Ok. First up, I am new at this, so be gentle with me. Otherwise I'll skitch Sciby onto you, and you don't want that, believe me! I'll try and get it right, I promise.
Zed sends word that Telstra have their new 2-way satellite pricing up and waiting for people to look at. Bit expensive, but.......
Darksword from Icrontic tells us they have a thread in their forums about the possible "infinite loop crash" involved with Windows XP and nVidia graphics cards. If you have had that particular drama, and would like a fix for it (and let's face it, fixes are good) then head on over to their forums and read all about it.
Ben over at ocprices.com has a competition running in which you can win lots of cool gear, including a Soyo Dragon motherboard plus Athlon XP 1600. It's a "register and post in our forums" type deal, but the prizes should surely make it worth it. Oooh, a link? Here it is... (and there goes my head start) :(
...But no matter, I get a headstart on THIS competition being run by the guys at OC-Melbourne. Feeling lucky? You could win a Dynatron DC1206BM-O625 all copper heatsink. Go on, you know you want to. :)
Ever pat your back pocket and think "I wish I had a PC in there". No? Neither have I. But if you think "pocket patting, PC looking" (try and say that 5 times) might be somewhere in your future, this might be just what you need. Thanks Murray.
Nifty (Jebus, I AM getting old) looking case over at my-rig.com. Cheers Sam.
Got stacks of DVD's that you want to back-up, so that you don't wear them out, or mistakenly leave them out of their cases and rest your beer on them? PcPowerZone have a pretty extensive guide. Head on over and check it out.
Apparently, a 1992 law allows music listeners to make some personal digital copies of their music. In return, recording companies collect royalties on the blank media used for this purpose. For every digital audio tape (DAT), blank audio CD, or minidisc sold, a few cents go to record labels. Full story here.
Once again at OC-Melbourne, is a "How To" guide to changing the MAC address of your network card. Should be easy, after reading that.
Want to win a window kit, a case light AND an window applique of your choice? Of course you do, we ALL do :)The Overclockers Cafe, is having just such a contest. And it's being drawn tomorrow! Ooops, today even!
One of our forum members, Scott Fiske, let's us know about Basilisk II. Mean anything to you? As much as I would like to keep you all in suspense, I can't, coz Agg will neuter me or something equally as nasty. :) Basilisk II is an Open Source 68k Macintosh emulator. That is, it enables you to run 68k MacOS software on your computer, even if you are using a different operating system. However, you still need a copy of MacOS and a Macintosh ROM image to use Basilisk II. There. Now you can check it out for yourself.
RobsGT4 also informs us our seti@home team, have not only hit 200 years of cpu time, they have cracked 150 000 WU's ............ Woohoo! Awesome effort Guys! :)
Wolfmoon from #overclockers IRC sends us this neat little flash animation. Maybe the rice loving members of Overclockers best not click eh? :)
Chris and a couple of others (I know, I know ... I accidentally junked a couple of e-mails) sent in word that the whole "Bill Gates is dead" thingy, is actually an upcoming movie. The original site is here. This latest info mentions the "movie" is possibly about about some african american guys getting blamed for the murder and shot by the police. It then turns out that it might not've been those guys, but in fact the police who where behind it. Or something like that. If it does turn out to become a movie, and Bill Gates is assassinated from a grassy knoll, I am gonna vomit. :)
Our very own Bravo, has an active thread in the forums, about a RIO200 - 800 series mod. All you extreme cooling guys should probably check it out.
Okay. Thats about it for this news post. I think I did rather well, first timer and all :)
