NYC: now with maple-syrup fresh scent! I think massive civil scent engineering is an overdue idea. Fix that B.O. smell on public transit for starters.

Oracle Express
You know, I always wondered why people use MySQL rather than Postgre or Firebird. MySQL just doesn't seem very ... Enterprise ready.

SFGate.com: Debate rages on use of c3rv1c4l cancer vaccine
While almost 100% effective, some contend use condones teen $3>< ( Link )
Edited 2 words above for those that care at work.
Is it just me, or are the (ultra?) conservatives here crazy?
Abstractly speaking, we can prevent <illness> with <vaccine> but think it will increase cases of <illness>. Even if cases increased, the <vaccine> would stop the <illness>.
Also, there are plenty of OTHER illnesses that could spread this way, yet people think a vaccine would encourage spreading?
Random Thought: Just because someone has a bulletproof vest doesn't mean they'll want to get shot, does it?

There's a company called Guba that is converting all the stuff on Usenet to H.264 and letting people search it.

Nevermind, for $399 this is what I'd buy, not the Shuttle M1000.

Amusing interaction of giant corporate behemoths slipping stuff onto your PC. After reading the forum link, I don't think this workaround is the be-all, end-all for WoW hacking, but it's still fairly nifty.

"Average FPS cannot be used to predict the gaming experience on a PC."
I work for Intel, but I do not speak for Intel. My opinions are not necessarily those of Intel Corporation.

I think even weirder than the revelation in the article is the revelation that Dell sells stand-alone processors. WTF?

Holy crap!In 2000, about 1 million people worldwide killed themselves—about equal to the number of deaths that year from war and homicide combined.

I've been holding off posting "Concerned: the half-life and death of gordon frohman" until it got funny. I judge this comic to post-worthy, almost entirely on the strength of the punchline.
It is a comic about HL2. It's not exactly machinima, because it ain't animated. It's not a sprite comic, either, because it uses the in-game camera. I don't know what to call it. The past couple of weeks have been pretty amusing. The first chapter or two kinda sucked, though.
