Spyware and Creative Labs
Published: Wednesday, June 13, 2001 | By: DennisI can understand installing spyware into free programs but when you actually pay for the product thats going to far. I think the ole SoundBlaster Live! is going to be replaced in short order, but only because it sux.

Dual-Head Linux
Published: Wednesday, June 13, 2001 | By: DennisSource Magazine web published an article on dual monitor support under linux. I think I might give it a try; I've been running dual monitors on my Win2k box for quite some time now. The extra monitor space is very helpful with the type of work I do.
All I need now is a KVM that works with dual monitors and I'd be set. -

mod_gzip for Apache
Published: Monday, June 11, 2001 | By: DennisWith most hosting packages the company charges you based on how many GB's you move across their system. Of course if you can support the same amount of traffic with half of the bandwidth you will be in business. That is what mod_gzip does for you on Apache webservers. Kyle at Hard|OCP claims his bandwidth went down 50% since they started using it. At about 650GB a month that is quite a savings.

1.4Ghz Athlon Review @ got|apex
Published: Friday, June 8, 2001 | By: DennisBased on the review they only got another 100Mhz out of the processor when they overclocked it, seems pretty low. I think this is a sign that AMD could be getting close to the limit of the T-Bird core.
Regardless look for this processor to be in the latest computer building project and gaming section of ninjalane.com. -
Netscape out of the browser war??
Published: Thursday, June 7, 2001 | By: DennisIt looks like Netscape has finally given its last breath. I have been pretty loyal to Netscape over the years, even after they sold out to AOL. Resistance is futile when going against the 3v1l 3mp1r3.
The only thing I hate about IE is the "sloppy code" support, but as Bill Gates would put it "It is a feature!". -
Things to come
Published: Wednesday, June 6, 2001 | By: DennisAs for things to come here at Ninjalane.
I have a slick new case mod in the works, I am hoping to have the photos and write-up in the projects section later this week. The gaming section should be coming online shortly there after, most likely towards the end of the month, I'm still working on the code. There should be a number of product reviews coming down the pipe as well, I have some things to work out with the supplier so be patient.
I have also been giving my old forums a facelift. I would still consider the forums in Beta mode right now but feel free to check out the new look here. -

Processor Gender
Published: Monday, June 4, 2001 | By: DennisNever thought my processors would have a gender other than male but it looks like I'm wrong. So what do you suppose you would get if you crossed a Pentium3 and a Pentium3 EB??
