SCO continue their campaign to make everyone admire and respect them, by declaring that the GPL is illegal.

Boky spotted an interesting story about the recent solar storm phenomenon. Very cool picture of the Sun, too. Apparently there was another big CME a few days after the one everyone was talking about, which didn't affect much in the southern hemisphere either.

FlingingSquids reckon that Diamond Multimedia will be back in the video card game again soon, after a long absence. Back in the VLB days their Viper product was pretty much the card to have, and their AGP TNT2U Viper V770U was a popular choice too. It'll be interesting to see what they can do with modern chipsets.

New high-end P4's will have a slightly different CPU package from now on, according to DVHardware.

Xbit have a 3-way roundup of 15k-rpm SCSI hard drives.

NordicHardware reckon the graphics card industry is confusing at the moment, and want to straighten things out.

SilentPC have a noise primer for people wanting to make a quiet PC, as well as details on a quiet PC project from one of their readers.

More letters to/from Dan.

PCStats looked at an ultimate gaming PC from a Canadian vendor. Intel motherboard, hmm.

Sick of getting Nigerian Scam emails in your mailbox? You might get a few less from now on (but I doubt it), because a Sydney man has been arrested and charged with scamming people, thanks Robin. More info here, thanks Kernal32. OneArmedMan spotted this page, with some strong language, that targets these scammers in a different way entirely.

Interesting Forum Threads:
So you think your CPU is stable? Let's test... in AMD Hardware.
Extreme fannage mounting problems in Extreme Cooling.
Eeek, a mouse (820k of pics) in Modding & Electronics.
Your method of steering? in Motoring.
ATTN Sydney Motorists: 50km/h limits now in force in Motoring.
