I`ve found some interesting new nVIDIA ForceWare drivers on the net. Most important changes are full support for OpenGL 3.0. The setup also features the nVIDIA PhysX System driver 8.11.18 .
Beware, this is a leaked non-WHQL version! Use at your own risk!

Linus Torvalds has released kernel version 2.6.28. Most important changes is that the filesystem ext4 is declared stable. Linux 2.6.28 is expanded with with Wireless USB support. Virtualization also got improved with improvements to its Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM).
One of the shortcomings of ext3 had been that it uses a system in which every 4k of data has a piece of metadata pointing to where that data is on the drive. Ext4 replaces the 4k system with “extents,” which simply allocates data from a given starting position. The use of ext4 will allow for bigger filesystems and file sizes while providing performance improvements to filesystem operations.
While ext4 represents the next stage from ext3, Linux developers are also at work on another filesystem, BTRFS, which may deliver even further improvements in 2009. This filesystem is made for SSD`s which don`t need to relocate blocks because of the reading mechanism. This will cause a major speedup for SSD based drives.

Expect all major linux distro`s to update their kernels to the latest version in a couple of days.

Most World of Warcraft players say they don`t need books because they know the whole game. Those people should be ashamed because most of them look up tactics on the internet.
The other way is to buy a few very good books and read them in your spare time (like when WoW is down, or you have square eyes)
The books I recommend;
World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King Official Strategy Guide (Bradygames Official Stragey Guide)
World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade Official Strategy Guide (World of Warcraft)
World of Warcraft Master Guide, Second Edition
World of Warcraft Dungeon Companion
World of WarCraft Dungeon Companion, Volume 2 (Official Strategy Guides (Bradygames))
World of Warcraft Atlas, Second Edition
World of Warcraft Atlas: The Burning Crusade (Brady Games – World of Warcraft)
