Strat gamers lookout:
A new game Battle for Middle Earth has really upped
the ante with stunning graphics that go alone with the great gameplay we
have come to know and love with current high end strat games like Age of

play.

Secure free disk wiping util:
Ok you need to dump your computer. It has as junker 10GB or 400MB hard
drive on it. But you still have personal information on it that need to
go. Programs can easily recover a harddrive with ALL its information on
it AFTER you have done a full format (not the quick format). Grab this
free app to format your drive and your set:

Verizon High speed Internet Mobile Access:
Overseas have this and it is starting to come to the US. Verizon has
started rolling out a semi-high speed wireless service. You can get
300-500kbps of speed and busting up to 2Mbps downstream and 40-60kbps
upstream over a pcmcia card that looks like just a regular wifi card.
Currently the service is only in Washington, DC and San Diego,CA at
the moment but outside these areas they still offer
service but the speed drops to 40-60kbps busting up to 144kbps.

to do your moding becuase you were not skilled enough? Well here is a
method that allows you to jam in a usb pen drive into the crontroller and
a modified version of a game to run and install software.
It is very cool and lets you hack the xbox without having a mod chip
installed.
The faq on this went off line but here is the way it works:
