Kung Fu stick men For anyone who feels that violence is getting that bit too gratuitous, maybe you would appreciate it better if it was stick men that were doing the fighting... Jackie Chan style Stick Man Stick Men Matrix Be warned they may take up to 5 minutes to load, but hopefully you'll find it worth the wait...

Blimey - what next ? 'THE KIDS are going to love this. You walk up to the teacher's desk with a little practical joke in mind. Your mobile phone suddenly bleeps, and you hear a soft whisper in your ear: "MAJOR bad mood today-don't try anything." You think better of the prank and decide to avoid certain detention. All thanks to an invisible message placed in the air above the teacher's desk.'

Dammit! I succumed to the lure of the Darkside... I upgraded my Home PC's Motherboard and CPU at the weekend. So now I have an Athlon XP 1600+ (1.4GHz) and a 266Mhz FSB mobo. The system is still a little hobbled using the 133Mhz SDRAM, and I managed to kill one of the chips I think. Back down to 512Mb till I can replace it

. The new setup runs at about 175% of the original, which is about right, and the CPU Heatsink + Fan is so big it made me feel woozy. No more upgrades for at least 8 months - I promise!

Yahoo reports that the UK Government scoops up a raft of nominations for the Internet Villain award at this year's ISP Awards.

The Home Office, Oftel and the RadioCommunications Agency have all been nominated for the award, which will be presented at the ISP World show at Olympia Exhibition Centre in February.

Couldn't have happened to a more deserving lot...

Philips, the company that introduced the world to the delights of CD is reported to be unhappy with the latest round of copy protection measures. The Register has the story.

"...should in Philips' view clearly inform users that they are copy-protected, and they shouldn't use the "Compact Disc" logo because they are not, in Philips' considered view, proper compact discs at all. "

"As custodian of the standard, the company has decided it will oppose anything that will degrade it, and detract from the consumer's experience of it."

"...the company would be building CD burners that can read and burn copy protected CDs. He argues that the protection system is not a protection system as such, but simply a mechanism for stopping the playback of music. This interesting claim allows him to contend that the protection systems are not covered by the Digital Millenium Copyright Act, and lays the ground for the mother of all sue-fests with the number of large and rich companies who are most certainly not going to agree with him."

woah!

Lord of the Rings told in Lego^TM
This site aims to tell the whole saga of Lord of the Rings in the Medium of Lego^TM

This is of course an insane idea and probably will never be completed.However as far as I'm concerned it's Hats Off to the crazy person responsible for this!
