The charges against a QLD man for posting a baby-swinging video have been dropped, in a triumph of common sense. "This prosecution was discontinued ... after the matter was reviewed by the CDPP in accordance with the prosecution policy of the Commonwealth taking into account all the circumstances involved including the classification given to the material by the Classification Board," she said.
Kevin Rudd's website has apparently been attacked and taken down (although not "hacked" as described in the article). The hacker calls for Senator Conroy to resign and also posted a link which is purported to be a list of websites on the banned content list.
A couple of people sent in a security advisory about Vista and Windows 7 related to blue screens and SMB, but apparently there's no issue, or at least, it hasn't been confirmed yet. Microsoft is investigating new public reports of a possible vulnerability in Microsoft Server Message Block (SMB) implementation. We are not aware of attacks that try to use the reported vulnerabilities or of customer impact at this time.
Here's a cool project to make a Big Daddy suit (from Bioshock). This build and the execution of wearing it was more of a group effort than anything I have ever tackled before. While I did the construction of the prop myself, I did have a number of people assisting me in handling the costume during the convention itself. Emily, Mandy and I won "Best Journeyman" as well as "Best Professional Design" at Dragon*Con for this suit as well as for their costumes.
Fancy a career as a blog spammer? An Australian digital agency is advertising for someone to take on a "supplied persona" and surreptitiously promote clients on blogs and chatrooms. I look forward to deleting your forum posts. :)
ArsTechnica claim to have some training materials from Microsoft that directly tackle Linux. While there are correct assertions in the slides, the majority of the statements are inaccurate, or are only accurate in the specific way they are worded.
PureOC have an overclocking value comparison. After carefully considering some of the comments, we decided to expand our examination and follow up with another Intel vs AMD article, one that instead focused on CPU performance and overclocking. Today we bring you that article, once again tackling another topic that sets off the passion: does AMD or Intel provide better overclocking value?"
MaximumPC have a guide to making a MAME arcade cabinet with your old PC bits. When you think about an arcade machine, what comes to mind? For most people, it’s the cabinet. From the classic standup cabinets like Centipede, with its loud sideart, to the behemoth six-player, two-screen X-Men machines, to the sit-down cocktail Galaga cabinets, every games was its own distinct experience. They were more than just video games, they were furniture.
