...will be fighting badware both in and out of the Yard. “We see spyware quite a bit,” said Erin Nettifee, the supervisor of Residential Computing for the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. “Students begin to notice that their computers are slower, but don’t do anything about it. Eventually, the problem snowballs and they bring their computer in to us,” she said. Nettifee said that Computer Services recommends several steps Harvard students should take to protect themselves, including installing anti-virus software, password protecting all accounts...
...IMPACT ON THE ECONOMY? High energy costs will shave up to half a point off GDP growth in 2006, predicts Stephen Brown, an economist with the Dallas Federal Reserve Bank--"a drag on the economy," he says, but not enough of one to tip us into recession. Still, slower growth means there will be pockets of pain. In Iowa, applications to the state's energy-assistance program are up 8%. Public schools, hit with high heating bills, are turning down the thermostat and spending less on field trips. David Callis, who grows corn, soybeans and wheat in Missouri, has seen...
...drug users mature, geriatric biology and life circumstances tend to tighten the drugs' hold. Reduced body mass, slower metabolism and less efficient kidneys and liver mean that the same quantity of drug hits harder and stays in the body longer. Older users who think they're keeping their doses fixed are thus, in effect, steadily increasing them. What's more, the loss of a spouse or job or merely the boredom of retirement could tip the nonuser into experimentation and the borderline user into full-blown addiction. Moses, 57, never touched heroin until 2001, when his wife died. But when...
...Airport. This one doubly frustrates me because these shuttles that transport students during holidays are not only useless, but they are popular too. They also hemorrhage money and leave many would-be riders behind due to overcrowding. Using the new Silver Line train from South Station is only marginally slower, costs $1.25, and allows passengers to leave whenever is convenient rather than every other hour. For those who are too delicate to use public transportation I offer another solution: have the UC set up a system to coordinate cab sharing, allowing groups of four to get to the airport easily...
...daily treks to the Science Center or Memorial Hall after a heavy rain are treated to a real, live wash down without the hand-toweling or the Turtle Wax. The depression in the brick by the gate near Canaday fills up with six inches of rainwater just a little slower than Yale Sociology majors pass out of their requirements. Lucky thing there’s a huge duct nearby that vents dry, vaguely Kinkos-scented air. A little asphalt would go a long way.Nine: Speed the trip to Mem. Hall 203. The door on the elevator traversing the shaft between...
