I4U reports that when 5.1 audio on your computer isn’t enough, go 7.1:

Japans M-Audio announces availability of its Resolution 7.1 sporting a 192kHz/24bit DAC.

The Revelution 7.1 features 7.1 DVD digital output. It uses the new Envy24HT audio controller.
The Card supports Dolby AC-3, Dolby DTS, Dolby Pro-Logic and Dolby EX, SRS TruSurround and SRS Circle Surround II.

Additionally it supports the following software systems. DirectSound3D, A3D1.0, and EAX1.0/2.0.
The Card supports Mac OS X and Windows XP with Windows Media Player 9.

The anticipated price, 16,625 Yen, is about $140USD or about $130 Euros.  Not too shabby.

This is a cool project that I stumbled upon at freshmeat today:

Darwin’s Tic Tac Toe uses simple evolutionary techniques to evolve a set of randomly-connected Neural Networks, with random weights, to play Tic Tac Toe (Norts and Crosses). To speed up the process, it has been written in a client-server architecture. Clients can connect to the server and grab a small batch of neural networks, do some processing, and send the results back to the server.

Wow.  Via Sam Ruby, Sharpreader looks like it has potential.

If falls under the YA3PA (Yet Another 3 Paned Aggregator) category, but I like the threaded comment feel to it.  Screenshots that contain my name (this one is on a comment) are also a bonus.

Warning:

We picked up a kitten today.

You have been warned.
