Rage reminded me of something from OCAU's past. Forum-goer Czechmate left our ranks a few years ago to join the French Foreign Legion. He has a website here detailing some of his experiences and information about the FFL. Be warned, if you dig deep enough there are some wartime pictures that might be disturbing. Frankly I can't imagine embarking on a lifestyle change that dramatic, so I have a lot of respect for someone who has seen it through.
Back to our more regular news, I noticed a new Free Games page in the Wiki, with lots of timewasters listed. You may also want to check out the Freeware List in our General Software forum.
Bryn sent word of this article on Anandtech, comparing Intel's upcoming Yonah dual-core CPU at 2GHz, with an A64 X2 3800+, also at 2GHz.
Tech Report have a system guide posted, while A1-Electronics offer a LCD buyer's guide.
Futurelooks meanwhile suggest thoughtful gifts for a PC gamer, and TechSpot have a holiday gift guide. I think I'm going to boycott Xmas this year. :)
Lillia spotted this underwater iPod.. just the thing for singing in the shower.
From Kasi: I noticed some people on SilentPCReview who are interested in extremely quiet computers now use notebook drives in their desktop computers, so perhaps a few people may be interested in this roundup on StorageReview.
TrustedReviews meanwhile have a mid-range graphics card roundup, with the ATI X800 GTO against the nVidia GeForce 6800GS.
PenStarSys ponder the rising cost of high-end graphics cards.
ArsTechnica reviewed the Xbox 360, while Ambush notes: The Free60 project aims to port open source operating systems to the XBox 360. Let the hacking begin.
