If you wipe your cache (ctl-F5) it forces your browser to redownload everything on a page again (code, images, video) since the broswer no longer has them stored for easy reach. This usually solves most image issues in my experience.

BB Gun & Knife Means Suspension, Expulsion For Glenrock Student
A freshman at Glenrock High School is suspended for carrying weapons to school.
Kirk Hughes, superintendent for Converse County School District #2, says the district has a no-tolerance policy regarding weapons, in this case a BB gun and knife.
"The student was searched and we did find a BB gun pistol in his back pack. We also did find a pocket knife in his coat jacket."
Hughes says the incident was reported to high school administration by other students. He says the student when questioned gave no explanation for why he was carrying them.
Hughes says their weapons policy requires a 10 day suspension, "and then by law he would be expelled for one school year."
Hughes commended the students who stepped forward and reported the weapons.

badblocks is a program to test storage devices for bad blocks.
In case of a HDD the whole sector should get retired. A sector is a subdivision of a track on a storage device and sectors that have become bad cannot be used because they have become permanently damaged (a bad sector can change a letter in a text file to causing a binary program to have a segmentation fault).
S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) is Hardware-featured in almost every HDD still in use nowadays and in some cases it can automatically retire defect HDD Sectors. Anyhow it only passively waits for errors while badblocks writes simple patterns to every block of a device and then reads and checks them searching for damaged areas. (Just like memtest86* does with RAM.)
This can be done in a destructive write-mode that effectively wipes the device (do Backup!) or in non-destructive read-write (Backup advisable as well!) and read-only modes.

Storage Device Fidelity
Although there is no firm rule has been set, it is common thinking that a new drive should have zero bad sectors. Over time, bad sectors will develop on a storage device and although they are able to be defined to the file system so that they are avoided, continual use of the drive will usually result in additional bad sectors forming and are usually the harbinger of death of a hard drive. Replacement of the device is recommended.
Comparisons with Other Programs
Typical recommended practice for testing a storage device for bad sectors is to use the manufacturer's testing program. Most manufacturers have programs that do this. The main reasoning for this is that manufacturers usually have their standards built into the test programs that will tell you if the drive needs to be replaced or not. The caveat here being is that some manufacturers testing programs do not print full test results and allow a certain number of bad sectors saying only if they pass or not. Manufacturer programs, however, are generally quicker than badblocks sometimes a fair amount so.
Testing for Bad Sectors
To test for bad sectors in Linux the program badblocks is typically used. badblocks had several different modes to be able to detect bad sectors.
read-write Test
This test is primarily for testing new drives and is a read-write test. As the pattern is written to every accesible block the device effectively gets wiped. Default is an extensive test with four passes using four different patterns: 0xaa (10101010), 0x55 (01010101), 0xff (11111111) and 0x00 (00000000). For some devices this will take a couple of days to complete.
# badblocks -wsv /dev/<device>
Checking for bad blocks in read-write mode From block 0 to 488386583 Testing with pattern 0xaa: done Reading and comparing: done Testing with pattern 0x55: done Reading and comparing: done Testing with pattern 0xff: 22.93% done, 4:09:55 elapsed. (0/0/0 errors) [...] Testing with pattern 0x00: done Reading and comparing: done Pass completed, 0 bad blocks found. (0/0/0 errors)
- -w
- do a destructive write test
- -s
- show progress-bar
- -v
- be "verbose" and output bad sectors detected to stdout
Additional options you might consider:
- -p <number>
- run through the extensive four pass test <number> of sequent iterations
- -o </path/to/output-file>
- print bad sectors to <output-file> instead of stdout
- -t <test_pattern>
- Specify a pattern. See below.
define specific test pattern
random pattern
Badblocks can be made to repeatedly write a single "random pattern" with the
-t random option.
