Submission + - Gamer Grub... Bawls has a new companion (tomshardware.com)

Kral_Blbec writes: "Gamer Grub will be available in four flavors considered to be popular with gamers ("Strategy Chocolate," "Action Pizza," "Racing Wasabi," and "Sports PB&J" (that's peanut butter and jelly to the uninitiated), but two features will set this snack apart from the chips, pizza, popcorn, and similar snack foods on which gamers are known to subsist: a proprietary mix of vitamins and other supplements, and a unique "delivery system" that will enable one to consume the product in the midst of gaming without leaving one's fingers, keyboard, and mouse slick with grease."

Submission + - Microsoft to Release Internal Security Tools (tomshardware.com)

Kral_Blbec writes: Microsoft will soon be letting all programmers use the same tools it does to "ensure it writes near-bulletproof code..." Aren't you excited?

"Microsoft will soon be releasing internal tools and methods it has used over the past little while. These tools were used to reduce the number of security issues in current products, and two of the tools will be free: the SDL Optimization Model and the SDL Threat Modeling Tool 3.0. Both tools will be available for download from the Microsoft SDL website in November... Use of the SDL over the past while has reduced the number of security issues in its new flagship operating system"

Submission + - Child abuse "librarian" jailed indefinatly

Kral_Blbec writes: One of the UK's largest pedeophile bust arrests 27 year old man who was the forum moderator in an online child porn ring.

"According to the Times, Thompson was forum moderator of an Internet-based child abuse ring that spanned across 33 countries, including the U.S., Canada, Australia and the UK. His position of authority allowed him to copy images to his own computer. His arrest led to the biggest investigation for child pornography that the United Kingdom has ever seen, which has led to a total of 350 suspects worldwide."

Score +1 for the good guys.
