It is hard to sort out what exactly is going on but various reports on the Net seem to indicate that Yugoslavia may soon be cut off from the Net if they haven't been already. If this happens it would be a flagrant violation of commercial contracts with Yugoslavian ISPs, not to mention a direct attack on freedom of speech and of the Internet. HNN has put together a new report in the Buffer Overflow section detailing many of the rumors and the facts.

By now everyone has heard of Y2K. How many have heard of August 21? That is the date when many handheld GPS systems may go wacko. The GPS satellites keep track of dates by measuring the number of weeks elapsed since January 5-6, 1980. Every 1,024 weeks, the timer will resets to zero. The first time this will happen is August 21. People suspect that older GPS units may not be able to read this time accurately. (I knew there was a reason I waited buy one)

No ATM card or PIN numbers needed. Bank United, based in Texas, is the first to offer Iris scans at its ATMs for its customers. Just walk up to the ATM, let the computer check out your eyeball and withdraw some dough. In response to questions about privacy concerns, Bank United said the iris pictures will not be distributed to anyone outside the bank. (Unless they get subpoenaed or cracked, of course.)
