Now, not only can’t you send certain filenames with queries (e.g. “download.php?”) over MSN, you can’t even send *any URL with a .info domain*. This affects all clients, including Adium and Pidgin, because it’s done by the MSN server.

The title doesn’t say a thing. Nowadays everyone can get almost any distro from a local mirror and so, you shouldn’t worry about the $20.

High-definition capture and monitoring equipment has long been available for medical uses, but for whatever reason, widespread use has yet to catch on. Now, however, you people will be able to um, partake, in viewing the “first HDTV surgery ever broadcast” as National Geographic HD airs a special presentation of the 1080p system in action. According to a doctor that actually got to experience the technology first-hand, the KSEA HDTV Surgical System provides a widescreen, Full HD look at what’s going on within, employs a 3CCD camera with an acquisition resolution of 1,920 x 1,080, and outputs an image that is progressively scanned and displayed at 60 full frames-per-second. We’d recommend you tune in to the aforementioned show on September 16th if the channel is available in your neck of the woods, but you may want to click on and see a few stills of the KSEA in action before subjecting yourself (read: your weak stomach) to the real deal.

AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson apparently subscribes to a different school of marketing and demand than most others — the telecom boss flatly denied that AT&T $10 DSL plan is hidden on the company’s website, and went on to say that “customers haven’t been clamoring for it,” and he doesn’t really want to sell it to anyone.

Many members of the digital elite do not see themselves as particularly fortunate, in part because others have more.

While we’re not crazy about modeled solid-state guitar tone, sometimes firing up that 800-watt tube amp just isn’t feasible — which is where Line6’s new Pocket POD comes in. Essentially a miniature version of the company’s popular POD amp modelers, the Pocket POD features 300 presets based on vintage and modern amps and cabs developed in conjunction with several popular guitarists, a host of effects including delay and compression, 1/8-inch input for jamming along to an iPod, headphone jack, and USB connectivity to Line6’s Vyzex software to tweak and tune your presets any way you like. If this thing sounds half as convincing as other Line6 modelers, it’ll be quite a steal at $129 — but deep down you’ll know it’s not the same.
