According to the indictment, Jones would steal various IBM and Penguin computer servers from Verisign's warehouse in Virginia and sell them to Johnson. Johnson would then sell the servers to several individuals, who would sometimes place them for sale on eBay.

Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle ( S.D.) on by amending the homeland security bill (whose language will be finalized today) with a provision by Sen. Jon Corzine ( N.J.). It would beef up security at plants containing hazardous chemicals while guaranteeing the public the right to such basic information as which chemicals are there.
Laptop Computers A Senate environmental policy committee in July approved Corzine's bill last July, 19-0. The measure never came to a floor vote. It was killed before the Senate could take it up.
laptop computers is driving strong sales for notebook computers, according to the latest quarterly sales figures from the research firm IDC, which reported a 37% computer sales for the second quarter, compared with a year earlier. In the U.S., laptop sales grew 17.7%, while sales of desktop computers and servers fell 4%. The New York Times ( 10), CNET ( 10)
Laptop Computer The American Chemistry Council, the American Farm Bureau and the American Petroleum Institute, among other industry groups, last year fought Corzine's proposal as a form of government meddling in private commerce.
"Computer industry analysts estimate that some 60 percent of all corporate data exists only on desktop and laptop computers, " said Walter Scott, CEO of Acronis. "Incorporating Acronis True Image with New Mexico Software backup server is the ideal solution to capture that corporate data and ensure that it is not lost. While traditional server backups are effective for protecting server data, every company should have a combination of server and workstation backup plans."
Desktop Computer Republicans who had voted for the bill in the Environment and Public Works Committee reversed themselves and blocked the measure from coming to the Senate floor.
Notebooks Corzine in Wednesday's floor debate noted that, according to the General Accounting Office, there are 123 chemical plants in 24 states that, if attacked, could put 1 million people or more at risk of injury or death. Eleven of the potential targets are based in New Jersey.

Software The senator would have the two agencies consider the potential harm an unplanned release would cause and the proximity of plants and storage sites to cities and towns.
Hard Drives Companies that own high-priority sites would be compelled to assess the vulnerability of their facilities; identify hazards associated with an accident or a terrorist assault; and prepare plans to reduce the likelihood of chemical emergencies.
Electronics If possible, they would be compelled to employ less volatile compounds than the ones they use now. Corzine listed chlorine, ammonia and hydrogen chloride as substances he was worried about.
Canon Chemical producers contend they are voluntarily taking care of any security problems. They want to prevent the EPA, headed by former New Jersey Gov. Christie Whitman, from playing any role in federal anti-terrorism policy.
