Anyone know why Google added some changes with their search engine results and how these new changes work? Noticed the new icons over the past couple of days. I am presuming these are to be used as a means of personalising search engine results and for better indexing? Ted.

Knight Rider is back as Knight Industries Three Thousand... did anyone see it? Another TV show I loved to watch as a kid so I was hoping this was going to be good. I didn't think it turned out so bad for a pilot, it can obviously get better. It is certainly no worse than that garbage Sarah Conner Chronicles! K.I.T.T is looking quite mean and aggressive now but where did his turbo boost go?... ...Kittmaster is going to be busy if he plans on updating his own KITT to the Three Thousand series car If they do decide to make a series it will be nice to see more of Deanna Russo, she was looking hot... Ted.

made ya look! :biggrin:

I have been having a bit of a bad time with Pidgin and Yahoo of late. For those that do not know Pidgin is a multiprotocol IM client. I have not been able to stop Yahoo from dropping offline so I decided to have a look around for a temporary substitute and came across Digsby. I am not sure but I don't think it has even been around for a year and it is already looking very promising and a good alternative to Pidgin. I thought I'd post this here rather than in the Freeware topic to see what some of you guys and girls think and maybe some of you already know something more about Digsby and its history? You can find and download Digsby here: http://www.digsby.com/ Ted.

I just treated myself to one of these old classic joysticks for some retro gaming, anyone remember the Competition Pro? Great thing is it is USB and works very well with emulators such as WinUAE. I'm hooked on Kick-Off again... it has never been the same with either the keyboard or joypad. I'd recommend buying one if your in to your retro gaming and have been looking for a classic joystick like this... Ted.

ey all, Just found something interesting on the web. Someone keygenned a Delphi program called Newsleecher, where the latest final version uses the "uncrackable" IceLicense algo. I know that accessroot has an old tutorial about cracking the protection by simply changing some commands. As far as I know no one has even keygenned this algo. Might be a good thing for discussing, do people know how to keygen IceLicense? is it private stuff or did no one ever brothered that there was an uncracked protection?

Anyone else tired of the presidential race for the White House?

Hi I just thought I'd mention this game, just played it a bit and it's wonderful! This is for all the 2D Retro freaks out there, and I even hate old games It's really wonderful, it looks great, nice gameplay with some weird metal arm that enables you to swing across platforms and the whole design is just hilarious, especially the stupid dialogs You can also play it in coop mode http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/...onic%20commando Some screenshots: http://kotaku.com/346646/gorgeous-bionic-c...ed-screen-shots It's only 15$ on D2D, about 250MB in size I just got it from a torrentsite but I plan on buying it, considering it's that cheap it really is wor…

Hi, as you may have noticed, the new LARGE HADRON COLLIDER ( particle accelerator ) near Geneva, Switzerland has been completed and will start running on the 10th of September. Today the lawsuit to prevent the use of the LHC for scientific experiments at the European Court of Human Rights has been denied. The suitor feared that the LHC possesses an uncontrollable risk for mankind and the whole earth cause of the possible creation of temporary? black miniholes during the runtime. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_Hadron_Collider http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safety_of_the...Hadron_Collider So why not make a poll and lets see your scientific expertise on the coming even…

Anyone catch the season premier of Fringe? I just finished watching it. If your into shows about investigations into the paranormal and unexplained phenomena, this may be a promising new series. After the first 15 minutes I was sucked in. I'll be watching more of this one http://fox.com/fringe/

Just wondering if anyone has seen this TV series yet, is it any good? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0851851/ I read from a few sources of people who saw the pilot some months ago said it was good. But four episodes in is it still living it up? Ted.
