  2. Someday a stranger will read your e-mail, rummage through your instant messages without your permission or scan the Web sites you’ve visited — maybe even find out that you read this story. You might be spied in a lingerie store by a secret camera or traced using a computer chip in your car, your clothes or your skin. Perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills, or a political consultant might select you for special attention based on personal data purchased from a vendor. story here http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15221095/?GT1=8618

  4. http://www.fbi.gov/wanted/fugitives/dt/sandiego_da.htm HAHA what the hell FBI is dumb San Diego is skilled at the use of computers to include setting up e-mail services and using the programming language LINUX. He is also skilled at sailing, particularly small sailboats. San Diego has traveled internationally. When did Linux become a programming language?
  5. If you're usingVista RC2 in Aero mode, you're still looking at more video headaches coming down the pike: Direct X 10. Figuring what you need for that is the next issue. Fortunately, Toms Hardware Guide just did a nice analysis of what that'll take. Enjoy http://www.tomshardware.com/2006/10/18/the_new_graphics/
  6. "With the recent acquisition of YouTube by Google, there has been a lot of speculation (on both Slashdot & The Toronto Star) that we are nearing the second economic bubble created largely in part by growth in the digital sector. While one may be able to debate that the revenue from advertising and sales can indeed back this growth, are we headed towards the second bubble and, if so, how hard is it going to pop? Keep in mind that popular voodoo economic theory has attributed the first bubble phenomenon to 'a combination of rapidly increasing stock prices, individual speculation in stocks, and widely available venture capital.' I think we're experiencing all those, although it is not as flagrant as it was during the first bubble. What do you think?"

  10. How much do all of our computers and electronic devices sitting in standby mode cost us? The author of the article concludes that he could save $24.44 per year by switching out wasteful power supplies. The article also touches on a global initiative to cut down on standby power, called '1-Watt': 'The idea has been promoted by the IEA, which first developed an international 1-Watt plan back in 1999. Countries like Australia and Korea have signed on officially, while countries like the US require 1-Watt in government procurement, which will have ripple effects throughout the economy. The goal of the program is to have standby power usage fall below 1W in all products by 2010.'" It's estimated that in industrialized countries, devices on standby consume on average 4% of the power used. http://arstechnica.com/articles/culture/standby.ars
  11. Root Exploit For NVIDIA Closed-Source Linux Driver KernelTrap is reporting that the security research firm Rapid7 has published a working root exploit for a buffer overflow in NVIDIA's binary blob graphics driver for Linux. The NVIDIA drivers for FreeBSD and Solaris are also likely vulnerable. This will no doubt fuel the debate about whether binary blob drivers should be allowed in Linux." Rapid7's suggested action to mitigate this vulnerability: "Disable the binary blob driver and use the open-source 'nv' driver that is included by default with X."
