As a regular developer-type geek who's never done anything with radio, can somebody tell me what this does and why it is interesting? I don't want to watch an hour of video to try to figure that out.
(Please don't take that as snark - I'm truly curious.)
Infinity Ward Fights Against Modern Warfare 2 Cheaters 203
Faithbleed writes "IW's Robert Bowling reports on his twitter account that Infinity Ward is giving 2,500 Modern Warfare 2 cheaters the boot. The news comes as the war between IW and MW2's fans rages over the decision to go with IWnet hosting instead of dedicated servers. Unhappy players were quick to come up with hacks that would allow their own servers and various other changes."
Despite the dedicated-server complaints, Modern Warfare 2 has sold ridiculously well.

"...if otherwise completely hogwash..."
I've seen that phrase (or similar) a few times here, and I don't understand it. To me, the purpose of a chiropractor is to relieve pain, and they do that for me. (In fact, they were able to nearly eliminate chronic migraines that a series of conventional doctors were not able to diagnose.) I understand that many chiropractors seem to also believe in alternative therapies - but those therapies aren't chiropractic. So I don't understand what the "otherwise" is referring to.
So far, the five randomly-chosen chiropractors I've been to (as I moved between cities) have been strictly-business - just focused on relieving my pain through physical adjustments. And they've all succeeded. Maybe it isn't a "cure," but that's not what I'm looking for. (And conventional medicine doesn't offer a cure, either.)
Christmas Tree Made From 70 SCSI Hard Drives 248
Trigger writes "At our work we were decomissioning six old HP/Compaq servers to clear up space for new servers and, naturally, each server had a fairly large raid array.
Instead of formatting every hard drive (would have taken weeks performing a DoD level wipe) and disposing them all together with the servers, I decided to disassemble the hard drives and recycle them into something neat.
With a lot (a lot) of patience, I made this shiny Xmas tree.
In total there are around 70 old SCSI hard drives, between 9gb and 18gb in size each. They were nice and chunky, oldschool style. There were quite a few different hard drive models, which is good because they each had different bits which I could use. The Xmas tree is made with parts from hard drives only except for one nut which I had to purchase for $0.39." It's good to see that this guy has plenty to do at work.

There is an Enterprise version of Google Desktop that you ask for, except maybe #2. But I don't think they use a specific port - I assume it's all web service-based.
The 'hard to dig up' bit was because I had to download their Enterprise version, read its documentation, and interpret the Group Policy Template to figure out what the registry key was. If it was actually trying to roll something out company-wide they've gone to great lengths to make it easy.
