OK, surely enough I have no complaints from my archaic CCE 2.50 encoder- it does its job flawlessly, actually much better than any newer version of CCE I have tried. But recently I wanted to try the new CCE SP2, and got the trial version, to test it in my brand new puter ( Core 2 Duo 6600, 2 GB...

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2003/10/06/linux_vs_windows_viruses/ Nice, informative, absolutely non-technical article, which explains many things in a convincing way. Obviously the writer is biased, but heck, this isn't a major sin- is it?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirate_Party https://www.piratpartiet.se/English.aspx I have to admit that the Vikings are way more advanced than what we'll ever be in the next fifty years, at least! :p

Here are the scary news, and there some hope that the above is just rumours... but is there smoke without a fire? :D Opera users should already feel uneasy... myself have no major reasons to worry- a dedicated Firefox fan... LOL.

IE6 is the safest browser on planet earth- provided of course that you don't do senseless things like using your system's clipboard!!! :eek: Just go here and see by yourself- it's a simplistic script, which could be written by every script kiddie, making your clipboard contents available to...

Just another page to a never ending story- but this time it is amusing to say the least...

Have a good, amusing read here

Right from the lion's mouth, before the official announcement: ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/office/openoffice/contrib/rc/2.0.0rc1/ Also available at other OOo mirrors, search for it at the /contrib/rc/2.0.0rc1/ subfolder. Windows, i386Linux and Solaris binaries available currently (as well as several...

I may have posted that on the joke's forum, but unfortunately the incident is simply "too true to be good"... :rolleyes: A variant of Rbot Worm, backpacking off the recent Zotop virus seems to be causing damage to CNN's systems. The amusing part is that CNN have Dave Perry (Trend Micro)...

The news courtesy of CD Freaks- thanks for it. WinOnCD 6 PE is now offered by the german department of Roxio (formerly known as Cequadrat) for free! It has also happened with WOCD PE 5, two years and a half ago. Get the program here: http://www.roxio.de/adban/download/winoncd6/winoncd6pe.exe...

Hardly a surprise, heh? Since 2000 is the only MS I'm using currently (via VMware emulation) I might be a bit worried... Here is the whole report from ZdNet. BTW the hole also affects XP SP1 and 2003, but this is a concern for other Windblows users... :D

The picotux 100 is the world's smallest Linux computer, only slightly larger (35mm×19mm×19mm) than an RJ45 connector. Inside, there is an ARM7 CPU at 55 MHz running uClinux kernel 2.4.27 and Busybox 1.0. Two communication interfaces are provided, 10/100 Mbit half/full duplex Ethernet and a...

Probably more significant even than the day of the abandonment of the idiotic, neoliberal Barroso-style EU constitution. More details HERE and I think "almost" anyone here should be happy about that! Qudos to the members of the EU parliament, although I must admit I don't have any big trust to...

This is not the only DVD ripper/shrinker for *nix of course, but to my knowledge it's one of the simplest and easiest to use. The rather pretty GUI (QT3) is quite reminiscent to DVD Shrink. Since its a new project, one should expect bugs... If there's no binary for your preferred distribution...
