Andypoo reminded me that Australia's anti-spam legislation came into effect on the 10th of this month. There didn't seem to be much news coverage of it? Anyway, more info here.

From the PCDB: Alonso_Bistro has a cool metallic-mesh effect, while x3r0 remodelled the front, added a flamey window and powdercoated his. PilouX's unusual tower turned out very nicely and reminds me of the old Metropolis film.

Redback noticed that Telstra have raised the acceptable signal loss for ADSL, which means it'll be available to more people. The new acceptable signal loss limit has increased from 49dB to 56dB. This effectively extends a customer's allowed length from a telephone exchange from 3.5km to 4km. Telstra are also trialling Fibre To The Home technology, thanks Sniper.

AusGamers have the V8 Supercars 2 Demo available for download. Koopz noticed this Stalker rolling demo on FilePlanet.

Amfibius is organising a meet in Perth for OCAU photographers, this coming Thursday.

Metku took a Shuttle and made it shiny.

KP says there's a winamp security alert for all versions.

ARP have a guide to BIOS flashing your video card, while IANAG want to show you how to make network cables.

Hypothermia are giving away another Killer Gaming Rig.

Antec may enforce their patent on LED fans, if this letter is anything to go by. More info on Bit-Tech. I thought this was an April Fool at first, but seems it isn't.

Tech-Report looked at NVIDIA's nForce 250Gb A64 chipset.

ExplosiveLabs have a Q&A with Diamond Multimedia, while LegitReviews interviewed an ATI software design manager.

Today's taste of the bizarre is Subservient Chicken from Chaker.