# badblocks -wsv -t random /dev/<device>
Checking for bad blocks in read-write mode From block 0 to 488386583 Testing with random pattern: done Reading and comparing: done Pass completed, 0 bad blocks found. (0/0/0 errors)
read-write Test (non-destructive)
This test is designed for devices with data already on them. A non-destructive read-write test does transparently backup original content before testing sectors with a single random pattern and then restoring the content from the backup. This is a single pass test and is useful as a general maintenance test.
# badblocks -nsv /dev/<device>
Checking for bad blocks in non-destructive read-write mode From block 0 to 488386583 Checking for bad blocks (non-destructive read-write test) Testing with random pattern: done Pass completed, 0 bad blocks found. (0/0/0 errors)
-n option signifies a non-destructive read-write test.
Have File System Incorporate Bad Sectors
To not use bad sectors they have to be known by the filesystem.
During Filesystem Check
Incorporating bad sectors can be done using the filesystem check utility (
fsck can be told to use badblocks during a check. To do a read-write (non-destructive) test and have the bad sectors made known to the filesystem run:
# fsck -vcck /dev/<device-PARTITION>
-cc option tells run
fsck in non-destructive test mode, the
-v tells
fsck to show its output, and the
-k option preserves old bad sectors that were detected.
To do a read-only test (not recommended):
# fsck -vck /dev/<device-PARTITION>
During Filesystem Creation
Alternately, this can be done at filesystem creation time by first finding the file systems block size. For example for ext# filesystems:
# dumpe2fs /dev/<device-PARTITION> | grep 'Block size'
feed this to badblocks and save its output:
# badblocks -b <block size> -ns -o badblocks.txt /dev/<device-PARTITION>
Then re-create the file system with the information:
# mkfs.<filesystem-type> -l badblocks.txt /dev/<device-PARTITION>

I'll let the cookbook explain:
"Like the bread on a sandwich, rice patties can hold just about anything in between. For vegetarians, rice burgers are a godsend, since fast-food chains in Japan often serve them with only sautéed veggies in between."We filled this burger with Tofurkey slices and topped it with two vegan cheese "sunshines".
Next to the rice burger are Eco-Planet Non-Dairy Organic Cheese Crackers. That's right -- VEGAN CHEESE CRACKERS, people!! Woo hoo! Now I won't have to make my own all the time.
In the top row are blueberries, carrots and Yumm sauce, and dried apple slices.
Verdict: I couldn't wait for shmoo to get home today so I could find out how his lunch was, because I must admit I was picturing the rice bun falling apart as he tried to eat it. "Did it work?" I asked him. "Were you able to pick it up and eat it just like bread?"
"YES!" he replied. "The rice held together good. Although I did eat the tofurkey first and then the buns." So there you have it, the perfect sandwich for all you gluten-freers! And the crackers are AWESOME; you would never guess you weren't eating a regular cheese cracker. 4 stars.
Well, everyone, have a great weekend! I hope you enjoyed this special summer camp week filled with new vegan lunches from the shmoo and me!

The dashboard on a car or truck collects information from various sources inside the vehicle and displays it to you in a way that helps you make good decisions as you drive, or even before you get on the road.
At a glance, you can tell:
How fast you are going
How much fuel you have
If your oil is getting low
If your battery is in trouble
Whether or not your seat belt is fastened
And more…
In the same way, a PerformancePoint dashboard gives you meaningful, up-to-date information about your organization. That information comes from various data sources and you can tell, at a glance, how your organization is performing. You can explore the data extensively so you can get a deep look at various aspects of your business and make well-informed decisions.
What do you want to know?
What kinds of things can I do on a PerformancePoint dashboard?
Using the Quick Launch pane to find PerformancePoint dashboards and dashboard items
Why use a dashboard?
The goal of PerformancePoint dashboards is to provide you with data that is formatted in such a way that you can view it, explore it, analyze it, and readily understand it. By gaining insight into your organization this way, you will be in position to shape business strategies and make good business decisions.
Information on PerformancePoint dashboards is presented to you in a context that makes sense. Instead of just indicating that your sales of TVs last year totaled $500,000,000, the dashboard can show that information in connection with the sales target. If the target was $450,000,000, your TV sales are going well; if the target was $700,000,000, you have a problem!
