Quick news post tonight.
Are you sick of your Playstation2? Do you have lots of friends who are also sick of their Playstation2s? Feeling adventurous? Why not put together a Playstation2 linux cluster? Thanks Andrew.
Australia may fine e-mail spammers. I'd love to see something constructive come from this, as far as I'm concerned, spammers should be publicly flogged, or something similarly painful! Thanks Brett.
There are a few prizes up for grabs at the moment in two contests. On Voided Warranty, win a HSF or fan controller by designing a "lab rat" logo, and win a Lite-On LVD-2001 DVD Player by answering a marketing questionnaire on SLCentral. Both appear to be open to Aussies.
A timely reminder about another recently reported Windows RPC vulnerability and patch. Best to protect yourself before another blaster-style virus is unleashed. The Microsoft information bulletin is here. Thanks Dink.
Pretty cool little wireless router on WAFreeNet, a modified Wizard PC. Very nice. Thanks mpot.
Alqemist sent in news that Counterstrike 1.6 full has been released, as well as the Steam Client with Counterstrike Cache for 1.6, available on Ausgamers. People still play Counterstrike?? :)
iiNet and iHug have officially merged in a deal that will cost iinet $30.1 million dollars in cash and a further 23.7 million in iiNet shares. Thanks to Locutus.
Luke sent word that WonderLAN in SA is on the 27th September. More information on their webpage.
Hmmm, who said Adelaide was 20 years behind the rest of the country? Could have been me, but I'd have been wrong - Adelaidians now have wireless internet access throughout the CBD. "It uses transmitters on lamp posts and traffic lights throughout the city, offering a roaming service for those with home or work broadband accounts." Groovy. Thanks to disko_matt.
More on Verisign's "domain squatting" on The Register. Thanks elvis.
Finally, a reminder that international talk like a pirate day is almost upon us, so remember to raise that jolly roger and confuse all your workmates/friends tomorrow. Yarrrrrrr me hearties!!
