Silentmaxx-Gehäuse soll "Null-Dezibel-PC" ermöglichen
Mit dem neuen passiven Gehäusesystem ST-P1 will der Händler Silentmaxx den schwer zu erfüllenden Traum vom geräusch- und lüfterlosen "0 dB(A)-Rechner" erfüllen. Die Kühlung der Systemkomponenten übernehmen zum größten Teil Aluminium-Kühlrippen in den Seitenwänden, während die Wärme von Prozessor und Netzteil über leistungsfähige Heatpipes abgeleitet werden soll - selbst bei Volllast soll der PC in Verbindung mit einigen Extras so keine Geräusche mehr entwickeln.

SueMeMicrosoft.com
Welcome to SueMeMicrosoft.com. This site was inspired by the Microsoft vs. Mike Rowe case that ended in a rather disappointing settlement. I think that if Mike Rowe can get sued by Microsoft then it should be the God-given unalienable right of every person on Earth to have that same opportunity. My grandfather didn't sail across the Atlantic ocean to America from Russia during the Russian Revolution for nothing, he wanted to live in the land of opportunity where all men are created equal with liberty and justice for all! Then why are we being discriminated upon in such a dastardly fashion? We've been trampled upon by those who wish to keep us down for too long! So I demand thee, Microsoft Corp. to sue me like you've never sued anyone before!

Exploit Based On Leaked Windows Code Released
A vulnerability was reported in Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) version 5. A remote user can execute arbitrary code on the target system.
It is reported that a remote user can create a specially crafted bitmap file that, when loaded by IE, will trigger an integer overflow and execute arbitrary code.
The author states that this flaw was found by reviewing the recently leaked Microsoft Windows source code. The flaw reportedly resides in 'win2k/private/inet/mshtml/src/site/download/imgbmp.cxx'.

We Are Morons: a quick look at the Win2k source
A quick, superficial look at the style and content of the leaked Windows 2000 source. I quote from the comments but not the code, so this should be safe for developers to read.

The stealth worm era
With the pace of virus development accelerating, experts fear even nastier criminal attacks in future
Many people might wonder why virus writers aren't simply rounded up and arrested for producing their creations. But in most countries, writing viruses is not illegal.
Indeed, in the United States some legal scholars argue that it is protected as free speech. Software is a type of language, and writing a program is akin to writing a recipe for beef stew. It is merely a bunch of instructions for the computer to follow, in the same way that a recipe is a set of instructions for a cook to follow.

Work of idle hands 2003 was `the Year of the Worm' and the pace
Intelligent but alienated young men are creating forces they cannot control
This is how easy it has become.
Mario stubs out his cigarette and sits down at the desk in his bedroom. He pops into his laptop the CD of Iron Maiden's "Number of the Beast," his latest favourite album. "I really like it," he says. "My girlfriend bought it for me." He gestures to the 15-year-old girl with straight dark hair lounging on his neatly made bed. Mario, 16, is a secondary-school student in a small town in the foothills of southern Austria. (He didn't want me to use his last name.) His shiny shoulder-length hair covers half his face and his sleepy green eyes, making him look like a very young, languid Mick Jagger.
