Electronic attack slows Internet from CNN.com.
“Traffic on the many parts of the Internet slowed dramatically
for hours early Saturday, the apparent effects of a fast-spreading, virus-like
infection that overwhelmed the world's digital pipelines and interfered
with Web browsing and delivery of e-mail.”
From another source, Michael Bacarella from Netgraf
Corp: “the worm seems to be attacking My-SQL db as well.
All admins with access to routers should block port 1434 (ms-sql-m).”

Major
problem reported with Safari from <Slashdot>
“There have been many problems reported with Safari
on Apple’s discussion boards. The two most prominent are that option-clicking
on a link to download can replace your Home folder with the downloaded
file, effectively nuking your Home folder. The other has been reported
as a printing problem, but is far worse. The printing problem occurs
because Safari deletes /tmp, which is a link to /private/tmp.”
Now
if you think a Safari is out
of price or league or impossible... BUT you're a Mac user, check the
news! Don't forget it's a beta.
ROFL
following a thread on a list about restricting access to content and
page-redirect for 404 - you've gotta read this jewel:
“One of there-occurring themes that appear on design
lists is hiding content , or making one s code invisible. Most of the
solutions just don't work. The internet is not about hiding stuff. But
in the interest of fairness I can offer a proven method of hiding content...
don't publish it!” From one of my fav all around byte
philosopher aka the head lemur.

This
is a new site our PXL>table designed.
Why it might be of interest is the fact that it is completely tableless
(xcept for forms), that it validates and is css + W3C (xhtml)
compliant. Though challenging to build, the site is viewable even with
dire Netscape 4.x versions.
In reference with the recent display of boring to death sites that are
alas compliant but look like it's 1994 all over again and heated discussions
in lists about becoming tableless, this example is a step towards being
compliant and visually appealing.