To stretch this example a little further, you probably would want to know more than just the total sales amount. You would want to know which brands sold well, and which did not. You might also want to know which sales territories had the best and worst sales records, which stores performed the best and worst, if sales were better at certain times of the year, who your top sales people are, and where they are located. All this information can be served up to you on a dashboard in a way that you can search, filter, and explore the data to discover what is really going on in your organization..
After finding out that certain brands sold very well and others did not, you might decide to eliminate or reduce the poorly selling ones and stock up on more of your best sellers. Or, you might decide to feature different brands in different sales territories. You might also decide to pitch your advertising campaigns differently. You can make a whole range of strategic decisions when you are armed with precise information.
What is a Web Part?
A Web Part is a modular unit of information that appears on a SharePoint site. It has a title bar, a frame, and content. In a PerformancePoint dashboard, the Web Parts display reports of various types: analytic charts, analytic grids, scorecards, Web Page reports, and strategy maps. Nearly all PerformancePoint Web Parts are interactive, meaning that you can click in them to expand or explore the data you see in reports. Some dashboards have only a single Web Part on a page; others have three or four or more.
Each Web Part exists in a "zone," which is a defined area on the dashboard. The person who designs the dashboard determines how many zones to use and how many pages to include in the dashboard.
What kinds of things can I do on a PerformancePoint dashboard?
From a SharePoint site in your organization, you can open a dashboard, view it, explore it, export it to Microsoft PowerPoint or Excel, and even print it. You can drill into data, display it in a decomposition tree, filter it to look at very specific information, isolate certain information, change report types, and even create your own views in some cases.

Tom,I am glad your Sicilian Pizza was a success. It sounds good that you like Better for Bread flour and your crust was thick and airy, and the bottom crust was firm and crunchy. I think that is also how I like my Sicilian pies. My Sicilian pizzas take about 15 minutes to bake if I bake on the top deck, so your time for your bake of 17 minutes seems right. You see, great minds think alike I am using GM Full Strength flour now for all of my Sicilian pies, which is a little lower in protein, but is bromated. Is "Full Strength" the "type" or the "name" under which the flour is sold? You must be on the East coast. I talked to the Northern California regional manager for GM flour products and he said that GM does not sell Bromated flour west of the Rockies.Thank YouTomNorma
@NormaDo you still use any of the ConAgra occident flour we once talked about? I had run out but just this past week I was able to get some. I make bread in a bread machine with that flour and it always turns out great. I have not used it for a Sicilian style pizza, but I think I'm gonna give it a try. Later in the summer I will stock up for next winter!Dave
Tom,Peter posted at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,19772.0.html about the General Mills redone website. There you can see what protein content GM Full Strength is if you click though General Mills website. I am on the East Coast, being in Pa. You could always mixed flours to get the same protein as GM Full Strength flour at Novembers Mixed Mass Percentage Calculator http://foodsim.toastguard.com/ but if you are happy with Better for Bread flour you could just keep using the Better for Bread Flour. Harvest King is the professional name for Better for Bread flour if you wanted to purchase it in larger bags.Norma, the formula for changing the percentage of gluten in a bread flour, by adding gluten flour, is simply 2 equations in two unknowns.(amount of bread flour) + (amount of gluten flour) = (total amount of flour) ///equation 1((percentage of gluten in bread flour)/100)*(amount of bread flour) + /// equation 2((percentage of gluten in gluten flour)/100)*(amount of gluten flour) = ((desired percentage of gluten)/100*(total amount of flour)For example, in a 360 gram mix of flour (3 cups) if better for bread flour is used, with a gluten percentage of 13.3% and gluten flour is used with a gluten percentage of 76.6% then the equations are solved for 354 grams of Better for bread and 6 grams of gluten flour, which is about two teaspoons. Some rounding is involved. Peter also posed some flour proteins at Reply 70 http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,18075.msg184661.html#msg184661 if you are interested. I knew California doesnt sell bromated flours, or if they are sold or used, need labeled that the products are made with bromated flours, but didnt know GM doesnt sell bromated flours west of the Rockies.Do you own a pizza business?No, I do not own a pizza business but really wish that I did. I am an electronics engineer which should not have been too hard to spot. I no longer derive any joy from making my living as an EE. I would rather go for the instant gratification of handing somebody a pizza and getting some money in return.My avatar picture was taken of me in my cousin's pizza parlor in NYC. I don't have the $200K or so it would take for me to start one in California. California is kind of a miserable place to start a business anyway and the people here really don't appreciate good pizza. I mean, the way they stuff down crap from Round Table and Papa Murphy's, kind of makes me ill. They would never appreciate East coast Pizza.Norma
