Bureaucrats from the capital are more likely to recognize the threadbare inland province of Hunan, just across Guangdong's northern border. In Hunan, Mao Zedong's birthplace, most people still regard private enterprise with condescension. While the province once benefited heavily from investment in state enterprises, some of those facilities have become a drain on resources. With local officials abiding by the directives of central planners in Beijing, state-owned stores are consistently short of both agricultural and consumer goods...

Several companies are now marketing "vaccine" programs that offer some protection against uninvited invaders, but none are foolproof. Experts advise users to make backup copies of their important disks and to regard each new piece of software as a potential carrier until it has been thoroughly tested...

In its 1984 Grove City College v. Bell decision, the Supreme Court ruled that those laws were not intended to apply to entire institutions that receive federal aid, such as colleges, hospitals and corporations, but only to particular programs. Thus a university laboratory that received federal research grants could not discriminate, but the same university's history department that got no cash from Washington could. Legislators howled that the court...
