A CLASH WITH CONTENT
Service Pack 2 Clashes with a variety of PC programs
(via ZDNet)

Redmond's headaches haven't ceased with the release of XPs Service Pack 2 as a list of more than 40 programs are now known to CLASH with the fix which promised to plug a myriad of security holes in the OS. Ironically, SP2 also causes such AntiVirus programs as Symantec's Norton AntiVirus to crash.

The list even includes many of Microsoft's own programs including SQL and Visual Studio.Net. Many games run afoul of the fix including the popular Unreal Tournament and the playbook seems to call for Redmond to blame the game producers for not having a fix in place to fix the fix.

A complete list of the programs that conflict with XP SP2 and how to resolve the problems can be found on Microsoft's website, here.

LO, I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS ...
... even in cyberspace?

POCKET CHAPEL allows the faithful to create an altar on their desktop for worship. Users can customize the look of the altar to reflect their concepts of the Christian faith. Users can download a democ version here. No word if the creators plan other religious altars, as Islam may prove problematic if your computer at work isn't pointed towards Mecca. However, perhaps this is the way to curb the tide of internet porn.
