Saturday September 30, 2006 Browsers of Power?
Now here's interesting. I've just been reviewing my log files and for once I looked at the browser version list. No surprise to find that two-thirds of my visitors are using Mozilla browsers, but one entry caught my eye because I'd not seen it before. It said "NSA Power-Browser,gzip". I have spotted "gzip" as a browser before but nothing that said "NSA".
I've done the obvious and googled for obvious hits - nothing. Is someone playing a prank, or should I expect a special interview next time I pass through a US port of entry?

52,000 processor super-computer in Dell's home town is built from Sun servers using AMD Opteron chips. I gather this will be one of the most powerful systems in the world. Wow!

.. until now! The IBM software patent on LZW expires this weekend, so developers no longer have to worry about it and can start using LZW compression and the formats they require freely without fear of being bullied.
