Managing Software Acquisition
Evaluation of the metrics of a project, Project A, warned us that the schedule proposed by the contractor-14 months-was unrealistic. Thirteen months later, as we expected, the contractor had to add nine months to the delivery schedule. This kind of delay happened so often as to be characteristic. The problem facing the KPN purchasing organization was making measurement effective at the beginning of the purchasing process, rather than a sad footnote at the end of it.

Anti-Virus Protection Not Used by PC Owners
Almost a quarter of home and office PC users running anti-virus software don't update it regularly, leaving themselves vulnerable to newly minted viruses, according to a June 2000 survey conducted by Central Command, a supplier of anti-virus software. This high awareness of computer viruses following outbreaks of the Chernobyl and Melissa virus and the LoveLetter worm (which disabled millions of PCs around the world) have obviously not translated into safer computing practices. The survey was the largest ever conducted on the topic and was emailed to nearly half a million PC users. It had 54,091 responses--a 16% response rate.

Choice of Law in Cybyerspace
For companies doing business on the Web, it has become standard to state in the website's terms and conditions of use that users who have a dispute must pursue such claims within the state in which the company is located, and pursuant to that state's laws. From the company's perspective, this makes sense, as fighting lawsuits in fifty different states, and even overseas, could prove prohibitively costly and strategically undesirable. Consumers have argued that the system is unfair, however, as it requires a user to bring a claim far from home, even for a small dispute.

Sign on the Dot-Com Line (Aug 2000)
After years of talk, electronic signatures are finally becoming a reality. A new law goes into effect October 1, 2000 which will facilitate the use of electronic signatures to secure electronic transactions. The term "electronic signature" has become the generic name for what is actually a wide variety of means of authenticating the identity of parties to a transaction. One strength of the new law is that it is broad enough to embrace the plethora of electronic signature verification mechanisms, rather than promoting the use of just one.

The Ins and Outs of Online Ads (Jul 2000)
Until now, the rule for online advertisements and disclosures was that the same basic principles of fairness and honesty which apply to other media were equally applicable online. That policy lacked any detail and did not provide any substantive guidance to online merchants and advertisers. As a result of this gray area, unscrupulous advertisers exploited the ambiguity through online practices that ranged from misleading to outright fraud. The government has intervened in severe cases, but until recently, no affirmative policy existed.
