"He has smuggled fake artwork into Tate Britain, and sprayed a vision of paradise on the Palestinian side of Israel's "security wall".



Now, the "guerrilla graffiti" artist Banksy has taken aim at the cult of empty celebrity and its current poster child, Paris Hilton."

{mosimage}The long, long, long awaited v1.4 patch for Battlefield 2 is now out! It contains a new map called "Road to Jalalabaad" (Conquest 16-32-64, Singleplayer, Co-op).


Also, the vehicle drop has been modified to help prevent exploits such as blocking
enemy vehicles, destroying vehicles and commander assets, or as an alternative to artillery, C4 tossing distance has been reduced and a prone->crouch delay has been added.


Grab the patch from v1.3 or the full patch locally from AusGamers.

Say No to Netgear

Posted In |

{mosimage}Now I don't normally write rants like this on my blog, but I have had it with Netgear products. I don't know how many times I've ended up bashing my head against a brickwall trying to configure Netgear Wireless products.


I just spent half a day getting a brand new RangeMax WAP up and running and as soon as I connected a WiFi device to it, I could no longer log into the WAP. Somehow the password changed. I then found out that the WAP doesn't actually support DHCP Passthru, which is a necessity.



Wireless networking wasn't meant to be difficult, but companies like Netgear and D-Link have made WiFi on Windows, an absolute nightmare/joke. Now, take an Apple Airport Express, it's a beautiful piece of hardware, elegant looking and you know what, it just works. You can also stream music across the network via iTunes.



Give it power, a network cable and then configure it (PCs need to be wired, Macs can do it wirelessly) and its done and dusted. So, with that said, I am never touching any WiFi networks unless they're run by Apple gear.


Updated 13/8: Just got an Apple Airport Express and had it setup and working within 8 minutes.
