Published: Wednesday, December 20, 2000 | By: DennisI caught a glimpse of this when I followed a link from the infamously non-Netscape6 compatible site [H}ard|OCP.

Nvidia buys 3Dfx
Published: Saturday, December 16, 2000 | By: DennisAccording to this article 3Dfx will sell most of the biz to Nvidia.

Personal firewalls easy to breach
Published: Monday, December 11, 2000 | By: DennisHere is a snip
It’s one thing to rush an application to market without thinking about security. It’s another to rush a security application to market.

I however have a different solution. Break out that old P90 or 486, get 2 NIC's and install Linux. Then with 4 or so lines of code you have a Secure, Functional, and Free Firewall. -
Cheats Discovered in CounterStrike
Published: Monday, December 11, 2000 | By: DennisIt seems that various "cheats" have been discovered in the retail release of CounterStrike. Not that I am a big fan of CS but I know how much it sucked to get railed in mid-air by a lucky punk with a ping of 300 over and over again. He might have been good but not that good.
