20th Anniversary Of Computer Viruses Commemorated: "Our good friends at the BBC are celebrating the 20th anniversary of the computer virus. So, viruses are no longer teenagers and are now entering adulthood, as 'there are almost 60,000 viruses in existence and they have gone from being a nuisance to a permanent menace.' What wonders shall there be to come, as these marvelous bits of code continue to grow and multiply?" [Slashdot]

They are being called upon by scientists and corporations for a variety of applications, including building low cost supercomputers and creating work groups that can span cities or even the globe. [...] While the United States is beginning to respond to a report in February from the National Science Foundation Advisory Panel on Cyberinfrastructure urging coordinated investment in grid technologies, the European Union is preparing to start two major initiatives in early 2004."
