  • Kernel flaw leaves Linux vulnerable -  A security vulnerability discovered in the Linux kernel earlier this week leaves the OS vulnerable to communication from IP addresses previously blocked by firewalls. The flaw affects kernel versions 2.4.14 to 2.4.18-pre9 and, more specifically, a component of the Netfilter firewall software, which was recently included in the kernel.  The vulnerability affects users of IRC (Internet Relay Chat). Because the IRC program configures its firewall setting too broadly, it allows through packets from IP addresses that may have been blocked by Netfilter.

  • Lawmakers Urge Russians To Beef Up Piracy Enforcement - A group of U.S. lawmakers earlier this month urged Russian authorities to take software piracy and intellectual property theft more seriously.

The lawmakers used the pirated software to illustrate their concerns to Russian authorities, Goodlatte said.

Each of these instruments has detected the signal expected from a large amount of ice in the surface, or regolith, of Mars.
  • Picture's fuzzy for DVD - The DVD Forum has voted to approve a low-bit-rate compression format and red-laser technology for high-definition DVDs, a distinctly different approach from the blue-laser-based format approved by nine companies just last week.

It's only natural" to pursue both paths, said Jan Oosterveld (left) of Philips Electronics' group management committee.
