Virus
Outbreak Causes Deluge of Spam
Many
lab employees opened their e-mails yesterday morning
and found a mountain of spam messages in their
inbox, and were hit with them throughout the day.
The culprit, says Gene Schultz, with ITSD’s
Computer Protection Program, is a recent outbreak
of the "Sobig.F" worm, which mainly
targets Windows systems. There
is no removal tool for this infection, so go here
to do it manually. To help prevent infection, employees
should go here
to update the Norton Anti-Virus software on their
computer,
and avoid opening suspicious-looking attachments.
Additional information about Sobig.F is available
on the Computer
Protection Program website.

Ph.D. Population is Nation's Third Largest
Berkeley
can claim bragging rights to one obscure statistic from
the 2000 Census: The city is third on the list of places
with the highest percentage of residents with doctoral
degrees. The census listed the 10 areas with populations
of 100,000 or more that have the highest percentage
of people 25 and over with doctoral degrees. Berkeley
has 102,743 residents. According to census data, 5,347
of the 66,071 Berkeley residents who are 25 or older
have Ph.Ds -- that's 8.1 percent of the residents in
that age group. Berkeley's big brains were bested only
by Cambridge, Mass. and Ann Arbor, Mich. Full
story. |

| Offices
Burn Cash Spewing Printer, Fax, Copier Pages
The
writing's on the wall -- or actually on the mound of
abandoned printouts near the exhausted company printer.
The "paperless office" that we once heard
so much about hasn't materialized, and corporate printing
costs have skyrocketed during the wait. Companies can
easily spend tens of thousands of dollars a year on
paper and ink cartridges. Americans use about 4 million
tons of copy paper a year. The average office employee
uses about 13,000 sheets a year, according to Berkeley
Lab's Cutting Paper Web site. Full
story. |
