Microsoft has a new secure content downloader, which sounds awfully familiar, thanks Nick. It's described as a 'peer-assisted technology' where '[e]ach client downloads content by exchanging parts of the file they're interested in with other clients, in addition to downloading parts from the server.'
Apparently Second Life is full of terrorists, according to The Australian. Kevin Zuccato, head of the Australian High Tech Crime Centre in Canberra, says terrorists can gain training in games such as World of Warcraft in a simulated environment, using weapons that are identical to real-world armaments. Say what now? Discussion here.
KernelTrap have an interesting article about Linux's humble beginnings. I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones. This has been brewing since april, and is starting to get ready.

Tweaktown compared some high-end DDR2 kits. We have five different memory kits for your viewing pleasure, all of them designed to run at speeds beyond DDR2 800MHz for the Athlon 64 X2s and also Intel’s P965 and P35 chipsets which have memory support for 800MHz and beyond.
