This was brought to our attention by reader Mike MacNeill, who sent us a screenie of a Windows system alert offering him the university diploma of his dreams with "no required tests, classes, books or interviews," in the classic manner. Below is a smaller example:

Wireless Network Access Point (WNAP)
Set Up Guide
You'll eventually want to share on a larger scale. Let's say that again (say it out loud) ... you'll eventually want to share on a larger scale. Most wireless devices are geared towards the small office / home office (SoHo), and home user environments. As a result, a wireless signal typically propagates past your immediate house (especially if you live in Toronto, where many property lot sizes are about 20 feet in width). Picking up the signal with a good PCMCIA 802.11b card (such as Lucent's Orinoco series, undoubtedly the best card out there in many people's opinions) is easy on either adjoining property. If you wish to exceed that range you'll no doubt need an external antenna connected to your PCMCIA card for it to be of real use to you.

Ellen Feiss lookalike day
MacFreak™ pakt uit op zaterdag 19 oktober in Maarssen
Iedereen krijgt de gelegenheid om geheel in stijl de bekende Ellen Feiss of (voor de heren) haar broer Alan te portretteren. Een grijs jack en groen T-shirt liggen voor je klaar (of neem mee), maar jij moet daar dan nog een goede 'invulling' aan geven.

Linux-based TMTA tablet PC for $600?
Get 'em before Slashdot finds out
After reviewing Acer's Tablet PC recently I mused out loud about the viability of using a more overtly tablet-like CE device for what I think of as 'proper' Tablet PC tasks. But why wait, asked reader Per Hammer - this one looks just the ticket, and it's only $600.

Great !! Problems with Universal's Rings Xbox and GBA
Microsoft says: "If your having problems with LOTR for Xbox; simply remove the game from the hard drive, install 3 new games, then reinstall LOTR. Oh and Xbox isn't a PC."
Another reported solution is to delete the save-game file created during the game installation process. The game will then create a new save-game file once the game loads correctly and the user saves the game's progress.
What the hack .....
