<www.hexus.net>According to the German website dialerschutz <http: there is a spam mail currently doing the rounds on the net that masks itself as a Microsoft news flash reporting the release of DirectX 9. Translated, the mail reads:
Yesterday, 19.04.2002, we completed our DirectX 9.0. In your own interest, you should update your system with this new version as soon as possible. Our free update is available for all operating systems.
This is a fake spam email and if you follow the download link you will end up downloading a 0190 (pay-per-call) dialer of the company Interfun.

For all the nForce motherboard owners and fans out there, a new website dedicated to the nForce chipset has been launched called nForcersHQ <www.nforcershq.com

A new version of SpeedFan (4.05), the freeware program that monitors fan speeds and temperatures in computers with a known monitoring chip as well as the ability to control the speed of the fans according to the temperatures inside your pc, thus reducing noise and power consumption is out. The new features are :
added full support for SIS635, SIS645, SIS735, SIS740 and SIS745. This means, for example, that you can read values from your ASUS P4S333 :-)
added support for FSB changing. Currently there are only a few motheboards and PLLs that are supported. On my ABIT BP6, LUCKY STAR 6LX2 and ECS K7S5A it's working pretty fine :-)
WINBOND W83791SD is now properly detected, thus avoiding detection of unknown chips at the same address
those two buttons in the CONFIG dialog should now properly show even with large fonts
added context-sensitive help (available pressing F1) which includes the tutorial
the installer/uninstaller now removes every trace from both the HD and the registry
added some new code to better reset Intel SMBus
added some tips that can be disabled after their first appearance
added preliminary ADM1024 support (please, send reports)
Download SpeedFan here <www.almico.com

I found a excellent program recently called ASFRecorder, which will allow you to download and save all those streaming Windows MediaPlayer files. Here's the full description:
This tool enables you to download streaming content in Windows Media Format
to your hard drive. The resulting files will be in ASF format and can be
played with Windows Media Player and derived tools.

You may call this the 'DeCSS' for Windows Media - although neither any
serious reverse-engineering nor any particular knowledge about protcols was
necessary to program this simple application.
There are more detailed instructions in the readme file that is included with the program. Grab it here <www.xp-erience.org
