  • The Cost of Warez: DrinkorDie - Last week, at age 29, John Sankus Jr. moved out of his parents' house for the first time. He and his parents drove 150 miles from their home in suburban Philadelphia to his new one: a federal penitentiary in Allenwood (free reg.required), Pa. Mr. Sankus, who entered the minimum-security prison on July 2 to serve a 46-month sentence, is a soft-spoken, churchgoing computer technician who still has the plush stuffed whales from his childhood.
  • Microsoft sues over piracy - Microsoft announced Thursday that it has filed 17 lawsuits accusing U.S. companies of distributing illegally copied Microsoft software. The suits, filed in various U.S. District Court jurisdictions, target small PC retailers and consultants, with most of the cases concentrated in Florida, California and New Jersey.
  • KPNQwest heads for final shutdown - The future of the KPNQwest network looks bleak, after the Customer Support KPNQwest foundation decided to withdraw its support for the operation from 23.00 hours tonight.
  • The eyes have it - As computers become more sophisticated, our eye movements could replace the common mouse and keyboard. Scientists at London's Imperial College are developing eye-tracking technology to establish exactly how the eye works and how we look at things.
  • Outlook plug-in could let the hackers in - The Pretty Good Privacy encryption plug-in for Microsoft's Outlook has a flaw that could hand hackers the key to coded e-mails.
  • MS SQL Server multiple vulns - First up we have a trio of issues, all of which have been fixed with a single cumulative patch (download).There are two exploitable buffer overrun vulnerabilities, one of which allows an attacker to run arbitrary code, and a registry stuff-up enabling the SQL Server service to write to the registry and specify another account, like LocalSystem, say and have OS-like privies.
  • Windows worm rears ugly head - Windows users are being warned to be on the lookout for a virus disguised as 'copyrighted Microsoft code' and claiming to be a Windows update. One expert has even warned that the Windows worm, Datom.A, "could mark an evolution for viruses' modus operandi".  The worm may arrive as an email purporting to be a Microsoft update, but it can also spread through open network shares. The actual worm itself consists of three components: MSVXD.exe, MSVXD16.dll and MSVXD32.dll, created using Borland C++.
  • Matrox Parhelia 128 MBytes Video Card Review - As compared with the previous products from Matrox, this is a super-revolution! It even makes no sense to give specs of the G400/450/550. But as compared with the current solutions from ATI (RADEON 8500) and NVIDIA (GeForce4 Ti) the Parhelia looks quite modest. Although 16 texture units place this chip on a higher level, our tests will show that almost no applications can work with the multitexturing mode of "4 pipelines X 4 texture units".
  • Anti-Aliasing Quality Between GF4 Ti & Parhelia Comparsion - 3DCenter.de has posted an Anti-Aliasing quality comparison between a Geforce 4 Ti and the brand new Matrox Parhelia. The article is in german but check pictures.

I would recomend stearing clear of Optimizer XP 3.3 . I tried, it and it messed up my XP settings, so that when ever I try to save anything to a CD-RW (through Nero's InCD) it tries to do it through the WinXP/roxio system (which I hate)! The program doesn't inculde a roll-back feature, so that you'll have to do that by yourself.

Re: 'PCI Latency'' Patch For VIA Chipsets 0.20 Clicking on that link gives you this - This site has limited bandwidth available. You may not link to its downloads directly. Bad Gameguru mania BAD!

to jasmingo: some "mojo" sent me this link via email....I fixed it right now.

Thanks HX, you're a star! I suggest anyone with a via chipset check this out but definitely read the FAQ listed in the downloads section. I personally don;t have a lot of the problems they're talking about on my system but if I did, I'd definitely get this.
