P2P Apps Share Spyware [wired.com]

Users of popular file-sharing applications may unknowingly be sharing more than just their collections of audio files. A Trojan horse program masquerading as an advertising application was included with recent versions of programs BearShare, LimeWire, Kazaa and Grokster. The Trojan, dubbed "W32.Dlder.Trojan" by antiviral companies, is contained within an application called "ClickTillUWin" which promises users a chance to win prizes. According to antiviral firm F-Secure, Dlder tracks URLs that users visit and posts them to a website. F-Secure reported that the Trojan also opens a security hole on infected systems by downloading and activating executable files. "We were told that this installer just created the icons and shortcuts for the ClickTillUWin promotion," Greg Bildson, chief technical officer at Limewire, said in an e-mail. "We rely on Cydoor to deal with our ad deals and bundled software. We assumed that they did their homework on this package but that does not seem to be the case," said Bildson. <snip> http://wired.com/news/privacy/0,1848,49430,00.html

I've only seen the 1956 version with Edmond O'Brien, not the 1984 version with John Hurt.

Hayek suggests that economic reasoning is likely to lead to conclusions in conflict with universal human instincts and simplistic visions of a happy society. Indeed, we see in this address from 1944 the kernel of ideas that Hayek developed over the subsequent four decades, ideas about the tension between the values of traditional society and the desirable rules for modern society. Hayek (p. 47) cautions his young-economist auditors that in economics "the ruthless pursuit of an argument will lead you almost certainly into isolation and unpopularity." The economist "must not look for public approval or sympathy for his efforts." Hutt's counsel is equally dispiriting. He says that the libertarian-oriented economist must "be aware of a periodic recurrence of a sense of utter helplessness": On all sides he thinks he sees the survival of ignorance and confusion of thought on matters which affect human welfare; and he feels that nothing that it is within his power to do or say can have the slightest effect in checking the accumulation of wrong ideas and false policies which they bring forth. He recognizes that in spheres in which policy and ...action can be influenced, he is doomed to virtual dumbness to-day. He does not attempt the impossible. He seldom protests, for experience and history have taught him that protests are without avail and merely damaging to his reputation. He realizes that persistent opposition to the popular illusions of his time will simply bring him the notoriety of a crank . . . (Hutt, p. 34). Yup. The sense of frustration and despair is greatest for those economists who take part in public discourse. One of Hutt's section headings reads: "It is as a critic of actual affairs that the economist is most aware of his ineffectiveness." Although statist thinking has, in recent decades, not continued to advance the way it did when Hutt wrote, and although Milton Friedman has had no apparent difficulty in remaining cheerful in his conversation with the public, the fundamental problems described by Hutt and Hayek remain highly pertinent to libertarian economists today Klein in aug 2000.end paragraph...Economists ought to think harder about the economics of Economics. Mmm,should reporters think harder about the reporting of reporting? Daniel B. Klein (dklein(a)scu.edu) is associate professor of economics at Santa Clara University. He is editor of What Do Economists Contribute?, recently published by New York University Press and the Cato Institute. From Economists' Misplaced Faith in an Invisible Hand (reporter declan keeps faith with own hand.) He has written for such "Everyman" policy organizations as Brookings, Cato, Reason, Institute of Economic Affairs, Independent Institute, and the Foundation for Economic Education. His email address is dklein(a)scu.edu.About Santa Clara Santa Clara University is a private, Jesuit university. Many valley residents will never forget the catastrophic flooding which ravaged parts of Santa Clara County during the El Nino storms of the early 1980s. The severity of the damage encouraged voters to pass a 1986 ballot measure creating a flood benefit assessment to fund an accelerated flood protection construction program. Since then the district has worked diligently toward achieving the maximum amount of flood protection for valley residents its budget would allow. The average homeowner in Santa Clara County is assessed between $17 and $59 a year, and the average business between $139 and $474 a year. In addition to those funds, during the past 20 years the water district has successfully pursued and secured more than $200 million in state and federal money for local flood protection efforts. As a result, flood protection projects have removed the danger of flooding from thousands of homes and businesses However, a revenue shortfall of nearly 40% remains an obstacle to full implementation of these crucial programs. The board is soliciting input from the public on support for future funding mechanisms to ensure seamless program implementation in 2001. Hopefully the next flood will take all jesuit academics,libertarians,anarcho-crapitalists and phoney reporters far,far out to shark infested and stormy seas.

New TIME persyn of the year.

Yoel Marcus's man of the year.(extracts) The "butterfly affect" has been proved true.A new year has begun in which lone individuals are capable of changing,or at least disrupting,the new world order.At any given moment there is someone in the world plotting to screw the system.The more technologically advanced the country, the more vulnerable it is in the face of obsessed loners,Ideological fanatics and maniacs. Capturing or killing Osama bin laden wont halt the phenomena or lessen the risk.Maybe just the opposite.At a time when every psychopath is king,when civilization is the target and at a loss for what to do,the person of the year is the anonymous loner masterminding the next terrorist spectacular.(published in Ha'aretz and the age.) -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- GMC d-(--) s:+ a?

Future Gnu's

Birthdays;Mel gibson,robert loggia and dabney coleman.Future Gnu's February 4, 2002 An 86 year-old Amish woman on a Florida to Ohio flight detonates a bomb in pants disguised as battery operated light-up "Viva Las Vegas!" panties. The last video image from black box shows her knocking over stewardess and tearing off dress before detonating explosive. All passengers on board are killed. 25 people on the ground are also killed by falling debris. As a result, all passengers are required to remove their undergarments for inspection in makeshift, screened rooms. Flights are delayed for up to 3 days as lines of irritated passengers wait to be stripped naked by convicted felons (it is discovered that 89% of airport security employees are ex-cons and parolees). February 13, 2002 While passengers are still being strip searched in American airports, a man on United flight 302 from Philadelphia to New York belly flops in the center isle, setting off the nitro-glycerine that his clothes were later found to be soaked in. In a move that outrages the few surviving civil rights organizations, FAA requires all passengers fly in the nude and forgo any in-flight snacks as FBI demonstrates on live TV how a peanut can be used to kill a grown man. June 3, 2002 While Bush is on live TV proclaiming his success in clearing the world of terrorism (UN and US intervened in Indo-Pakistani conflict and accidentally dumped large Anthrax stockpiles and nuclear weapons on all of the Middle East. It was labeled "colateral damage") a woman detonates a tube of explosives concealed in her anal cavity. 300 people on board are killed as well as 263 on ground as wreckage rained down on a Shriner's parade in Utah. All fliers are now required to submit to a body cavity search before boarding plane. July 4, 2002 A naked couple on Alaskan Airlines Flight 65 uses a two-in-one explosive compound to destroy the plane. The man had clear, odorless coating of one chemical on penis, and the woman had second chemical douche before boarding the plane. Flight footage shows couple engaging in intercourse, successfully combining two benign chemicals and forming one super explosive chemical that equaled the power of 5,000 pounds of TNT. Passengers are now required to wear an electronic chastity belt that dissolves the wearer's genitals with a highly corrosive acid at the first signs of arousal.
