LoveSan, II (Aug 13 2003 02:39 GMT) - A clearer explanation of how the LoveSan worm operates, from the Washington Post: Also known as "LoveSan," the worm takes advantage of a vulnerability discovered three weeks ago that affects nearly all recent versions of Windows, including Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Server 2003. Once a computer is infected, the worm installs instructions for attacking the Microsoft... |

- The Microsoft RPC vulnerability came out a couple days before I left on vacation. I read through the vulnerability notice and decided I really needed to patch the systems before I left. When you read things like: An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability would be able to run code with Local System privileges on an affected system. The attacker would be able to take any action on the system, including installing programs, viewing changing or deleting data, or creating new accounts with full privilege. |

- ResourceShelf writes about an exciting web search technology, described by IBM's Paul Horn as "Google on steroids." The company has high hopes for Web Fountain, which was originally developed for a record company. The technology reads and understands text, and uses natural language to make correlations between words. Unlike traditional search, Web Fountain searches everything on the Web, including chat rooms, when set to that parameter. In the case of the record company, Horn says Web Fountain was a two-week leading indicator of sales. |

- Richard Seal submitted a new Babel Text, Tarrâkaga. "Tarrâkaga is a agglutinative, ergative/absolutive language, with many suffixes, and some infixes. Its internal history is that it is the language of a totalitarian theocratic state; it is derived from a parent language, but artificially so - it was compiled by priests from many different dialects, with much "standerdisation" and "rationalisation". As well as a parent language, it had a sibling language (which i ditched) and still has a half-sibling language (in terms of vocabulary derivation - the grammar is totally different - its a form of creole), sketched grandfather and great-grandfather languages and an in-progress distant-cousin language. |

- Nothing against Arnold personally, but my first thought and concern as an American born and raised here in our Promised Land, is WHY would we want a German (he was born in Austria but is Germanic) in control of California on our strategic West Coast? Especially when, as Herbert W. Armstrong so correctly warned through the pages of the Plain Truth magazine and World Tomorrow broadcast [formerly headquartered in Pasadena, California], the Nazi movement only went underground and began to lay the foundation for their return with GERMANY'S FOURTH REICH (taking ugly shape and beastly form in the fascist EU as documented at www.thetrumpet.com) funded by German industrialists throughout the world who were to seek key positions to enable them to abuse their authority to further Germany's grand design. |

- From this report in the CSM But Leavitt is also a low-key administrator who has worked to build a consensus between business and environmental groups on at least some issues. Thus the Bush team might also hope Leavitt provides them a measure of cover on the environment - one area in which the president is politically vulnerable, according to polls. "There is no progress polarizing at the extremes, but there is great progress. There's great environmental progress when we collaborate in the productive middle," said Leavitt. ... |

- The "death tax," as the Republicans so cleverly misnamed the estate tax, which affects 2 percent of all Americans, has now been replaced by the Bush birth tax — if you're born in this country, you're in debt — you have to help pay back the money the Bushies took out of Social Security, plus the interest on the debts they're running up. |
