CRASH TEST DUMMIES LYRICS


"Superman's Song"


Tarzan wasn't a ladies' man
He'd just come along and scoop 'em up under his arm
Like that, quick as a cat in the jungle
But Clark Kent, now there was a real gent
He would not be caught sittin' around in no
Junglescape, dumb as an ape doing nothing

[Chorus:]
Superman never made any money
For saving the world from Solomon Grundy
And sometimes I despair the world will never see
Another man like him

Hey Bob, Supe had a straight job
Even though he could have smashed through any bank
In the United States, he had the strength, but he would not
Folks said his family were all dead
Their planet crumbled but Superman, he forced himself
To carry on, forget Krypton, and keep going

Tarzan was king of the jungle and Lord over all the apes
But he could hardly string together four words: "I Tarzan, You Jane."

Sometimes when Supe was stopping crimes
I'll bet that he was tempted to just quit and turn his back
On man, join Tarzan in the forest
But he stayed in the city, and kept on changing clothes
In dirty old phonebooths till his work was through
And nothing to do but go on home

Molly.com That's why it's Called Beta:

I WOKE UP this morning to find countless emails and IMs pouring into my accounts asking me about the IE 7 beta.

Some developers are expressing relief at seeing some of the bug fixes and improvements, but of course as I’ve been expressing all along, this is a process with which we have to be patient. Expecting full bug fixes and implementation in any beta software is ridiculous, as is expecting that WaSP / Microsoft Task Force can perform retroactive miracles. more »

E-Mail Wiretapping' Prosecutions Could Increase in the Future

By Gene J. Koprowski




A federal appeals court ruling in Boston last week on e-mail wiretapping is reverberating throughout the Internet community-and legal world-with a consensus emerging that there may be prosecutions in the future for what today is considered normal business practice by ISPs.



The First Circuit Court of Appeals, voting 5-2, ruled that an e-mail service provider that supposedly read e-mail, intended for customers only, could indeed be tried on federal criminal charges.

This is True: The Lord Giveth, the Feds Taketh Away:

When William H. Irvin III received a government check for $836,939.19 in June, 1992, he considered it a gift from God since he had recently prayed for self-sufficiency. A federal court jury in Kansas City, Mo., was unmoved: it was a computer error, they said, not God, which boosted his $183.69 check to the higher amount. Convicted of knowingly spending government money, filing a false tax return and money laundering, he faces 43 years in prison and a $1.25 million fine. (AP) ...Then his prayers have been answered: he won’t have to buy food or shelter for 40 years.

Plug-and-play bots worming and warring among Windows systems

More than a dozen different worms have been created from the latest Microsoft Windows vulnerability and readily available bot software and have started attacking each other's compromised systems, security experts warned on Wednesday. “ These guys have been pretty desperate for a new exploit for a while. They had been using LSASS for too long, and been scraping the bottom of the barrel for exploits, so now everyone and his mother is now going to use this instead. ”


Joe Stewart, senior threat researcher, Lurhq The worms--which appear to come from three families of code dubbed Zotob, Botzori and IRCBot--started spreading on Sundaywithout much fanfare. However, on Tuesday, computers at CNN and the New York Times became infected by one or more variants of the worm, and the public profile of the programs increased a notch. more »
