Joe thanks is not needed, as we were just speaking the truth, and Janet nicely put as usual.

Both janet , and i are giving things a bit of a push to try and get things moving.

Believe it or not we were working on it, but it seemed to get sidetracked. I guess its time for us to get back to work on it. I will get back to you as soon as its done bud.

Thanks a lot, and to go along with janet, this place is growing nicely. It really is becoming more interesting all the time, and that is why Im dropping in and viewing more often. I may not post that often, but I do really enjoy dropping in and seeing the variety of posts here. The whole crew here deserves a big thumbs up for a fine job.

Or vice versa, as digging up news is a major hobby of mine.

Watch it Joe she never returns things.

Its actually pretty good as we have a chap there that has made a very good news wizzard that makes things very simple. Its the digging that takes the time. At least it keeps me out of trouble.

With all of the updates these days just doing news is going to be a full time job there. Finally made it to news mod there this morning.

rainbowdemon Im trying to spend more time here, but with all of the other projects on the go, I do get spread a bit thin at times. Also did you get this update yet?http://www.pctechtalk.com/forums/showthread.php?postid=125635#post125635

:rolleyes: It must have been the X painted on your back that gave you away.

No problem Mike, now the trick is to get the update.

Two of the vulnerabilities are considered medium-level risks while the third presents a medium- to low-level risk, according to security software specialist Symantec and others. Three separate patches to repair the flaws have been released and are available for download. The identification of the vulnerabilities are part of Microsoft's regular security bulletin process. Later, Microsoft will also send notices about the Messenger patch through MSN Messenger, Toulouse said. The three flaws affect different pieces of software. The first vulnerability affects MSN Messenger 6.0 and MSN Messenger 6.1 and will allow attackers to view contents of a victim's hard drive during a chat session with the victim. Attackers "could view files through MSN Messenger on their computer," said Stephen Toulouse, security program manager for the Microsoft Security Response Center. "They can do it, and you are not necessarily aware of what they are doing." Full Story here.http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1104_2-5171898.html

BRUSSELS, Belgium — Over the objections of consumer groups, the European Parliament passed a bill Tuesday to crack down on piracy of products ranging from soccer shirts to digital media. Rejecting claims that recording companies could use the measure to harass Internet file-sharers in their own homes, the European Union assembly, meeting in Strasbourg, France, used fast-track procedures to approve the bill 330 to 151, with 39 abstentions. EU ministers were expected to sign off on the new rules within weeks. Member EU governments would then have two years to write them into national law. Under the bill, convicted counterfeiters could face civil penalties, including seizure of property and bank accounts. Specific penalty amounts were replaced by language calling for damages "proportionate and sufficiently deterrent." Full Story Here. http://www.globetechnology.com/servlet/sto...ory/Technology/

The Canadian Recording Industry Association's legal fight to identify alleged song swappers is full of holes and should be dismissed, an Internet policy group claims.The music industry has ''filed no evidence whatsoever that any of the unnamed defendants . . . has ever actually purposefully ''sent' a music file to a computer that is set up to receive it,'' said the Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic in a March 5 filing. ''The mere ''making available' of a music file to another person is not illegal or infringing [copyright] in Canada.'' Last month, CRIA asked the Federal Court of Canada to order five communications companies to hand over the identities of 29 so-called uploaders, Internet users who post songs illegally on the Web. The industry claims song theft via the Internet is responsible for the sector's woes, including retail sales losses in Canada of more than $425-million since 1999. The CIPPIC, a legal group established by the University of Ottawa's Faculty of Law, won the right to intervene in the dispute last week. In its submission, the clinic claims it may be impossible to identify the alleged uploaders Full story here. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/sto.../BNStory/Front/
