Hurricane Frances has torn its way through Florida, with damage even affecting the Space Shuttle program.
A couple of long-standing maths puzzles may be on the brink of being solved - which may not necessarily be a good thing. Suddenly all cryptic codes could be breakable. No internet transaction would be safe.
Tip: If someone hands you a $200 note, it's probably not real. The back of the bill features lawn signs saying things such as “We like broccoli.”
TheAge have some more info on Logitech's laser mouse, the MX1000.
Sniper spotted this TheInq story about doubling the response speed of LCD pixels.
Timbot sent in a big list of motherboard BIOS updates, while Digit-Life warn that a new BIOS is not necessarily better. I found this out back in the P3V4X days.
HardCoreWare looked at the performance effect of WinXP SP2. SP2 arrived in my Windows Update yesterday, lucky me. Going to wait a while before I install it, I think.
ABIT had a "hardware festival" recently, covered here by Hexus. They also checked out the PC speed building contest and have their wrapup thoughts on the ECTS 2004 show.
A timewaster from Fenix: This isn't really web based, and it's 200mb. But! It is really cool. It's a demo for a very innovative style of game. Think Dungeon Keeper vs Austin Powers. The gameplay rocks, the graphics are slightly cartoony. IGN have been singing its praise for quite some time. Well worth the 200mb dowload, unless you're on dial-up.
TheRake sent word of a Sydney Car/Bike Cruise coming up in early October. I remember one of the first "car cruises" I linked on the news page ended up with this happening, so take it easy, hmm? :)