Tom,I didnt mean to use VWG to change the protein if that is what you thought. Some members dont mind VWG added to flours for their pizzas, but some members dont want VWG added. I am really bad with numbers, but since you are an engineer I can see you do understand numbers and equations very well. Well, the equations will work with any types of flour. I am not familiar with the acronym "VWG"? Since you liked your results with Better for Bread flour you can just stick with that.Sorry, you no longer derive any joy from making your living as an EE. I am only in the pizza business for one day a week,If I might ask, how is it that you are only in the pizza business one day a week? Is it your own business? Is it a business that sells mostly other things but does pizza one day a week? but think there is gratification in being able to hand a customer a slice or whole pie. Doing it everyday a week though is a lot harder than some members think. Usually pizzerias also have many other types of foods to prepare other than pizza.My cousins pizza restaurant has such a large menu that it is twice the size of any Italian restaurant that I have seen in California. Most impressive. I thought your avatar picture was of you, but didnt know it was taken at your cousins pizza business in NY. Yes, the picture is of me. It was taken by accident. I was waiting for the pizza station to be free so that I could practice without getting in the way. While I was doing that I heard somebody say "you are a natural at it" and as I turned around, my cousins daughter snapped my picture.I am not sure about Californians not appreciating good NY style or Sicilian pizzas. It seems like someone is always looking for a better pizza in any state. I know it costs a lot of money for a regular pizza business though.Norma
Tom,If you look under the Pizza Glossary http://www.pizzamaking.com/pizza_glossary.html and then look under Vital Wheat Gluten http://www.pizzamaking.com/pizza_glossary.html#V you can see VWG is used to supplement other flours to increase the overall protein levels of those flours.If you are interested, I am at Roots Country Market and Auction and it is only opened one day a week. http://www.rootsmarket.com/ and this is my very small pizza stand that I own. http://www.rootsmarket.com/standholders-detail.asp?Image=59 I am over 65 years old, so I am semi-retired, but still like to work. I only make pizzas and other related products one day a week, but do go to market 2 other days to clean and prepare my dough. At my age I sure would not want to tackle a full-time pizza business.Your cousins pizza restaurant sounds interesting. Do you have a link for his restaurant? It does look like you are a natural in making pizza. Norma, thank you for sharing the link to your pizza stand. The resolution on my monitor is quite high and I think that I was able to zoom in and get a look at you standing in the rear, by what could be the dough machine. The web site said that you have been there since 1922, but I doubt that you have been there that long As for a link to my cousins restaurant, well, his pizza is excellent but his internet technology leaves much to be desired. Tell you what. Here is my email address. [email protected] If you send an email to my address then I will be able to send you some photos of my cousin restaurants and you will not be giving your email address to the whole world. I, on the other hand, have enough virus protections to filter out the Amazon river in full flood. Also, I have a few questions that are perhaps best discussed "off line" as we say in the industry. I mean, no need to bother the forum about "this or that". I look forward to hearing from you. Tom Norma
Tom,I was thinking it over, and although I dont mind emailing with a member, (and have emailed with some members) I think if questions are asked here on the forum about anything pizza related, then any members that might be interested can benefit from those posts. Norma, I only wanted to be able to send you pictures of my cousins pizza operations, as you requested. I have no way to do that other than by email, since no web pages are involved. One of these days I should put together a web site, for the sake of my profession, such as it is, but I have not yet done so. If I would answer something wrong, then other members could and might correct me. I sure dont know everything about making different styles of pizzas and am still learning. I have received many PMs asking all kinds of questions, and although I dont mind answering a few basic questions, I normally ask the member to post openly on the forum of what they want to know and ask the broad questions openly. I have learned a lot more by what members post here on the forum and think other members also do learn from those posts, (other then from emailing or sending PMs). Most forum members are very open in what methods they used, their formulations, bake times, ovens, etc., and so am I. What I do and what you might want to do could be very different in the mixers we use, mix times, the type of oven, bake times, flours, etc. I have even gotten emails from some people that was were not members of this forum asking me to point them to exactly what I did. I dont know how they got my email except that I do have a pizza blog and am at market. I suggest to them to become a member of this forum and ask any questions they have on the forum.I also still have a long way to go on my pizza making journey.Norma

Laphroaig is offering consumers the chance to personalise their bottle of 10 Years Old with a bespoke label printing tool.
