POPSDetecting Intruders on Your System Is Fun and Easy System-level intrusion detection tools differ from scanners in a couple of ways. If the IDS runs in real time, it can let you know the instant a compromise has occurred. Also, if the monitor gathers its data by reading an activity stream on the system, it can detect a range of features that a single scanner cannot. For example, scanners will not tell you that someone just entered three bad passwords and exceeded the failed login threshold.

POPS"Supercomputers could revolutionize science more profoundly than at any time since Galileo" Supercomputing has made huge advances over the last decade or so, gradually packing on the ability to handle more and more data points in increasingly complex ways. It has enabled scientists to test theories, design experiments and predict outcomes as never before. But now, the new class of petaflop-scale machines is poised to bring about major qualitative changes in the way science is done. "The new capability allows you to do fundamentally new physics and tackle new problems," said Thomas Zacharia, who heads up computer science at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee"And it will accelerate the transition from basic research to applied technology

POPSIs Google Making Us Stupid? Thinking makes my head hurt! Carr, the author of the piece, illustrates his point using a scene from 2001: A Space Odyssey, where HAL, the supercomputer, begs Dave not to terminate him. Ironically, as I was reading the article, a car commercial came on TV, parodying that same scene to advertise its GPS. And I had only just seen the ending to 2001: A Space Odyssey for the first time a few days ago--just that one scene--so I fully appreciated his point. Talk about deja vu! Or maybe I just imagined it all...
