Dmitry Skylarov, arrested in the US for making a program to bypass software copy protection, has been set free at last.
Scriion might have some bad news for people excited about the AMD 760MPX chipset - the upcoming SMP SocketA chipset everyone's looking forward to. According to this thread on StorageReview, motherboards using the chipset are required to detect if AthlonMP or AthlonXP chips are being used and only work with the MP units, even though XP's seem to work fine in SMP. Sounds like something that could be sorted with a modified BIOS, tho.. fair bit more info in that thread.
There's an interview between Bill Gates and a 15yo girl here BBC News. She's not afraid to ask some tough questions but he seems to have all the answers.
A few people pointed out this gaping security hole in Internet Explorer. Methinks you want to download/install that patch..
There's a new WinZip out, for your compressing and decompressing pleasure.
David found some little fridges for sale in Oz, just the right size for a watercooling reservoir, apparently. Also in the forums, Dave (different person) built a serial-port IR transceiver recently.
There's been some warez busts in Sydney recently, info here from Tizeyboy and here from YYK.
Garry sent word of a new demo of Serious Sam: The Second Encounter, which is either a sequel or an add-on for Serious Sam, I'm not sure. If you've been waiting for it then you probably know what it is and will want to download it from one of these mirrors: AusGamers, Gigex or 3DGamers.
Spankyofoz spotted this article on /., about tiny piezoelectric fans. He quotes: The concentrated circuits in a semiconductor computer chip can generate more heat per square centimeter of chip area than an area of equal size on the sun's surface.. which is kinda mind-boggling if true.
Qaz spotted something interesting over on Harvey Norman's website.. note the CPU in the 2nd laptop from the top on this page. 1GHz Athlon 4, not a bad bit of mobile power..
