EFF deciphers printer marking.
Quote
You can see the dots on color prints from machines made by Xerox, Canon, and other manufacturers (for a list of the printers we investigated so far, see: http://www.eff.org/Privacy/printers/list.php). The dots are yellow, less than one millimeter in diameter, and are typically repeated over each page of a document. In order to see the pattern, you need a blue light, a magnifying glass, or a microscope (for instructions on how to see the dots, see: http://www.eff.org/Privacy/printers/docucolor/).

MySQL 5.0 will add enable developers to write stored procedures, which are programs that run in a database, as well as distributed transactions. It also will support triggers, which set off an event programmatically, and views, which enable administrators to restrict portions of a database from being seen without the right authorization.
Bird flu discovered in Greece. The world is screwed.

Greek agriculture minister Evangelos Bassiakos says experts will need "seven or eight days" to determine whether the virus is the H5N1 strain. The European Commission says that it is planning to ban the export of live birds and bird-related products from the Chios area, if test results due on Tuesday confirm the presence of the H5 strain there.
