Sep. 15th, 2005 09:15 amI did a little research (Google is a wonderful thing) and figured out why people have been calling my business for Katrina relief.
The number they need to call is not toll-free. The area code they need is 901. So now when people call for assistance, I can give them the number they really need.
Seriously, though. People have lost everything they own, and the feds can't even cough up a toll-free number?

Sep. 15th, 2005 12:03 pmSounds from typing could be security risk-study
Sounds from typing on computer keyboards are distinctive enough to be decoded, allowing security breaches caused by "acoustic snooping," University of California, Berkeley researchers said on Wednesday.
The researchers said they were able to feed sound recordings of typing on keyboards into a computer and use an algorithm to recover up to 96 percent of the keyboard characters entered by typists.
"It's a form of acoustical spying that should raise red flags among computer security and privacy experts," said Doug Tygar, a Berkeley professor of computer science and information management.
