“Carnivore, the FBI’s controversial email snooping
program, is part of covert surveillance triad known inside
the bureau as the “DragonWare Suite”, according to
recently declassified documents. The documents also
outline how the DragonWare Suite is more than simply an
email snooping program: it’s capable of reconstructing the
Web surfing trail of someone under investigation.

According to an analysis of the declassified documents by
SecurityFocus, a California-based computer security firm,
the DragonWare Suite can “reconstruct Web pages
exactly as a surveillance target saw them while surfing the
Web”.”

“”DragonWare suite? What were they thinking?” house
majority leader Richard Armey (Republican, Texas) asked
incredulously.”

“Babies born prematurely have significantly smaller brains and may have learning problems later in life, a study suggests.”

“The risks of problems later in life increased the earlier the birth. A baby whose birth weight was less than two pounds or 1,000g was at particular risk.

“They found that children born prematurely were at risk of having lower IQs, and were more likely to need special education or have to repeat a year at school.

The risks of problems later in life increased the earlier the birth. A baby whose birth weight was less than two pounds or 1,000g was at particular risk.”

“Writing in the medical journal Chest, Dr Stephen Rennard, said that he had always found that his grandmother’s chicken soup – made in traditional Jewish style complete with matzo dumplings – had been helpful during bouts of illness.

He decided to run laboratory tests not only on his family’s own recipe, but on 13 different commercial chicken soup brands.

“They found that many of the varied ingredients of the soups helped to stop the movement of white blood cells called neutrophils, which are a key body response to the challenge of viral infections.”

“The scalability of a Gnutella network to accommodate more users performing more searches is limited by the lowest bandwidth links prevalent within the network. Usage of the public Gnutella network has grown to the point that a “Dial-Up Modem Barrier” has been hit, with the result that network usability has degraded considerably.”

“From millions of measurements of the public Gnutella network taken by Clip2 DSS over a period of months, we have become intimately familiar with the technical issues facing Gnutella networks. Our reports on these issues have been read by tens of thousands and generated considerable discussion. We are now proud to announce the availability of the Clip2 Reflector, a pivotal application that can simultaneously address some of the problems on which we have reported and expand the possible uses of nutella.

The Reflector is a super peer, the first of an entirely new species of Gnutella application. The Reflector can shield a network against unnecessary traffic from the public Gnutella network, bringing relief to network administrators frustrated by the bandwidth costs of allowing their users to run Gnutella. Using the Reflector as a cornerstone, anyone can set up an efficient filesharing system in minutes, either isolated or connected to the public Gnutella network. Public-access Reflectors connected to the public Gnutella network can simultaneously provide a better user experience for users on slower connections and improve overall network performance. Technically, the Reflector enables a brokered peer-to-peer model for Gnutella while co-existing with Gnutella’s pure peer-to-peer structure. Best of all, it is fully compatible with the majority of the installed base of end-user Gnutella software.”
