Good luck By Jeff Caruso Outlawing spyware? Good luck The U.S. House of Representatives approved a law that targets spyware. But Mark Gibbs points out that there are several problems with it - not the least of which are defining spyware and prosecuting any offenders. <http://www.nwfusion.com/columnists/2004/101104backspin.html?vo> DSL for all Daniel Briere's Telecom Catalyst column lives up to its name this week. Turns out Briere recently ensured that a small community in Maine was able to get DSL. Verizon had connected an island off the coast with broadband - but then denied service to the potential customers because of a database glitch. Find out how Briere shook up the system. <http://www.nwfusion.com/columnists/2004/101104briere.html?vo> Frances, Ivan and Jeanne build case for disaster recovery As Kevin Tolly recovered from the extended power outages caused by this season's hurricanes, one thing became exceedingly clear: disaster recovery plans are too important to put off. Here's what he did to prepare for next time. <http://www.nwfusion.com/columnists/2004/101104tolly.html?vo> No job security in cybersecurity? Why can't the Department of Homeland Security keep a cybersecurity chief for very long? How is the department spending the $70 million that's supposed to go towards cybersecurity? 'Net Insider Scott Bradner asks these and other questions in his column this week. <http://www.nwfusion.com/columnists/2004/101104bradner.html?vo> _______________________________________________________________ To contact: Jeff Caruso Jeff Caruso is managing editor of online news for Network World.
