This article talks about which tech is "better", Half-Life 2's Source engine or Doom 3's Engine. It compares and contrasts. While both games are quite impressive in their own right, one is clearly superior to the other. When taking all factors of graphic fidelity, engine optimization, and overall scale into consideration, Source is just head and shoulders above Doom 3.

I just saw this mentioned in a BroadBandReports.com's security forum thread. The Register mentions a new Windows worm (Rbot-GR) that has the capability to using webcams to spy on users. It is currently circulating across the Net.

Now, really. Is that a good idea? Do you really want to see people's hairy butts? Eeeeeeee...

This /. story has an interesting and sad story about an elderly man who was scanned intensively. I haven't been to an aiport since 1993, and I am pretty sure I would be picked due 1) hearing aid, 2) my physical disabilities, etc.

I just read this in BroadbandReports's security forum thread about an article that said operating system makers and security product vendors are failing users.

Oooh, that's a clever prank to pull on someone. >:)

This video had me laughing. Some guy crashed into a glass window and thought it was a sliding door. Oops! :) Actually, I have done that before at someone's place at night in my college days, and I thought the patio glasss door was opened (didn't see reflections). My nose, ow. Well, at least I didn't break the glass and my nose. :(

Is that dragon really made in Origami? If so, then wow!

I just discovered this neat Web site for TV shows on DVD. You can see schedule, information, vote for TV shows to be on DVD, reviews, etc. There are a LOT of TV shows, even old ones.

I just noticed BugMeNot v0.5 (8/12/2004) is now out for Mozilla and FireFox Web browsers. I love this extension! Here's what's new...

ZDNet has a story about how Microsoft has a lack of multicultural savvy. It cost the Redmond behemoth millions of dollars, according to a company executive.

The software giant has seen its products banned in some of the biggest markets on earth--and it's all because of eight wrongly colored pixels, a dodgy choice of music and a bad English-to-Spanish dictionary.

It's my personal jihad now to get Doom 3 to run under Linux.. (yay WineX!) While hanging out in #cedega on freenode's irc network, tryna get the free version of WineX CVS to install.. I discovered something really funny.. People have been bombarding poor channel #cedega with questions and complaints about how to get Doom 3, and what looks like sierra's online game deployment system i've just only heard about called Steam.. uh.. and apparently some people have had some less than easy time with it.. hehe

Hehe! I sure don't want to be inside of that airplane!

Dodgy (will annoyingly resize your Web browser) will tell you if you are a model citizen or not. So, far I am a good ant with the laws with the results:

funny (comic).

Worth1000.com has a theme going called Hello Kitty. Mousey, you belong in this this doctored photograph. =P

FiringSquad has an interview and piracy discussion with StarForce.

Hello internet! We're back after a couple days of hair pulling, nauseating downtime! And WHY, you ask, did teh amount of email from Ant in your respective email boxes suddenly spike?? Because SOME R0DENT decided to go and discover INCONSISTENCIES in Debian's php4 and apache2 compile options!! yes yes.. The moment we get a proper domain name for the site dedicated to channeling the girth of Ant Freshness(tm) out of email and on the web where it belongs; I go and break it.. (thank you, thank you)

Well, a php4 recompile later, it turns out I've also screwed up the site so bad two other small furry animals had to intervene!!

Long story short.. I owe KaT and Hystrix a LOT of beer.. Thanks a billion, fellaz.. maybe Ant will stop yelling at me all day now.. ^_^;

...We now return you to your regularily scheduled Quality Foraged Links of Internet Coolness.. (And I promise i'll never update the server again!!)

Boys! Girls! Small furry animals of all ages!! [oh, and lizards.. and insects, too i guess...] Check it out!!! Update your bookmarks, we're a Real Site(tm) now!

DNS across the wild wild internet might still be propagating the good news, if you're catching this in a proximate time domain, the real link might not work right yet.. but hey! 5 whole people read this site, so who cares!! =)

/. has a story about humanoid robot combats in Japan. See New Scientist's story and PC Watch for information, photographs, and video clips.
