We must never forget: Duke Nukem Forever

Let’s all join hands and remember Duke Nukem Forever…

Gizmondo: Get me off this rock!

Now here is an initiative I must promote! Gizmodo have a collection of space articles under the headline “Get me off this rock“. If there is anything we need to do as a species it is to expand outside of our globe.

Windows XP goes to the grave

Which other company in the world would end support for a product currently in use by 64% of the Internet connected computers? I know, Vista is the shit… just remove “the” and I totally agree. Granted a operating system must evolve but the users seems to disagree about the direction it is taking. The only hope we have is that Windows 7 will be all what Vista wasn’t, that is cheap, simple, secure and efficient. They lost me to Ubuntu a long time ago, I only use Windows when forced to for different work related reasons. Soon many will realize that Windows isn’t much simpler to use for the average computer owner, only reason they still have it is tradition… and the fact that working with Microsoft Office from home is something employers almost assume you can do (and keep it updated to the latest version mind you or you might as well go fish).

Star Wars on Telnet

This must be one of the geek coolest things I’ve seen in ages. If you have telnet on your computer (most computers do) then simply connect to this address like so:

telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl

Wait for the commercials to pass and then enjoy the movie.

You’re next!

Porn in space?

Apparently someone offered Virgin Galactic $1 million for a space flight to record the first ever pornographic zero-g movie in space! A “normal” space flight costs about $200 thousand but Virgin Galactic turned down the offer. I guess they do not want to loose their virginity! People who allready payed up front for the trip (some 280 customers reportadly) can now enjoy unsoiled seats.
