ASK SERDAR YEGULALP
Is XP "chatty"?
Dear Serdar:
I have noticed that my network activity is unusually high. Somewhere in the order of 80 trillion packets get sent out during the course of a day. Is this counter accurate? Is XP "chatty"? I have scanned my machine for Trojans and others of the sort and found nothing that would cause this.

THE MISSING LINK
Mayor's computer smitten by smut
Mister Mayor in Defiance, Ohio has some explaining to do. How did so many nasty pictures end up on his computer? There was so much porn on his and the city administrator's computers that it took investigators more than 20 hours to sift through it all to make sure there was nothing illegal in there. They found it all to be good, clean filth, but townspeople aren't too thrilled that the computer network they paid for was so smitten by smut. The mayor claims he wasn't looking for lewdness on Defiance's time. He says he simply opened smutty spam by mistake in an effort to delete it. Naughty mayor or spam warrior? You make the call!
