  • Symantec Details Net Threats - Symantec's semi-annual Internet Security Threat report, released this week, paints a picture of an increasingly threatening Internet. But unlike previous reports, there seems to be little in the way of good news. In the first half of the year, one in six companies reported a serious security breach, a number that increased to one in two in the second half. August, which will go down in history in malware folklore, had a nasty 12-day period when Blaster, Welchia, and SoBig.F infected millions of machines worldwide and caused billions of dollars in damage. The second half of the year also saw a prodigious increase in the number of Win32 viruses and worms--1702 released in the second half versus 687 in the first.
  • Manually crash Windows-XP - Windows-XP has a "feature" (???) with which it is possible to manually crash a system by simply holding the right CTRL key and pressing the "Scroll Lock" key twice. This feature can be turned on by the following steps: 1. Start regedit. (If you are unfamiliar with regedit, please refer to this FAQ) 2. Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesi8042prtParameters 3. Create a new DWORD value and name it CrashOnCtrlScroll 4. Right-click on this newly created value and click on Modify 5. Enter 1 in the Value data field and click on OK. 6. Close regedit and reboot your system. 7. Now you can blue screen (crash) your system by holding the right CTRL key and pressing "Scroll Lock" twice.
  • Off-topic: Plan to melt through Europa's ice - Space scientists want to send a craft to the Jovian moon because its ocean might, in theory, harbour life. Once through the 10-30km ice sheet, the probe could take a sample of water, to analyse it for microbial life. But significant engineering challenges remain before the German Aerospace Centre lander could be sent to Europa.
  • Robotics to Drive "Third Wave" of Chip Innovation - Tsugio Makimoto, corporate adviser to Sony, said ASICs and flash memory - not general-purpose microprocessors and DRAM - will be the differentiating products of the third wave of innovation, which will replace personal computers. Makimoto, famous for the so-called "Makimoto Wave" of customization and standardization, spoke before an audience of top chip executives at the Semico Summit here.
  • Mainstream Games on the Linux Desktop - LinuxWorld Magazine has held a Gaming Round Table involving Chris DiBona, Ryan Gordon, Timothee Besset, Gavriel State, and Joe Valenzuela about where Linux currently stands and how it will one day become a premier gaming platform. (thanks Slashdot.org)
  • Russian Itanium slayer samples first 130nm processor - Elbrus, the would-be Itanium slayer, has begun sampling its 64-bit processor, the Russian company has announced. At the time, Elbrus was seeking $40m worth of funding to back the development of the chip, dubbed the E2K. It was to be fabbed at 180nm and clock at 1.2GHz. It was to offer both IA-32 and IA-64 compatibility.Elbrus' latest statement centres on a different chip, the MCST R-500, which the company suggests is the first Russian-made 130nm microprocessor, and who are we to argue? The R-500 is Sparc-compatible and is clocked at 450-500MHz. It consumes less than 1W of power, Elbrus said. It began punching out samples in late February, and the company has already run Solaris and Linux successfully on machines based on the processor
  • NV40 is a 16 pipelines part - Nvidia is telling "selected people" that NV40 is indeed 210 millions of transistor chip with 16 pipelines. The other side of this NV40 coin is that the real Mc Coy the real NV40 card that was taped out quite some time ago is actually going to be KIA [Killed in action]. Very knowledgeable friends told us recently in the Vienna Opera house that NV40 with 16 pipes and 210 millions of transistor is completely other chip then original NV40. What actually happened is that Nvidia recently learned about R420 marchitecture and this entire 12x1 story and, that they will eventually end up in second place and decided to can NV40 project and to go immediately with NV45.
  • Netgear MP101 wireless MP3 WMA player powered by ARM - Netgear has released a new wireless MP3 and WMA remote controlled player, that will stream music from any networked PC in your home, to your stereo system.

  • Toshiba Updates Multimedia Notebooks - The new Satellite P25-S670 comes with Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition operating system, and a 17-inch widescreen display.

