...network is desirable, a short online reading and quiz--similar to the network quiz taken at the beginning of the year--would be more convenient and appropriate than a 20- to 30-minute lecture, especially since those asking for a firewall exemption will largely be familiar with the concept of bandwidth constraints. A system that enabled students to change their firewall status online, without human intervention, would also be extremely useful for students away from campus who realize that they need access to their machines. In any case, we are glad that HASCS has accepted the principle that students should...
...Blame it on Furby, the furry noisemaker that came out two years ago and sold more than 40 million units. Or Aibo, the $1,500 robot dog that generated 40,000 advance orders in just four weeks last fall. Clearly, robots have profound consumer appeal.

But what was significant about this attack was the technique - a remote-controlled antitank mine buried in the asphalt. This goes way beyond the concept of "random revenge attacks." It required a high level of technical sophistication and organization. And that means it was a message to KFOR, too - that the NATO-led peacekeeping force is also vulnerable. Those who carried out this attack could just as easily have blown up a KFOR vehicle...
During the question and answer period that followed the speakers, several audience members thanked the speakers for sharing their stories and quizzed them on a range of topics--from how to implement their offered solutions to how to teach the concept of diversity in schools...
