Creative Labs prevent user from fixing their audio drivers

From what I understand, there have been problems getting certain Creative Labs sound cards to work properly in Vista, even though they claim the cards are Vista compatible. A guy by the nick of “Daniel_K” (on the Creative Labs forums) hacked together drivers that actually work, as well as provide extra functionality on certain cards.

TF2 Stats (program)

A new program has just been released for Team Fortress 2, called “TF2 Stats”, which reads in one of your game files and displays all kinds of interesting information (even more than the score board does). The guy who coded it, did it over the Easter weekend - not bad for a few days work.

TF2: “Reptile the movie”

There’s this Team Fortress 2 player, called “Reptile” (who’s really good as soldier) and there’s a video out of him on the net that’s really worth watching. I’d recomment NOT watching the YouTube version, but rather downloading the high quality version from Team Pandemic (direct link).

Firefox 3 beta 4 has just been released (which means there’s a Firefox 3 beta 4 Portable, by PortableApps.com out as well)… which is great, because Firefox is becoming better (and faster) with every release. Unfortunately it takes a while for addon/extension developers to update their extensions to support these new versions/beta’s - luckily it’s [...]

Learning LINGO

My brother has to learn “LINGO” for varsity… basically it’s a programming language “to make building and solving linear, nonlinear and integer optimization models”. Yeh I’m not really sure what any of that means either, but I’m the computer programmer in the family, and my brother’s the genius/mathematician so I said I’d try and figure [...]