The specially designed app personalises bottles with descriptions of its friends and foes who never fail to have a strong opinion about the pungent and polarising range of flavours captured in every bottle of Laphroaig.
Capitalising on the growing demand for personalisation, whisky fans can now use this tool to create a unique Laphroaig keepsake or gift for friends and family at selected trade and consumer events worldwide.
The label printing tool is the latest initiative inspired by the brand's #OpinionsWelcome campaign, embracing the divisive tasting profile of Laphroaig and champions the peculiar and individual way the single malt whisky is described by those who love it...or not.

heliya needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 93 designs submitted by 26 freelance designers.
Blue Lotus Catering
I'm a single mom orignally from Iran. I came here with nothing! I worked very hard at every job I've had. Because of my hard work, effectiveness and attentiong to the customer, I was always given more responsibility. I've been managing restaurants and selling catering for the past 14 years. I'm tired of working for other people. It's time for me to start my own business. I want every single client to feel like they are special. High quality food, presentation and service.
I'm creating a simple menu. Very presentable dishes. Ranging from catering an intimate breakfast for a couple, lunch boxes for corporate clients to weddings and showers. I also do event planning.
Small individual parties
Small businesses
Clubs and organizations
Business Meetings and Retreats
Weddings, showers, religious celebrations
My given Iranian name means lotus. I'm looking for a modern, simple logo to show the lotus with its big leaves and we would like to make a connection between the lotus and some thing regarding to the food/catering business.( an asparagus or a fork may be?)
I'm trying to avoid a lot of color. Pastel colors would be nice in either blue or lavender. I don't mind black and white brushed metal texture, as a backround for the colored lotus to stand out in it! See attached picture. The butterfly in color against the black and white background. The picture is used as an example not the content.

Adaptive Learning | News
McGraw-Hill Education launched the company's first adaptive math placement platform at the Educause 2013 conference in Anaheim. ALEKS Placement, Preparation, and Learning (ALEKS PPL) is an adaptive, open-response placement and remediation platform for higher education.
ALEKS PPL uses adaptive technology to assess students' knowledge and place them in the appropriate college math course for their level. Educational institutions have the option of offering ALEKS Placement tests online or on campus in a proctored environment. The tests use open-response questions rather than multiple-choice ones, which are less precise according to the company. The placement test determines students' mastery level of the subject and then offers an individualized six-week Prep and Learning module with periodic progress assessments.
According to Brian Kibby, president of McGraw-Hill Higher Education, fewer than 1 in 10 remedial students graduate from community college within three years, "and we know that inaccurate placement contributes to this problem," he said in a prepared statement. A 2012 report from Complete College America also found that more than 50 percent of students in two-year colleges and 20 percent in four-year universities are inaccurately placed in remedial courses. According to McGraw-Hill Education, ALEKS PPL helps reduce the amount of time students need to spend in remedial math courses and can even help some students bypass those courses entirely.
