great love stories. The first - the story of our quest for sexual love
- is well known and well-charted. The second - the story of our quest

this second love story is no less intense than the first.' What, Meryl Worry?

Now We Need To Worry About VoIP Spam
Now We Need To Worry About VoIP Spam
06/25/2004 12:11 PMWe're still trying to beat down spam, and people have been getting
increasingly worried about IM spam and SMS spam, and all of a sudden
one company is warning us that the rush to VoIP systems may lead to
VoIP spam. In other words, once VoIP is just an app
on the network, it shouldn't be all that difficult for someone to
write a script that would basically spam a voice message to millions
of VoIP systems. Of course, the company discussing this problem is
bringing it up because they've now patented a solution that they claim
will stop VoIP spam. All this really means is they've made clear the
technique that future VoIP spammers are now figuring out how to work
around.

Edinburgh Learns to Worry about Wi-Fi
Edinburgh Learns to Worry about Wi-Fi
02/11/2004 10:56 AMAnother entry in an endless series of "Wi-Fi security risk" articles,
this time from Edinburgh, Scotland: This article is only slightly
sensational, which might result from the reporter having heard these
claims for the first time about the risks of a wireless network. But
they're not too far off the mark. The biggest problem in articles that
cite the number of "open" access points, as a reader recently pointed
out to me, is that unless you connect to the point and probe, you
can't tell whether the gateway is inside or outside a firewall or has
other restrictions....

tp://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/2004-07-26-longevity_x.htmDan Koster, Web content manager for Queens University of
Charlotte in North Carolina, became a minor celebrity last spring when
he reported that 15-20% of the 2,000 CDs in his properly stored
collection suffered from what has loosely been called CD rot and would
no longer play. As people entrust more and more of their valuable
records -- everything from tax forms to family photos -- to digital
media, the idea that those reliable-looking CDs and DVDs could be,
well, less than reliable, is alarming. And history tells us that even
if the media hold up, the technology needed to retrieve the files may
not always be there. When was the last time you used a reel-to-reel
tape player? Accelerated aging tests conducted by the Library of
Congress and National Institute of Standards and Technology
demonstrate that the poorest-quality CDs may last only four or five
years; the best, more than 100. Consumers can hedge their bets by
keeping hard copy printouts of valuable documents and uploading photos
to online archiving services, but in the end, the simple truth is that
nothing lasts forever.

Don't Worry, Many In China Have No Clue
What IPv9 Is Either
07/06/2004 12:15 PMLast week, a variety of stories started appearing suggesting that
China was adopting a new internet protocol standard called IPv9.
While many in the press just went with the report, just about everyone
who knew anything about this were left scratching their heads
wondering just what the hell IPv9 was. It wouldn't be the first time
China decided to "go it alone" when it came to internet standards.
Recently there was a big international and diplomatic stink over
China's decision to use their very own, completely incompatible
WiFi
standard that had many WiFi equipment providers threatening to
completely ignore the huge Chinese market out of fear for their
intellectual property (which they would need to share with a Chinese
"partner" to help them build WAPI-compliant equipment). China is also
trying (with questionable success) to
go it alone
with their own 3G wireless standard, while the rest of the world
follows one of two standard upgrade paths. So, when the whole
concept of IPv9 started making news, it was easy to assume that
perhaps China had done it again. However, now reports are coming out
that, even in China,
ma
ny have no idea about IPv9 and suggest that it's really just a
concept being
pushed by one research group in China, rather
than any real adopted standard at this point.
