    Nobel laureate rings energy alarm bell

    Since we're talking about cars, coefficient drag, tree-huggers and eco-wienies, has anyone seen reviews about the new Ford GT? Ford did a nice job entering the production-class 200 mph club! Although not the cream of the crop, the GT certainly stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the other members...

    Highest Bridge in the World

    Good pictures Time. I read about this bridge at the BBC yesterday. They have some nice pictures with the valley floor flooded with fog and the bridge towers majestically towering above. However, in my opinion, the pictures you linked to are more realistic and show what a scare this beast is on...

    First Video Call Center

    Israel has the first video call center. This brings a whole new set of rules to the call center environment -- the agents need to look good. How do you hire without discriminating against those that are ugly, yet have the knowledge?

    So Long Old Friend . . .

    Phooey. My distributor doesn't have anymore Gigabyte GA-K8VT800 motherboards. Hopefully that will change soon. Most of the alternatives are nVidia chipsets with a lot of bells and whistles that I don't need and that cost a lot extra. I expect that as Sempron takes over in the budget sector...

    Huge NOD32 files

    F-Secure because their recent (2003 & 2004) track record for Windows is excellent (I'm assuming this is a Windows system). Plus, it is something different, like Kaspersky. Giant Antispyware because it works better than Adaware and Spybot. If you're not careful, Giant will castrate your...

    Teaching Linux

    The few times I've stepped out to use Linux, I look for something that is similar to Windows and can easily be navigated through a GUI. Running the commands at a prompt is neat, but I'd rather use a simple GUI to . . . let's say . . . set a Samba share. Also, for those Linux moments, I'm...

    Testing Anti-Spyware Programs

    I just installed and ran Giant's AntiSpyware. It picked up RealVNC as spyware, but during the cleaning phase of the program, it recommended the "ignore" option, as it understood what RealVNC is used for and why someone would install it the software. However, it did point out the security risk...

    DVD burner recommendations.

    Lately I've been happy with NEC's 3500AG. Pioneer's 108D is equally as good. Anand compares the latest 16x burners here.
