If you dual-boot Windows and Linux and are sick of not being able to access data from your Linux partitions in Windows, then Ext2 IFS for Windows is what you've been waiting for. It's a driver that lets Windows natively mount Linux Ext2 and Ext3 filesystems just as if they were FAT32 or NTFS volumes.
I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.
In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.
To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.
Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.

I've been interested in finding something like this for awhile. I dual boot my laptop and its a pain when I want to watch a movie or something else stored on my linux partition. I hate having to restart, boot linux, copy file to thumb drive, and then back into windows.
Any one get the cvs camera hack working yet? I built a cable out of an xbox controller plug and some other materials and got it working last night.

I had been using explore2fs to painstakingly browse my linux partitions before this.
The functionality built-in by this little guy easily makes this one of the best... downloads... ever.
