ABC News: Get Credit: College Offers YouTube Class - 0 views
-
Here's a dream-come-true for Web addicts: college credit for watching
YouTube.
Pitzer College this fall began offering what may be the first course about
the video-sharing site. About 35 students meet in a classroom but work mostly
online, where they view YouTube content and post their comments. -
She hopes the course will raise serious issues about YouTube, such as the role
of "corporate-sponsored democratic media expression." -
YouTube is "a phenomenon that should be studied," student Darren Grose said.
"You can learn a lot about American culture and just Internet culture in
general."
Slashdot | Storm Worm More Powerful Than Top Supercomputers - 0 views
-
Stony Stevenson writes to mention that some security researchers are claiming
that the Storm Worm has grown so massive that it could rival
the world's top supercomputers in terms of raw power. "Sergeant said
researchers at MessageLabs see about 2 million different computers in the botnet
sending out spam on any given day, and he adds that he estimates the botnet
generally is operating at about 10 percent of capacity. 'We've seen spikes where
the owner is experimenting with something and those spikes are usually five to
10 times what we normally see,' he said, noting he suspects the botnet could be
as large as 50 million computers. 'That means they can turn on the taps whenever
they want to.'"
StormWorm botnet lashes out at security researchers - Boing Boing - 0 views
-
The Storm Worm botnet (thought to be the largest network of compromised machines in the world) has begun to figure out which security researchers are trying to disrupt its command-and-control systems and knock them offline with unmanagable crapfloods from its zillions of zombie machines.
The worm can figure out which users are trying to probe its command-and-control servers, and it retaliates by launching DDoS attacks against them, shutting down their Internet access for days, says Josh Korman, host-protection architect for IBM/ISS, who led a session on network threats.
“As you try to investigate [Storm], it knows, and it punishes,” he says. “It fights back.”

In summary, Homo erectus is a well-documented, well-dated, and widespread hominid intermediary fossil antedating Homo sapiens.
-
It is important to recognize that while this article notes that some modern appraisers (read: creationists) reject homo erectus, they have done so only by ignoring most of the fossil record. See the last 3 paragraphs for a summary of the position of this paper.
