When KillerNIC was first featured on Slashdot, there were many great comments. Do get yourself informed by the limitations of the card and the various bottlenecks that will make this card useless.
I prefer Mouse Gestures to All-in-One Gestures. It provides the option to adjust the trail effect, which allows me to have a less processing-intensive trail on my slow laptop.
The so-called routers (NATs) are only one-way firewalls. They block unsolicited incoming packets just like the built-in firewall in Windows XP SP2. Wouldn't it be smarter to rely on FREE 3rd-party firewalls that protect more than just WAN-level attacks?
Mandriva 2007 and Fedora Core 6 now come out-of-the-box with 3D desktop support (XGL/AIGLX + Compiz). The 3D desktop not only serve as a great piece of eyecandy, it (e.g. cube desktop and Expose clone) also makes the GUI friendlier and more efficient. As a Ubuntu user, I'm a little disappointed that Ubuntu 6.10 does not provide 3D desktop support.
The best part about DD-WRT is the QoS function, especially so in a typical multiuser home environment. With QoS enabled, I can play online games or VoIP while allowing someone else to run BitTorrent on the other machines in my network. You just don't find this kind of feature on the typical routers unless you pay a premium for it, like the pricy D-Link DGL-4300.
Why does this seem like its going to piss off a number of kids who get this game for christmas or a birthday?
I know you're attempting to get modded "Funny" but just a reality check here...
I have played Gran Turismo since GT2 and I am quite sure that kids would not want to get this game for Christmas or as their birthday present. The GT series is just too real for kids to enjoy. They will end up hitting walls and in grass patches most of the time. I think they'll derive more fun from arcade-style racing games such as Need For Speed or Burn Out than from GT.
Ventrilo and Teamspeak do not allow free calls to landlines but Gizmo Project does. Personally I have made several voice calls to overseas landlines for free. You can get more information about their free VoIP services here.
I was taught to code the AI of a tic-tac-toe game using the Minimax Algorithm when I was in school. This is a simple yet good example of creating artificial intelligence, which I believe many programming beginners can adopt and make their very first AI enabled game.
In this story, the game is played with a real board. That is the hard part.

Hey man, thanks for shedding light on this.

Good thing I'm using Windows. Oh wait...
I'm amazed by this cutting-edge breakthrough!
It will appear when you use Windows Explorer. ;)
With this cool script, we can finally hear the painful cries of the Slashdotted servers.

It's there, just that you'll need to decompress it before you can read it.
That's no Slashdot effect! Alienware just took back their server hardware.

Those are no bugs. Those are features!
Good thing I'm using ICQ.

I bet they still cost an arm and a leg.
