If I get another spam email about HGH I may start killing indiscriminately. Does anyone actually buy/use that stuff?!
dljunior says OCAU got a mention on Page 56 of the Oct 2002 issue of PC World. Not sure what kind of mention, but hello to anyone who's come here because of that. :)
Xbit checked out if the stories of problems raiding Barracuda IV HDD's are true.
Sabretooth sent word that an Australian spam fighter may face trial.
Sciby now has a famous jar of Vegemite! Funny article about some Americans trying their first taste of Vegemite. I regained consciousness and lay huddled in a corner until Mike came over and pulled the bread out of my hand. We didn't want to waste the bread, so Jane came up with a plan to dilute the Vegemite with another Kraft product, Pimento spread. The pimento spread diluted the taste of the Vegemite with its own terrible taste. This was like trying to extinguish a burning pile of hair with patchouli oil.
Now you can fake that muscle-car sound in your buzzbox .. and only you can hear it.
A few things from eDust: RAM prices are likely to go up becauase Hynix is in financial trouble. The Australian Consumer's Association has decided that computers are not as reliable as white goods, with 25% needing servicing in a 12 month period. A new type of lithium battery called lithium phospho-olivine will be smaller, lighter, and more powerful. Good for mobile phones, notebooks, etc. This lithium based crystal (lithium niobate) can echo sounds. Freaky. A Linux cluster will be used to simulate nuclear weapons. 1024 machines, dual 2.4GHz Xeons, doing 10 trillion calculations per second.
To fill demand for KT333 product, VIA are apparently going to remark KT400 chips. That sounds at first like a good thing, but it seems the vendors think it's bad.. thanks Sin22.
