Biviano said this variant of Bropia can easily be avoided, because it exploits vulnerabilities that could have been patched months ago and relies on people opening a file through MSN Messenger.

The co-ordinators of the responsible committee of legal affairs of the EU parliament pointed the way for a restart of the proceedings concerning the directive of "computer-implemented inventions" this evening. "We decided more or less unanimously, with only two abstentions, that our president [i.e. President of the EP] will move for a new conferral", SPE-coordinator Maria Berger told heise online after the conference which had lasted three hours. As soon as President Joseb Borell complies with the urging of the committee, the Commission is exhorted to deal with the directive again. Specifically, the Commission is expected to send the draft to the EP once again or to present a new one.

The lost matter could amount to about half of all the ordinary matter in the universe. Ordinary matter -- stars, planets, everything on Earth -- accounts for only 5 percent of what cosmologists believe exists. The rest is invisible dark matter and a mysterious force known as dark energy.
