Go grab it from here.people.opera.com Winamp 2.78 has been updated again. The changes in this update are as follows: * minibrowser fixes * cddb2 support * updates to mod, midi, and wav support (from the wonderful PP) Grab it from the following links: - winamp278_full.exe download.nullsoft.com - winamp278_innocent.exe download.nullsoft.com - winamp278_strokes.exe download.nullsoft.com VCool v1.8 Beta 5 has been released. The AMD processor software cooler has had the following changes meade/ added: - Fixed a bug with the PCI options settings. - Added Halt Command Detect option for KT266 boards. - Increased the beep threads priotity to make the beeps occur even when the CPU is VERY busy. - Added L1 and L2 registry settings (HKCU/Software/MPET/VCOOL) to allow tweaking of the 'smart' idle loop: L1 - period of non-C2 idle time after that the CPU enters C2 L2 - if the C2 sleeping time is shorter than L2 when the CPU wakes up, fall back to non-C2 idle. So basically increasing L1 and L2 (default: 400, 1000) will reduce the cooling effect but increase performance and vice versa. These settings are only active when the 'smart' idle loop is activated. Please let me know what settings are optimal on your system. - You can now divide the fan rpms by modifying the FD1, FD2 and FD3 registry entries (default=1). Note: This does not change the internal hardware divisor of the chip, i.e. it won't help if you're having problems with the readout - it'll just devide the calculated rpm by FDx.

You can get the new version from the programs built-in updater or download it manually herehttp://www.flashfxp.com/download.php. Telstra has confessed that a ZDNet Australia survey which questions whether the telco's Internet service provides value for money was rigged by someone within its ranks, just days after its ramped up Net access toll fell under the investigation of the competition watchdog for possible breaches of the Trade Practices Act: ZDNet Australia set up a poll at 3pm on Thursday, which asked readers: ?Does Telstra?s BigPond Internet service provide value for money?? At about 5pm, 25 respondents to the poll said no, value for money wasn?t provided by the national carrier, with just one reader saying otherwise. Within half an hour, the survey had bulked up dramatically, sparking a disbelieving turnaround in Telstra?s favour. Within those thirty minutes, a massive 287 respondents had apparently logged a favourable vote for Telstra ? a response rate never seen before in previous ZDNet Australia polls and a bit of a dubious blackflip in light of the widespread criticism Telstra has attracted in response its Net price hikes. ZDNet Australia logs showed that a 'bot' on IP address 203.18.114.238, registered to Telstra?s Internet Managed Services (IMS) division, had indeed been set to fix the survey results and consistently hit the ?yes? option of the poll every second. The poll fixing comes just weeks after it was revealed that Microsoft had rigged a similar ZDNet UK poll, putting .Net in a more positive light than Java for building Web services.

As for the Telstra fixing thing, it seems to be getting all the more common doesn't it? Microsoft too? I never liked them... I make a point of ensuring they make no money out of me... UNREAL 2!!!!!! OH MY GOD!!! This is exciting... Where can I get it, or have they only released the engine? Erin |
