Bah! I should be a news poster too! I visit 3-4 particular websites every day that would be of interest to Free-DC.

www.news.com
www.wired.com
www.distributedcomputing.info
www.newscientist.com

Maybe PY222 could use those for some good stories.

CM,

whilst they may be of interest and feel free to post links to stories in the News section, the frontpage should primarily be for DC related items I think.

PY, I PM'd you your userid/pw which Dyy set up.

Thanks guys.

I would like to thank all your Admin for providing me with more power. This is just a small step in my quest to conquer the entire DC World and name myself Supreme DC Leader of the World. MUuahahahahaha.

Now, we return to our regular broadcasting.... :crazy:

DistributedComputing.info is a site that's updated weekly with DC news. I wouldn't post non-DC related news from those other sites.

They have cool news about new advancements with computers and/or hardware releases/capabilities. Isn't that important to DCing? :)

That Dual Core story should've been on the front page. :)

I would think that the frontpage news should be about the Team's milestones/achievements so that everyone on the Team knows how we are doing on a certain project without having to go to the project forum.

Also, world events that are associated with DC in particular or DC related articles should be mentioned.

As for hardware, I guess the dual-core would be something interesting for us DCers but definitely not all kind of hardware related news.

I guess what I am trying to say is that all of us will just have to use our judgement.

Correct! :thumbs:

All valid.
