Readers might find it hard to believe from the text of the ruling, but the result has been a huge increase in the power of judges to exclude scientific evidence from presentation to juries, based on what many scientists and other observers consider an incredibly naive (or perhaps merely self-serving) model of science./
Wow!still waiting for that compound sentence to filter through.
The company added that Spam Arrest's name so closely resembles that of its lunch meat that the public might become confused.
So they think people will get confused and think that consumption of spam is against the law and that they'd get arrested for possession and intent to distribute spam or something like that.
Is that it? Give me a BREAK people. Who eats spam anyway.

"Some companies, like psycho ex-boyfriends, tend to see relationships where they don't exist," said Chris Murray, legislative counsel for Consumers Union.
Why did he say psycho ex-boyfriends and not ex-girlfriends? Is Chris hinting at something here? Or am I drawing conclusions where they don't exist.
I was excited to read this book when I first noticed it listed as "coming soon" in the Java section of O'Reilly's site back in May. I downloaded and read the sample chapter and waited expectantly for the book to be released. I was hoping that this book would be perfect for me, as nearly all of the Java programming I have done has dealt in some way with database access, though I do not consider myself to be an expert on the subject.

Even fewer may recognize that international teams have flown a balloon in the clouds on Venus, or touched down on an asteroid. Missions have intentionally crashed a spacecraft into the moon, in hopes of observing from Earth an ejected spray of lunar ice.

Starship Enterprise remains stranded on the moon.
We have been through a trying time. As per Starbase 11's orders, we have intentionally crashed the Enterprise into the moon, in hopes of allowing scientists on earth to observe an ejected spray of lunar ice.
Our next mission is to boldly fly a balloon in the clouds of Venus.

A couple of days back somebody brought up a point on this discussion about the W32.Sobig.E@mm worm that the short lifetimes and more or harmless payloads of recent viruses is probably an indication of antivirus companies releasing viruses and worms for fun and profit.
If that is the case, the popular./ meme holds good for both spammers and antivirus people:
1. Release viruses/worms.
2. Use compromised computers as relays.
3. Send lots of spam.
4. ???
5. Profit
6. Sell antivirus software.
7. ???
8. Even more profit.
If I can operate Google, I can find anything. And with wireless, it means I will be able to find anything, anywhere, anytime. God is wireless, God is everywhere and God sees and knows everything. Throughout history, people connected to God without wires.
Drugs will do that to you sometimes, but the important thing is not to try and write articles and stuff in that "bent" state of mind. In my case, these delusions of grandeur usually pass in a few hours time. A good night's sleep should help too.
Another option would be to restrict the screener to a booth so no passing peepers can see the image, said Randal Null, the agency's chief technology officer.
Yet another option would be to make the screeners sit naked while at work, thus making embarrassment mutual.
Sorry, I should've really posted this in my parent post. The Internet Traffic Report site has a section devoted to events like the release of the SQL Slammer worm and the DDOS attack of 24th January
During all these events, a large Response time and Increased Packet loss is observed, as expected.
Observe that the Average Response time hit a peak simultaneously across all continents between 11:30am and 2:30am MST as noted earlier, which coincides with reports of the W32.Sobig.E@mm worm.
It has since deteriorated, possibly indicating, either that the Worm has some throttling mechanism, which some worms use to prevent congestion from affecting their own propogation rate.
Companies like ISS use "probes" at many locations around the world to detect unusual patterns on key Internet backbones. A persisting unusual pattern is a supposed to be a pretty reliable indicator of malicious activity.
I have been trying to do my own retrospective predection:) based on the data available at Internet Traffic Report
As far as I can make out, all the US routers are doing fine (green). The response time seems to have gone up a tad at 2am MST, but other than that I don't see anything unusual.
When I look at Asia, 5 out of the 21 routers are down (red) and the packet loss is up 2%. Does that mean, that the worm has hit Asia hard? I know this worm should clog up mainly mail servers, but I wonder how feasible it is to predict worm arrival/origin/etc based on this easily available information, assuming ofcourse that it's available realtime.
âoeWhile moving a desktop monitor has traditionally been a daunting and delicate task for consumers that deterred them from taking the unit out of the home office or den, our advanced technological innovations enable users to quickly fold the monitor up to carry with them on the road or to different rooms in the house.â
Folding up a monitor and lugging it around should be the last thing on a person's mind if he's in a den.
Like, if you're snooping around a lion's computer in his den, and he returns unexpectedly, what do you do? Take the monitor with you? Ofcourse NOT, run for your life man, and forget the stupid monitor.
From the BugTraq Post "The information we've been able to gather leads us to believe that the
trojan we have captured is not the original source of the 55808 traffic that has been seen, but is rather a "copycat", created to mimic the
behavior of another trojan or worm."
The information we've been able to gather leads us to believe that the new article we're seeing is not the original source of the odd Slashdot-generated traffic that has been seen on the Internet, but is rather a "copycat", created to mimic the behavior of another article or story.
Social Security numbers were originally intended to be used only by the social security program and
were supposed to make record keeping easier. They were never meant to function as an authentication mechanism.
The problem arose when the mapping between a person's name (or identity) and the SSN was considered confidential information, and a number of government and non government organizations started treating the knowledge of a person's SSN as an authentication mechanism.
Many companies treat the fact that you know (the last 4 digits of) a social security number combined with some additional information like the last name and street address as proof that you are indeed who the record states you are.
This is absurd. Either each individual should be assigned a secret id, which when used in conjunction with the SSN proves one's identity, or some other mechanism to verify identity should be developed.
As long as the SSN continues to be (ab)used as a supposedly public index into a database, as well as a piece of confidential information,
privacy will remain a farce.

what good is a trottoir roulant rapide.....if you are unable to talk...err walk.
Yes, yes I do. You need to be strong of heart and quick of step to emerge victorious. Courage is the key to victory, my friend.
To quote Pierre Corneille: "A victory without danger is a triumph without glory."
Also I must point out Napoleon Bonaparte's immortal words: "Victory belongs to the most persevering."
Worry not, keep persevering and victory shall be yours.
That's enough wisdom for a day...time to sleep. Good night. Spock out \\//
