Whale Sharks are now protected to some extent. This has nothing to do with OCAU apart from my spending some time diving with the whale sharks at Exmouth, Western Australia a couple of years ago. There's some Whale Shark pictures taken by some friends and me here and here. The whale shark can reach a length of 60 feet (18 meters), about the size of an 18-wheeler truck. Good to see these gentle giants getting a fair go at last.
A huge identity theft and credit-card fraud ring has been busted in the USA. We know of approximately 30,000 victims -- and the numbers are growing every day -- and of losses that are in the millions and growing every day.
From Bravo: Just here to report this thread on our forums. Thanks to MEX for bringing it to my attention, and to the original nForce thread here. With the use of conductive ink across jumper pins 2-3, and using the latest 1005 Beta BIOS, makes the A7N266-VM fully configurable for Multiplier and FSB overclocking. The A7N266-VM features a PCI/AGP lock up to 181mhz, CPU:RAM Divider (3:4), but the lack of voltage adjustment can be overlooked because of the price, at only 120 AUD :D

NVIDIA have unveiled their single-chip solution motherboard chipset for AMD's Hammer CPU's. With AMD incorporating the formerly north bridge-based memory controller into its upcoming K8 processors, the role of the north bridge chip will become rather limited, Drew Henry, Nvidia’s senior director of platform product management said. As a result, Nvidia decided to include the AGP controller interface in the south bridge to shorten motherboard makers’ design time, he added.
Boky sent in these P76 awards for dumb things done in the Australian car market this year.
