Hayden Christensen is set to quit acting to become an architect. The Star Wars actor says he plans to swap the big screen for building design - because the movie industry doesn't excite him anymore. He told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "Maybe the new Star Wars will be my last movie. "I don't find Hollywood interesting, so I'm thinking about studying architecture instead." The heartthrob actor, who plays Anakin Skywalker in the hit movie series, claims that he's had enough of making movies because the industry demands too much from its stars. The 24-year-old actor, who has been romantically linked...

GOD'S SPEED On May 4, 2005 Col. David Hackworth US Army Ret. lost his final battle to cancer in Mexico. He was 74-years-old. Hack, as he liked to be called, was a victim of Agents Orange and Blue, defoilants used during the Vietnam War. Hackworth spent 5 years in Vietnam and most of it in the field, "Bush" we called it a nickname for the jungle. As a result his exposure to these killer agents was high. Any veteran of the Vietnam War who spent a great deal of time in the field, including myself, is at risk of having...

Oh my God! I can't get into e-bay! It's the end of the world as we know it! (And you read it here FIRST!)

1) Most security breaches are caused by not following basic security guidelines and best practices. We want to put IIS 6.0 to the test to see if it is highly secure when you implement it correctly. 2) Because it's a fun way to engage with you, our audience! 3) It's a chance to share knowledge and demonstrate how to protect your system against hack attempts. Coming in our July issue, we'll publish an article "How to Set Up a Hackproof IIS" featuring Roger Grimes' recap of the contest, and sharing the secrets of how he created an impenetrable IIS environment.

'ARMY REGULATIONS WERE WRONG' David Hackworth, a retired Army Colonel, has made a career out of badmouthing America’s military brass. According to Hackworth the generals and admirals are a bunch of bums. He routinely refers to them as "Perfumed Princes" in his syndicated news columns. I first met Hackworth during my third and final tour in Vietnam in 1970-71. Hackworth was a LTC (soon to be promoted to Col.) commanding the 44th Special Tactical Zone (STC) in IV Corps. I was a Major commanding a 70 man ranger unit assigned as advisors to the ARVN 42nd Ranger Group in the...

Freerepublic's Canadian cousin, Freedominion has been under hack seige for two days now. Noxious emails to all members yesterday were followed up today first by all comments being reworded as a profane reference to Republicans, and now by the following oddball words strewn throughout all posts: 'Limecat', H4X, KHAAAAAAAAN, ROAR and AKJREJOIFJKJEWOIUOIWE

Free Dominion has been hackedassistance requested Free Republic's Canadian chapter has been hacked by a group of commie weenies calling themselves the Internet Liberation Front. Isn't that a sweet, inspiring name? So original too, I'll bet no one in the sixties were clever enough to call themselves a liberation front. They have replaced our site URL with a bunch of commie nonsense that can be viewed here. If anyone has the ability to give them a taste of their own medicine, payback will be a female dog. Of course we would never condone such an action, we would prefer to...

Julia Pearlman, Brand Republic 13:40 31-01-2005 LONDON - An exclusive Channel 4 webchat hosted by Michael Moore, the director, writer and producer of 'Fahrenheit 9/11', was almost sabotaged in a planned attack by an American right-wing organisation trying to prevent Moore speaking to fans about his film. The webchat, the only one Moore has agreed to do in the last year, was launched to celebrate the UK TV premiere of the documentary film, a controversial expose of the Bush administration, on Channel 4 but was held up for an hour while IT technicians battled to get the chat back online....

New worms spreading through MSN Messenger -- and its bundled-with-Windows Windows Messenger version -- via links to a malicious site are infecting users and leaving their PCs open to hacker hijack, security vendors reported Monday. The new worms, tagged as Kelvir.a and Kelvir.b, appeared over the weekend and on Monday, respectively, anti-virus vendors said. Both use the same mechanism to attract users and infect Windows-based PCs: they include a link in the instant message. That link, in turn, downloads a malicious file -- the actual worm, a variant of the long-running Spybot -- which opens a backdoor to the compromised...
