Poll: nVidia XFX 7900GT Extreme Edition for $370 – Forums (malliemcg)
This is perhaps the cheapest price I have seen for 7900GT EE cards. It is a group buy and will go ahead if enough people are willing to commit to it, have a think and see if you really want that SLI rig, go on you know you do!

Wired News: – France’s Decision to Force companies to interoperate
Finally someone who gets it. This is about the future and the French parliment are looking after the people. It should not matter where or from what company I purchase some content, I should be able to play it on any device I own, both now and in the future. This is not condoning piracy or any such nonsense, merely providing a mechanism to force companies to play nicely together for the benefit of the consumer!

Banned from WoW for using a programmable keyboard
Banned from WoW for using a programmable keyboard
This is perhaps the most negative aspect of Blizzard’s WoW. They can’t control the botters, gold farmers and end up going for the ordinary layman who has no recourse. WTG – Things like this make me not wish to renew my subscription, in fact I might not.

Greenhouse theory smashed by biggest stone
Greenhouse theory smashed by biggest stone
Rather interesting in light of the doom and gloom the bloody hippies are ranting and raving about. While I do not think we should just run about burning all the fossil fuels and destroying rain forests and habitats I don’t think we should blame all ills and climate changes on it. We live on a very complicated and resiliant planet here people.

Hatchback hate: Lamborghini chased – National – smh.com.au
Hatchback hate: Lamborghini chased – National – smh.com.au
Silly little swift. Kinda feel sorry for the poor bugga in the Lamborghini though, I certainly understand his agitation at these little gits in their tarted up runabouts with big nasty stereo’s. It must not be a nice feeling to have someone want to ram you. (An accident/ramming even Suziki vs Lambo is not something you want to be involved with).
