upgrades on the flash card of eeePC. I followed what was written here:

… but anyway the full upgrade took more or less 24 hours BE patient! During the upgrade XP is quite crappy: it freezes often, but at least it never crashed.

Now everything works PERFECT! And by the way, WinUAE is a far better Amiga emulator in comparison to any Linux UAE.

4) To finish, I reinstalled Xandros on the SDD. Now i can enjoy both the fast boot of Xandros or the more friendly environment of XP just choosing which drive to boot.

eeePC 4G – 2GB Corsair RAM – SDHC 8GB – 800×600 – Xandros / XP : it sounds and it works simply GREAT! Click on this post picture to zoom into the screen.

5) I strongly suggest you to backup the flash partition with something like Drive XML. You don’t want to repeat everything again..do you ?
