I'm still getting lots of the "love.scr" virus in my inbox. I hope everyone has updated their virus scanners. If not, do it now. Or at least be kind enough to remove me from your contacts list:). Now that new years is out of the way, we can all get back to real life again. On with the news...
There is a LAN happening shortly, Andrew has all the details. "For anyone who lives out in western NSW, there is a LAN on the 18th and 19th of January called Narcoleps-E. The same people are also holding one in Newcastle during February called Insomnia". Full details can be found here. Another one called NoManZLan is on the 4th of January for the Victorian lanners. Thanks Josh.
Planetmodz have a great review up for you. Its full of detail and covers just about everything you might ever want to know about .... Blue Anodized Thumbscrews.
Microsoft recently released their latest version of Direct X, DirectX 9. Over at Viper Lair, they take a look at its performance with both a DX8 and DX9 video card.
Also on the Microsoft topic. A lot of schools in Norway had threatened to boycott Microsoft products unless a version was released in some obscure Scandinavian language. It worked. Thanks eUGENE.
Dan has another bunch of letters for you. This time, things such as confusing RAM acronyms, confusing disk space multiplier prefixes, where to get a really cool R/C car, how to wire up LEDs and how touch lamps work.
CNN have a round-up called 2002: The year's dubious achievements. Humorous!
Since the use of unmanned flying drones has been a hit (sorry) in the middle east, American airspace regulators are considering the use of pilot-less planes for commercial use. I don't think I'll be rushing out to buy a ticket on that flight just yet.
From The Inquirer. "IBM waves goodbye to Winchester hard files". IBM are now out of the hard drive business. It might be a good thing too!
