For CS-MARS users..

For anyone who regularly uses Cisco's CS-MARS know the pain of having to rely on IE for the necessary Adobe SVG plugin to generate the pretty pictures from MARS. I came across an Adobe SVG plugin so you can use MARS with Firefox. Note: most of the topology maps don't generate properly but most of the graphs do however. I'm sure there's more to come..

So much for customer service..

In true capitalist zeal, more and more companies are oferring up our data for for the right price. SecFocus has a pretty in depth article discussing the logistics and the good/bad of our ISPs cooperating with our government to search for those pesky terrorists. I think in the 90's, they were also known as drug dealers, in the 50's through the 80's they were Communists and before then they were American citizens with questionable activities. Muddy enough for you? Good..
