  • Satellite systems hackable - study - Critical commercial satellite systems relied upon by federal agencies, civilians and the Pentagon are potentially vulnerable to a variety of sophisticated hack attacks that could cause service disruptions, or even send a satellite spinning out of control, according to a new report by the General Accounting Office, the investigative arm of Congress.
  • Robotic Model Monster Truck Pushes Boundaries Of Computer Technology  - Computer scientists at OHSU's OGI School of Science and Engineering have stripped down a radio-controlled monster truck and turned it into a robotic vehicle that's helping them perfect the latest generation of computer software. The "Timbot" is equipped with its own computer system, a video camera, and other sensors. On a very basic level, it can "decide" where it needs to go, using its sensors and an onboard computer, and, at the same time, transmit live video images across the Internet so that a remote viewer can see what Timbot is looking at. The Timbot is one part of Project Timber (Time as a basis for embedded real-time systems) in the Pacific Software Research Center.
  • Russian TV Show to Offer Space Station Visit as Prize - Russia's ORT television channel and the Russian space agency Rosaviakosmos signed an agreement in Moscow Tuesday to televise a contest whose winner will fly to the International Space Station.  The first flight is planned for the fall of next year.
  • Fossil sparks fight over human origins - A fossil claimed to be modern humans' most ancient ancestor has sparked a bitter squabble, with a team of anthropologists declaring the find is making a monkey out of the human family tree. According to its discoverers, Toumai, found in the Djurab desert of northern Chad and triumphantly presented to the world last July, was a man-like creature, or hominid, about the size of a chimpanzee, which lived 7 million years ago. Their claim is that Toumai will overturn the conventional view of mankind, because the evolutionary split between apes and humans clearly occurred far earlier than molecular studies suggest.
  • DVD and Video Game Theft Reduced by Red Tag Security Device - The Tag Company has launched the Red Tag DVD and Game Security System to home entertainment retailers throughout the UK and Europe. Red TagR has been developed to enable retailers to more openly display DVDs and Games, without the threat of unacceptable levels of theft. Red Tag is easily and simply inserted into the disc box, locking the disc to the box and locking the box shut securing an EAS (Electronic Article Surveillance) label inside. Illicit tampering of Red Tag-protected DVD's and games leads to substantial damage to the box or the disc, preventing thieves from acquiring pristine product and packaging for resale.
  • Software piracy 'out of control' -  Microsoft has uncovered evidence that internet software piracy is spiralling out of control. The research, published at the annual East Asia Economic Summit, shows that there are more than two million web pages offering either illegal software or links to pirate sites. Microsoft's report claims the number of offending websites has surged 100 per cent over the past year, and 2,000 per cent in the last three.
  • Hackers send Sendmail a message  - The apparent attack on Sendmail didn't leave a back door in the popular open-source e-mail software package, as previously believed, but compromised the download software on the Sendmail consortium's primary server so that every tenth request for source code would receive a modified copy in reply.  The problem apparently only affects source code for version 8.12.6 of Sendmail downloaded between Sept. 28 and Oct. 6, according to an advisory posted by the Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) Coordination Center on Tuesday.
  • Microsoft ''XDocs''  - "XDocs," a code name for the newest member of the Microsoft Office family, streamlines the process of gathering information by enabling teams and organizations to easily create and work with rich, dynamic forms. The information collected can be integrated with a broad range of business processes because XDocs supports any customer-defined XML schema and integrates with XML Web services. As a result, XDocs helps to connect information workers directly to organizational information and gives them the ability to act on it, which leads to greater business impact.
  • AGP 3.0 Tutorial -  AGP 3.0 is the third generation of accelerated graphics for the Intel-compatible computers and will be officially introduced on 11/12/02. In contrast to AGP 2.0 the AGP 3.0 specification isn't just a derivation of an existing standard. AGP 3.0 is incompatible to AGP 2.0 - in theory. However, compatibility can be forced by implementing the "Universal AGP 3.0 Motherboard" standard.
  • Ultra High Mode in UT 2003  - If you look in the diagram options of Unreal Tournament 2003, then the detail degree "high" will only encounter as top. The "Ultra High detail" mode, like it the developers ensure, would be on current cards a call for Choppy-orgies and are not implemented therefore in the game - not yet.
