Just read Linus torvald's interview on eWeek.com Here is a snip:-
"eWEEK: For its part though, SCO has said that there are so many lines of code, and a variety of applications and devices that use that code, that simply removing the offending code would not be technically feasible or possible and would not solve the problem. Do you agree?"
"Torvalds: They are smoking crack."

Pcadviser reports Microsoft.com suffered DDoS attack. But the blaster worm isnt to blame A Microsoft spokeswoman said "the Microsoft.com site experienced a DoS attack at 8:45pm PDT on Thursday [4:45am Friday UK time], but that it was not due to the Blaster worm, nor caused by the major power outages that have affected the US east coast."

I recently noticed that the Mircrosoft Updatesite at WindowsUpdate.Com had some problems today.
I tried to reach the site serveral times a day to download a driver and most of the time the site does not load or is very slow.
It looks like that the site is affected by the W32.Blaster Worm or that thousands of people try to download the patch.
Several differned TV and Radio Stations have begun to warn the people about the Worm that may cause heavy access the Mircosoft Update site.

Also Mircrosoft has released a tool that can be used to scan networks to identify host computers that do not have the 823980 Security Patch (MS03-026) installed. Download the tool.

Apparently there are rumours running around web but not confirmed by Google itself that "Google might be running out of space". The article states: "A rumour is spreading like the plague over the infinite paths of the Internet: Google has reached overbooking. The most popular creature in the virtual universe has space problems, or, more precisely, it could have them in the future. In fact, is seems that the most popular search engine in the world is about to reach the limit of its capacity of listed pages: 4,294,967,296. A numeric problem that is mainly due to a calculation error." ... contd.

Thanks to G`Rilla at 3DChipset.com for the info and the links.

This is really funny and something to kick off the weekend with. Check this out. A forum user who goes by Alpha has a story board of the movie Matrix with a twist. You have got to read this thing. It's too funny! Next up is: 'When we thought we seen it all'. The PR department of VisionTek drops word of their new flash animation on their front page. I wonder who is under the paper bag? Probably Derek Perez! LOL and finally we have 'Cheating Drivers Hidden Dragon'. This one comes from the folks over Darkcrow.co.kr this one is pretty unique as well. Thought you guys who enjoy some good humor (yeah I know it's at the hands of Nvidia) would appreciate it.

CNet reports here that "Electronic Arts, the nation's largest maker of video games, says it is caught in the crossfire between the German and United States governments over the Iraq war. This month, the German government listed a new game produced by Electronic Arts on an index of games the government considers violent. Such games may not be advertised or displayed on shelves in Germany, although they may be kept under store counters and sold to adults. The reason according to Elke Monssen-Engberding, director of the Ministry for Family Affairs: 'It portrays war as the only way to resolve conflicts." This is a sad news... ;(

Spotted this post in Futuremark's forum posted by seizetheday4eva:

Sh** I just got of the phone to a contact that I have at PNY and he told me that Nvidia are releasing a 256mb Geforce 5800 FX Pro which will be even faster then the Geforce FX Ultra because it obviously has double the memory.

Here's an article @ Womencentral.msn.com that should have you running to renew your gym membership.

Who knew stripping could be so sweat inducing - for the person taking it all off? Members of the Crunch gym chain in Los Angeles, New York and Miami have been hustling to get into the chain's hottest new class, Cardio-Striptease, a low-impact aerobic workout choreographed with actual strip-club moves. (Gold's Gym in Venice, California is planning to introduce a class called The Art of Exotic Dancing.) In addition to providing an excuse to wear boas and hobnob with real-life pole dancers, these classes provide a great workout.

As we approach the two year mark of being online, we now have a pretty good feel for what happens behind the scenes... Specifically, we have a few things we'd like to get off our chest.

Sony Ericsson's P800 smartphone is to be the first handset to run Opera's Symbian OS mobile browser. The browser will be available for free download for the P800,from Monday.

Wow, I never thought I'd ever post this: Sun Microsystems have been dumped for Intel by Pixar, the animation studio responsible for greats such as Toy Story and Monsters Inc. Read the full story here.

NordicHardware has had the chance to ask Futuremark a couple of questions about their upcoming benchmark 3DMark03. [NH]: There has been some complaints that the CPU, RAM and MOBO influenced the scores too much, is this any different in the 03 version?
[FM]: As we have focused even more heavily on the Shaders in 3DMark®03, the graphics card is more of a bottleneck than it was in 2000 and 2001. 3DMark®03 comes with a separate CPU test for more in-depth CPU benchmarking. Read all about it here: www.nordichardware.se

Thanks to David G for sending this my way! .... :D

Episode One: What was really discussed at that meeting ;-)

Tony: 'I'm worried George' 'the people back home just aren't swallowing it' 'they won't believe us about Iraq'....

George: 'Just stay with it Tone' 'everything's gonna work out just fine'

The Futuremark website now how a countdown to the release of 3DMark03. The website also has a few minimum specs: Minimum Graphics Card Requirement:
DirectX®9.0 compatible graphics adapter that has 32MB of memory and is fully DirectX®7.0 compliant.

Minimum CPU Recommendation:
1000MHz x86 compatible processor (PCMark2002 CPU score of over 2500)

Ok, as many people seem to think W2S is stupid enough to believe this is a true photograph and not a manipulated picture such as this guy we are not. Maybe you just can't read between the lines and decipher subtle humor. Anyway leave us alone as we do with your site. Degger*: At least someone beside Rancho noticed that this is a joke! For gods sake...

Saw this on Neowin: "A group called 'Holics Project' have cracked Plus! Digital Media Edition's WPA (Windows Product Activation).
The "crack" works as long as you don't have DME installed and any previous Plus! packs installed. The crack itself consists of just a registry file which is run before "Activation"." I can imagine some programmer @ Microsoft saying Oops.
