  • The Matrix Reloaded banned in Egypt - Global blockbuster The Matrix Reloaded has been banned in Egypt because of its "violent" content and because it tackles "religious themes". The country's censorship board said the film's storyline, about the search for the creator and control of the human race, may cause "crises". Violent scenes also had the potential to "harm social peace", a statement said.
  • Chances for 'Fat Tax' Approval Look Slim - A proposal to tax junk food, video games and television commercials to pay for an obesity prevention program faces stiff opposition from lawmakers and business groups. Chances of the proposal passing before lawmakers go home for the summer on June 19 looked slim after a spokesman for Republican Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno said he would not support the tax.  The 1 percent tax hike proposed by Assemblyman Felix Ortiz would apply to junk food, video games and television commercials, which Ortiz blames on New York's growing obesity problem. Ortiz, a Democrat, did not rule out proposing tax increases on other things that he believes contribute to obesity.
  • Newest Bugbear Virus Targets Banks - The worm's code contains a list of more than 1000 domain names of banks from around the world, according to Symantec. Suzanne Gorman, chairman of the Financial Services Information Sharing and Analysis Center, an industry security group in Reston, Virginia, said that the organization responded immediately to the first reports of Bugbear attacks on banks by warning member institutions to make sure that their security systems are fully in place. A conference call was held with security experts and members to review the problem and discuss strategy, she said. No member banks so far have been infiltrated by the Bugbear virus, she said, because of firewalls, antivirus protection, and other multilayer IT security systems.
  • Toshiba, SanDisk shrinking memory cells - Toshiba and SanDisk announced that they have managed to shrink the cell size, the region that "holds" data, on flash-memory chips, a development that will lead to 2-gigabit and 4-gigabit flash chips by next year. The new memory cell has a physical area of only 0.041 square microns, smaller than existing cells, and can be manufactured on the 90-nanometer manufacturing process, a manufacturing standard coming to market toward the end of the year.
  • AMD overhauling transistors, chips -  The Sunnyvale, Calif-.based chipmaker is examining how to incorporate a wide variety of cutting-edge concepts--strained silicon, multi-gate transistors, replacing silicon with metal in key transistor components--to boost the performance of chips that will hit the market in the second half of the decade.
  • Intel takes notebook chips past 3GHz - Dell began offering its new Inspiron 5150 notebook with the 3.06GHz mobile Pentium 4 on Wednesday. The machine starts at about $1,550, a price that includes the new chip with a 15-inch high-resolution display, 256MB of RAM, a 30GB hard drive, a DVD-ROM and a graphics board from ATI Technologies.
  • Epson Stylus Photo 900 review - The sticker on the Epson Stylus Photo 900 ($200 street) says, "The Complete Printing Solution for Your Digital Lifestyle." We doubt any printer can live up to that claim, but the quality of the 900's output 900 varies from good to excellent, and as a bonus, you can print directly onto CDs.
  • FIC A98P Radeon 9800 Pro review - VR-Zone today has take a look at the FIC A98P Radeon 9800 Pro card which sports a hip box design with a rendered bull on the cover. FIC continues to hammer away their OEM only image by putting out quality graphic cards and motherboards geared at the enthusiast markets. The A98P is no exception, from slick new retail packaging design to great overclockability (472/370Mhz), the A98P is one of the few cards that holds its own in the ever so turbulent and cut-throat high end graphic card market.
  • QuickTime Alternative 1.10 - QuickTime Alternative will allow you to play QuickTime files (.mov, .qt and other extensions) without having to install the official QuickTime Player. As a bonus, Internet Explorer will play all QuickTime movies that are embedded in a webpage. You do need a media player that is capable of playing QuickTime files.
  • Media Player Classic 6.4.5.4 - Media Player Classic (download) is similar to windows media player 6.4 but with features pertained to minimalist advanced users.
  • VIA Audio drivers v3.50c - VIA Tech has released new drivers for the internal AC97 sound in their chipsets i.e. south bridges VT686A, VT686B, VT8231, VT8233, VT8233A, VT8233C and VT8235.

Fucking Fat Tax. Unbelievable! Only in America. Let's also add Fat Taxes to couches, TVs, cars... come to think of it, we can put a Fat Tax on almost everything, excluding gym equipment (something fat people don't have or use). I'm so sick of this “stupid people” bull shit. Maybe if these obese people would get off their asses every once in a while to do something other than go to the kitchen and stuff their fat faces all day and night, maybe they wouldn’t be so fucking fat. And perhaps, when they do eat, they can eat food that is not so unbelievably fattening. Does anyone have any commonsense these days? Americans are becoming dumber than dogs. I’d hate to see how this country is going to look ten or twenty years from now.

Two categories, genetically fat and fat for no reason but eating too much or too fat food, the first category have my sympathy and they should somehow through taxes get atleast a chance to recover like with any other disease, but the second category just plain disgust me and have nothing with any tax funds to do whatsoever.

higher taxes = more crime

Comments from Erbozposted - 12:12 PM CEST - Jun,13 2003
Egypt is right in banning lame crap like The Matrix. Just like how bad the game is, is should be banned all over the world.

Comments from potrineposted - 02:47 PM CEST - Jun,13 2003
They should ban you too, Erboz :)

Doesn't egypt harbour terrorists? funny they ban a game and let terrorists live in their country. I believe in countries that allow people freedom to live and have an opinion. From what I understand in Egypt, people don't really have rights and their goverment is more of a dictatorship. People shouldn't complain about taxes in USA. You all have it easy. Trying living in Canada and dishing out 50% of your salary to a government that blows it on uselessness. Americans got it easy. I'd live there but I can't live in a country that not mature enough to put the guns away. Any country that allows the right to bear arms is a bad place. You know why Americans are so against drugs and why government pursues it. Not cuz it's bad for your health, but because imagine millions of Americans smoking marijuana and holding a gun. They'd cut their population in half within 2 weeks.
