Security Researcher Faces Jail For Finding Bugs
An anonymous reader writes "French security researcher Guillaume Tena, who is working at Harvard University, faces 4 months in prison after being sued by Tegam for reverse engineering its Viguard antivirus software and publishing exploit codes for a number of vulnerabilities. According to a ZDNet article, he could also be sued by Tegam for 900,000 euros in damages. More details are available (in french) on Guillaume's website and on the K-OTik's website."
The Doody family hope to raise profile of faggots
A West Midlands family is playing a central role in the quest to raise the profile of a forgotten British dish - faggots.
The Doody family from Wolverhampton has been crowned The Faggot Family in a national competition, and to kick off their reign they will launch National Faggot Week.
The family will be touring the country extolling the virtues of the dish, which is best-known for its links with the Black Country.
The Doody family were chosen to front the campaign after impressing judges at the Savoy Hotel in London in November.
Faggot facts
Faggots were called "savoury ducks" in the Middle Ages
Faggots were named after the Latin word for bundle
Faggots were originally made with pig's liver and offal
Faggots are now made from pork liver and pork
Fans have published the Good Faggot Guide
They displayed their fanaticism for the delicacy during quizzes, role-plays and mock commercials.
"The nation knows that the Cornish pasty, Yorkshire pudding, haggis and fish and chips are great British dishes, but all too often the faggot is left off that list," said Janet Doody.
Her husband Fred added: "It's unfair because faggots were a British delicacy long before any of the others.
"The great British faggot is full of flavour and a great belly warmer at this time of year."
The family, including Lewis, 13, and Grace, 7, eat faggots twice a week, with mashed potato and mushy peas, and will be launching the awareness campaign on Tuesday at Liverpool University, followed by visits this week to Nottingham, Leeds, Sheffield and Birmingham.
The competition was organised by faggot producer Mr Brain's Faggots.

Ralph should have been sued for preventing the US car industry in its effort create smaller more effiecent cars. Basically he helped create the energy and polution problems of the 70's and 80's. As a result, the safe way of making cars was to make them big and heavy.
"...if Ford was selling cars with defective brakes. If I realised that there was a problem, opened the hood..."
Opening the hood to look at the brakes? What kind of bizzarro engineering are the French up to these days? Why aren't the brakes on the wheels like they are on my car?
thats so f*cking jewish...
Just shut the fucking hole in your head, you 17 year old little queer monger. Before I come crush your democrat head with my rethuglican boots. Fucking cum guzzling little fuckwinder.
Yeesh! That's one scary link you added there. Gnnnn! However, in an ironic twist, psychologists have shown that Republicanism is likely a form of mental illness, and fMRI scans do show that extreme right-wingers show abnormal or no brain activity in areas associated with positive feelings, possibly indicating brain dysfunction or damage of some kind.
You don't need to MRI people to figure out if they are a conservative/republican. Just look for the slanted, small forehead and rounder-than-average head.

As opposed to the company that tightens?
Additionally, radio stations often have to play song X to be allowed to play song Y...or, if they're going to play song Y at all, they have to put it on heavy rotation, playing it several times a day. They can't just put a cd in and send a quarter to someone - they have to get permission first, and often times (with top-40 pop, at least), that permission comes with a list of stipulations. Another example: you can't just buy a dvd and show it at a theatre, then send a check to someone. YOu have to get *permission* to do it first, because they may decide that if you are going to show it just once, you must show it a minimum of twice a night for 2 weeks, and on 1700 screens. Such are given as requirements on a regular basis.
