WordPress themes and spam and virus?

I stumbled across a magazine online called smashing magazine- www.smashingmagazine.com- they offer all these free wordpress themes- I like alot of them but I am afraid to download because I don’t want any viruses on my computer- however, they state that "all themes have been manually selected, installed and tested over the last weeks." Does anybody know what that means? Does that mean they test for spam/virus?

What is a good simple, preferable open source, reporting tool?

I’m looking for a simple (*easy* to install and use) reporting tool to generate some simple reports. I need the ability to automate report generation and reports will need simple graphics (pie chart, bar graph) and ability to include logo graphics. Open source or free wold be best, but cheap would be ok too as we’re a small biz. Our data is generated on FreeBSD systems and our client machines are all Win XP so probably best if it’s XP based. Thanks.

What kind of training do I need to use open source programing code?

Hey I want to know what kind of training will I need to use open source code from programs like Mame or Final Burn, emulators. If the rumor of the PS3 Hard Drive coming with Linux, I want to make a emulator in which people can play 4-6 player arcade games (with legal roms of course) on a TV through a PS3. I’m currently trying to get back in school to get a degree in Infomation Systems with a consentration in software, cause I want to become a game developer, but I want to start with using open source to see if I have the goods to make a good interface.

Is it possible to host multiple wordpress blogs on my godaddy account under the same domain?

I have 4 wordpress blogs that I would like to host under my godaddy account. I currently have one up, but I can’t figure out a way to have the 2nd blog up under the same domain name. I would like to have them up something like this:

http://www.mydomainname.com/wordpress1
http://www.mydomainname.com/wordpress2
http://www.mydomainname.com/wordpress3
http://www.mydomainname.com/wordpress4

does anyone know how to do this?

Thank you in advance for your help!
