The start of a new working week. Here is the news...
aXis has built himself a 2.4GHz (wifi) slotted waveguide from a piece of downpipe. For a grand total of $7-, this thing works well.
DV Hardware's first how-to guide is about cheap teflon tapes for your mousefeets. They must be starting with the easy stuff before working their way up. :)
Rage found an interesting looking case with the PSU on the bottom. Here is another view of it at the Akiba site.
If you haven't heard of The Penny Black project before, it's Microsoft's attempt at cutting the amount of spam by making the sender pay for the email they send. It has some merit and although any real implementation is still some way off, it is the kind of scheme that governments around the world are looking into to help stem the spam flood. Link supplied by leperMessiah.
A couple of pieces from nEoLIthIc. Star Wars fans are trying to get the original trilogy released on DVD. Also, some dates and details about the release of GTA Vice City for PC.
Madshrimps have finished a flashy and effective mod of a Lian-Li case. They call it Project LiquidLi.
Rodney took some photos of the Sydney Anti-War protest. They can be found here, and Michael found this picture of ATI's R350.
Viper Lair have a good read, all about the state of review sites on the net. "Basically, smaller websites, in order to gather more review samples, are often subject to manufacturer arm twisting to print up a "nice" review, mentioning (or fabricating) the strengths, and ignoring the weaknesses. Trust me, you can spot these reviews a mile away. The problem is, people are reading them, clicking on sponsor links, driving traffic up. The sponsors, as ecstatic as they could be, fire more stuff off to the tech site. Wash, rinse, repeat".
Spode recently checked out the Sun Microsystems developers conference and wants to let us all know what went on.
Johnnie5 found a useful program. Its called WebReaper. "WebReaper is web crawler or spider, which can work its way through a website, downloading pages, pictures and objects that it finds so that they can be viewed locally, without needing to be connected to the internet".
Steve sent this link in. A serious but simple security flaw in WindowsXP that allows people with physical access to the PC, to bypass the password protection.
If everyone lived a lifestyle like mine, we would need 5.1 planet Earths to live on. That's the report from a quiz that Lil found. Have a go and see how wasteful you are.
