• The PS3 has finally been hacked. And it only took 3 years, 2 months, and 11 days…
• Go-OO is a faster and better version of Open Office? ORLY? Could be worth a shot… Update: It turns out the version of OO that ships with Ubuntu actually includes the Go-OO patches, so if you’re on Ubuntu you’ve been using Go-OO all along. Ubuntu FTW! Obsolete: Use LibreOffice instead.
• Nuclear fusion edges closer to the point where it can create more usable energy than it takes to sustain a reaction. Also, uses frickn’ laser beams of such power that they could boil 50 Olympic-sized swimming pools in a single second. Repect!
• What the hell do all these ROM codes mean? Ninja Gaiden Trilogy (U) [T-Fre.67_Skaiboy][o1].smc, anyone? Know thine GoodCodes. (BTW: Original region: USA, Translation (deprecated) into French by Skaiboy, Translation version 0.67, Rom is Overdump #1 (so has more data than required to play the game, so the game could be 3.3MB, but the cartridge has had all 4MB of it dumped)).
• 1001 Rules for my Unborn Son – I don’t agree with a bunch of them, but some are bang on the money.
• Are you defecient in Vitamin D? Probably. And probably so am I…
• Spray-on liquid glass is about to take off in a big, BIG way…
• Live longer through Calorie Restriction? Maybe.. This Times Online article by (2005 “Food And Drink Writer of the Year”) Giles Coren is a great read, and made me laugh out loud more than a few times
• The two prevalent (and opposing) economic theories; Free Market Economy (Friedrich von Hayek) Vs. Keynesian Economics i.e. government steered (John Maynard Keynes) as explained via the medium of rap. No, really. It’s actually a good laugh, and worth it for the moustaches alone, so if you learn anything – bonus!

PrintScreen key not taking a screengrab? Alt+PrintScreen not capturing the window? Using Gnome? And Compiz? – Fix it thus:

Right click on the Compiz-Fusion Icon (Don’t have? Install directions here), then right-click on the Compiz Fusion Icon and select Settings Manager, then from the settings window that opens find Gnome Compatibility under the General section and enable it by clicking the tick-box.

Ching!
