http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/product/seo/457042 If this doesn't work as a permalink, just search for Nero there. As it turns out, I needn't have bothered doing the upgrade shuffle, as that's the same as I paid for the V6 I upgraded (free). Mind you, I'd still consider V7 to be beta...

(sorry to post in "forum news", but this is an urgent alert and would be lost elsewhere) http://www.afterdawn.com/news/archive/7179.cfm Changes to Finnish law, hostile to freedom, require a number of things to be removed from the site or edited to eliminate potentaily contravening content -...

Getting a large collection of newspaper and magazine giveaway DVDs, but as yet, the only player we have (other than the PC) is a CD/MP3/VCD portable. So, choosing my weapons... Tell me if there's a better choice... 1. Ripper - decided to go with DVD Fab Decrypter http://dvdidle.com/free.htm...

The traditional introduction of a truly awful joke, so here's one: What did one wasp say to the other wasp at Christmas? "Let's go carol stinging" Is that the worst joke, or can you do better (or worse!).

While I've been a loyal fan (fanatatic) of 7-Zip for ages, I nneded something that could go into an ISO. So what do I do? - well, I could have loaded up a virtual Cd utility, like Daemon tools or the one available with Nero, but I fancy a change, better still if it's freeware...

I never thought it would get to this stage, as I thought I'd always been pretty careful about not leaving spambot-harvestable email addresses around. For the first time, I will actually drop an email account due to the stupid amount of spam it gets, and while they claim to offer an anti-spam...

http://www.shrinkto5.com/ Listed on Download.com, after being initially refused - it does not do deCSS as standard, but is compatible with a plugin that they leave you to source. http://www.download.com/ShrinkTo5-GUI/3000-7970_4-10432778.html?tag=lst-0-1 Mixed reviews though! The reviews at...

Dynamic progress update Would you buy pixels, at $1 each? The Million dollar homepage, 1000x1000 pixels of wall to wall adverts - well, when it's finished. Since it is actually divided into 10x10 units at $100, there are actually 10,000 units. I thought it was a really stupid idea when I...

The kids TV channel asked for some new nursery rhymes http://nickjr.co.uk/latest/newRhyme/shortlist.aspx - the shortlist I like that one, or the "Baker Toni"... am I being too deep in seeing some political satire there?

According to the radio this morning, British naturists will be holding a sponsored swimming relay in Loch Ness. A nice bit of bait for the monster ;)

http://www.windowsitpro.com/ Well written, authoritative technical articles, often found linked from the time when there was some free content - available free for this month only ... get 'em while they're hot, save or print!

With the first sniff of a major England team trophy in any event for years, even people who've never followed cricket before are getting behind the England team. I hope we get enough goals :p Seriously though, all out for 373 is not a great start, and too early in the second day to be on...

http://www.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30000-1194591,00.html According to other reports, the concreate block dropped from 1000 feet above. The odds of it hitting a cable car must be astronomical, and I'd guess they don't drop many of them, though you wouldn't hear about any that didn't do...

http://info.linspire.com/freespire/index.html If you cant even be bothered reading that, the coupon code is "freespire" (without the quotes) I still had "Linspire4RA" in my basket, and that code still seems to be valid as well Their server seems to be a bit choked at the moment!

The answer to the question, "how can I make a DVD-Audio", always used to be one of: 1. You can't 2. You need this very expensive software 3. Make a DVD-Video with minimal video bitrate http://dvd-audio.sourceforge.net/ Not exactly a finished project yet, but even as it stands, you CAN now...

http://www.theenolagay.com/event.html The day the first atomic bomb was detonated in battle, August the 6th, 1945 (and that site clearly has an error in the 1953 date given for the letter). Right or wrong? A question that splits opinion even now, and since the only good thing about war is it's...

http://www.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30000-1191024,00.html Is it good luck to survive a crash landing, or bad luck to be involved in one in the first place?

http://www.news24.com/News24/Technology/News/0,,2-13-1443_1744175,00.html Debris falls from the shuttle at lift-off, and while dismissed as "not unusual", it brings back memories of the Columbia. Is the ISS going to be depending on a vehicle that isn't up to to the task. Whatever happened to...

In an echo of the 7/7 attack, again 4 locations, 3 tube trains and a bus. This time, however, it appears the devices either did not go off completely (reports of a bang, and smoke/smell, but only minor damage), or perhaps were only intended to cause panic and disruption...
