I've been busy the past couple of days car hunting.. Went for a trip north of Brisbane today to look at a '91 N14 Pulsar Q with a SR20DE (2L 16V SSS donk) lurking under the bonnet.. And I hope the mechanic gives it the all clear, it was pretty quick :) To anyone buying a car I strongly recommend getting a pre-purchase inspection done by a reputable specialist of your cars make, it can really be the best ~$100 you spend.
YYK points out this Wired article about battling online games addiction, most notably EverSmack. It seems DAoC is going to be the "next" EverSmack, at least it has all the makings for it.. Incidentally, Wokket points out this EQ bug that is leading to naked players.. heh.
A reader over on VR-Zone has pushed the FSB on his EPoX 8KHA+ VIA KT266A board all the way up to 221MHz FSB!, and no, that is not just DDR 110.5 - in DDR marketing numbers that is 442MHz! Pretty darn extreme overclock, go and check it out!
Leon points out news that news that Mars was once covered in water.. lots of water, in fact, more water than now covers Earth. As most of us know, water and air are the two building blocks for life.. leading scientists to suggest that life may of once existed on the red planet.
Zed has found this computer-in-a-keyboard ala C64 style.. looks innovative, although I highly doubt it will catch on.
SLCentral has taken a rather interesting look into the History of case modding.. where it has come from, and where they (and others) think it's going. Most interesting are the interviews with "old-school" case modders, who are of the opinion that case modding is about being different.. which increasingly gets harder with more people doing it.
Finally, VyW has taken a look at a neat bit of gear.. a clip-on voltage mod for most socket-a motherboards. Instead of soldering SMD components you (obviously) just clip it onto the board, twist the potentiometer and up goes your voltage! Cool..
