Known also as Fat Tuesday or Mardi Gras, National Pancake Day dates back several centuries to when the English prepped for fasting during Lent. Strict rules prohibited the eating of all dairy products during Lent, so pancakes were made to use up the supply of eggs, milk, butter and other dairy products…hence the name Pancake Tuesday or Shrove Tuesday.
On Tuesday, February 23rd come to Ihop between 7am – 10pm and get a free short stack of pancakes.

Mark Fiore, who the Wall Street Journal recently called “the undisputed guru of the form,” creates animated political cartoons from an undisclosed location somewhere in San Francisco. His work appears regularly in a wide variety of online news web sites and is seen by millions, probably even scrillions.
After a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist creating traditional political cartoons in a terribly stifling fluorescent windowless office, Fiore happily fled the print world in 2001 to devote all of his energies to creating animated work.
Mark Fiore was awarded a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award and has also received an Online Journalism Award from the Online News Association and the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism. With two awards from the National Cartoonists Society for his work in new media under his belt, Fiore also seems to excel at writing in the third person.

COMPUTERS infected with viruses could be “expelled” from the internet under a new industry code to control Australia’s plague of contaminated PCs.
The Federal Government has given the internet industry an operate-or-legislate ultimatum to identify “zombie” computers involved in cyber-crime, The Australian reports.
The Internet Industry Association – whose members include major internet service providers Optus, Telstra, Vodafone, AAPT, Virgin and Hutchison 3G, as well as industry giants Facebook, Google and Microsoft – is preparing a voluntary industry code to come into force this year.
The move follows industry intelligence that Australia now hosts the world’s third-highest number of “zombie” computers infected with malicious software that can attack other PCs, send spam, store child pornography or steal the user’s identity.
A draft copy of the voluntary code says the ISPs should identify affected computers and try to contact the users, by phone or email.
It proposes ISPs apply an “abuse” plan to slow down the speed of the customer’s infected computer, or to change the customer’s password so they are forced to call the ISP help desk.
“(Another action could be to) provide the customer with a timeframe in which to take remedial access and, if this is not adhered to, terminate service.”
The code states ISPs should cut off internet access only in the “most extreme of cases”, when a customer had refused to install anti-virus software, or where the amount of spam being sent from the customer’s account was clogging up the network.
A global report by security technology giant McAfee reveals that Australia now ranks behind only the US and China for the number of “zombie” computers that fell under the control of spammers in 2009.
“The `Land Down Under’ is proving to be fertile ground for zombie recruiting,” the report says.
It estimates Australia accounts for 6.3 per cent of the world’s “new zombies”, compared with 18 per cent from the US and 13.3 per cent from China.
Just two years ago, Australia was not even in the top 10 countries listed in McAfee’s Global Threats report.
The internet industry’s voluntary code of conduct is being pushed by the federal Department of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy.
The department has told a parliamentary inquiry into cyber-crime that the voluntary code is faster than introducing legislation.
“We’ve always said that if this does not work then government will have to consider firmer options because this is really serious stuff,”
Keith Besgrove, the first assistant secretary of the digital economy services division, told a cyber-crime hearing in Canberra late last year.
“This is damn dangerous and we’ve got to do something about it.”

Only a day after the recent out-of-band Internet Explorer vulnerability patch, a new un-patched Internet Explorer
flaw could leave thousands of users at risk.
The new attack uses smaller un-patched vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer, small enough they couldn’t compromise a system, but together they can overwhelm Internet Explorer and give access to a users machine if the individual clicks on a malicious link. Jorge Luis Alvarez Medina said to Reuters, “There are three or four ways to conduct this type of attack.” Alvarez Medina is a security consultant with Boston-based Core who have been researching Internet Explorer weaknesses.
The smaller exploits triggers four or five minor exploits at the same time, by three or four different methods to trigger the attack.
Alvarez Medina said that the attack uses a string of four or five minor exploits in Internet Explorer. The vulnerability will be demonstrated at the yearly Black Hat Security conference, which will take place on February 2, 2010.
