The anti-evolution Creation Museum opened last weekend and there's already an amusing report from a skeptic, complete with lots of pictures. 'There were posters explaining just how coal could be formed in a few weeks as opposed to over millions of years, and how rapidly the biblical flood would cover the earth, drowning all but a handful of living creatures. The flood plays a big part in the museum's attempt to explain away what we see as millions of years of natural processes. There was also an explanation as to why, with only one progenitor family, it wasn't considered incest for Adam and Eve's children to marry each other. ' (I liked the picture of the velociraptor grazing peacefully next to Eve in the Garden of Eden myself.)

Ars Technica has a story on Phantom Entertainment (formerly Infinium Labs), the company behind the never-released Phantom console and lapboard. So far, the company has burned through over $73 million in cash without earning a cent of revenue. 'Amazingly, Phantom lives on, a testament to just how long a company can survive without cash when it simply stops paying creditors. The company is down to three full-time employees but still hopes to launch its Phantom Wireless Lapboard in September — if it survives that long. When Phantom's outside auditors prepared its most recent financial statement for the year ended on December 31, 2006, they "expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern."'

[01-Jun-2007] The PHP development team would like to announce the immediate availability of PHP 5.2.3. This release continues to improve the security and the stability of the 5.X branch as well as addressing two regressions introduced by the previous 5.2 releases. These regressions relate to the timeout handling over non-blocking SSL connections and the lack of HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA in certain conditions. All users are encouraged to upgrade to this release.
