OCAU News
Late Tuesday evening (0 Comments) (link)
 Wednesday, 29-August-2001  02:20:28 (GMT +10) - by Manaz

Welcome to the OCAU news, late edition. Please take a seat, ensure that you're comfortable, and hang on tight. Yep, it's late. Too late. Never mind, on with the news.

Firstly, *LOTS* of people (too many to list individually) wrote in to let us know that Internet Explorer v6 has been officially released.

JimX, one of our forum and IRC regulars, as well as occasional article writer for OCAU, has come up with an interesting idea - the Overclockers Motorcycle Club. I've seen quite a few threads in the forums from readers who ride motorcycles of various descriptions, I know a few of our #Overclockers IRC regulars also ride, and even Agg's been known to get about on just two wheels occasionally, so it sounds to me like the idea might have some merit. If you're interested, why not go have a look!

Alchemy (who is also an IRC regular) posted this link in IRC today - it's a rather humorous take on the whole Digital Millenium Copyright Act, and ways to get around it, in the US.

Herbo wrote in to let us know that there's an updated version of the fan LED mod been posted - looks nice and clean to me, though I'd be careufl using it on a fan that's critical to your system's cooling. It does look rather cool when it's going though. :)

Edwardnott wrote in to say that he's spotted 1GHz Duron processors on the price lists of at least one Australian computer hardware dealer. Considering that the 1GHz Duron was only recently released worldwide, it seems that Australia may be catching up on computer hardware releases compared to the rest of the world - and not before time!

sabretooth found this rather interesting article, about an open-air hacking festival being held in Europe. Lots of people sitting in a field basically, with wireless links to a broadband Internet connection. And they say technology and the wilderness don't mix...

If you know why you should win a Power Cooler PCH 137 heatsink, why not tell the guys at M:6 and actually win one!
