Blow your speakers
Published: Friday, August 3, 2001 | By: DennisYou've heard about it, here is a preliminary report about the new anti-copying scheme that Sony is Testing.

[H]ard|Drive Coolers
Published: Friday, August 3, 2001 | By: DennisI found some interesting news at the OCP today. Kyle is actually using [H]arddrive coolers. I seem to remember that he was always going off about how if your case is well cooled you don't need one (which is true for the most part) and to spend your money in better ways. I say if it gets hot and can be damaged by that heat cool it down I will admit though he did choose some pretty good ones.
See the photos here and here
We at ninjalane are partial to the Vantec under-the-drive coolers, they are quiet and work very well. -

Thanks
Published: Thursday, August 2, 2001 | By: DennisI would like to say thanks to all that wished me a Happy Birthday yesterday. I pretty much took the day off from work and hung out with friends and family, I even got in 5 hours of Quake3. It was quite a blast. I would also like to suggest to everyone that if you can take some time for yourself on your birthday. It only happens once a year, and what better excuse to do whatever you like (of course observing all applicable laws, rules/regulations, etc..).

Rijndael or "rain doll" is its name. The article talks about being unbreakable, but for the long broken DES and by extension Triple-DES, it is a big step forward. Remember the only unbreakable cypher is the One-Time Pad
