Instead of finding alien life, some may find spam -- not the canned variety, but the junk that clutters inboxes. An unknown hacker broke into SETI's servers and stole the email addresses of an unknown number of SETI@home participants. SOURCE: AS400 Network (Free registration to this site required.) http://www.as400network.com/nwn/story.cfm?ID=10430 [2] "IBM continues courting ISVs, expands BroadVision alliance" IBM's expanded alliance with BroadVision could put the pinch on BEA Systems since, BEA's WebLogic competes with IBM's WebSphere in the application server market. IBM has formed numerous alliances with ISVs in the last year in an effort to bolster its software sales by tying its middleware products to big-selling applications from such vendors as Siebel Systems, Peoplesoft, Ariba and J.D. Edwards.

It's hilarious" Ever seen the MPEG of that portly office worker who becomes angry at his computer and eventually smashes his helpless monitor before sending it flying out of camera range? Since 1997, viewers have wondered whether the clip came from a surveillance camera or if it was really a hoax. Well, it's actually a little of both as it came from an advertising campaign for surveillance computers from Loronix Information Systems in Durango, Colo.
