A couple of news pieces from Kernal32. I really like these story's of spammers getting shut down when they find that their personal details have been released. They receive no sympathy from me. Here is another one. Also, more on DNA computing at New Scientist.
After last weeks Blaster worm, we now have another one to look out for. "W32.Welchia.Worm is a worm that exploits the DCOM RPC vulnerability (described in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-026) using TCP port 135. The worm attempts to download the DCOM RPC patch from Microsoft's Windows Update Web site, install it, and then reboot the computer". While this looks like a good worm, it then opens TCP port 707 and listens. Not such a good thing! More info here.
Amdmb.com have posted their coverage of Quakecon 2003, the largest LAN in the US. "Nearly every system that AMD was running at the show was being powered by an Athlon64 processor and NVIDIA chipset motherboard. AMD’s shining achievement was to secure the rights to power the tournament machines – each tourney at Quakecon was run on the Athlon64 platform and served on Opteron machines". Nice. More here.
TechConnect have put together some soundcard software mods.
Roland Piquepaille has some info on a new robot being used by the NSW Police Force in the role of bomb disposal. It can do other cool stuff as well. Looks nasty!
Machines are getting smarter by the day. Take a look at these cognitive computers.
DiZyPhEr (!) noticed this watercooled video card from Gainward and says that we should Check dis out!
Need to keep track of all those Microsoft security patches, configs and settings. Checkout the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyser. Maybe its just their equivalent of NMAP.
Mitch01 has posted a write-up on the OCAU/RedlineGTi Sydney Dyno Day that was held recently. My review of the Sydney Dyno Day including full results from all cars, and links to all pictures that are available is online. Find it here.
OHLS continue their webmaster interview series. They chat with Hubert Wong from Viper Lair.
pete_pumpkin found this article about the worlds 3rd fastest computer which is being built, a supercomputer melding 2,816 AMD Opteron processors. Read more here.
Someone over at Ars-Technica has a sense of humour. If you've ever received one of the nigerian scam emails, you will like this. Although the heads at SCO might not.
