Here's a new geek check for you. Read through the following text and try to determine the historic event it describes (ok it only describes a very small piece of the event, but I'm confident that you'll figure it out). You can either send me your response via email, or you can use the comment link below. Good luck, and remember, no googleing.

Peter Yee at NASA Ames Research Center posts a warning to the TCP-IP mailing list: "We are currently under attack from an Internet VIRUS. It has hit UC Berkeley, UC San Diego, Lawrence Livermore, Stanford, and NASA Ames." He suggests turning off telnet, ftp, finger, rsh and SMTP services. He does not mention rexec. Yee is actually at Berkeley working with Keith Bostic, Mike Karels and Phil Lapsley.

If you want to read the Daily Blog, Life Time Fitness, or nwc.com via RSS, but you don't have an RSS reader (a problem for PCs, apparently), take a look at Mike Cannon-Brookes' ThinRSS, a java JAR app that will let you quickly grab and browse any RSS feed on any platform. It's no-frills, but it works as promised...just as good software should.
For OS X, I prefer to run NetNewsWire Lite by Brent Simmons. There's also a similar, feature-rich reader for Windows, FeedReader by i-systems, that will do the trick.
Regardless of which reader you choose, if you're looking for a quick-start list of RSS feeds, you can download mine in OPML format.
