- US plans to outlaw file-sharing -
A bill that will
make it a crime to swap files produced without the permission of the
copyright owners has been introduced into the US House of Representatives. The
move to make it illegal to upload files to peer-to-peer (P2P) sites comes only
two weeks after the Recording Industry Association of America threatened to
file civil lawsuits against thousands of individual computer users who
download the files. Another story can be found
here.
- Router bug threatens 'internet backbone' - A critical
software bug affecting many key internet routers
could be used to derail net traffic, computer experts have warned. Routers
are the hubs of the internet, directing traffic to its destination. The
software flaw affects the most common internet routers, those running the
Cisco IOS operating system (Major
Flaw Found In Cisco IOS Devices). Repeatedly sending specially crafted
data packets to a vulnerable router will cause it to attempt to restart over
and over again, making it unavailable to direct legitimate traffic.
- SMS Spam blocker - bmd wireless has announced commercial
availability of a solution to effectively detect,

and block SMS spam and unwanted messages from any mobile network. The SMS
Spam Filtering (SSF) platform enables mobile operators to define specific
rules that are applied to block SMS spam at the network level while allowing
customers to easily provision SMS filtering rules for their own subscription
service.
- Is the End Near for Netscape? - The death knell is sounding for the

observers and research managers, Netscape is dead.

- Gateway Launches Flat-Screen TVs - Gateway is growing its line of

model becomes available on July 24 priced at $6999. The other new plasma unit

HDTV input but can't deliver a true HDTV image (Gateway calls it an
Enhanced-Definition TV, or EDTV). The 46-inch model is due to ship on July 25

| Comments from | posted - 08:58 PM CEST - Jul,19 2003 | | it should be agaisnt law to be stupid. and punishment should be courses in logic. this way they will be less idiots on this planet. I think that most humans think illogically not logically.Because most humans are not taught to think logically. Only a handfull of humans are smart. i think the world is suffering because they are too many illogical conclusions being made. And i think the UN is weak because its filled with a bunch of cowards who will not stand up for themselves. The UN does not have the will to enforce its own resolutions. This is the worlds fault because its part of the UN. The UN is and has failed the world. | |
| Comments from tom | posted - 02:55 AM CEST - Jul,20 2003 | | no sorry, the USA has failed the world, not the UN. Ya stupid ass American. | |
| Comments from | posted - 08:36 PM CEST - Jul,20 2003 | | intelligence and logic are not the same.
people named tom should learn that. people who are not named tom should learn that. | |