Key features of ALEKS Placement, Preparation, and Learning include:
McGraw-Hill Education has also announced the availability of ALEKS Placement for first-year chemistry courses.
Further information about ALEKS Placement, Preparation, and Learning can be found at aleks.com.

When all snags and cleaning is completed then Final Completion has been achieved, from this date we offer a 12 month defects liability period and a 24 month "settling" period. The settling period accounts for shrinkages that may appear as the new structure expands and shrinks during different seasons of the year. We also offer a proper Building Contract written by the Joint Contracts Tribunal (JCT), which is recognised as giving you the Customer the appropriate rights and remedies rather than a bespoke Contract heavily favouring the builder.

Sigh. I'm getting old.
I recently read a post at ReadWriteWeb by Scott Fulton, III Mozilla's Plan for Keeping Firefox Relevant in a Post-Browser Web.
That day I became dangerously close to becoming the old technologist guy equivalent of the "You kids get off my lawn!" guy we all probably know.
What is Mozilla doing to my beloved Firefox of the near and dear "future"?
- HTML5 runtime functionally support (for driving in-browser, non system proprietary, web-apps).
- Extending cloud-based services.
- An on-line identity management system called "BrowserID". (How it works)
- and more stuff imagined and planned.
That left me grumbly then John Paul Titlow at ReadWriteWeb posted this Mozilla: We're About to Grab More Data About You, But Here's How We'll Keep It Safe.
Mozilla has some big plans up its sleeve in 2012. The non-profit open source foundation is planning some features for its Firefox Web browser and beyond that will require greater access to user data. In a blog post, the organization explains exactly how it intends to use and handle that data. In short, very carefully.
The blog post John Paul references is up at Mozilla Privacy Blog: Mozilla to Offer New User-Centric Services in 2012.
While I recognize and appreciate the very challenging work that browser developers have (not just at Mozilla), I think I'm grumbly for two primary reasons here with Mozilla.
First, I was a very early adopter of Firefox. It was quicker than IE. It was slimmer (memory and feature bloat) than IE. It was more secure than IE. And I could plug all kinds of things into it (Add-Ons/Extensions) to customize it with only those features and capabilities that helped make my experience on the Web better. If I didn't need it, I didn't' install it and thus kept the Firefox browser lean and mean.
So the browser needs to change to keep up. Bigger, more embedded features. Probably faster. Probably louder too with base-boost and kickers. Hopefully the security alarm on it will be better too.
Secondly, my bones ache every time a new ID management system comes out that gets closer to being a cloud-based requirement. I know, it's for my own good their doing it. Really. I'm so much safer having more and more of my user data off-loaded to the Webs and Clouds. Clearly the higher and higher it goes away from me the safer and safer and harder and harder it must be for the underground dwellers to grab it. Right? What? Oh, I have to just "trust" everyone "out-there" with my user data and All-In-One credentials and stuff. I'm sure everyone will be honorable and diligent in keeping my account and passwords and user data safe and secure. Nobody ever gets their customer's account/password information lost to hackers, or on a laptop, or on a USB stick anymore, or via a network traffic hack. Right? That was just in the "old-days". These new solutions are really, really safer.
I get it. I do. And I appreciate everyone working so hard to keep Firefox and my web experience so much more safe, more secure, and more powerful than ever before. I appreciate modern AC over running a fan past a block of ice to cool my house. Really. And who doesn't like the convenience of a cellular smart-phone over a plain-old copper analog line service wired into your house?
My browser is growing up, and the world it is living is changing as fast as it is.
I still use (and probably will) Firefox as my personal "production" web-browser of choice. It works for me and my way of being productive. That said, when I'm surfing the web, give me Chrome. I guess I have to still drive the daily commuter into work and back, but yeah, on the weekends I like to pull out the latest sports car for tooling around the highways and byways and back roads.
