<B><A NAME="BS1">MIDDLE EAST TERRORISM: THE BLOOD OF INNOCENTS</A></B>
<P>
An explosion and metal shards tore through the body of 12-year-old Yovav
Levy, killing him, because some men decided peace was a threat. Certain
Israelis and Palestinians have made painfully obvious in recent months and
days their intention to blow peace and democracy - along with the lives of
children and innocents - right out of the Middle East. This page provides
lists of victims of recent Israeli bombings, a form for sending your
remarks or condolences, and other info. <A HREF="http://shani.net/terror/">"http://shani.net/terror/"</A>
<P>
<B><A NAME="BS2">NETSCAPE 2.0 JAVA SECURITY HOLE AND FIX</A></B>
<P>
The culprit is the Java Applet Security Manager, a small section of
software that ensures a Java applet can only contact the host from which it
is downloaded. The Security Manager figures out which computer it came
from by querying the Domain Name System (DNS), and DNS spoofing by
hackers could result in access to computers behind a firewall. Netscape
has a fix available for downloading, with more technical information. It
appears that Sun's JDK development kit is also affected. Further info is
available from CERT.
Netscape Fix: <A HREF="http://home.netscape.com/newsref/std/java_security.html">"http://home.netscape.com/newsref/std/java_security.html"</A>
CERT: <A HREF="ftp://info.cert.org/pub/cert_advisories/CA-96.05.java_applet_security_mgr">"ftp://info.cert.org/pub/cert_advisories/CA-96.05.java_applet_security_mgr"</A>
<P>
<B><A NAME="BS3">NETSCAPE JAVA SCRIPT SECURITY HOLE AND NO FIX (YET)</A></B>
<P>
The language, JavaScript - not the same as Sun's Java language - allows Web
servers to 1) secretly record file names (only) from a websurfer's hard
drive, and 2) secretly induce a websurfer's computer to send e-mail to a
third party. Netscape announced they will introduce version 2.01, which
will eliminate these bugs and allow users to turn off JavaScript, next
week. The following two pages have more information on these and other
possible security problems with JavaScript.

<P>
<B><A NAME="BS4">YET MORE SERIOUS SECURITY PROBLEMS WITH WINDOWS WEB SERVERS</A></B>
<P>
NT Netscape server, Website, and Microsoft Internet Information Server are
vulnerable. It's possible for hackers to execute arbitrary DOS commands on
these servers because they can pass commands unchecked to the DOS command
interpreter. Patches are available for the Microsoft server, but the others
remain vulnerable. More technical details are available at these sites.

<P>
<B><A NAME="BS5">FREE WORLD DIALUP MEANS FREE LONG DISTANCE PHONE SERVICE</A></B>
<P>
The basic idea is simple. Patch Internet phone services to regular phone
lines, allowing anyone with access to a phone free international phone
calls. Next, find a horde of volunteers who are willing to set up a PC and
a phone line in every city. Give them the software and some training, and
all of a sudden you have a free international phone network. That's just
what the well organized Free World Dialup team is doing. They've launched
their project and are looking for volunteers to help grow the
non-commercial network. No reaction so far from the telcos but then, they
have the reflexes of clay. <A HREF="http://www.pulver.com/fwd/">"http://www.pulver.com/fwd/"</A>

<B><A NAME="BS6">NEW SURVEY CHARTS WHICH SERVERS ARE MOST POPULAR</A></B>
<P>
Netcraft has just completed a survey of 135,396 Web servers to find out
which are the most popular. The NCSA Server (28%) narrowly beat out
up-and-coming Apache (27%). As expected, Netscape (17%) is swiftly gaining
market share. So are Windows NT-based servers (8%), despite a serious
security flaw (see above). Results as well as links to all the servers are
available. <A HREF="http://www.netcraft.co.uk/survey/">"http://www.netcraft.co.uk/survey/"</A>
<P>
<B><A NAME="BS7">NEW US CRYPTO BILL PROPOSED</A></B>
<P>
Legislation recently introduced by Sen. Patrick Leahy would relax export
controls by transferring cryptographic export control to the US Commerce
Department, create legal rules for key escrow agents, affirm the freedom to
sell cryptographic products in the US, and criminalize the use of
cryptography to obstruct a felony investigation. The full text of the bill,
an analysis, and other interesting crypto news can be found at the Epic
site.

