A zillion people sent in news that the Half-Life 2 source code has been stolen! More info on shacknews, VE3D, slashdot and SMH.com.au. Most critical is this explanation about the hacking/leak and possibly-related DOS attacks from a Valve spokesperson.
It seems some "Thorton"-cored AMD CPUs (that is, Barton core with Thoroughbred-like 256KB L2 cache instead of the normal 512KB) can have that "missing" L2 cache enabled, thanks Mystificator. Info here on Xbit and here on OC.RU.
For a different look at the ATI vs NVIDIA battle for desktop graphics supremacy, consider some recent projections from financial giant Merrill Lynch.
If you're going to be using an Athlon 64 FX as reviewed by us here, you're going to need some Registered ECC DDR400 to get the most out of it. LostCircuits checked some out for you.
ICANN have given VeriSign 36 hours to stop their SiteFinder service.
Think you're safe to illegally share music here in Australia, far from the RIAA and other much-publicised American goings-on? Guess again - you can get nicked for it here too, thanks Dink.
Dink also notes that Ziggy got a payrise, meaning he now pulls in a smidge under $2.5M a year. Keep that in mind when you pay your monthly bandwidth over-usage bill. :)
