Robber Baron writes "I remember years ago watching a cartoon in which an inventor had managed to create 'portable holes.' Now along those lines, according to [0]this story in the [1]Christian Science Monitor, scientists are on the threshhold of developing the 'do-it-yourself black hole' (Well, no, it's not quite do-it yourself as you need a pretty large collider to pull it off.) They're hoping to use the new
[2]Large Hadron Collider at the [3]European Center for Nuclear Research
to create many tiny black holes and observe the Hawking Effect as they dissipate. Keep your shotgun handy though, as they are more than likely going to open up a portal into another dimension and all sorts of nasties are going to come pouring out." Links

E.U. Agrees To Launch Galileo Satellite Location System http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/05/26/2335202

waimate writes "The European Union [0]today decided to go ahead with Galileo, the constellation of 30 satellites which will compete with the U.S. GPS system. The U.S. abolished [1]selective availability three years ago partly to make GPS more useful for all mankind, but also to dissuade other countries from developing their own navigational satellite system, and thus be dependant on the U.S. for both peaceful and military purposes. Since the demise of the Russian [2]GLONASS system, GPS is the only game in town. Evidently recent events make Europe feel less comfortable about such things, and so they're building their own. Good thing for commercialization of space, or bad thing for world peace?"

Microsoft's Software Philanthropy: The Goodwill Ploy http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/05/26/2225203

bethanie writes "The New York Times has printed a story concerning Microsoft's plans to '[0]significantly increase its donation of software to the nation's nonprofit organizations, to a level that may approach $1 billion annually in the next three to four years. ...But the increase has also drawn objections from developers of 'open source' programs (programs for which the source code is freely distributed). Those critics say they believe Microsoft is using a giveaway strategy to undercut the so-called free software movement in the potentially promising nonprofit market.' What do you think? Is it true philanthropy or just another tactic to assimilate everyone into the MS collective?" Links

of current keyword-based filtering. It's slightly ironic that the BBC, through the commissioning of Monty Python, also gave 'spam' its name. Those Vikings have a lot to answer for." Links

Cyber Insurance Between the Lines
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/05/26/1922231

Shackleford writes "Security Focus has an article that discusses
[0]insurance policies regarding 'computer attacks and cyber sabotage.'
It discusses a case in which an administrator who set up back doors in the system with which he was trusted deleted files to which he could access after he was fired. His company had insurance against dishonest acts by employees, but not against 'acts of destruction.' Eventaully, the company won, but the case went to litigation. So the lesson to be learned here is that your company may have 'cyber insurance' without knowing it, but you need to be sure about it." Links
