We knew he'd been nominated, but it turns out Senator Stephen Conroy has actually won the Internet Villain Award as handed out by the UK Internet Industry. Nice work, Senator! Stephen Conroy and the Australian Government - "For continuing to promote network-level blocking despite significant national and international opposition"

Jason pointed out that NASA are re-enacting Apollo 11 on a new website, We Choose The Moon. I seem to be having some Flash issues here, but hopefully I'll be able to check it out soon.

iXBT have posted part one of their guide to choosing a processor. In this article we are going to answer one simple and at the same time very difficult question: how to choose a CPU? We decided to collect the mandatory basic information you must know to make an educated choice, and teach you how to choose.

AMD have released three new six-core Opteron HE processors. The 55W ACP Six-Core AMD Opteron HE processors are currently shipping for 2-, 4- and 8-P systems and available today in new systems from HP, addressing the needs of dynamic, performance hungry and power constrained data centers. Systems from additional OEMs are expected to come to market throughout Q309.

LegionHW have an AM3 memory performance guide. It is fair to say that just about anything goes, as we found timings and even frequency had little impact on performance, at least within reason.

Stephen Fry, one of my favourite celebrities, has admitted he's a pirate. But it came good in the end. In a speech about copyright and the future of music introduced by Stuff’s editor-in-chief Tom Dunmore, Fry poured scorn on the music industry for attacking the public in file-sharing cases. "Making an example of ordinary people is the stupidest thing the record industry can do," he said.
