New Combo Drive -- 10:51 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

I was at Wal-Mart today (no affiliation, yadda, yadda) and saw that they have the LG GCC-4480B for $75. Quite a deal. The 4480B is a 48x/24x/48x CD-RW and a 16x DVD-ROM combo drive. It works very nicely in both Windows and Linux. Now I just have to figure out how to get Mt. Rainier support working in Linux. That will be far too cool. You'd better snag one of these before they realize that they are too cheap.

Mozilla 1.3 Released -- 3:32 pm CST, Update by J.t.Qbe

A.T.'s still on the road home so I'll beat him to the punch on this one: Mozilla version 1.3 has now been officially released. Get it here.

A.T. Hun comments: I knew that would happen. I'm now running 1.3 final. I've been very happy with the way that the spam filtering has been working in the beta builds. That feature all by itself makes Mozilla Mail worthwhile. Add that on to the most standards-compliant browser available and you've got a powerful package. Do yourself a favor and give Mozilla a spin!

GeForce FX 5200 and 5600 Review -- 10:29 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

HardOCP posted their GeForce FX 5200 and 5600 review. The results are mixed, to put it mildly. It seems that NVIDIA's new chips can't keep up with ATI's at the same image quality. As a matter of fact, without FSAA or anisotropic filtering, the GeForce4 Ti4200 outperforms the FXs on a number of the benchmarks. I guess I'll be waiting a generation to upgrade. Gotta be ready for DOOM III, don'tcha know :)

Epic Bonus Pack Install Script -- 11:08 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

UnrealTower posted a handy Linux install script for the Epic Unreal Tournament 2003 Bonus Pack. It automagically unzips the pack, moves the files to the right place, and adds the appropriate .INI lines. Very slick, and much easier than doing it by hand (like I did). You can snag it from their downloads page.
