Jadlak informs us that Wine Ver.2 is out. In case you don't know, wine allows you to play Windows games under Linux.

There is a new program compatability update for WinXP - it seems to fix a lot of problems with games and file sharing utilities - including kazaa, a lot of sim games (sim park / simtunes etc) counterstrike, midtown madness and a lot of EA games (most of their new games are listed.) *humps Yaleman* ... OOOPS! I meant THANKS Yaleman :)

A Japanese supercomputer has recorded the fastest "floating point" calculation speed of any computer on the planet. The feat is reported in the latest edition of the Linpack report, a ranking of supercomputer performance. The Earth Simulator at the Marine Science and Technology Center in Kanagawa, notched up 35.61 teraflops - that is over 35 trillion "floating point" calculations per second! Taa Grant. (Unless 924N7 is actually your nick)

MARIJUANA enthusiasts are threatening to smoke a 90cm joint as part of protest action in a central Darwin park tomorrow. Ummmm, o...k, I plan to stay in bed all day with the curtains drawn and protest sunlight. :) Cheers AzonIc.

Looks like the days of the Duron are numbered. AMD’s Chairman W. Jerry Sanders late Wednesday made a sensational announcement that AMD would start phasing out the Duron processor family by the end of the year. Thanks to Waratt.

For all the people who dabble or specialise in making maps for HL/CS, Valve has updated its worldcraft program to a new version called the "Valve Hammer Editor." Taa XG8.