  • Dual Channel DDR Pentium 4 Chipsets (Intel, VIA, SiS and ATI) ­ Six under the Microscope - Read on as TweakTown discover the best Pentium 4 chipset to spend your hard earned dollars on.
  • nForce 3 250 review - With NVIDIA giving the 250-series chips a feature upgrade, a 'fixed' HyperTransport implementation, some new disk based ability with the changed ATA and SATA controller, 1000Mbit/sec Ethernet capability to let marketroids tick a box, along with an all round spit and polish, nForce3 250 is rather good. The hardware firewall for example is a fine chipset level feature upgrade, scoring NVIDIA good brownie points.
  • Xgi Volari V8 Ultra Duo review -  The Volari gives an excellent range of features but due to the drives being so new the optimization and design isn’t the best at the moment. At the moment XGI is able to keep up with both the Radeon 9800 XT and GeForce FX 5950 in some tests and considering how long the cards have been out for, some of the scores achieved by the XGI battler are quite respectable.
  • Windows Server 2003 R2 FAQ - First revealed here on the SuperSite for Windows, R2 will include all of the free out-of-band updates Microsoft shipped for Windows Server 2003 since April 2003, including the Group Policy Management Console and Windows SharePoint Services.

few things: symantec sucks. All bloatware and then try uninstalling it, suprise surprise it can't even uninstall itself fully. JUNK. next, crash Windows on demand, what the hell is that about??? who the F cares about crashing it? and who is the lamer that would even go to such depth to give total info on how to do it? oh gee, what fun, lets crash my own computer!!! yaa!!! linux as a gaming platform? ya right...whatever.. and these download accelerators are near useless now, nearly any site now blocks them, use alternating/dynamic addressing for mirrors etc.. rare to use one of these program anymore and have it work. and this Nvidia thing, all based on hearsay, a 'reliable' source he says.. ya whatever...lots will say ATI is in the lead right now, its BS and marketing, thats what they're leading in. marketing from biased websites that do questionable reviews and post only 'selected' reviews..and i read this story on inquirer, the guy can't even bloody type in english..i'm glad nvidia told this guy to F off, it's people like this that gave ati the publicity they didn't deserve and look where that got us, bunch of moron ati owners who think ati is god and overlook the obviousness of nvidia works with everything and is JUST AS FAST if NOT FASTER. ati doesn't do much but breed morons, and let me tell you, nvidia don't give a shit about ati and their development plans don't change because of ati. this is all ASSUMPTIONS made by people. nvidia is working on a card that you will be able to keep in your pc for a long time as they have always done. sorry i said my ati vs nvidia was over, but i read that before coming here already and it ticked me off. (very knowledgable friends, NO, give us name.. very knowledgable friends means shit to me). and to boot, it helps when you have a friend who works for nvidia. i wrote the author of the post, he wouldn't give me the names of people he was in touch with, so i take that whole article as BS. So far from everything i know about nvidia, nobody is right.. you just have to wait a few months more.

Foolioposted - Mar, 18 2004 - 08:21
XXX is just jaded that ATI is owning nvidia.

Bill Gatesposted - Mar, 18 2004 - 14:18
Don't need to press "scroll lock" to crash a computer - Windows already has the "start" button to do that. =D

FX5900posted - Mar, 18 2004 - 14:21
Let's bitch over different video cards for a change... MATROX vs XGI... XGI sux coz i say so, and matrox ownz because i say so. And all you XGI fanboys are just cut because i say so. =D

El_Coyoteposted - Mar, 18 2004 - 17:13
heh xxxx souds like all the other nvidiots in denial out there.. nothing new.

Robposted - Mar, 18 2004 - 17:28
heh I never get why you all fight about Nvidia and ATI. Some people like Nvidia, and some like ATI. Its great to have some pride in your card, but this is looking to be overkill. :\
