"The Washington University in St. Louis (WUSL) announced that one
of its computer science teams has developed a new
technology to stop computer viruses and worms before they reach
your system. John Lockwood and his team didn't use software. Instead,
they created an open platform that augments a network with
reprogrammable hardware, called the Field-programmable
Port Extender (FPX). "The FPX can scan each and every byte of
every data packet transmitted through a network at a rate of 2.4
billion bits per second. In other words, the FPX could scan every word
in the entire works of Shakespeare in about 1/60th of a second," said
Lockwood. Real products based on the technology should appear soon.
More excerpts and references are contained in my blog
which also includes a photograph of an FPX module." I'm a little
confused as to what the big deal is about this. It's basically doing
two things: put antivirus protection at the network level instead of
the end client, which isn't a new idea at all and using an FPGA
hardware solution instead of software (which they seem to be saying is
faster). Am I missing something, or is this not that big of a deal?

Where's The Money In Spam? In Stopping
It
12/02/2003 12:12 AMI doubt this is all that surprising, but a new report suggests that
anti-spam companies
will bring in noticeably more revenue than the spammers
themselves. Of course, creating anti-spam products actually takes
some work, whereas spam is the job of lazy people who have no longterm
vision, but just want money as quickly and as easily as possible.
Still, when you look at the amount of money spent on both sides, it's
fairly stunning just how much money moves due to spam.
Stopping Spam Patented (Again)
Stopping Spam Patented (Again)
06/02/2004 10:10 AMEarlier this year, we noted that Postini had
receive
d a patent for the incredibly obvious concept of anti-spam
filtering. Well, it looks like they may be in for some competition,
because Network Associates/McAfee has now been awarded a patent for an
idea that (sarcasm alert) no one could have possibly come up with
prior to December 2002 when they applied for it:
us
ing a combination of methods such as "filters, paragraph
hashing, and Bayes rules" to stop spam. What this really means is
that there are now going to be anti-spam patent battles which will
slow down the process of stopping spam, and do no one any good,
other than a few lawyers who will get rich. Why can't these companies
just compete in the marketplace? Still, it would be great if, at some
point, AT&T finally made it clear
why
they patented spamming itself last year.

Heart-stopping sandwich of the year
08/23/2004 06:36 AMCory Doctorow: Maxim Magazine has selected its
sandwich of the year: the Fat Darrell (invented by Darrell Butler
during his sophomore year at Rutgers University) contains chicken
fingers, mozzarella sticks and french fries. Maxim lauds it for its
"drunken ingenuity."
"So, I'm standing there eating it, and all of a sudden the guy
standing behind me says, 'That thing that guy's eating looks pretty
good, can you make me one of those?' And, it was like a movie scene,
the next 10 people order the same thing. So, I'm like, 'Whoa!' like I
think I might be onto something. And the guy is like, 'Hey, man, this
is cool.'"
That guy who assembled the sandwich was Abdul Eid, working in an R.U.
Hungry food truck, parked in a campus lot in New Brunswick, catering
to beer-soaked undergraduates with the late-night munchies.
Eid now runs R.U. Hungry Grill & Pizza, a store he was able to
open in part due to the success of the $4.75 Fat Darrell, the flagship
of R.U.'s "Fat" line.

Where's The Backup Plan For Stopping
Spam?
01/17/2004 10:47 PMNormally, if you're trying to solve a difficult problem, you have a
few different plans. If something doesn't work, you need to be ready
to move onto plan B. I've been asking since the CAN SPAM bill was
passed, how is the government planning to measure how successful (or
not) it's been - and what's plan B? Now that it's becoming
increasingly clear that
CAN
SPAM hasn't been even remotely successful - and has basically done
nothing to slow down the rise of spam, I want to know again, what is
the government's plan B? They were so proud of themselves for passing
CAN SPAM, yet they included no money for enforcement, no way to
measure how successful it was, and no plan B. In other words, yet
another law that makes for a good press release, and a good sound bite
at election time, but does nothing to solve a problem.

