...journals make their first references to "conquer play," a euphemism, prosecutors say, Obara used to describe his assaults on women. Journals between 1983 and 1995 include the names of more than 200 women, beside which Obara wrote code words, 29 of which, investigators believe, refer to drugs. Police recovered more than a dozen different varieties of drugs from Obara's homes - from sleeping pills to chloroform to human growth hormone. In his diaries, he mentions drugs frequently, at one point declaring, "I am so bored with pot, hash and LSD." But if there were any doubts about his main interest...
...with the third suspect, Yong-Qing Cheng, a vice president at the New Jersey-based IT company Village Networks. But according to investigators, the combination of Lin and Xu's insider knowledge of Lucent and Cheng's salesmanship led to the development of a business plan: take the source code for the PathStar Server, build a company around it and market it in China.

Since my combined CD and download collection is now pushing 10,000 tunes, the water...
...Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) sued the FBI last year in its quest for the source code for the Carnivore system through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), which would have enabled them to understand the degree to which Carnivore has the potential to impinge on privacy rights. But the FBI only released information on Carnivore version 1.3.4, which has reached a ripe old age and will soon be retired; there was no mention made in the report of the system capabilities of Carnivore version...
DIED. THE REV. LEON SULLIVAN, 78, forceful civil rights leader and Baptist pastor credited with helping end apartheid in South Africa; of leukemia; in Scottsdale, Ariz. In 1977, after becoming the first black director on the General Motors board, he framed the Sullivan Principles, a code for U.S. companies operating in South Africa outlining how they could desegregate workplaces and promote fair treatment of black employees. At age 10, Sullivan was booted from a Charleston, W.Va., drugstore counter while drinking a soda, an incident that inspired him as an adult to organize boycotts of racist companies. In 1964, he founded...
