lordsilence writes "It seems LulzSec is now targeting CCP Games Hf with a denial of service attack. The extent of this attack is yet not known but the game cluster and EVEOnline.com website are down at the writing of this post..

A possible reason for targeting CCP could be the affiliation with Sony. CCP recently announced during E3 that their upcoming game Dust514 would be Sony Playstation 3 exclusive."

FFmpeg legal threat, from a Libav developer->

Submitted by Anonymous Coward
An anonymous reader writes "Michael Niedermayer, the head of the FFmpeg project, has received a legal threat from a former FFmpeg developer Måns Rullgård, who is now a member of the Libav project that forked from FFmpeg several months ago. The threat concerns the FFmpeg project logo drawn by Michael which resembles the one created by Måns and others for the FFmpeg project several years ago, now used by Libav."

First 3.0 Kernel Prepatch is out->

Submitted by mvar
mvar writes "Linus has announced the availability of the 3.0-rc1 kernel prepatch: Yay! Let the bikeshed painting discussions about version numbering begin (or at least re-start). I decided to just bite the bullet, and call the next version 3.0. It will get released close enough to the 20-year mark, which is excuse enough for me, although honestly, the real reason is just that I can no longe rcomfortably count as high as 40. The whole renumbering was discussed at last years Kernel Summit, and there was a plan to take it up this year too. But let's face it — what's the point of being in charge if you can't pick the bike shed color without holding a referendum on it? So I'm just going all alpha-male, and just renumbering it. You'll like it. Now, my alpha-maleness sadly does not actually extend to all the scripts and Makefile rules, so the kernel is fighting back, and is calling itself 3.0.0-rc1. We'll have the usual 6-7 weeks to wrestle it into submission, and get scripts etc cleaned up, and the final release should be just "3.0". The -stable team can use the third number for their versioning."
