Cisco to buy Nintendo?

Cisco has been slowly getting into to the electronics market for the past 3 years. Cisco's next target might be Nintendo. Alot of modern gaming relies on broadband entertainment so buying an already well defined company in the console and handheld industry would be a smart move for Cisco. I have doubt that Nintendo will even sell to Cisco. Wich means that they would then buy their other prime target, Tivo.

Apple is getting rich off the ipod? Think again.

Sometime around 2001 both Creative and Apple put in a patent for a hard-drive based mp3 players, the zen and ipod, but Creative actually put their patent in first, so basically, because Creative is a Microsoft based company, Apple has been paying Microsoft to make the ipod since it came out. I credit this little tidbit of information to Andrew.

The unbreakable program!

I wrote an extremly stable password program to test other's skill. It consits of... 1000-5000 lines of code I can't remeber. It has never crashed because it's 32bit and written by me in basic. The passcode is a randomly generated 6 digit number that is constantly changes in no particular pattern. The "Master passcode" Is always constant but is split up into.... 6 different variables. There are 3 master passcodes that are formed out of the 6 variables. Windows crashed and I lost the source code for it. The application is availible on the website. The Master passcode is so long that i've forgotten it. I have no way of recovering this lost information. I challenge everyone out there to email me the following: A screenshot of the end, the master passcodes, and the application itself to prove that it is indeed instact.

Speed up your connection then test it.

Over the past 4 moths I've found 2 things that are extremly useful toghether to get the most out of your connection. I've found a free program to tweak the settings that windows uses. It's extremly powerful yet is very easy to use and has a very helpful help file wich isn't even needed if you know the least bit about computers. The other thing is a relible website that will test you bandwidth and will tell you your connection speed. Therefore you can mess with all the settings until you get the best connection.

MU online - Free RPG

This is a completly free online rpg. Go to the website to download the cilent. This game is very similar to Diablo 2 execpt you can see your charector and it doesn't look isometric. The whole game is in fact realtime 3D via directX 8.0+ and Direct3D. I'm getting an unwavering 100FPS because there is an fps limiter built in. So druting battles its 100fps and when im looking at nothing but grass ts 100fps. So I don't know what the minimum specs are but ill ballpark it at: 1.5ghz, 256MB+ Ram, anda 64MB graphics card. This game is a very extensive one and also very fun. There are many quests to partake on but the don't hit you in the face saying: "do this now" This is a must download for any Diablo fan looking for more.

2 free games for your gaming pleasure.

Blood 2: The chosen: http://www.the-underdogs.org/game.php?id=4154

This is a really fun game and the title says it all. This game by far is the bloodest game I have ever played. This is how I play: Shoot them in the head then the head flys off and the body is in tact but blood goes everywhere, Cut up the body with a knife, then take the heart for life.
Note: the adress above is the only place to get the full version for free.

Mount&Blade: http://www.taleworlds.com
This is also a really good game but It's ok for the whole family. Just some blood particle effects when you are hit which can be disabeld. This is a midevil RPG that i really enjoy. The battles are Amazing. The archery is perfect, and the horses handle beutifully. And you can change the graphics so that it will run on any pc. I have them at max and get about 154 FPS on average. (My pc is Amazing though so don't exepect theese results) Note: this game is not a demo but you can only play until you reach level 6. Then you must start a new game or purchase a serial number.
