Netcraft, the company that did the survey, found Solaris' share on the Web is down four percentage points over the last year.

Code Red and Code Red II have done about $2 billion in damage - and that figure is on the grow. Security experts say the worms are especially nasty because even with the patch applied and the Trojan (horse) back door removed, it's hard to tell what happened to the system while it was open.

Redmond's lawyers will claim the trial judge's anti-Microsoft comments jaded his judgement. MS will also ask the federal appeals court to put the case on ice until the High Court decides this fall whether to hear it. A delay in the case may help get XP out on time (October 25th).

In Alan Clement's noted student-friendly style, it covers core topics including Boolean algebra and logic design; number bases and binary arithmetic; the CPU; assembly language; memory systems; and input/output methods and devices.

Powerful new Windows-based simulation software allows students to visualize the design of digital circuits.

By far, most folks wore T-shirts and jeans, but come on... who really cares about them?
