Modern Warfare 2 – I’ll Buy This One
Nov 10th
I don’t buy many video games. The last one I purchased was Batman Arkham Asylum. Before that Rainbow 6 Vegas 2. Today I will purchase Modern Warfare 2. I like multiplayer games. I like to beat other real people. This game is way hyped, and good come through with its promises.
The widely-anticipated video game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has been tipped to be the biggest selling video game in history.[Source]
I’ll probably get this game on my lunch break, and if not after work. I will see you all online 
Heres a trailer of the game in action. GO ahead check out the goodness.
CIT Enters Organized Bankrupsy – Chapter 11
Nov 3rd
The Chapter 11 filing is one of the biggest in U.S. corporate history, following Lehman Brothers, Washington Mutual, WorldCom and General Motors. CIT’s bankruptcy filing shows $71 billion in finance and leasing assets against total debt of $64.9 billion.[Source]
The topic is so startling I opened the post with a quote. One of the largest bankrupsies in history just occured, and it wasn’t a bank that lends to corporations and government. CIT is a bank that lends to small and medium sized business, contributing to the growth of the backbone of the country. Without small to medium sized business this nation would be a fascist corporatocracy.
“CIT is the 600-pound gorilla in the industry,”[Source]
The US has bailed AIG and the entire American car industry, they let Lehman Brothers fall, and now CIT. There choices of who to bailout are quite questionable. While AIG may have had more assets, the fact that CIT lent to the backbone of America, and was allowed to fail lead to a question of rationality used in determining who should be bailed out. Ultimately the US chose to bailout corporate lenders, rather that small scale lenders.
AMD k10 Modules – Temp Sensor
Jun 20th
They say the AMD k10 support will be rolled into the k8 modules. Whatever they do in new, upcoming package is independent of chipset support now. After some painful seaching to get the source code for the k10 chipset I found this blog post http://blog.morrigan.ch/?p=9. It is not an easy to find post but it does walk you through the compilation and installation of the modules. I will repost it here because my blog is very easy to find on the internet due to great Google indexing. First download the make file: Makefile Download the source: k10temp Make sure you have build-essential installed:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
Run:
make -C /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build M=$(pwd)
Copy to the appropriate system folder;
cp k10temp.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/hwmon
Load the module:
sudo depmod && sudo modprobe k10temp
Reboot. Install gnome-sensors and you can view the temperature of your system as a convenient applet in your top panel!
