- Blood crazed zombies on the loose - Blood and zombies will be
the focus of the next big screen adaptation of a video game. Resident Evil the movie
launches in the US today, and the film's heroine may have to battle more than a horde of
blood crazed zombies - the big test is whether the film can beat last summer's
blockbuster, Tomb Raider, at the box office.
- Recordable-DVD buyers cry foul - Hewlett-Packard backs down on
its offer to upgrade
its first-generation DVD+RW drive to be compatible with newer, less-expensive DVD+R discs.
- Nokia launches first phone-based VPN - The VPN client should
address such shortcomings, and it makes the 9210i one of the first handheld devices to enable end-to-end
encrypted links. "You can get VPN clients for Palm, but those devices don't have
the power to run 3DES," said Grace. 3DES is an encryption protocol.
- Definitive guide to writing a Linux virus - This document describes how to write parasitic file viruses infecting
ELF executables on Linux/i386. Though it contains a lot of source code, no actual virus is included,"
reads the abstract for the site.
- Back Orifice for Unix flaw emerges from obscurity - A
vulnerability involving an obscure UDP protocol might permits crackers to
obtain remote control of Unix workstations, security experts have warned. Security
firm ProCheckUp has issued an advisory warning that anonymous XDMCP connections allow
remote attackers to obtain a remote console identical to a local X-Windows session, using
a command enabled by default on most Unix boxes
- US Military Scours Windows Systems For Hacker Back Doors -
NAVCIRT received several computer incident reports involving the installation of

on information security matters.

a new generation of rich Internet content and applications.
- CeBIT Coverage - The world's
largest computer show, CeBIT in Hannover, reveals the signs of a weakened economy. After
years of steady growth in the number of visitors, this year registers 7962 exhibitors - a
decrease of about 130 exhibitors compared to the previous year, and a first in the 16-year
history of the event. Still, the show goes on - Tom's Hardware brings you news from AMD,
Intel, ATi and Hercules. (Day 1
/ Days
2 & 3).
- GeForce 4 MX440 Video Card Shoot Out - I have an older
generation of 3D card, e.g. TnT, TnT2, etc, and I want to get a GF4MX as the replacement.
But there are so many options on the market, which one do I buy? I also want to find out
if different GF4MX boards have significant speed difference. No worries, this
review compares and contrasts 4 popular and affordable GF4MX, ChainTech GF4MX SE,
Gainward GF4MX Golden Sample, Leadtek A170T, and PixelView GF4 MX.
- CloneCD 3.5 Preview - CloneCD has undergone some major
changes in the way it is used. The focus is now on Profiles and people/users don't
have to figure out the proper settings for each disc. A major advantage for less
experienced users of course. The Profile-focus may be a little odd for experienced users
but luckily you can still access the advanced settings.
- Hack The XP Boot Screen - This is a very
simple trick to do if you have done the same for the logon screen and the start
button. There are 2 ways to do this trick that I know about one is doing it manually and
the other is using a program called bootxp. I am going to tell you the manual way to do
it, but if you want to know the other way just let me know, so I can do an update to the
guide.

these babies requires specific GF4 Ti OpenGL extensions so that these may not return the
desired results when run even on GF3 cards.

(XP).

an update to the video player that is included in the DivX 5 bundle. The new version
includes various fixes and can be applied over your existing installation.

version 4.10b which is Microsoft certified. In due course it will be put into the next
update of the 4 in 1 drivers. The version of the AGP driver in the current 4.37(a) 4 in 1
drivers is the 4.05c. The 4.10b has been designed to enhance performance under Windows XP.
