This from Chris:
Hi there,
just thought that I'd let you know that sometimes it does pay to click on banners on websites. (Yours especially!) I clicked on a seek.com banner around late April (I think) did a search for jobs in Sth. Aus. etc. To get to the point I ended up getting a new job and more than doubled my salary, all as a result of bothering to click on the banner. I started the new job last week.
So thanks in a roundabout way.
Bye for now,
Chris
Cool. :)
I had a funny conversation via email over the last couple of days, bit long for the news page so I put it into a forum thread.
Another funny thread, Chainbolt showing off another new car, not quite his usual standard though.
Interesting thing on an Open Source Convention on wired.
Yet another super-fast future chip technology article, but this time they actually have a working die, thanks Monkiboy. Update: Wojtek points out it's not that exciting, apparently.
VYW have magically reappeared on their new host and have an article about a port relocator from SkyHawks. This is interesting - I have been toying with the idea of ripping out the front-port assembly from the SkyHawks case and trying to fit it into a drive bay in another case, but it seems they are selling them separately now anyway, like the much-reviewed FrontX Multimedia Ports. Anyhoo, VYW also have a 16X Plextor burner on review.
Daemon from Techwatch pointed out this funny error msg on MSI's website. It might be fixed by the time you get there..
This nice little box looks just the thing for a home gateway server.. if the sound of 62 HDD's wouldn't keep you awake, thanks Liquid Carbon.
OCAU hosted site CaseModders Australia have some new goodies up, firstly a look at Shafted Lan, some interesting cases there.. and some new Philips products.
An article about baiting hackers on TE.
FutureLooks delve into the Gaming Console world with a comparison of the 3 big future players.. GameCube vs. PS2 vs. Xbox.
Here's an article about the dreaded electromigration, thanks Sabrtooth.
Someone made the mistake of giving some Logitech controllers to Dan, who pulled them to bits, as he does.
In something that sounds like an excerpt from the Hitch-Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy (RIP Douglas Adams), British scientists have a supercomputer pondering fundamental questions about the universe.
Ahh! Ramil from OCTools pointed out that the socket mod (pics below) was first done by Joe Kelly here on ProCooling.
Reviews:
