The one illustrated above is nearly two pounds, dwarfing ten-year old coolers that weighed a few ounces. We took a look at ten different super-sized coolers and try them out on a variety of motherboards and socket combinations." Make sure you checkout Thermaltake's Big Typhoon!!!

As a fan of the L4D series, when word of this leaked out, I of course was intrigued... now that intrigue has now turned into "I GOTTA HAVE THIS GAME". If you've played L4D/L4D2, then U have an idea what this game is about... U & a band of survivors are trying to escape from hordes of undead who want to make U their next meal... but that's where the similarities end. The creators of this game took L4D as their inspiration & crafted their own beast that offers up something more. Co-Op still plays a huge role in this but now they've introduced a leveling system for your character... this helps flesh out just how U want to play the game with your character. Als…

President Bush was visiting a primary school. One of the classes was in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meaning. The teacher asked the president if he would like to lead the discussion of the word "tragedy." So the illustrious leader asked the class for an example of a tragedy. Little Jimmy stood up and offered, "If my best friend, Johnny, who lives on a farm, were playing in the field and a tractor ran him over and killed him, that would be a tragedy." "No," said Bush, "that would be an accident." Little Suzie raised her hand: "If a school bus carrying 50 children drove over a cliff, killing everyone inside, that would be a tragedy." …

Megatexture in Quake Wars "Many other non-graphics foundations were also changed. The built-in "boxes and ragdolls" physics engine was significantly improved especially to make it more network friendly. The networking code was also changed to reduce the amount of information being passed around, with Area of Relevance being the biggest change. In this system the engine will break networking traffic in a Level of Detail fashion not too different from what graphics cards do, with fall back positions of varying network fidelity as entities get farther away or occluded. The engine is also fairly threaded with many sub-systems like sound, bot A.I., MegaTexture and the rend…
