Want to be an OCAU newsmonkey? Drop me a note if you're keen to get your name up in lights.
Consider yourself a PHP hero? Got some spare time? The PCDB is sick and needs.. well, probably parts of it completely rewritten, or at least another set of eyes looking at the code. More info in this thread.
Apparently mobile phones are evil again, or maybe they're not, or something, according to that article. Maybe we should all be using tooth phones instead.
TheReg have 10 ways to kill your laptop.. and an older article with 102 ways to kill your PC. Gives you something to do on the weekend, anyway. :)
TheInq have word of RAMBUS getting the book thrown at them for their silliness with patents and JEDEC etc.
Tech-Dreams reviewed the CPU Radiator Zen cooler.. oh dear, I can almost hear the screams from here. Upon placing this HSF on my Athlon xp1800+, I apparently wasn’t careful enough and I crushed the core of my processor (always a downer). Never fear, I have my trusty old Athlon 700MHz lying in my box o’ computer stuff. .. Then I moved on to put the Zen onto it and I heard a faint grinding noise. Our own similarly disastrous experience here.
Fairly addictive Pearl Harbour game from nutty.
Sabz0r spotted this old computers site.. including some silly stuff.
From Darkmok: This site has some neato videos all about Cray's SV2 supercomputer.. very interesting, if you can understand the geekspeek.. What you're seeing here, is what will be on your desktop CPU in 5-10 years time. About the 10 minute mark, it has some neato footage of the cooling system on the CPU they use.. A vapour spray directly onto the CPU. About the 14 minute mark, there's an *ultimate* case.. Taller than a man, and shiny red!
TweakersAsylum updated their DetonatorXP Performance Database.. see which versions are best.
Linchpin notes you can chat with an agent called Cybelle on that site.. kinda Eliza-ish, if that kind of thing entertains you. Site looks interesting, too.
EliteHW have a guide to Linux in a virtual PC.. experiment without having to wipe your PC.
Not enough links for you? Maybe the HWFAQ's 2000 or so will keep you busy.
