data privacy automation Every system admin has lived through the same Monday morning ritual. A queue of forty tickets, half of them password resets, permission errors, or disk space warnings that any experienced technician could resolve in under two minutes. The other half require actual judgment. For years, automation promised that software would eventually sort the two apart on its own. That promise is now being tested in production Linux environments. . Early results are reshaping how IT teams think about tier-1...

A top U.S. Department of Justice official told a congressional subcommittee Tuesday that U.S. law enforcers need more resources to combat cybercrime and better laws to simplify the tracing of suspects over the Internet. Michael Chertoff, a newly confirmed assistant attorney at the Justice Department, also told the House Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Crime that tougher penalties that "are commensurate with the harm caused" are needed to adequately reflect the impact of crimes. For example, crimes such as disseminating an e-mail virus can cause "millions, if not billions," of dollars in damages to government and businesses, he said. Chertoff also said more money is needed.

Each presidential campaign was queried on 20 top technology issues, including whether the government should tax Internet sales or pay for wiring schools, and whether e-mail deserves First Amendment protection. Since some of the campaigns did not answer all the questions, we scoured their official campaign Web sites for any statements, position papers, or FAQs that explained their stands on these issues. While we expected some of the candidates to agree on a few of the issues, we were surprised by the degree to which all six candidates -- Al Gore, George W. Bush, the Green Party's Ralph Nader, the Libertarians' Harry Browne, Reform Party candidate Pat Buchanan, and Natural Law/Independent candidate John Hagelin -- expressed the same opinions.
