JavaScript Error
Published: Wednesday, February 19, 2003 | By: DennisSome of you might get a JavaScript error when clicking on the "past results" link under the Ninjalane Web Poll. This is due to your browser not downloading the new JavaScript file. To solve the problem simply hold down the shift key and hit the reload or refresh button (depending on your browser).
Look for more new features in the next couple of days.

Pentium 4 Overclocking Adventure @ TweakTown
Published: Tuesday, February 18, 2003 | By: DennisThey speak of hobbies like its something you do for fun.
"Well awhile ago, a few “computer junkies” got together looking for that new breathtaking hobby. As they juggled their minds, they looked at a few computer magazines with CPU listings. “P2 266”, “P2 300”, “P2 333” - Oh, could it be possible to take a P2 266 to perhaps 333MHz?"
Overclocking maybe the most expensive hobby known to man, cept for maybe Nitro R/C trucks. -

Crucial DDR400 Memory Modules
Published: Monday, February 17, 2003 | By: DennisI just got word that Crucial is building PC3200 memory modules due to popular demand.
"PC3200 is designed for use in motherboards that require a 200MHz front-side bus with an effective front-side bus speed of 400MHz. Crucial’s PC3200 modules have components at 400MHz (200Mhz x 2). They are not overclocked components."
According to the website these are however CAS3 DDR modules so they might not be very overclocker friendly. -

SiS Scrapping 0.13 Plans
Published: Monday, February 17, 2003 | By: DennisInstead of moving to the 0.13 process SiS has decided to focus on making some money instead. Not a bad plan, lets hope it pans out.
"Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS) will discontinue all production and development plans at 0.13 microns and below within its own facilities and may begin taking contract-manufacturing orders in the future, confirmed company chairman John Hsuan." -

Overclocking at Wired
Published: Monday, February 17, 2003 | By: DennisThis is something you don't see every day and overclocking article at Wired.com.
""It's an electrical smell, a plastic smell, only there's something else," says John Sylvia, his mouth lost in a bushy beard and his arms tattooed to the knuckles. "There's a fear factor that goes along with the smell. You know something went bad." Sylvia is describing the first CPU he ever fried." -
Fun News - Ninja Attack
Published: Friday, February 14, 2003 | By: DennisQuite a few people find this site by looking for the keyword of "Ninja", so I figured that some Ninja News is in order
. These stories aren't really a normal type of news for Ninjalane but it is pretty funny just the same.
Totally Sweet Ninjas attack Congo train - aug 26, 2002
"The government have blamed the attack on so called Ninja rebels, a militia group active during Congo's civil wars of 1997 and 1998, who style themselves on the ancient Japanese warriors. "They do this because ninjas are totally sweet," said a government spokesman. "
In More recent news

" The so-called Ninja fighters, who take their name from an ancient band of Japanese warriors made popular by Hollywood movies, hide out in the forests of the Pool region and are led by renegade Pastor Frederik Ntoumi. "
Do you suppose they "freak out" too?? -
Symantec Knew and Said Nothing.
Published: Friday, February 14, 2003 | By: DennisCatchy title huh? make sure you read page two of the Wired.com article.
"Symantec claims to have identified the Slammer worm that ravaged the Internet during the last weekend of January hours before anyone else did.
Symantec then shared the information only with select customers, leaving the rest of the global community to get slapped around by Slammer."
How sweet it is to be screwed by Symantec. Here is their reason.
" "Unless you are a paid Symantec DeepSight Threat Management System customer, you would not have received the early notification," "
A valid reason but hardly excusable.
