Microsoft Windows XP Codenames:

04/18/2005 08:24 AMThanks <b>Steven Bink</b> for the heads up on this.. Seems
Bink has some sort of exclusive on 2 new XP clients, read on!
Microsoft is developing 2 new "Server Centric Computing
Clients" these clients are based on windows XP, so these will be
"thin" clients for Terminal server purposes.
Microsoft wants to make Windows the platform of choice for server
centric computing by offering new feature rich Windows SKUs for our
enterprise and academic customers by providing management and
servicing features parity with Windows XP Pro. These clients will
offer innovative alternative to the traditional desktop for legacy
PCs, low-end PCs, thin client devices and task workers.
Customers complain that Windows XP Pro too expensive for Structured
Task Workers. Other request are:<ul><li>Need of one set of
security, manageability & serviceability technologies across all
clients</li>
<li>Disparity of HW requires broad driver support</li>
<li>Remote Bootable (network / diskless)</li>
<li>3rd Party Anti-Virus & Management support</li>
<li>Easy Shell Lock DownSmart App Install
BlockingCodename</li></ul>

Conducting "secure" financial

Conducting "secure" financial
transactions with Internet Explorer
isn't safe
07/06/2004 04:50 AMThe latest exploit is a file called "img1big.gif" that
decompresses into a malevolent Browser Helper Object (BHO) that
captures your financial transactions. According to a report from SANS,
this BHO: watches for HTTPS (secure) access to URLs of several dozen
banking and financial sites in multiple countries. When an outbound
HTTPS connection is made to such a URL, the BHO then grabs any
outbound POST/GET data from within IE before it is encrypted by SSL.
When it captures data, it creates an outbound HTTP connection to
http://www.refestltd.com/cgi-bin/yes.pl and feeds the captured data to
the script found at that location. There are only two choices left
with IE: Either don't browse the web with it, or don't use it for
financial transactions. Thank goodness there are choices like Mozilla,
Firefox and Opera, for those of us still chained to Windows....

Chuck Baldwin, prominent Baptist pastor:
"The Religious Right Scares
Me"
12/22/2004 01:19 AMDr. Chuck Baldwin, vice-presidential candidate on the Constitution
Party ticket in the 2004 U.S. election, wrote a “Food For
Thought From The Chuck Wagon” entitled I Am A Conservative
Christian, And The Religious Right Scares Me, Too. Chuck Baldwin
starts off demonstrating his Christian roots, e.g.I am currently in my
thirtieth year as the Senior Pastor of the Crossroad Baptist Church
(Independent) in Pensacola, Florida.Then he explains his opposition to
the "Religious Right."Sadly, the Religious Right is now a movement
without a cause, except the cause of advancing the Republican
Party.[...] I used to believe that liberals were paranoid for being
fearful of conservative Christians gaining political power. Now, I
share their trepidation.

Baltimore's "Free Books!"
Charity in Dire Straits
Baltimore's "Free Books!"
Charity in Dire Straits
08/27/2004 01:28 PMI spend anywhere from three to eight hours every week sweating along
with a motley crew of local misfits, shelving, sorting, and hauling
ton after ton of written matter in a rowhouse basement in Baltimore.
We have no heat nor air conditioning, but still, every week, we come
and work. Volunteer night is Wednesday, but many of us also work on
the weekends, when we're open to the public. There are times when
we're freezing and we have to wear coats and gloves inside, making
handling books somewhat tricky; other times, we're all soaked with
sweat, since it's 90 degrees out and the basement is thick with
bodies. One learns to forget about personal space when working at The
Book Thing, since you can scarcely breathe without bumping into
someone, and we are all so accustomed to having to scrape by each
other that most of us no longer bother to say "excuse me" unless some
particularly dramatic brushing occurs.

Subway Sandwiches: "Warum sind die

the slogan used in Germany for a recent Subway/Super Size Me joint
advertising campaign. Accompanying the advert was a rounded looking
image (full size) of the Statue of Liberty carrying burgers and
fries. Did Subway go too far in this campaign, or were they
unfairly vilified for their jest?

Eolas: Legal Battle "Back To Square
One" For Round Two
Eolas: Legal Battle "Back To Square
One" For Round Two
08/20/2004 08:08 AMAs
we reported just yesterday, Eolas has lost two of
three legal disputes with Microsoft over it's patent and licensing
claims. Eolas now claims the fight is far from over and has mailed an
"office action" to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
Eolas says the patent office had wrongfully withdrawn 10 of it's
previous claims, including a
previous finding from February. Eolas attorney
Martin Lueck, of Minneapolis-based Robins, Kaplan, Miller & Ciresi
LLP, said the patent office examiner had issued a new action—based on
yet another piece of "prior art"—to reject the patent's
claims. The prior-art piece was outside the examples offered by the
W3C (World Wide Web Consortium), which brought the prior-art question
to the attention of the patent office in November 2003.
"Eolas is attacking HTML itself. This goes to our heart,"
W3C CEO Steve Bratt said. "The patent could force Web site owners
to modify their pages and server-side applications."
