For all you case modders out there, GameHard has a guide to painting the blades of your case fans, a method they reckon is the easier way.. as apposed to the harder way, which I've not heard of :)
YYK points out that Microsoft has announced retirement dates for it's superseded operating system lines.. Support for Win2K ends early 2004, with NT4 and Win98 being axed mid 2003.
ViaHardware has posted an updated version of the PCI Latency Patch that can fix problems you're having with audio on your VIA-chipset based board. I'm pretty sure it's just an easier-to-apply version of the WCPSET fix you can use to make Aureal-based cards work properly under Win2K. If you're having audio problems you might want to check it out..
Wokket points out that a LiteStep Themeing Standard has been developed, which will (with time) reduce the problems in changing your LiteStep theme down to simple PEBKAC errors.. which can only be a good thing for the popular alternative shell.
MrE points out this ITNews article which talks about the X-Box being a target for virus coders.. and I can see a good gibson-ish point made in that article.. with the always-on nature of the X-Box and it's Broadband capabilities, a well-written piece of replicating code could create a nice DoS-host base with a few infected X-Boxes.
Tech-Report has posted an interview with nVidia's chief scientist, Dr David Kirk.. it's a fairly interesting read and they cover a few hot topics like the DX8.1 pixel shaders.
Finally, Kaliban points out this alternative folding@home stats page, created especially for the Number One OCAU team. Most of us already use the StatsMan page, but it is always good to have alternatives.
