Wikileaks finds cash to continue
,----[ Quote ]
| The site stopped publishing leaked documents
| in December in order to concentrate on a
| pledge drive, aimed at rising a minimum of
| $200,000 to keep the lights on, and $600,000
| if staff were to be paid. Wikileaks also
| canvassed for technical support and legal
| help.

Anonymity and the Internet
,----[ Quote ]
| The problem is that it won't work. Any design
| of the Internet must allow for anonymity.
| Universal identification is impossible. Even
| attribution -- knowing who is responsible for
| particular Internet packets -
| - is impossible.
| Attempting to build such a system is futile,
| and will only give criminals and hackers new
| ways to hide.

Microsoft still fighting claim it distributed 'spyware' to XP users
,----[ Quote ]
| The plaintiffs allege that Microsoft
| improperly distributed the Windows Genuine
| Advantage tool, without proper consent from
| users, in a manner normally reserved for
| "high priority" security updates. WGA, as
| it's known, tests to see if a copy of Windows
| is valid and delivers warnings if it doesn't
| pass. Microsoft's Automatic Update system
| lets users opt in to receive fixes and
| patches for the operating system.
