- Warnings On Radioactive Security - Radioactive materials that a
terrorist would need to build a "dirty bomb" are available around the world, and
more than 100 countries may have inadequate programs to prevent or
even detect thefts, a U.N. agency said Tuesday.
- MS unveils new Office plans - At TechXNY, Microsoft takes the wraps off
Office 11--it's set
to replace Office XP in 2003. Plus, the word is that Tablet PCs will debut in

- Cyberraid to hit U.S. agencies - Nearly half of IT professionals believe
that the U.S. government will be hit with a "major cyberattack" in the next 12
months, according to the survey, conducted for the Business Software Alliance.
- Developers issue OpenSSH alert - Open source developers yesterday warned of a
significant vulnerability in OpenSSH, a tool that ships with many Linux and Unix flavours.
The details of the hole have not been made public because a patch is not yet available,
but the secrecy of the developers has caused a schism in the open source community.
- Buggy software costs users, vendors nearly $60B annually - Software bugs are costing the U.S. economy an estimated $59.5 billion
each year, with more than half of the cost borne by end users and the remainder by
developers and vendors, according to a new federal study. Improvements in testing could
reduce this cost by about a third, or $22.5 billion, but it won't eliminate all software
errors, the study said. Of the total $59.5 billion cost, users incurred 64% of the cost
and developers 36%.
- Windows Longhorn slips again, becomes megaproject - Gates's list of what's planned
for Longhorn is largely user's eye view, classic eye-candy of the sort that gets
bolted on to the company's interim releases, but given that we're currently talking about
a major overhaul, these ought to be more integral to the finished product than has often
been the case in the past. Gates alludes to the database angle by asking of current
operating systems: "Why are my document files stored one way, my contacts another
way, and my e-mail and instant-messaging buddy list still another, and why aren't they
related to my calendar or to one another and easy to search en masse?"

market that will use 600MHz memory and Gainward is promising that on 10x7 at 32-bit
colour, triple buffered, with two sample FSAA on -- or, simply, quite a heavy load for a
mainstream card -- we should be at last see some performance difference between this and
the previous MX 460 generation.
- Abit BD7II RAID Motherboard Review - Abit has once again
produced a strong board which blends performance with lots of overclocking features.
The BD7II is a solid board if you're into overclocking and achieving maximal performance
from your setup. While the board has a lot of good points, it does have a few negative
points.
- Patched UXTheme.DLL (WinXP SP 1 beta) - XTechNet.net has posted a patched
