Jojo writes "After American Greetings got some lawyers to bring down a Penny Arcade strip (M i r r o r) last week, PA is now striking back.. IANAL, but I fear their latest strip might get them into real trouble this time." As always, PA cracks me up, but these are scary events. The banned strip is clearly a work of parody, which I believe is still legal in this country, unless that too changed recently.

Mojo Jojo writes "There's a story on developerWorks about DARPA-funded work being done at Stanford Research Institute (aka SRI International) to develop soemthing called Event Monitoring Enabling Responses to Anomalous Live Disturbances (EMERALD) -- software components that are capable of providing anomaly and misuse detection for networks. EMERALD components monitor local activity, then work in conjunction with analysis engines for visualization, response, correlation, and data logging to provide a global picture of what's occurring throughout the network. Sort of like having beat cops and police call boxes throughout your network (or something)."
