I'd go a step farther and say she's one of the most powerful people in the world, regardless of gender. Does she have a military, no. Industry? No. But she commands a legion of rabid, fervent devotees that would likely march into Hell on her command. And many of those devotees are powerful people in their own right.

Yes, Oprah does scare me a little.

The timing of the software release comes as the July 4th holiday is upon us and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration noted that July 3 and July 4 are among the deadliest days of the year to drive. Annouced today the software helps the existing computerized boxes locate road incidents more efficiently meaning for a large city like Columbus, Ohio, the savings could add up to tens of thousands of dollars a month. For a state like California the savings could be over a million dollars a year, researchers say. Traffic detectors — basically car-sized wire loops buried in the pavement — are already deployed in many highways to monitor traffic at key points on the road network. http://www.networkworld.com/community/?q=node/1711 2"

Cajae Worjn writes: Palm admitted recently a Linux-based version of its operating system will not be available until 2008. This is a slip from earlier expectations that the software would be out later this year. in another development, Speaking at the Mobility Summit in London, Andrew Moran, Symbian's head of enterprise business market development said that mobile Linux was "fragmentation city" and "completely unfeasible". Moran claimed it was currently too hard for enterprise users to plan deployment of open source on mobile handsets. "You would have to have a rock-solid business case to do that," he added.

Not only that, the class characters on this game can sound so weird. Four character types on this game that can be played, those are Awkward Scholar, Stout Friar, Weird Gypsy and Baker's Wife. Each of them has their own specialization."

ascendant writes: "The Register has a story up about two malware groups are fighting for turf and control over each other's bots.

Security researchers have uncovered evidence of a turf war between rival criminal enterprises connected to two of the most sophisticated malware toolkits in current use.But rather than clashing over who gets to skim money off a garbage collection contract or a major construction project, the cyber criminals are battling to own tens of thousands of compromised computers.
One trojan in the MPack attack kit is now removing a worm distributed by another group, who sat up and responded- DDoSing the server that the trojan uses to update itself.

Could this mean that there just aren't enough new suckers out there, and the scammers finally have to start fighting over the gullible set that's already been identified?"

I think slashdotters will have a hundred additional ideas that I could benefit from learning about. Read the article, then post your own ideas about how to get on line on the road FOR FREE. my idea: public libraries. If it's nice outside you can usually log on from the parking lot with fewer noisy young people to contend with; if it's hot and sweaty, put up with the kids and enjoy the AC.

Submission + - Newly Declassified Window Film Keeps Out Hackers, (sciam.com) 1

Submitted by Anonymous Coward on Monday July 02, 2007 @02:33PM

An anonymous reader writes: A newly declassified window film from CPFilms Inc. (Solutia Inc.) will give war drivers a run for their money. As printed in a recent issue of Scientific American: Once manufactured under an exclusive contract with the U.S. government, this recently declassified window film is now available to the public. But don't expect to see it on store shelves anytime soon. Currently, it's only available directly from the manufacturer, and at prices that will likely make it prohibitive for all but the wealthiest home owners. The two-millimeter-thick coating can block Wi-Fi signals, cell phone transmissions, even the near-infrared, yet is almost transparent, making it no more intrusive than conventional window treatments. It can keep signals in (preventing attempts to spy on electronic communications) or out, minimizing radio interference and even the fabled electronics-destroying electromagnetic pulse (EMP) generated by a nuclear blast.
