They've been talking about the Code Red worm on the radio this morning.
Bill Nichols : Digital Libraries in the Large
"Federation solves two problems — providing a common access method to different databases of similar data, and providing transparent access to very large distributed databases that would not be practical to concentrate in one location. Federation creates a multilayer interface between the Internet and each DB, with common high-level services and custom low-level access to each different DB. Thus all of the code can be shared except the detailed access code for each DB."

"is an XML-RPC Spell checker.
It is inspired by Sjoerd Visscher's XML-RPC Client for David Adams' XML-RPC Speller service, however it is different in that it does not involve an active middleman. The backend XML-RPC service is written in PHP..."

"These require a DOM compatible browser, no detection is being done."
Randal L. Schwartz : Developing a Perl Routine
"This doesn't sound like that difficult a task, but some interesting subtleties arose as I was starting to solve it in my head. So, I'm writing this column effectively in real time, as I would consider each piece of the problem, to illustrate effective practices at developing Perl routines."

To present and urge reasons in opposition to an act, measure,
or any course of proceedings; to expostulate; as, to
remonstrate with a person regarding his habits; to
remonstrate against proposed taxation.
It is proper business of a divine to state cases of
conscience, and to remonstrate against any growing
corruptions in practice, and especially in principles.
--Waterland.
Syn: {Expostulate}, {Remonstrate}.
Usage: These words are commonly interchangeable, the
principal difference being that expostulate is now
used especially to signify remonstrance by a superior
or by one in authority. A son remonstrates against the
harshness of a father; a father expostulates with his
son on his waywardness. Subjects remonstrate with
their rulers; sovereigns expostulate with the
parliament or the people.
