OMG... Isn't it time for an artificial intelligence tool to offer artificial common sense? To simply look at these sorts of sites and messages and say, "Hey, don't be a moron!" and shuffle the user off to someplace safe like PBSKids.org? Gullibility Rules - CIO Tech Tact - June 3, 2002

Internet:

M$ is caving on one of their monopolistic behaviors: allowing their Java Virtual Machine to be implemented in Windows XP as something other than a plug-in the user has to locate and isntall.

Why is it that features Microsoft wants included cannot be sumamrily ripped from the Windows operating system? Yet features they do not want can be ripped out? Microsoft to Include Java in Windows XP

What was ISS thinking? Give your data and concerns to the creator of the software and sit on your hands for a month except to send inquiries as to whether the company acknowledges the problem. See if they will release a patch. Problem is ISS released their own patch which does not work! Security flaw exposes holes in government-backed alert system

No, it will not stop... Sharon cannot see a Palestinian state being any good because there are too many Arabs near Jerusalem. The Arabs in the Middle East cannot see anything less that Arab control of Jerusalem because theare are too many Jews near Jerusalem. Bush’s Mideast peace plan under fire

Glad the panel involved rational people. CIPA was idiotic. Court rules library Net filtering unconstitutional

Maybe with some computer the Patent and Trademark Office will have people that understand them? Some of the most ignorant patents make it into existence. Think there should be panels of people involved various industries to determine the viability of a patent. Patent office looks to go electronic - Tech News - CNET.com

Only the most simple of systems... those created by humands are linear. Nature is by no means linear and never has been. The same reason why one cannot draw a straight line for the rate of evolution between humans and bacteria is why one does not exist for the development of networks or technological progress in general.

Good. These software vendors bitch when someone announces a vulnerability. When they are prior notice about the vulnerability they drag their feet. I would give vendors a chance and just announce vulnerabilities for vendors that obviously drag their feet like Microsoft. Patch or No, Flaws to Go Public

No patch for Windows 98 or ME? So for Windows 2000 and later Windows XP I can remove the IE icon, but no plans for 98 or ME. Windows 2000 SP3 Adds Antitrust Tweaks
