If you take a quiz on Microsoft propoganda, you get to download a Halo theme. So test out your Microsoft worshiping skills, and see how successfuly you have been brainwashed by Big Bill.

For those of yall with large files, you can breathe a sigh of relief, as Linux (and as of Oct 6, FreeBSD) now supports files up to 128 Pentabytes. That comes to 144,115,188,075,855,872 bytes. A Petabyte is about a thousand Terabytes, and a Terabyte is about a thousand Gigabytes. That's a lot of bytes. The real question though is kind of file could ever be that large. But I'm sure at somepoint down the road there will something that will have to be that big. Perhaps holographic movies, or digitalized representations of ourselves stored on computers. Now wouldn't that be interesting....

MathWorld is back up after some downtime due to legal strugles. It's like an online mathmatical encyclopedia, otherwise known as a geek's best friend. All kinds of math topics are included in the website, and if you ever wanted to know what Fermat's Last Theorem is, well now you can know.
