comment on the book being reviewed because I haven't read it, but I know you can't go far wrong with Inoculate your network against the viruses, worms, and Trojans of today -and tomorrow. Virus writers are becoming craftier and more numerous every year, resulting in huge losses-in revenue, data, productivity, and reputation-for companies and organizations around the world. Going beyond the partial xes of today's off-the-shelf security solutions, this book delivers the hands-on strategies and tactics you need to foil malicious code-and protect the integrity of your network. Drawing on his day-to-day networking experience, security expert Douglas Schweitzer describes the threats-both current and projected-and offers detailed, practical advice for securing BIOS, boot sequences, e-mail, instant messaging, Web servers, and more. It's all you need to lock out viruses-and lock down security for your network. You'll learn how to:
* Understand the threat virus writers and hackers pose
* Get a handle on various types of malicious code
* Protect BIOS, booting, le systems, memory, and other basics
* Secure e-mail, browsers, and le sharing
* Eliminate virus threats to instant messaging
* Mobilize staff against the threat of viruses and social engineering
* Strengthen rewalls, intrusion detection, and data recovery
* Defend against server-side exploits
* Prepare for cyberterrorism and the viruses of the future
The companion Web site contains multiple links to security software solutions. A must for anyone with a small to medium sized network who wants to get caught up with the latest in network security.
Of course whether this works or not depends on how many people use it. Time will tell if it suceeds or fails. Absolutley. The success of a product or service always depends on if it's in demand and if the company or people providing the product or service are doing what they set out to do, be it making money/getting a group of people to do a certain thing/whatever.

I can't see this being any good. I'm sure it'll all be very nice for a couple days, seeing stuff you recognise from the film etc, but I doubt this will be much fun after the excitement of the novelty has worn off.
it seems Apple is relying on iTunes to drive iPod sales rather then being a profit centre on its own In supermarkets this type of thing is known as a loss leader, where something is relied on for boosting sales of another product rather than making money for the company.
I didn't paticularly enjoy the Fanimatrix, I just hope they can do better with this one. (and yes I know the fanimatrix isn't a spoof, but it was made by fans).
Only 1,000,000 more to go! Not atall. He was one of the biggest Nigerian spammers (if not the biggest!), and even IF there's 1,000,000 more to go, it's still one less, which can only be a good thing.
The incorrect link was a typo, anyone reading the link would be able to go to the right address themselves. If you think you should disable the messenger service instead (although this would still leave you open to attacks from hackers, and I strongly recommend the use of a decent firewall aswell) the following steps can be taken:
Windows 2000
1. Click Start-> Settings-> Control Panel-> Administrative Tools->Services 2. Scroll down and highlight "Messenger" 3. Right-click the highlighted line and choose Properties. 4. Click the STOP button. 5. Select Disable or Manual in the Startup Type scroll bar 6. Click OK

QUOTATION: I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.
ATTRIBUTION: Voltaire [Francois Marie Arouet] (1694-1778), French philosopher, author.
[note: the first part of the following sentence is missing in the online original]
what you write, but I would give my life to make it possible for you to continue to write."
Real name Francois Marie Arouet.

Beatrice Hall
I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.
-- The Friends of Voltaire, 1906
The phrase "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it" is widely attributed to Voltaire, but cannot be found in his writings. With good reason. The phrase was invented by a later author as an epitome of his attitude. It appeared in The Friends of Voltaire (1906), written by Evelyn Beatrice Hall under the pseudonym S[tephen] G. Tallentyre....
Hall wrote:...The men who had hated [the book], and had not particularly loved Helvetius, flocked round him now. Voltaire forgave him all injuries, intentional or unintentional. 'What a fuss about an omelette!' he had exclaimed when he heard of the burning. How abominably unjust to persecute a man for such an airy trifle as that! 'I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it,' was his attitude now....
Hall herself claimed later that she had been paraphrasing Voltaire's words in his Essay on Tolerance: "Think for yourselves and let others enjoy the privilege to do so too." -- http://www.plexoft.com/SBF/V02.html
I may disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to mis-attribute this quote to Voltaire.

8. Finally, the pertinent section from the page Grumer cites (http://www.plexoft.com/SBF/V02.html) that purports to explain how Beatrice Hall came to attribute the quote to Voltaire:
The phrase ``I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it'' is widely attributed to Voltaire, but cannot be found in his writings. With good reason. The phrase was invented by a later author as an epitome of his attitude.
It appeared in The Friends of Voltaire (1906), written by Evelyn Beatrice Hall under the pseudonym S[tephen] G. Tallentyre. Chapter VII is devoted to Helvetius (1715-1771), whom she depicts as a kindly, generous person, with a hint of more talent to raise him above mediocrity. He married and settled in the sticks, with a new wife who was unfashionably old (32), and they were happy. This was ended by his tragic aspiration, to earn some small glory for himself as a philosopher.
In 1758, he published ``De l'Esprit,'' which Hall renders ``On the Mind.'' From the little Hall says of it directly, I take it that this was a moral-relativist tract, adducing bad social conditions as the cause of immoral behavior, regarding humans essentially as animals, and skeptical of the validity of moral claims generally.
This was unpopular with everyone - secular philosophers, all of the church, the government. It certainly got him noticed, but not by all at once. Voltaire immediately regarded the work as a serious disappointment from one who had been a somewhat promising protege. He was most insulted to have been compared in it with lesser intellectual lights (Crebillon and Fontenelle). It was widely criticized by other wits

did you decide to stop producing the Red Hat 'standard' distro, when it was the leading desktop distro?
Of course whether this works or not depends on how many people use it. Time will tell if it suceeds or fails.
