Big news for today is of course, Soldier Of Fortune 2 Multiplayer Test is out! Yes, right now! Bloody good it is too. :) Surprisingly, Yaleman was the only person to send the link in. Hmmm.
DeviantPC has posted an overview of the upcoming processor technology 'Silicon On Insulator' or more commonly known as SOI. Have a read..
Academics once picked AMD's processors for supercomputing because they were inexpensive and performed well. But while the chips continue to conquer more of the desktop market, their attractiveness for supercomputers may have dimmed, in favour of their counterpart, the P4. Thanks BL/\DE.
Dan from Dan's Data has posted a Techno-Tools guide, covering various hot, pointy, sharp and otherwise desirable devices which have some bearing on the tasks that PC twiddlers have to do. Mmmmm, twiddlin'. :)
Ready to blow a VALVE next week? Counterstrike 1.4 is due for release to the general public. "CS 1.4 introduces several new features to the world's most popular online action game, including new missions (de_chateau, cs_havana), further integration of Valve's spectator technology, and more. The updates also mark the introduction of Valve's anti-cheat network, hosted in partnership with Speakeasy on the ISP's National Broadband Gaming Network. Cheers Zero_g71.

3DVelocity are having a HUGE competition, with truckloads of prizes. All you have to do is answer a few questions or make up the last line in a limerick to win. No idea how us Aussies fare in the "eligibility to win a prize" stakes, but might you might like to give it a whirl anyway.
Here's another little flash "time waster" sent in by dink. It's a darts game, and my best is winning 5 games of 501 straight. :)
Yet again, there are movies screening at The Overflow at Sydney Olympic Park. Details are here in our forums. Cheers Rik.
