Computer administrators have been ordered to scan their Windows systems for the RemotelyAnywhere software program, a program military officials say could let attackers "scan, probe, and compromise additional DOD (Department of Defense) systems." Evidently some "cracked" copies of the software have turned up on DOD systems. http://searchwin2000.techtarget.com/newsItem/0,289139,sid1_gci811037,00.html 25 STATES UNITE TO FIGHT MICROSOFT MOTION | News: CNET Twenty-five states have joined the nine dissenting states to urge the antitrust case judge to ignore Microsoft's request to throw out what's left of the case. Microsoft wants to settle and be done with it, but the 34 states say the law allows them to press a case even if the feds want to settle it. The states want stiffer sanctions against Microsoft than what's mapped out in the settlement. Remedy hearings start this week -- they could drag on for two months! http://searchwin2000.techtarget.com/newsItem/0,289139,sid1_gci811033,00.html =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ADDITIONAL SEARCHWIN2000 NEWS HEADLINES All headlines, including those below, are available on our news page >> FULL STORIES: http://searchwin2000.techtarget.com/news - Analyst: Microsoft shares OLAP market lead in 2001 - Sun responds to Mundie's Liberty slur - Oops!

You don't have to remind the 2,000 members of Britain's Spam fan club that it was in the lunchbox long before the inbox. Yes, fan club. They're celebrating National Spam Week this week, reveling in the maligned "meat's" glory days -- days when you'd gladly eat it, not gladly delete it. To them and many Britons, Spam inspires nostalgia instead of nausea -- not only did many a British schoolkid grow up eating Spam, but the little can of processed protein also helped fell the Third Reich by fueling Allied troops and sustaining civilians. It also made one heckuva hilarious Monty Python skit. Spam was reborn in 1994 as a name for junk e-mail, but fans of the cans hope the meaty memories will keep forever.
