- Fizzer - A Multi-threat Worm That Attacks Via E-mail and KaZaA -
"Fizzer" is a classic network worm that propagates across the Internet. It arrives to the target computers as an executable file and activates when a
user launches it. Once this happens "Fizzer" creates 5 additional files and modifies the Windows registry auto-run section so that the worm
loads each time the operating system is started. To spread via KaZaA, "Fizzer"
creates multiple copies of itself under random names, and places these files
in the victim computer's dedicated KaZaA file-sharing folder, if in fact this
directory exists. By doing so, "Fizzer" becomes "available" to all other
network participants.

took hostages at gunpoint on the campus of Case Western Reserve University

fired indiscriminately in an apparent fit of rage.
- Xbox and Linux in car multimedia -
These pages shows
the use of 'off the shelf' components to construct an integrated in-car
multimedia and entertainment system. The back end of the system is powered by
a Microsoft Xbox which is running a mod-chip and a version of Linux developed
by the Xbox-Linux developent team. This is a variant of Debian/GNU Linux but
heavily stripped down by myself so that the system boots and loads the
interface in a respectable time (<40 seconds from power on). With a 40gb
replacement drive, I have multiple albums of music, several films, a few video
game emulators (Arcade, NeoGeo and Super Nintendo) and music videos to play
along with the music.

must considere them as temporary, show some impressive datas. Athlon 64 looks
to be 70% than competitors running at similar speed (1.4GHz).
- 7 Different 15-Inch LCD Display Round-up -

- Samsung Syncmaster 191N LCD Review - GideonTech has published a
review of
19 inch LCD display from Samsung.
- Samsung ML-1750 Laser Printer Review - Without a doubt,
this laser
printer is dedicated to a home-office or small-business role. The main
selling points; 17ppm printing speed, 8MB of printer memory, USB 2.0 and
Parallel connectivity, 250-sheet cassette, 166-MHz RISC processor, 1200dpi
class resolution, and full PCL6 compliance. Best of all, in-box, the ML-1750
is compatible with 17 flavors of operating systems ranging from Mac OS to
Unix, PC to Linux. Introduced at the recent CeBIT 2003 show, Samsung was proud
the tote the ML-1750 as the smallest 17ppm printer in the world!
- On The GeForce FX 5900 And Games -
HomeLAN
takes a look at NVIDIA's newly announced GeForce FX 5900 graphics chips,
based on information supplied by NVIDIA as well as talking with their product
manager Steve Sims about their new high end product.
- The 256MB ATi Radeon 9800 Pro -
The 256MB ATi Radeon 9800 Pro's board layout is similar to the 128MB
model, but with a few notable exceptions. The front and back sides of the PCB
each have eight, 16MB DDR-II modules installed, clocked at 700MHz (350MHz
DDR). The 128MB Radeon 9800 Pro has DDR-I type memory clocked at 680MHz
(340MHz DDR). The increase in memory clock speed brings total bandwidth up to
22.4GB/Sec, versus 21.8GB/Sec on the 128MB card. The core is clocked at 380MHz
on both versions of the 9800 Pro, which is cooled by the same aluminum HSF.
The 256MB board also has the added benefit of heatsinks installed on the RAM.
So, what does having 256MB of memory installed on a video card mean to gamers?
Well, there are three main benefits. First, having more memory available means
game developers can use larger, higher quality textures without having to swap
data in and out of system memory.
- XFX GeForce4 Ti 4800-SE review -
The XFX GeForce4 Ti 4800SE is an average interpretation of a GPU that's
been made redudant by a newer iteration of cards. NVIDIA seem keen on pushing
their highly specified new cards, at the expense of pure all-out speed. The
GeForce4 Ti series has served NVIDIA and its partners well, but, as you can
see once we apply antialiasing and anisotropic filtering, the relative
failings of the Ti 4800SE become all too apparent.
- MSI GeForce FX 5600 Review - VR-Zone Hardware has posted
a review
on the MSI GeForce FX 5600. From a default core clock speed of 325Mhz and
a memory frequency of 550Mhz, we were able to reach a core speed of 369Mhz and
a memory frequency of 686Mhz using Nvidia's hidden overclocking tool included
with the 43.45 Detonator's.
- NVIDIA GeForce FX5900 Ultra review -
The NV35
seeks to better the NV30 in almost every way. Having a high GPU output
only makes sense with oodles of bandwidth, especially when one knows that
antialiasing and anisotropic filtering are what most users look for in a
high-end card. The NV35 tries to solve the bandwidth problem by running a
256-bit memory interface (4 x 64-bit controllers) coupled to 850MHz RAM. A
total, theoretical 27.2GB/s of bandwidth should serve the 450MHz core well.
