Standards bodies guys carping at industry guys for implementing things without waiting for a standard to be written is always good for a laugh.

Salon has a fascinating story on Bill and Lynne Jolitz, the creators of 386BSD, the original Unixlike operating system for PCs.

Lycos merger with Terra creates global blah blah blah. Lycos in top 5 in terms of media reach but falling behind AOL, MSN, and Yahoo blah blah blah. Previously discussed merger with USA Networks scrapped because blah blah blah. I can’t believe people care about this stuff unless they have some skin in the game.

Now this is funny. Malicious people can subvert the seemingly innocent Office Assistant (you know, that crazy animated paperclip) to wreak havok on your computer.

OK, this is just stupid.
