A DIFFERENT TYPE OF PRAYER
Heavenly Father, help us remember that the jerk who cut us
off in traffic last night is a single mother who worked nine hours
that day and was rushing home to cook dinner, help with homework, do
the laundry and spend a few precious moments with her children.
Help us to remember that the pierced, tattooed, disinterested
young man who can't make change correctly is a worried 19-year-old
college student, balancing his apprehension over final exams with
his fear of not getting his student loans for next semester.
Remind us, Lord, that the scary looking bum, begging for
money in the same spot every day (who really ought to get a job!) is
a slave to addictions that we can only imagine in our worst
nightmares.
Help us to remember that the old couple walking annoyingly
slow through the store aisles and blocking our shopping progress are
savoring this moment, knowing that, based on the biopsy report she
got back last week, this will be the last year that they go shopping
together.
Heavenly Father, remind us each day that, of all the gifts
you give us, the greatest gift is love. It is not enough to share
that love with those we hold dear. Open our hearts not just to those
who are close to us but to all humanity. Let us be slow to judgment
and quick to forgiveness and patience and empathy and love.
AMEN

Users Peeved at Microsoft Security Effort
http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,3959,767339,00.asp
Microsoft Corp. customers are growing frustrated by a series of
actions the company has taken that they say call into question
its efforts to improve security.

Spam may overtake e-mail in 2003
http://www.net-security.org/news.php?id=1642
This year has seen a marked increase in malicious spam, such as financial
scams. The most well-known of these, the Nigerian scam, seems to make
particular victims of Americans. A recent report by the U.K. National
Criminal Intelligence Service stated that as many as five Americans per day
have been seen waiting in London hotel lobbies to meet people connected with
the scam. MessageLabs predicted Nigerian scam operations will gross more
than $2 billion in 2003.
Another new wrinkle in malicious spam is the FriendGreeting applet, a
legitimate-looking online greeting-card service that tricks users into
downloading an applet that mass-mails the addresses in a user's Windows
address book and invites recipients to go to a greeting-card site, where
they're prompted to download the same applet. MessageLabs has intercepted
70,000 copies of that e-mail.
The company predicts that spam next year will not only scour address books
for e-mail addresses but will also look through the user's Internet Explorer
cache, as viruses now do.

Google Viewer
http://labs.google.com/gviewer.html
The Google Viewer displays the pages found as a result of your Google search
as a continuous scrolling slide show. You can view your search results
without using your keyboard or mouse and you can adjust the speed with which
the images move across your screen. Each image of a page's contents is
accompanied by a short "snippet" describing that page.

*** MfM *** This is an interesting concept, you can move back
and forth to view the pages from a control pannel
similar to a VCR fast forward and rewind buttons.

Antivirus software is a good choice to scan your system for possible viruses,
however no virus scanner is 100% effective as manufactures cannot keep up with
the rapid change of viruses that happens daily.
Be sure to update yours regularly.
