I need something for a number of projects my software group is working on (about 10 people).
So far I've been suggested: Bugzilla, Mantis, and Trac, and I've only ever seen Bugzilla in use from FireFox.
What do you use? Any suggestions?

This wouldn't be interesting in the least if it weren't for the fact that it is showing on Cartoon Network.
Are they that hard up for content? This is right up there on the unusual scale with the time I saw Top Gun on BET Movies.

Someone released a "fix" for Halo 2 which allows you to run it on Windows XP.
This is all legal as far as I can tell, because it doesn't bypass the activation or anything if you have a pirated copy.
The performance difference is fucking incredible.
I can now play the game at 1680x1050 on High at 30-50 FPS, compared to 15 FPS at 1024x768 on Low on Vista.

I've sort of finished the picking section for the college pick 'em game. It's certainly still under development, but I thought I'd give a sneak peak and ask for some feedback.

Let me know what you guys think. Is there anything that should be added or done differently?
Known Issues:
* Some of the Division II teams don't have images.
* Inter-Conference games show up in both conferences but your picks will only be displayed in one conference. (You might click on a team and it won't look like it did anything, but if you go to another conference it's selected)

I just checked out A ghost is Born, and I like it, a lot. Recommend me some of their best albums! Preferably the harder rockish albums. Sky Blue Sky is too soft for me...
Thanks to whoever mentioned this band :)

I've changed my server. It is now "Shacknews ShortBus" featuring short tracks (<30 seconds) and a rounds format (everyone starts at the same time, you get points by winning placing, first to 50 points wins and tracks changes, restarting requires everyone finishing / pressing restart)
I have trleased a demo of a new track I'm working on: Down and Dirty
http://troz.shackspace.com/tmunited/Down%20and%20Dirty%20b4.Challenge.Gbx
[sIt is a dirt Stadium track that is about 2 minute long. It is a technical track with lots of turns and a few jumps. There are 2 tricky points about half way through, so be careful.
Here is a preview: http://troz.shackspace.com/tmunited/Video02.avi Sorry about the sound, it is bad, and cuts out just before the end.]s

I am going to be doing some driving this weekend and am looking forward to listening to some good podcasts. I have been listening to the last few eps of Played, which are really good, and I was wondering if I could have some other recommendations.
