Sun: MS could make Java extinct (The Associated Press)
There's even more paperwork now in the Microsoft/Sun Java spat. Sun has basically appealed Microsoft's appeal of a judge's ruling that Java needs to ride along with Windows. Sun says Java could become a dead language otherwise -- because the market leans toward Microsoft's .NET framework. MS is supposed to ship Sun Java with Windows within 120 days of Feb. 4.

Is Microsoft delivering?

QUICK HIT OF THE DAY
The emergency repair process
Sometimes, a Windows 2000 PC just won't boot, for whatever reason. After you've tried everything else (alternate boot procedures, safe mode, etc.) you may have to go to the emergency repair process. Many tips leave it at that: Do an emergency boot. But then what? This tip, excerpted from Windows 2000 Professional, The Missing Manual by Sharon Crawford, published by O'Reilly Associates, offers some detailed info for the worst of all situations.
ASK ROBERTA BRAGG
Someone's trying to flood our server
Dear Roberta:
We have a Windows 2000 server, IIS 5 SP3 with all current hotfixes. We have around 600 sites running on it. We also implemented IP filtering. Our open ports are 20, 21, 80, 443, 1433 and 3389. Recently, we have been having problems with someone trying to flood our server. Our ports get stopped one by one. I am unable to connect using Terminal Services, and I don't have any other solutions besides physically rebooting it.