<B><A NAME="BS8">STRIFE: NEW DOOM-LIKE GAME PREVIEW AVAILABLE</A></B>
<P>
Time for a break. Velocity software, known for its Spectre VR and Jet
Fighter II games, just released two demo levels of this PC game for free
download from their site. The game uses the familiar Doom rendering engine
but adds interaction with characters who populate the game world. Needless
to say, downloads have been heavy. <A HREF="http://www.velocitygames.com/">"http://www.velocitygames.com/"</A>

<P>
What better way to fight recent legislative idiocy than mockery?
Predictably, you'll find plenty on the Web. Two of the better examples aim
at US efforts to curb free speech on the Net. Regulate the Internet Your
Way is a clever generator of your very own "(New and Improved)
Telecommunications Act of 1996". Simply fill in a form, push the
appropriately titled "Impose My Morality" button, and off you go. The
euphonious eXonizer, on the other hand, is a cleansing script which will
display your favorite web page scrubbed clean of all filth and prurient
slime. Think of it as kind of a World Wide Web intellectual enema.

<B><A NAME="OC2">INTERNET INFORMATION CENTER</A></B>
<P>
This site has Internet history, netiquette, search engines, and everything
you need to know about the Net whether you're a newbie or not. Peruse
advice about being care with e-mail, misinterpreted humour, emoticons, and
all that stuff you might not know until someone flames you. It's all here
like a patient friend to help you through the hot spots.

<B><A NAME="AO1">CAT PAINTING - BY CATS, NOT WITH THEM</A></B>
<P>
We often think we, as humans, have mastered certain aspects of achievement,
notable examples being writing, computer programming, junk food, and last
but not least, art. But this page shows just how arrogant our species can
be. The Why Cats Paint Home Page spotlights the art of a different cat
every day with a short bio of the painter, and an image of artist at work.
Consider this article stained with e-tears of laughter. One exhibit showed
Gumbie, an ex-cat, whose works have tripled in price to $5000 since his
untimely death. It showed Gumbie at work completing "Aviary Arsonist" at
home in Toronto. This is too stupid for words. Human stupidity and
gullibility has reached their ultimate pinnacles. This is the "capo di
tutti stupido". <A HREF="http://www.netlink.co.nz/">"http://www.netlink.co.nz/"</A>%7Emonpa/index.html
<P>
<B><A NAME="AO2">BEYOND FRACTALS</A></B>
<P>
For once, a site where "under construction" means just that. Marc
Hernandez's small program, RndPic, uses a genetic algorithm to generate
striking graphic images reminiscent of yet quite different than fractals.
The v0.5 DOS beta release of the generator is here though it is either
broken or simply crawls on a Pentium/120. What better idea then to create a
home page for the program! You're best advised to just admire the
collection of largish pre-generated sample images. Admit it, wouldn't you
love to know how RndPic graphs this
equation:
abs((-abs(var[1])^((-97/-((var[0]^(abs(68)^var[1]))/var[0]))-abs(-var[0]))))
?
Come visit for the satisfying solution.

<B><A NAME="AO3">SMALL MOVIES</A></B>
<P>
This surpisingly rich site salutes the art and craft of small cinema -
small as in 8 mm, personal cinema. Crisply designed (you are using
Netscape, aren't you?) and adorned with photos and graphics of old movie
equipment, the pages offer discourses on editing, splicing, and processing
techniques. Historical selections offer small treatises on topics such as
movieolas and Super 8. There is also an excellent collection of motion
picture laboratories organized by region and presented in a tabular form
annotated with personal comments. Links to other film sites round out the
offerings. Don't go directly to "INFO" or you'll miss the main but
curiously unobvious navigational image map at the top of the first page.

<B><A NAME="AO4">HITACHI'S HIGH TECH IMAGES</A></B>
<P>
Short on explanation but long on visual excitement, Hitachi's "Viewseum" is
an extensive showcase for its Digital Image System (DIS). DIS is a
computerized process for digitizing and restoring images. Examples abound
with selections from prominent art museums along with photos in categories
such as Flowers, Skydiving, and Sea Life. The clarity and intensity of
these graphics is stunning, particularly in light of the small file sizes.
Not really sure? Compare a few of the "before" and "after DIS" shots to
assuage your disbelief. You'll enjoy wandering here because the pages
naturally guide you on your journey. The only lingering question: how
quickly can we see images of this quality elsewhere on the Net?

