Patriot's Day

THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated. Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right (not only to TAX) but "to BIND us in ALL CASES WHATSOEVER," and if being bound in that manner, is not slavery, then is there not such a thing as slavery upon earth. Even the expression is impious; for so unlimited a power can belong only to God.

  BackDoor Now Called a Bug

contributed by danders
dvwssr.dll, part of Microsoft server software with Front Page extensions was revealed last Friday to have a backdoor password within it that could allow malicious users access to the server. After originally acknowledging the problem last Friday Microsoft is now claiming that it is nothing more than bug. (Regardless of whether this is a backdoor or a bug the fact that such items are present in release versions of the code forces the user to question the completeness of Microsofts quality assurance.)

  North Carolina Plagued by 'hackers'

contributed by Evilution
The FBI has warned that North Carolina is infested with '6hackers'9 and that business leaders should be concerned. Doris Gardner from the Charlotte office of the FBI said that several machines within North Carolina had been used in the recent massive DDoS attacks and that such attacks had been launched against North Carolina business. She refused to give further details citing the ongoing investigation but promised a wave of prosecutions soon. (Just what we need, the FBI running around claiming the sky is falling.)
