Complete rubbish. While early versions of foobar2000 did use mikmod which was is used in winamp, fb2k has switched to the superior libmodplug for over a year already. libmodplug, of course, doesn't have this bug.
Does anyone see the potential for Gmail to be used as a huge shared spam database. Include a simple "classify email as spam" on the webmail interface, add the spam to a shared Bayesian filter dictionary. Allow mail clients to compare incoming mail with Gmail's database. At the least, this could eliminate the need for new mail users to having to train their filters for a couple of weeks before it starts becoming effective.
Notice the article mentioned that virus writers are *sharing* source codes, not *opening* source codes. That means they are using the SharedSource(tm) concept, not open source! Now I wonder who came up with this SharedSource thing....
...when Symantec puts out a report that viruses are on the decline. I'm not saying that viruses are on the rise or on the decline or are not a danger to users, but I will definitely take such reports with a punch of salt, coming from a company which stands a lot to gain by scaring internet users with predictions of rise in virus attacks.
In sleep he spoke to me, in dreams he came That voice which calls to me, and speaks my name And do I dream again, for now i find The master of the One Ring is there, inside my mind
Anandtech had an Opteron vs Xeon test earlier too, AMD Opteron 248 vs. Intel Xeon 2.8: 2-way Web Servers go Head to Head where the Opteron trashes the Xeon handily. I guess that was more focused towards web serving, and now that Anandtech intended to replace their forums database server, they naturally based their latest test "AMD Opteron vs. Intel Xeon: Database Performance Shootout"on database performance.
"In a 4-way configuration AMD's Opteron cannot be beat, and thus it is our choice for the basis for our new Forums database server. We'll be documenting that upgrade in a separate article so stay tuned."
Gentoo makes you go through the lilo/grub bootloader installation stage manually, and provide some guides on how to do it. Of course, you should be able to find more detailed documentations elsewhere like from tldp. Basically, if you do it yourself, you can easily setup any boot combination you like.
The previous record for a film winning all its nominations was nine, set by "Gigi" (1958) and "The Last Emperor" (1988).
Did anyone else read that as "Gigli"? I was wondering wtf, wasn't that the worst movie of the year? Then I came to realised, it did win all the Oscars it was nominated for, i.e. zero.
One thing I've always wondered about, and wasn't mentioned in the nitpickers guide was Aragorn bearing a bow and using it expertly in FotR. Don't remember anything mentioned about Aragorn being skilled with the bow in the book. And we never see him with a bow again after FotR? Perhaps he left it in Emyn Muil so that the three hunters can travel light.
IANAL, but I've taken a half-year module on law. At least where I am, it is up to the judge's discretion to award costs to the winner, but this applies only to non-criminal cases. I believe DVD-Jon's case was a criminal case and defendant's costs cannot be recovered... except maybe with an unlawful arrest suit or something.
The Chronicles of Prydain (by Llyod Alexander), while not as well known as the Chronicles of Narnia, is a beautiful series which has captured my heart and my fantasies during my younger days. It seems dissapointing that it has not even gotten a small fraction of the recognition that the Chronicles of Narnia has, with only a long forgotten Disney movie "The Black Cauldron" (also made into a Sierra adventure game) to show. It's the perfect fantasy series suitable even for young children, and I found it a way more fulfilling read even than the Harry Potter series. Try to find the series of 5 books... if you can. It would be well worthwhile.

Yup that's the one Bill Suitor was the stuntmen.

Probably because kernel.org is already very well mirrored it usually doesn't get slashdotted.
If it weren't for C we would all be using PASAL, OBOL and BASI

In the article here it was mentioned that script kiddies were already exploting RPC/DCOM months before the first eEye first published it.

MyDoom is proprietary and binary only! This will taint the kernel!

Looks like an Adobe engineer wrote the virus then...
That ain't so bad. Make them watch Reloaded and Revolutions and deny them from the original Matrix.
