DA!Russian government approves Kyoto; treaty now likely to go into effect!After years of mixed messages, coy feints, and internal drama, the Russian government at last approved the Kyoto Protocol last week, virtually ensuring that the treaty will go into force worldwide by the end of the year. After the U.S. (responsible for 25 percent of global greenhouse-gas emissions) rejected the treaty, its success or failure fell into Russia's hands: To go into effect, it must be ratified by at least 55 percent of its signatories, which among them must account for at least 55 percent of the developed world's greenhouse-gas emissions. With a 17 percent share of global emissions, Russia tipped the balance. Russian officials were sharply divided over the issue, with one side claiming ratification would devastate the nation's economy, and the other claiming that global trade in carbon-dioxide emissions credits would be an economic windfall for the country. The treaty now goes to the Russian parliament, where its ratification is almost a certainty. This would leave the U.S. and Australia as the only major Kyoto holdouts in the developed world.straight to the source: Reuters UK, Darya Korsunskaya, 30 Sep 2004<http://grist.org/cgi-bin/forward.pl?forward_id=3215>straight to the source: BBC News, 30 Sep 2004<http://grist.org/cgi-bin/forward.pl?forward_id=3216>straight to the source: MSNBC.com, 30 Sep 2004<http://grist.org/cgi-bin/forward.pl?forward_id=3217>straight to the source: Terra Daily, Agence France-Presse, 30 Sep 2004<http://grist.org/cgi-bin/forward.pl?forward_id=3218 >

Spybot - Search & Destroy - Reviews and free downloads at Download.com:
"The latest version of Spybot - Search & Destroy adds some truly useful features to an already excellent app. The program still checks your system against a comprehensive database of adware and other system invaders, but it works much faster now (in our testing, three minutes versus 10 minutes previously). It also features several interface improvements. Scan results now appear arranged by groups in a tree, and a sliding panel lets you instantly view information about a selected item to help you decide whether to kill it or not. The Immunize feature blocks a plethora of uninvited Web-borne flotsam before it reaches your computer. Other useful tools, including Secure Shredder, complement the program's basic functionality for completely destroying files. Hosts File blocks adware servers from your computer, and System Startup lets you review which apps load when you start your computer. The functionality makes Spybot - Search & Destroy a must-have for all Internet users, and this version is a worthwhile upgrade. "

SpaceShipOne: A giant leap for high-tech vets? | CNET News.com: "update MOJAVE, Calif.--A venture backed by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen got a jump Wednesday on rivals eyeing a $10 million prize for the first privately funded junkets into space and back.
A specialized plane carrying a suborbital spacecraft took off shortly before 7:15 a.m. PDT in an attempt to complete the first phase in the race to privatize space travel. The airplane, dubbed the White Knight, carried Mojave Aerospace Ventures' SpaceShipOne on its belly to about 14 kilometers in altitude, where the space vehicle broke off and soared to a height of more than 100 kilometers--generally considered the boundary of outer space."

Image virus spreads via chat | CNET News.com: "A virus that exploits the recently discovered JPEG vulnerability has been discovered spreading over America Online's instant-messaging program.
Experts at the SysAdmin Audit Network Security, or SANS, Institute said the virus is still in its infancy, with the institute having received only two reports of infection so far.
'It's been done in the past, but with HTML code instead of the JPEG,' said Johannes Ullrich, chief technical officer for SANS' Internet Storm Center, the organization's online-security research unit. 'It is a virus, but it didn't spread very far. We've only had two reports of it.' "

"How to record an Internet radio broadcast"
By Colin Duwe (September 28, 2004)
Folks love a digital video recorder such as TiVo because it lets them easily record their favorite TV shows. But what are fans of radio shows to do? Well, so long as your favorite show is broadcast on the Web, you can set up your computer to capture it. Download the right software and fiddle a bit with some settings; your computer will automatically launch a browser and record your show each time it airs. You'll then have it as an MP3 that you can listen to at your leisure, transfer to your MP3 player, or burn to a CD.
