Power and internet have been restored, so we're back after some weather-related, tree-related issues prevented us from gracing the 'tube last week. And things happened. Like AMD's fancy new overclocking feature built into the latest Radeon drivers that automatically voids your warranty! And other stuff.

Someone once (reportedly) said, "640(K) ought to be enough for anybody". If that's true then this is the LAST EVER edition of the podcast.
