Hooke's journal found charting birth of modern science
was lost for more than 200  years
<http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12037638/from/RS.3/>
LONDON - A manuscript charting the birth of modern science, lost for
more than 200 years, goes on sale on Tuesday with a price tag in
excess of one million pounds.
Hailed as "science's missing link", the journal of Robert Hooke
contains details of experiments he conducted as curator at the Royal
Society from 1662 and his correspondence as its secretary from 1677.
The guardian reports the papers have been saved for the nation:
'With minutes to spare at Bonhams auctioneers in central London, the
Royal Society agreed an 11th-hour deal to buy the papers for "about  £1m"'

Justice Department Subpoenas Reach Far Beyond Google
http://informationweek.com/news/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=184401156
In its effort to uphold the 1998 Child Online Protection Act (COPA),
the U.S.Department of Justice is leaving no stone unturned. Its widely
reported issuance of subpoenas to Internet search companies AOL, MSN, Google, and Yahoo
is just the tip of the iceberg: The government has demanded information from
at least 34 Internet service providers, search companies, and security software
firms.

BT CHARGING FOR HIGH BANDWIDTH USAGE
U.K. Internet service provider BT has sent letters to 3,200 subscribers
letting them know that their usage exceeds the 40GB per month download
limit to which they agreed in the terms of their service. The letters
inform customers that they must either pay a surcharge for the extra
usage or their service will be disconnected. The ISP does not have an
automatic shutoff for users who exceed the limit, and officials from BT
said they are willing to tolerate occasional violations. The users
contacted, however, are regularly downloading far more than the limit,
with some routinely downloading 200GB every month. Such a volume of
downloads corresponds to approximately 50,000 songs. A spokesperson
from BT said it would be fair to call these users "broadband hogs" and
noted, "You would have to be downloading pretty much all day, every
day, to manage that level of downloading." BT sent similar letters to
1,800 individuals in October, and while some users did agree to pay for
their usage, most were cut off from BT.

State Computer Security: Did the Public Get the Full Story?
http://www.nhpr.org/node/10492
In February, state officials issued a warning that a bit of malicious
software on a state computer might have put peoples' credit card

forward and he says that the state's problems with hackers were much
greater than officials discussed.
