Outside – MMORPG of the year
Why spend the monthly charges on those expensive MMORPGs when you have “Oustide” which is free and possibly the MMORPG of the year.
All the features are so true too. Fully PvP rawr! The penalty of death sucks though – if you thought the experience point penalty in EverQuest was bad, think again

Scripting is baaaad
So, on Monday I reported on why you shouldn’t allow Flash on your network with the article: Nmap 127.0.0.1: Flash Style . Kind of hinting toward how a malicious site could scan your internal network without triggering your firewall, IPS/IDS, or sometimes even a host based firewall/ips.

Nmap 127.0.0.1: Flash style
A design flaw found in ActionScript (Flash) has been allowed the scanning hosts via trial and error.
