Inflamed Netizens crash Olympic server South Koreans took to the information superhighway on Friday to let the world know their anger at the disqualification of their skater in the Olympic 1,500 meters men's short track on Wednesday. Korean Kim Dong-sung crossed the line first but was disqualified for impeding American Apolo Anton Ohno, who was awarded the gold medal. A flood of "insulting" e-mail from South Korea caused the server of the United States Olympic Committee to crash on Thursday. http://zdnet.com.com/2110-1105-843025.html http://news.zdnet.co.uk/story/0,,t269-s2104889,00.html http://news.com.com/2100-1023-842924.html FAA: Air Traffic Control Holes Plugged After flunking three congressional audits, the Federal Aviation Administration says air traffic control systems are finally safe from hack attacks.

The proposal, drafted by the Council of Europe, would essentially outlaw the publishing of "hate speech" on the Internet. Welcomed by law enforcement agencies, it has been slammed by Internet companies as impossible to enforce. http://zdnet.com.com/2100-11-843346.html http://news.com.com/2100-1023-843277.html Data protection code lays down law for IT staff IT staff have some suprising new responsibilities according to the first Data Protection code of practice, and job applicants have some unexpected rights.

Both government and citizens want pervasive computing; the difference is that citizens want to be able to turn it off. A thought has been percolating in my brain for the past couple of months.
