Microsoft warns of specially critical lack of security
Today Microsoft which is the worldwide biggest producer of software has pointed out to
a critical lack of security in its WWW-browser Internet Explorer which has been known
for some weeks. According to the statement users can be infected by Trojans on pages
which seems to be reliable. This applies to servers which use the Microsofts Internet Information Services (IIS)
and which have been manipulated by another lack of certainty. This can be fixed by
a patch. The lack in the Internet Explorer can be only fixed by installing of a preversion
of the Service Pack 2 for Windows XP but which should not be used on computers which are
used in the production. You also can set the preferences of security of the Internet Explorer
to "high" but thus you cannot use JavaScript any longer. Those ones who do not want to
risk something should not use the Internet Explorer as long as it is not fixed.

Golem: Why Don't We Rebel Against Copyright Law - Interview with L. Lessig
"Why don't we rebel against copyright?" is the question, in relation to which Golem.de has conducted an interview with professor of jurisprudence Lawrence Lessig, who's a decisive critic of the present
copyright regulations and a member of the board of the Free Software Foundation.
In the discussion with Golem.de he talks about his vision of the culture of the 21st century, criticizes copyrights - which belong to companies, who hold onto them while the actual author dies sooner or later, and speaks in favor of necessity to have P2P exchange methods.

Update of the New Edition of the Turbo-Card Apollo 630
Matthias Bertram wrote to provide an update of the new edition of the Amiga 600 turbo-card Apollo 630 (68030@40 MHz, SIMM socket for up to 32 MB RAM, connection for 68882 FPU) through Individual Computers (amiga-news.de reported):
"There's news again on the Apollo front: I've already found 70 purchasers for the new Apollo!
About 25 other interested people have not yet decided. Should 100 units be ordered, the price will be 100 euros instead of the 130 euro price listed until now.
Jens Schönfeld has a couple ideas concerning the CPU and the attachment of the turbo-card. But he says he doesn't want to reveal more right now."

Chess Game: HellChess Released (Update)
HellChess marks the appearance of a new chess game that is free in the Amiga version, and also of all things payment-required for the Linux, Windows, GameBoy Advanced, Palm and PocketPC versions in development (screenshots).
An excerpt of the features of the program (9 MB):
- Capable AI for the single player mode
- many exercise instructions
- many configuration options
- online play possibility through Direct Connect or the HellHound master server
A PPC/RTG Amiga version is still in development.
Update: (26th June 2004, 17:52, snx)
As the author commented, the next-released version of the game has problems with AGA/ECS, therefore the archive from yesterday has been replaced with an update. To that end there's an 8-bit version of the contained animations being worked on for systems without graphics cards.

File sharing: ctorrent for AmigaOS and MorphOS (Update)
ctorrent is a console based client for the BitTorrent file sharing network.
The Amiga version has been compiled on a 68040/40. On that system, file hash checking (neccessary when resuming a download) on a 44 MB file takes about 1.5 minutes. During normal operation the CPU usage is below 50 % though.
ctorrent does not allow limiting the uploads.
Direct download: ctorrent-1.3.2.lha (186 KB)
Update: (12:29, 20.06.04, snx)
Meanwhile, #amigazeux has also prepared a MorphOS version (71 KB). Like the AmigaOS version, this port just offers a common bandwith limitation for up- and downloads.
