I’m reading this post on boards.ie by a mature 17 year old in Cellbridge who got booted from his local Aldi because of their “children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult” rule. I haven’t seen this rule before, and I am surprised to see it being enforced.
Apparently the issue [...]
From the site that brought you the cockroach-controlled mobile robot, and the functional lego crossbow: here are the top 5 most creative laptop mods. The one shown below is made of wood and leather. I love these things.
Courtesy of Jozi on Unreal.ie – an interesting look at how Disney clone their cartoon images. I knew they recycled frames (as seen in the Itchy and Scratchy factory), but didn’t realise they put them in different cartoons altogether.

A few years ago, Text Mode Quake was summonning Satan [...]
Wednesday, April 26, 2006 Any of you who have played a bit of QuakeWorld in the past but found that the standard online was too difficult to compete against – now is a good time to give it another shot.