Tasmanian photographer Tony Ryan's home page offers a sampling of erotic
art. These are beautiful, downloadable examples of the photographer's skill
and sensitivity. A fuller catalogue can be gleaned through the various
connections made available. He also offers a limited edition volume of his
prints via subscription. His commentaries on Net censorship and his
philosophy of photography are worthwhile reading.

The only thing missing from the Edgewise Cafe is the smell of espresso
wafting through the air. As soon as RealScent is available, we're sure
they'll have it. This is more than just a poetry site, this is interactive
art for artists. Poems are available in text, RealAudio, and QuickTime
movie formats. Wednesdays, they sponsor a live poetry workshop and
Telepoetics, an interactive audiovisual medium that functions like a
worldwide open mike. <A HREF="http://vanbc.wimsey.com/~hhaley/edgewisecafe/">"http://vanbc.wimsey.com/~hhaley/edgewisecafe/"</A>

<P>
Hitch, the e-zine of the above, features a range of weirded out stuff which
is brilliant if you're into satire, sarcasm, and the odd fruitcake site.
David Hasselhoff's Baywatch Diary, the all-consuming Mentos Site, various
articles such as "Your Rectum, Your Friend" and "Lustful Livestock" - it's
got it all. Even an analysis of the self-satisfying board game,
Beat-O-Matic, definitely worth a look. Good attitude and great content -
too bad it seems to be orphaned.

A gay mag based in London, it has a predominance of pubs/clubs/lifestyle
type stuff, and more than a few rude and nude shots if you're keen. They
accept submissions of articles and information, and have a personals
section, advertising, and a "What's On" page with takes on music, film/book
reviews, shopping, and all that stuff you look for in a paper mag. Juicy
and useful.

Le Coq Sportif is a Web-zine bringing the world of hockey to the Net. This
fast-growing, slick e-zine hosts a wealth of information on current
standings, team composition and statistics, as well as daily updates of
television broadcast schedules. This is a very impressive e-zine, with a
professional look and feel that will present hockey fans with a no-nonsense
avenue to the statistics, both on an individual and team basis, and the box
scores that they so desperately crave. Of particular interest is the
Stanley Cup Odds page, which lists the current chances of the Ottawa
Senators taking the Stanley Cup at 9328732-1. Whoohooo! Go, Senators!

Comet watchers both professional and amateur are nearly frothing at the

Net, where basic info along with the latest photographs are available at
several sites including Sky & Telescope magazine, the Comet Observation
Home Page, and the Comet C/1996 B2 Hyakutake home page. Hyakutake will
blast by Earth the evening of March 25, when NASA is organizing the Night
of the Comet, a "virtual star party". Digital images snapped through
telescopes all over the world will be posted throughout the night, allowing
those with cloudy skies at home to follow the comet over the Net.

This is your standard home page for your not so standard group: the
International Association of Bloodstain Pattern Analysts (IABPA). You'll
find the usual boring suspects - membership info, related links, etc. But
what's this? A link to a "Sim-Crime Scene". Here's the meat! Effectively
using Netscape 2.0 frames, you're presented with a (V-chip warning:
graphic) photo of a crime victim. Clicking on emphasized regions yields
blood spatter closeups with explanations. Use your growing analytical
skills to dissect the scene while you wait for the overloaded server to
deliver your next clue. For all you Simpson trial fans, test your DNA
knowledge by matching alleles to randomly generated DQ-Alpha strips. Hats

Siberia, Mongolia, and other areas of the ex-Soviet Union are the stomping

(RPI), the largest institution of its kind. The Institute lacks a wire to
the Web, but it has loaned some virtual exhibits to UC-Berkeley's Museum of
Paleontology, which has established a stateside Web site for the Institute.
Photos of exhibits at RPI carry explanatory text, and are linked to the
Berkeley museum's own pages. Unfortunately, the photos are fairly washed
