Two good articles linked from boingboing this morning:

Distributed web hosting system for spammers using cracked computers:

One group in Poland is currently advertising "invisible bulletproof hosting" in online forums for spammers. For $1,500 per month, the group says it can protect a site from network sleuthing tools used by spam opponents, such as traceroute and whois.

And Simson Garfinkle has an article explaining how peer to peer (P2P) technology can build a better internet.

I wish I could set Safari to open all links (single click) in a new tab, and use command-click to open links in the current window.

Is there a hack to do this?

Software defined radio doing well in initial trials.

Researchers have successfully tested a system that can replace a cellular tower's room full of communications hardware with a single desk-top style computer, making the technology affordable for small, rural communities....

Vanu Software Radio™ is first of its kind to perform all functions of a GSM (a digital cellular standard) base station using only software and a non-specialized computer server. The servers run the Linux operating system on Pentium processors, further simplifying the technology and reducing cost.

The company successfully demonstrated the technology in two rural Texas communities: De Leon in Comanche County and Gorman in Eastland County. When the test ends, the technology will remain as a cellular infrastructure run by Mid-Tex Cellular, Ltd.
