Someone once called Jane (my wife) Doom Woman because she enjoyed chainsawing people in DOOM years ago.
I've just told her about you. She's coming to break both your legs..

Hey, I am the poster of the article (that seems to be pissing off all Firefox users). Seems the problem was a table of specs that I cut and pasted from eBay.
Hopefully fixed now that I have deleted it and I will put a manual table in - and yes I will get Dreamweaver...
Submission + - Monstor LED burns thru CD case. You read it right. (tesladownunder.com)
Tesladownunder writes: "This huge LED is on steroids and then some. It is intended for use as a streetlight. It has a 7000 lumen output at 100W and will burn a hole in a CD case without focussing. And that's without infrared that a halogen or discharge lamp has. Very efficient and low maintainence. Stronger than HID car headlights or a 500W halogen. Hit the site for lots of data and pics of it in action including burning and irresponsible bicycle luminosity. You'll want one to attach to your keyring too."
New Review Compares MythTV to Vista MCE 234
Parkus writes "There's a nice review on AVS forum of MythTV (Ubuntu) and Windows Vista MCE. The author tried both back to back and explains the pluses and minuses of each system after using them for a month. Helpful if you're thinking about setting up your own home theater rig."
Submission + - Space Elevator Update: Going Down (spaceelevator.com)
TropicalCoder writes: "The LiftPort Space Elevator, founded four years ago with the lofty dream of building a stairway to heaven, has reached the end of its tether. The dream was to develop a ribbon of carbon nanotubes 100,000 km long, anchored to the Earth's surface at the LiftPort Station and with a counterweight in space, providing a permanent bridge between earth and space. Elevator cars would be robotic "lifters" which would climb the ribbon to deliver cargo and eventually people to orbit or beyond. Now Liftport has all but run out of funds, and the Securities Division entered a Statement of Charges and Notice of Intent to Enter an Order to Cease and Desist, Impose Fines and Charge Costs against Liftport Inc. dba Liftport Group and founder Michael Laine.
Will Michael Laine go down in history as visionary, ahead of his time, or as a scam artist who raised at least $117,000 from some 85 investors and did not market a single product in four years?"
