- The American Council on Education has published the Joint Committee of the Higher Education and Entertainment Communities' white paper on copyright law and the potential liability of students engaged in p2p file sharing on campus networks. The paper (PDF) contains this statement on the potential liability for colleges and universities. The focus of this White Paper is on the potential liability of those actually engaged in P2P file sharing rather than on colleges and universities that operate the computer networks over which the file sharing occurs. It is worth noting, however, that these institutions may face claims of contributory or vicarious liability from the conduct of their students. Such cases would likely raise questions about the institution’s knowledge of the conduct, contribution to the conduct, ability to control the conduct, and whether or not the institution obtains a direct financial benefit from the conduct. |

- This week has proven to challenge every bit of my patience. From work, to personal issues, to stupid little crap happening, like my shower head nozzle popping off just as I started the shower yesterday morning, causing me to get hot water in my eyes and flood the bathroom. Work has been busy and I have a presentation to do tomorrow. I can't wait to drink myself into a stupor on Friday. My landlord decided to sell my place. |

- To use Google's built-in calculator function, simply enter the expression you'd like evaluated in the search box and hit the Enter key or click the Google Search button. The calculator can evaluate mathematical expressions involving basic arithmetic (5+2*2 or 2^20), more complicated math (sine(30 degrees) or e^(i pi)+1), units of measure and conversions (100 miles in kilometers or 160 pounds * 4000 feet in Calories), and physical constants (1 a.u./c or G*mass of earth/radius of earth^2). You can also experiment with other numbering systems, including hexadecimal and binary. |

- With a publicly available search engine, a few well-chosen e-mail addresses, and off-the-shelf viral code, anyone can commit an act of cyberterrorism--or so says Roelof Temmingh, technical director of SensePost, a South African computer security company. Speaking at the recent Black Hat Briefings and Defcon 11 conferences, Temmingh explained that the current methods of assailing computer networks--denial-of-service attacks (DoS) or remote break-ins--inconvenience too few people to really impact a nation's information infrastructure. The sort of exploit that could really hurt a country, Temmingh suggests, would more likely be based on e-mail viruses, a concept he outlined in a recent paper. (Meryl) |

- In between finally getting a new version of my work site ready to go, and continued work on my personal business site, I've been a busy girl. I'm pretty excited about the work site. Our entire team worked really hard for more than six months, rebuilding everything from scratch, including a new interface. After three years, I've finally earned the autonomy to make the majority of interface decisions on my own, which means that a lot of what's there (the bad and the good, hopefully) was shaped or influenced by little old me. Not that it's by any means perfect,... |
