    linuxci writes "Firefox 2.0 has had over two million downloads in 24 hours with a peak rate of over 30 downloads a second. This means Firefox is well on track to beat IE7's three million in four days. Of course stats don't equal users but it's interesting to see that the demand for Firefox is currently outstripping IE."

    David Hallowell writes "As you probably know the EFF's Deep Crack machine which won the last DES challenge is working with distributed.net for this contest. There's a graph which shows the performance of deep crack (labelled DC) and the rest of the distributed.net effort (labelled DCTI) which is composed of everyone running the rc5des clients. The keyrate from the combined rc5des clients is double that of Deep Crack compared to that of last time when it was less than Deep Crack (which has a constant keyrate). The combined rc5des + deep crack keyrate is also shown." Also, Team Slashdot is #2 in the top 100 if you're curious.

    David Hallowell writes " The DES III Contest is starting today at 5pm (GMT). Members of the distributed.net RC5 teams should make sure they download the latest client as they contain optimised code and a faster switchover to the DES contest. The DES contest will last for a maximum of 56 hours and the $10,000 prize will only be available if it is cracked within 24 hours. After that the prizes are on a sliding scale until it reaches 56 hours after which there's no prize."

    Marc Siep writes "It would appear that the demise of Project Unreality has not meant the end of N64 emulation. Check out this out. Looks like emulation is going the open-source way, just look at the success of Snes9x (now available on DOS, Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, MacOS, Solaris, SunOS, RiscOS, BeOS, Irix, HP-UX, AmigaOS and the N64 itself."
