Mozillas Webbrowser Firefox ist (so gut wie) fertig
Die Mozilla Foundation hat eine Preview-Release des Standalone-Webbrowsers Firefox 1.0 freigegeben. Firefox entstand unter dem Namen Firebird aus dem Mozilla-Projekt, nachdem die Kritik am aufgeblähten und nur noch schwer wartbaren Code der Websuite von Mozilla immer lauter wurde. Nach heftigem Namensstreit mit dem Projekt für die Open-Source-Datenbank Firebird wurde der Browser dann schließlich in Firefox umbenannt.

Mail-Wurm spricht zu Anwendern
Nicht alle Würmer sind so einfallslos wie Bagle und Netsky, die sich stupide nur per Mail verbreiten, ohne wirklich mit dem Anwender zu interagieren -- abgesehen vom Doppelklick. Der noch wenig verbreitete Mail-Wurm Amusa spricht nach einer Infektion sogar zu dem Anwender.

Doing hard time in monkey jail
The thief threatened children with bricks and ripped the buttons off shirts. He stole tomatoes from one home and snatched bread from another. Down the street, he briefly fled with a differential equations book and beat a calculator with his fist.
He was one bad monkey. And last week he was sentenced to life in prison for his crimes, inmate No. 13 at the country's only known monkey jail, where very bad monkeys are sent to live out their remaining years.

Elderly tourists get lost in prison
IT WAS meant to be a pleasant drive in the country with a spot of lunch on the way.
Instead, it ended up as a security nightmare for a group of 12 pensioners who mistakenly found their way into the maximum security Kariong juvenile detention centre at Gosford on the New South Wales Central Coast, thinking it was a coffee shop.

Truck maker will sell giant pickup
For the driver looking for more in a pickup -- one that dwarfs the Hummer and the Ford F-350 -- Navistar has just the ride for you. The new CXT -- short for commercial extreme truck and built from the same platform as the heavy-truck maker's typical tow truck or cement mixer -- will be sold starting this week by Navistar's International Truck & Engine subsidiary.
At 258 inches, or 21-1/2 feet long, the CXT is about 4-1/2 feet longer than the new Hummer H2 pickup, and about 2 inches longer than the F-350 Crew Cab.

Dutch Finance Minister Gerrit Zalm, the host, said everyone was surprised to find some newcomers were spelling euro differently in their native tongues than the rest.

Exonerated Man Spends 22 Yrs In Prison, Gets Nothing
Wilton A Dedge, 42, didn't get the $100 that Florida gives its more vicious ex-cons when released. He didn't get counseling, job referrals or temporary housing, not even a bus ticket home.
