The highly anticipated Doom 3 comes out Tuesday and Hard OCP created a Doom 3 Hardware Guide to see if your computer is up to the challenge of running the game. Lots of image quality comparison screenshots, ATI vs. Nvidia, etc. My computer barely meets the minimum specs, so it looks like I can play at 640 x 480 with all the eye candy turned on. Not bad. Now let\’s see what the Half-Life 2 specs are like…

Army Rations Rehydrated by Urine
Food scientists working for the US military have developed a dried food ration that troops can hydrate by adding the filthiest of muddy swamp water or even peeing on it.
The ration comes in a pouch containing a filter that removes 99.9 per cent of bacteria and most toxic chemicals from the water used to rehydrate it…
I bet it sucked to be a QA tester at the beginning of the project when the filter didn\’t work so good yet, eh?
