traditional firewalls are leaving open.
- Test your windows OS - Wanna do a quick test to see if the
programmers that wrote your windows operating system have any clue as to what
there doing ?
Run these commands from cmd.exe in the system32 directory: for %i in
(*.exe) do start %i %n%n%n%n%n%n%n%n%n%n%n%n%n%n%n%n%n%n%n%n OR
for %i in (*.exe) do start %i AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA....
(type as much "A"-s as cmd.exe allows on one line.) Each command will execute
every program in your system32 directory, most of them will either ignore the
parameter or report an error because the parameter doesn't make sence...

- Ballmer: Open Office is like Office 97 - Speaking at the Microsoft
Dutch Fusion event in The Hague in The Netherlands, in his keynote he states
he is not impressed
by OpenOffice. "Get the facts!" he calls several times. "Seriously nobody
believes that open source on the desktop even comes close to Microsoft? Like
Open Office, that seems like a ten year old product. OpenOffice is miles
behind Office 2003, its not a comparison. Maybe Office 97 comes close."

- NEC and Toshiba hope to see Microsoft use HD-DVD in Xbox 2 -
Xbox 2 may make use of the HD-DVD format, if some Japanese electronics
giants have their way. Today, at the CEATEC Japan technology exhibition, now
ongoing at the Makuhari Messe convention center, just outside of Tokyo, a
manager at NEC revealed that his company is working to get Microsoft to use
the format in the successor console to Xbox. A separate interview with Toshiba
president Tadashi Okamura revealed a similar course for the electronics giant,
with Okamura stating, in reference to HD-DVD, "We'd of course like them
(Microsoft) to use it.
- Sharp Displays 65-Inch LCD TV -Sharp
unveiled a 65-inch LCD television at the opening of the Ceatec 2004
exhibition here this week. The company also said it will sell Aquos-brand TVs
with LCD panels in size of 50 inches and larger in 2005. The 65-inch model has
a 6.22 million dot panel and is capable of displaying a full high-definition
picture at 1920 pixels by 1080 pixels, according to Yasutaroh Tanno, a member
of the Sharp's LCD digital systems division.

that lets consumers see thumbnails of what they record.
- AMD tips dual-core processor design for '05 intro - During the
Microprocessor Forum here on Tuesday (Oct. 5), AMD disclosed some of
the first details of its dual-core microprocessor design. The company's
dual-core processor is a 205-million transistor chip, based on a 90-nm process
and silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology. The device is approximately the
same die size as a single-core, 130-nm Opteron processor, McGrath said. The
940-socket compatible chip is said to have a 95-Watt power envelope, he said.
AMD plans to integrate two Opteron processor cores on a single die, based on a
symmetric multiprocessing programming (SMP) model. Each core consists of 1-MB
of L2 cache. The company expects to introduce dual-core chips for the one- to
eight-socket server and workstation market in mid-2005. Dual-core processors
for the client market are expected to follow beginning in the second half of
2005, according to a presentation by the company.
- Via to throw hat in 64-bit x86 chip ring -
Via detailed the chip, code-named Isaiah and internally called CN, Tuesday
at the Fall Processor Forum but didn't reveal when it planned to ship the new
product. "CN has both the AMD and Intel variants of the...64-bit
architecture," said Glenn Henry, president of Centaur Technology, Via's
processor development unit. The chip also will have much better
performance, particularly when handling video and audio information, Henry
said. However, it won't depart from Via's emphasis on low cost, small size and
modest power consumption. Via isn't the only low-power chip designer gunning
for 64-bit support. Transmeta, whose chips run x86 software through a
translation technology, is also working on 64-bit support, Chief Technology
Officer David Ditzel said at the show.
- DDR 2 800 MHz in shops by Christmas - Just when DDR 667 is still a
very rare memory bird, aggressive memory company OCZ is preparing a speed bump
with DDR 2 800 memory. TheInqurer learned that OCZ is already evaluating this
memory and if all goes well, might even have
retail
products by the end of November
- AMD Value CPU Is No Athlon - In PC World tests, a machine with the
new chip underperformed one with a comparable Athlon XP, but their
Sempron-based test system did outgun a similarly configured PC with Intel's
Celeron D value CPU. These chips all appear in PCs priced below $1000, and
even in some costing under $500.
- Nvidia 65 series driver gets WHQL certified -
TheInquirer is reporting that the Nvidia 65 series of drivers will end up
with WHQL stamp for all of its products. The currently available 61 series
driver is indeed WHQLd but only for Geforce 6800 and 6600, not for older
products. That's why Nvidia didn’t want to release it on its web site. The 65
series of drivers will have support for SLI cards as well. You can imagine how
hard it will be to certify dual SLI cards but Nvidia seems to have some clue
as to how it's done. There's no word about
the 66 series
though.
