Busted by the FBI - Max Vision goes to jail. A lesson to be learned by 'white hat' hackers.
..."We've lost a great programmer, someone who helped to make systems more secure," Taltos said. "And after the way the feds abused Max I bet a lot of those nice hackers are going to pull away from helping companies secure their systems now."

hm... so i finished the project i had to do at work, and am now trying to do something for idgrid, while also trying to find something interesting to put up on this blog. regarding the online project, what if we make a separate blog for that? then this blog will be for news, events and other interesting, non-interlinked bits of information, while the other one will have a continuity about it, something of a publicly viewed conversation on a certain topic. what do you think?
I'd like to start posting ideas for an online project.
This blogging has the potential for us to view the entire process of a project since everyone posts their ideas on the same piece of paper :: idgrid blogg. the tools at our disposal are posted images/ rough sketches / text / links... remember this :?: A RECIPE STRUCTURE: THE INGREDIENTS : - - - THE MIX: - - - THE COOKIN': - - - THE FILLING: - - - This could be a language which we begin to use for our descriptions, whatever shape they take.
this should be coming sooon...snowwar

Get Acrobat Reader 5.0 from Adobe. Much improved over 4.0. It has fewer buttons and a simplified interface. Looks like Adobe is moving towards the eBook business. One of the interesting features I found on this new version is the 'Read Aloud' button. You can have the computer reading text to you - in a very electronic voice - but still something to be considered. The software keeps track in a visual way of your opened documents - filing the first page of your opened documents in the Library section.

MotoGP - FIM World Motorcycle Championship was unleashed on PS2 this weekend. The two rookies - [d] and [v] took on the most demanding circuits the 500 series has to offer. [d] was riding Aprilia RSW - 2 500, a quick and well handled two cilinder that clocked the best time in Arcade mode on the British GP Donington track. The best lap time was (if recorded) better by .100 s than best posting on the Official Time Attack Contest. Velimir delivered impressive performance riding his favourite Repsol Honda, recording blistering speeds on the straight lines of French and Japanese circuits. 
[d]'s favourite - Aprilia RSW - 2 500 
[v]'s (The Virus) - Repsol Honda
Replacement shells for the Palm III - made from machined aluminum. I have a early Palm 5000 with a screen that plays tricks on every occasion and a sexy split on the side where the pen goes - these won't fit ... but my geek pride is still not hurt - yet.
