Amputee Ferreira overcomes the odds Equal terms … Ferreira held his own. ASUNCION: Former Paraguay striker Julio Gonzalez Ferreira has played his first professional game since having his left arm amputated following a car accident almost two years ago. Gonzalez played for nearly an...

This is a project I've been following pretty closely since its announcement. I've been looking for a good phone to use for a while, and none of the smartphones I've read reviews on are quite what I'm looking for. Personally I'm willing to wait a while until this project matures a bit more...

Martins survives 'assassination attempt' Newcastle United striker Obafemi Martins has revealed that he survived a shooting in Lagos when masked gunmen sprayed his car with bullets. The Nigerian international was at a petrol station close to his apartment in the city on Monday night when...

Okay, I've figured out which cities I'll be visiting and where I'll be staying, but I don't know enough about the cities to know what I should do once I get there. Some miscellaneous travelling tips and local knowledge would be great too. Since this is an international community and a lot of...

Check this out. I dunno why I'm posting this... I was just watching random clips, and I was surprised to see something like this.

I've done too many dedications around here already, so I'll keep it short. You guys have been great. Cheers... I was supposed to hit 25,000 about 2 years ago, but things got really hectic around me and I stopped posting for a long time. I'm back on the forums these days, but nowhere near as...

I didn't think it was fair that I was receiving vCash donations from others, but not giving any away, so for the sake of my conscience I've decided to do a giveaway too. Because I'm such a generous person, I won't do the "first 20 people to reply" thing - my offer is valid for EVERYONE who...

"Researchers from the computer science department at the University of Washington have released BitTyrant, a new BitTorrent client that is designed to improve download performance via strategic selection of peers and upload rates. Their results call into question the effectiveness of...

I normally don't use any of those social networking sites, but I actually like the way Facebook is put together. I found it useful for getting back in touch with old primary and high school friends whom I hadn't heard from in a while. I guess it depends how many people in your country use it...

Obviously not real, but freaking brilliantly done:

Well not really... I decided I'd be self-centred and start a new thread to announce the fact that the question I submitted to The Guardian's (fantastic online paper; just my style of journalism) Knowledge segment was published :D I sent in the question a few days ago, and I thought it'd be...

Ray-Tracing to Revolutionize Gaming Graphics? The quality of gaming graphics is about to take a quantum leap, especially if 26-year-old Daniel Pohl has anything to do with it. He's already knocked the gaming world's socks off with Quake 3 RT, an experimental version of that first-person...

I think someone brought this up earlier... I can access juventuz.com from my home computer, but when I come to work it says "connecting to juventuz.com" and eventually times out, so I have to go through a proxy, which isn't a huge problem, but it's still a bit of a pain. What's the dealio?

I used to use a 5.1 speaker setup for my computer, but I've since moved that machine out of the room, and now I just use a laptop. Purely for the purpose of listening to music with my existing speaker setup, I was wondering if there was some kind of simple adapter I could plug into the...

I'm a big fan of both movies, so I had to admire the patience of the people who put these together. If you can't be bothered watching the whole movie, the short versions will give you the gist of what happens. Pulp Fiction - Scarface -

So this is a double post. Shoot me. I've been looking around recently for some music that's suitable for driving/chilling (as in sitting on the verandah on a rainy day with peppermint tea in hand), and the following have helped me out a little: Aqualung (esp. Strange and Beautiful, Easier...
