Robert Gets Nuked By a Virus: * Welllllll... maybe not nuked, but he had a Trojan try to sneak a keylogger onto his system... * Trend Micro's free online virus scan sorted him out.... he still won't run an antivirus on his gaming system. * BTW: be careful where you download files!

Excel's 'Zero Day' flaw. * If you aren't doing it automatically, Patch Your System! * Britain to Extradite Hacker Suspect to U.S. * Take care of your disgruntled employees: BSA Pays Bounty for Software Pirates * Firefox Version 2.0 Beta Out * Friendster Wins Patent What Was That? * A couple folks asked about the t-shirt Patrick was wearing. It's a Hank III shirt from his last tour. The dude is amazing live if you can catch him! (Didn't like the picture on the front? Be happy you didn't see the back.
