Comment Re:How big are the campuses anyways? (Score 1) 208

This legislation doesn't appear to apply to Penn State. Despite its name Penn State isn't a state-owned school. It's "state-related", which basically means it gets a lot of state support but is independently controlled. The legislation appears to apply to PASSHE, the collection of true state-owned schools (which are generally smaller teaching colleges). I suspect PASSHE has a lot less land at its disposal than Penn State does.

A New Idea, For People Who Want To See More Banner Ads 167

Jacob53 writes "Scott Kurnit is a very bright guy. He founded About.com, and has raised over $8,000,000 for his new business AdKeeper. So, who am I to judge? But his new start-up sounds more like a Saturday Night Live skit than an emerging marketplace." As someone who actually enjoys a lot of advertising, it sounds only mildly weird to me — the basic idea is to let people easily archive ads they think might be interesting for perusing later.

Submission + - Fortune 1000 Companies Sending Spam, Phishing

An anonymous reader writes: TheRegister takes a look at spam touting everything from Viagra to phishing sites being blasted out of Fortune 1000 networks. Oracle was found to have a machine pushing out a PayPal phishing scam, and BestBuy had a system sending thousands of spams a month. The Washington Post's Security Fix blog also is tracking this story, finding stock spam being pumped from ExxonMobile and from American Electric Power, among others. Another machine at IndyMac Bank was the source of spam touting generic prescription drugs. From the story: "...an IT engineer with American Electric Power, said the stock spam came from a bot-infected computer belonging to a contractor at one of its power generator plants."
