Re-Activist Judges Make Laws, Too

Re-Activist Judges Make Laws, Too 08/15/2004 05:16 PM

Dahlia Lithwick (NY Times): A ctivist, Schmactivist. Re-activist judges are the ones trying to roll back time to the 19th century. Re-activists are the judges who have reactivated federalism by rediscovering the "dignity" of states. Re-activists view Lawrence v. Texas - last year's gay sodomy case - as having all the jurisprudential force of a Post-it note. When the United States Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit upheld an Alabama ban on the sale of sex toys last month, it did so by sidestepping the logic animating Justice Anthony Kennedy's opinion in Lawrence. Ignoring Kennedy's lofty promises of sexual privacy - his assurance that "there is a realm of personal liberty which the government may not enter" - the 11th Circuit framed the case as a dust-up over the constitutional right to a vibrator.

Are the bad guys phishing while Microsoft's out to lunch? Despite the discovery last month of an Internet Explorer bug that expedites Web site spoofing, or phishing, security experts wonder why Microsoft still hasn't issued a fix. The browser is so deeply entwined with the Windows XP operating system that the company doesn't want to risk creating more problems than it solves. "Microsoft will only release a patch, when warranted, that is well-engineered and as thoroughly tested as possible, whether that is a day, week, month or longer," a company spokeswoman said.

Security Experts to Microsoft: SP2 Has
Critical Flaws

Security Experts to Microsoft: SP2 Has
Critical Flaws 08/20/2004 06:23 AM
German Internet security experts Heise Security have discovered what it calls two "flaws" in Service Pack 2. Microsoft has said its Service Pack 2 offers users the latest security "innovations," but Internet security experts said hackers could exploit cracks in SP2 defences to exploit a user's computer.

According to Heise Security, "Computer hackers could evade SP2's new security features and infect a computer that uses Windows with a virus or a worm." Heise further explains that Windows also does not source information properly if files are overwritten so that it can "be tricked to execute files from the Internet" without sparking a warning, even if users install the new SP2 update.

A Microsoft spokesperson addressed the warning by saying, "Microsoft has investigated these reports and is not aware of any instance in which an attacker could specifically bypass the service in email or a Web browser to allow a malicious attacker access to a user's system. We continue to encourage customers to review and install Windows XP SP2."