You know, I was a very early adopter of Chrome. It was quicker than Firefox. It was slimmer (memory and feature bloat) than Firefox. It was more secure than Firefox. And I could plug all kinds of things into it (Add-Ons/Extensions) to customize it with only those features and capabilities that helped make my experience on the Web better. If I didn't need it, I didn't' install it and thus kept the Chrome browser lean and mean. In fact, I hear from the Google Chrome Blog that Chrome is about to get more Speed and Security with pre-rendering of pages and enhanced URL and file-download checking. What's not to like about that!
I gotta admit, high-school senior (these kids again!) Danny Stieben's timely post at MakeUseOf blog probably sums it up right: Why It Eventually Won't Matter What Browser You Use [Opinion].
It won't. Honestly. It just won't. Time to face the music and admit I've got to adopt the new (browser/web) core "technology" design model and landscape or I'll become irrelevant and end up spending the rest of my days in that dilapidated and decaying wing of the New Web Mall hanging out with the other curmudgeons and making fun of those really dorky guys and gals still using AOL web-mails, web portal home-pages with their IE 5/6 and Firefox 3 web-browsers. Seriously? Who uses those anymore?!! Get a clue.
Here. Spin a wheel and take a pick. Take one. Use one. Just don't become friends or companions. Someone's bound to change and the relationship will sour, and there will be a new favorite.

Thread: Conficker Consternation.
Results 1 to 3 of 3
#1 Conficker Consternation.04-01-2009, 11:35 AMDoing the worm: Tweak in 'Conficker' sparks fears
By JORDAN ROBERTSON, AP Technology Writer - Tue Mar 31, 2009 7:28PM EDT
SAN FRANCISCO - Even if it's not an April Fools' joke, the latest moves by the dreaded Conficker worm are by no means an Internet Armageddon, either. The worm's alarming outbreak entered a new phase Wednesday as clocks around the world ticked into the first day of April, the day it was scheduled to change programming.
But security experts appeared correct in their predictions that the day was likely to come and go without any major disruptions, even though the worm has infected anywhere from 3 million to 12 million PCs running Microsoft Corp.'s Windows operating system.
Computer infections now are all about making money by stealing people's personal information. And Conficker's authors stand to make more money from renting out parts of their huge "botnet" to spammers or identity thieves than by destroying parts of the Internet.
"These guys have been pretty smart until now the worm is unfortunately very well done," said Patrik Runald, chief security advisor for F-Secure Corp. "So far they haven't been stupid. So why should they start on April 1?"
But panic over the worm had reached a frenzy.
Lori Lynn Pavlovich, a mother of four from Racine, Wis., unplugged her PC and vowed to stay offline for a week after seeing a local TV news report about the worm.
"I get scared real easy when it comes to stuff like that," she said. Pavlovich, who says she keeps her antivirus software and security patches up to date, got back online 24 hours later after a relative assured her that her system was safe.
In the last six months, the worm has also caused sleepless nights for the technicians who maintain corporate and governmental computer systems. European media reported that the French military grounded some of its fighter planes after the Navy's network was infected over the winter.
Companies were on high alert to any change in Conficker's behavior that could affect their systems. But a lot of the heavy lifting for big corporations has already been done. Most large organizations hurried to fix the vulnerability that Conficker exploits long ago Microsoft released a software "patch" for it in October. Many smaller businesses and consumers started worrying about the problem later, making them more vulnerable to infection.
"Consumers are very, very, very aware of this more so than I've seen in years," said Alfred Huger, vice president of Symantec Security Response. "Enterprises are certainly aware of this, and they're treating this seriously, but no more so than other threats they're faced with."
Detecting a Conficker infection is actually very easy. One of the telltale signs is if you're able to navigate the Internet freely but can't access Microsoft's site or the sites for the major antivirus software vendors. Conficker's authors included that feature to prevent infected machines from downloading programs that remove the worm.
That makes it harder to get the Conficker removal programs, but not impossible. Security experts recommend that people with infected machines find a friend whose machine isn't infected, and have that person download the removal tool and e-mail it to them.
Microsoft has offered a $250,000 bounty for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the people responsible for Conficker.
