Captain Cyborg terrorises UK conference
We recently said that we would be giving Kev "Captain Cyborg" Warwick no further coverage on this august organ. Sadly, we lied.
The reason for this shameless U-turn is the news that the robotic prof has been giving forth at the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development's 2004 training conference.

Spam King gets restraining order against SpamCop
A bulk mailing company headed by notorious spammer Scott Richter has won a restraining order against anti-spam reporting service SpamCop.
Following an order by a Northern California District Court judge on Monday SpamCop is obliged to temporarily stop reporting complaints about Richter's company, OptinRealBig.com, to third-party ISPs. The order will apply until 20 May, when the two companies are scheduled to appear in court. SpamCop is fighting the main action but it failed to oppose the temporary restraining order.

So ein Depp!
Zwei Jahre lang versteckte sich der wegen Mordes gesuchte Philippino Bernardo Loreto vor der Polizei.
Am Tag der Präsidenten- und Parlamentswahlen auf den Philippinen aber wurde ihm sein staatsbürgerliches Pflichtbewusstsein zum Verhängnis.
Er wagte sich aus der „Deckung“ und ging abstimmen. Verwandte des Mordopfers erkannten den mutmaßlichen Täter und alarmierten die Exekutive, wie Polizeioffizier Roberto Quilope am Mittwoch dem Sender ABS-CBN berichtete.

Pictures taken by soldiers on the frontline in Iraq
Jim and I are amazed at the variety of pictures we see on Yafro, but the most amazing by far are the pictures taken by soldiers on the Frontline in Iraq. We are happy that Yafro enables them to give us all a glimpse into their lives that we rarely get from the Media. Straight from the source, it doesn't get any cooler than that!

Complete Ghostbuster suit - -accurate, sounds & lights!
Now is your chance to purchase a completely accurate Ghostbusters suit in one place! This labor of love took over half a year to research and assemble, and is considered to be among the top five reproductions by industry professionals. Expertly painted and weathered, can be disassembled for electronic maintenance (if you want to modify the sound card), and everything runs on eight D-Cells (easily accessible and hidden on the Alice Pack), except the Mt500 hand-held radio, which runs on one 9-volt. Current bid: US $1,325.00

MS patch day: nothing critical ????
The Microsoft patch train rolled back into security central last night with a mercifully light load. In contrast to last month when we had four patches addressing 20 vulnerabilities - including the flaw infamously exploited by the Sasser worm - this month around we have just a single, solitary new patch.

Microsoft: SP2 Will Not Install on Pirated Copies of XP
Contrary to the remarks it made to the ComputerTimes, Microsoft now claims that it will not permit users who have obtained Windows XP illegally to upgrade to its latest service release. Instead, the software giant will continue to enforce compliance with its licensing.
In a nutshell, Microsoft group product manager Barry Goffe told ComputerTimes that Windows XP Service Pack 2 would not exclude pirated copies from upgrading, and that it was more important to keep user safe than to be "concerned about the revenue issue."
