According to PC World, Opera Software has filed an antitrust suit against Microsoft in the European Union, accusing it of stifling competition by tying its Internet Explorer Web browser to Windows. The complaint, which was filed with the European Commission on Wednesday, says Microsoft is abusing its dominant position in the desktop PC market by offering only Internet Explorer as a standard part of Windows, and hindering interoperability by not following accepted standards with IE.
The part about Microsoft not following accepted standards is the most interesting part. Grab the popcorn guys, this is gonna be worth watching.

Torrent freak is reporting here that Demonoid has once again been shut down by the CRIA. The Demonoid homepage has the following explanation: "The CRIA threatened the company renting the servers to us, and because of this it is not possible to keep the site online. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for your understanding."
The Demonoid IRC channel says that the site is down, but the tracker is still working.

My daughter wants an MP3 for her upcoming 10th birthday, so I wanted to pose the question to the /. community: which MP3 player would you recommend for ease of use? Drag-and-Drop to load songs on it would be best. I have an iPod and my knowledge of other MP3 players is seriously lacking. Capacity is not too important, as I was looking at something about 1GB being enough.

After finishing Half-Life 2 and Half-Life 2 Episode 1 for the umpteenth time, I am looking for something to tide me over until Half-Life 2 Episode 2 comes out. What are the best Half-Life 2 mods out there? I am looking for both single-player and multi-player.