06/07/2004 01:56 PMJoe Schmoe writes in with a link to a story that shows that
there may be some additional benefits to driving while yakking
(though, in fairly unique circumstances). In South Africa, a man
talking on his mobile phone while driving a truck was attacked by
gunmen who shot at him. The bullet ripped through his hand,
but was
stopped from entering his head by the mobile phone. Next thing
you know they'll need to start offering Kevlar-based phones.

stopping discrimination, part
5,394--Money Talks
12/24/2003 04:53 PM "It's
good policy and good business." NYC's Employees Retirement System
(5 funds managing $78.6 billion in holdings) is targeting Fortune 500
companies to adopt policies that specifically bar discrimination based
on sexual orientation. One of them, CSX Corp., didn't even wait for
their shareholder meeting, but immediately amended their policy in
response.
These funds recently had
great
success after a decade-long battle with Cracker Barrel
Restaurants--infamous for firing gay and lesbian employees because
they don't “demonstrate normal heterosexual values."
Here's wishing an especially happy holiday to employees of those
companies that have stopped discriminating and hopes for many
more to join in. More info on this "shareholder activism" at

It was a long, long weekend in spite of not much drinking or
partying, but included an unexpected houseguest from the US and I'm
still trying to recover. I used to be young and spontaneous and now
I'm just old and cranky when the rituals that get me through the day
are disturbed. In an attempt to be hostess to the houseguest who
travelled 4,000 miles where others failed, I finally managed to see
the somewhat legendary expat junk food store in the lower level of
Kämp Galleria and I am now convinced that I am, in fact, in the wrong
line of work judging by the prices. I should open a shop called "Pimp
My Crack" in Hakaniemi filled with crap from the US and the UK or
maybe a Krispy Kreme store. The first one is always free...

For Whom the Gate Tolls?
06/24/2004 06:36 AMFor Whom the Gate Tolls? How and Why to Free the Refereed
Research Literature Online Through Author/Institution Self-Archiving,
Nowhttp://www
.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~harnad/Tp/resolution.htmABSTRACT:All refereed journals will soon be
available online; most of them already are. This means that anyone
will be able to access them from any networked desk-top. The
literature will all be
interconnected by
citation, author, and keyword/subject links, allowing for
unheard-of power and ease of access and navigability. Successive
drafts of pre-refereeing preprints will be linked to the official
refereed draft, as well as to any subsequent corrections, revisions,
updates, comments, responses, and underlying empirical databases, all
enhancing the self-correctiveness, interactivity and productivity of
scholarly and scientific research and communication in remarkable new
ways.
New scientometric indicators of digital impact are also
emerging (
http://opcit.eprints.org) to
chart the online course of knowledge. But there is still one last
frontier to cross before science reaches the optimal and the
inevitable: Just as there is no longer any need for research or
researchers to be constrained by the access-blocking restrictions of
paper distribution, there is no longer any need to be constrained by
the impact-blocking
financial fire-walls of
Subscription/Site-License/Pay-Per-View (S/L/P) tolls for this
give-away literature. Its author/researchers have always donated their
research reports for free (and its referee/researchers have refereed
for free), with the sole goal of maximizing their impact on subsequent
research (by accessing the eyes and minds of fellow-researchers,
present and future) and hence on society.
Generic (OAi-compliant)
software is now available free so that
institutions
can immediately create Eprint Archives in which their authors can
self-archive all their refereed papers for free for all forever (
http://www.eprints.org/). These
interoperable Open Archives (
http://www.openarchives.org)
will then be harvested into global, jointly searchable "virtual
archives" (e.g.,
http://arc.cs.odu.edu/). "
Scholarly Skywriting" in this
PostGutenberg Galaxy will be dramatically (and measurably)
more
interactive and productive, spawning its own new digital
metrics of productivity and impact, allowing for an
online "embryology of knowledge." This will be added to
