| Tuesday Oct 10, 2000 | Go is a really interesting 4,000 year old chinese
board game, but it can be puzzling to beginners. However, if you have a win32 box handy,
there is a free version of the excellent Many Faces of Go software that contains
a great interactive version of the "The Way to Go" tutorial.
If you get good and start beating the computer opponent too easily, take on human opponents
in realtime via the Internet Go Server.

| Monday Oct 9, 2000 | ifilm.com is a great site for broadband users to view short movies. It can even handle speeds up to 1 megabit per second. Two recent offerings like Freeware, which is a great high-tech CGI short film, and Covert Operatives, which is a great low-tech stop-motion short film, are definitely not to be missed. to Movies by skallas |

| With a forged resume and a modicum of bluffing skills, it's not difficult for an enterprising blowhard to fast-talk one's way into technical jobs he's unqualified for. Nontechnical manager dilemma: how do you efficiently cull competent employees from an applicant pool populated by both genuine gearheads and tech-poseurs? Enter BrainBench, an online technical aplitude testing service. Send applicants to the site and measure how much they really know about ASP, Oracle 8i or Javascript and you'll have a better sense of their skillset before their first day of work.

| Friday Oct 6, 2000 | Meet Mary the Gentle Dominant Princess...who's looking for her Prince Charming. But if you really want to call her up, she repeatedly mentions that she requires you to read a page describing an intricate, step by step ritual of efficiency designed to screen out flakes and losers...as well as anyone who'd dare put his own needs above her slightest whims. She also states that every other page on her site must be read, and she'll quiz you on them to make sure. Mary has been looking for her special someone for years now, and she'll probably be looking for many more years to come...considering that she'd require her husband to get rid of his pets (she sees them as competing with her for his attention) and never ride a motorcycle again, as well as quitting any job involving danger or travelling - and that's just for starters. On top of that, yet another rule is that a would-be suitor must bring a gift of money to her before she'll even go ahead with the date...but that's solely to earn the privilege of being in her company: even though she's not religious, she's very adamantly against premarital sexual activity. to Wackos by monde |

| Now that we've shown Europe that we don't always have to be 20 years behind everyone else with the legalization of RU486, how about we show our progressive spirit by handing these anti-rape devices out along with free condoms? Variations on the same theme can be found with some other patents too. to Sex by skallas |

| Sony Online Entertainment's Everquest is a nasty place.
Several locations feature gruesome implements of torture and severed heads.
Elements of the gameplay require killing pregnant women. But this is to be
expected, Everquest is a fantasy roleplaying game in a setting with medieval
overtones. So why did Sony's Verant unit ban a player for
writing a piece of disturbing fan fiction about the game? Their first
statement on the matter suggested that they didn't want that kind of guy
playing their game. Their second
statement implied it was all about protecting their copyrights, but this smacks
of legal damage control.
The idea that a corporation
can cut off a service because they don't like what you say is kind of chilling. My
response to all this? Sponsor the Electronic Frontier
Foundation.

| First, we had to boycott
Disney because of all the pornographic content maliciously snuck into good, clean films like
The Little

Lion King.
(For some reason, nobody ever mentions
Who Framed Roger Rabbit.) But even worse of an influence is the recent
Harry Potter craze. Fortunately, we also have
smart
