Being a Canadian, you can legally buy music online from PureTracks.
Also, now that the PureTracks people went through the Canadian license negotiation process, we can expect others to follow in their... tracks.
(I assume you can also still buy from Emusic.com, although it's nowhere near the deal it used to be.)
I don't understand why no one raises the patch size issue. To fix a buffer overflow, you've got to need what, 2K of modified code, tops? But the patch is like 2MB? Or 20MB?
In the US, where most people are still on dialup, how can anyone reasonably expect that people are going to download tens of megabytes of patches?
Microsoft should be mailing out free CDs with the latest patches.
I don't buy this "spammers will ignore the law" thing or "spammers will hide their identities". Ok at some point presumably the goal of spam is to get you to buy something. There has to be a phone number, a website, some contact point for you to give them money.
Get the spam. Find out where/what they want you to buy. Shut that down.
Every machine directly connected to the SAN will need a fibre channel HBA. If you have more than a couple machines, you may need to get a fibre channel switch. The FC gear is pretty expensive.
Also consider diagnostics - you're no longer monitoring an Ethernet network - how are you going to track down problems in the storage network?
The same situation occurs when one company "buys" another, or merges with it. You might think that the assets of the purchased company would include the software and software-on-hardware they purchased.
No.
Typically, there are onerous "relicensing" fees, or in other words, you have to buy again what you already thought you owned.

A merger ahead? Here's what to do
I use a Dell 2000FP 20" LCD. It has no TV tuner of its own, but it has VGA, DVI, composite and S-video inputs (which you have to manually switch on the front bezel). I use a VCR as my TV tuner.
If you want to get started, start by securing your home Internet connection. This will benefit you and the Internet community in general. I have a page with some information on home broadband security.
When you move to security in a business environment, in my opinion you need to frame security as a tool for risk management. CERT provides good information on handling security professionally, including their book The CERT Guide to System and Network Security Practices and a large collection of Articles, reports and papers.
If I recall correctly, it was Neil Stephenson who proposed a system like this at Computers Freedom Privacy 2000. His idea was that home users would set up cameras pointing at various areas they were concerned about (e.g. an alleyway) and that a collaborative community of users around the world would take turns watching for suspicious activity.

Um, isn't the Windows Update Catalog the replacement for the corporate update site? (note, this is different from the Windows Catalog, which lists Windows stuff you can buy).

Microsoft does have patch CDs.
In North America, Office Service Packs can be obtained free of charge on CD-ROM. Order Office Service Packs on CD-ROM
They also have a free CD as part of the Security Resouce Kit (the technet website, not the book). http://microsoft.order-4.com/securitykit
I have a webpage with more home broadband security information.

I agree.

A secure and reliable alternative to the Diebold voting machines would be a pen and a piece of paper. How much would that cost?
Instead of paying Belkin for the router, send them an ad that explains why they should pay you for the privilege of being on your network.
I'm sure they will appreciate this new payment feature.

You can already do this.

Just a note that in order to be fully covered for MS patches, you have to use BOTH Windows Update and Office Update.
The Windows Update service (automatic or manual) will not detect or install Office patches.
The key is appropriate technology.
In this case, that is paper and a pen.

Information Security Magazine will give you a sense of where the infosec business is going. On the academic side there's the new IEEE Security and Privacy Magazine and the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Security and Privacy. Also on the academic side there are the more established journals from compsec online.

The Dell 2000FP 20" LCD has four inputs: D-sub (analog, VGA), DVI, composite and S-video. Nice display.
NET SEND on Windows
This was also asked before and before that and before before that. And if you search Slashdot on "messenger", many other times besides those three.
