  1. LinuxPlanet Interviews Robert Bork

    Microsoft · · posted by ryuzaki0 · from the weighty-opinions dept. · 276 comments
    Greg writes: "Robert Bork, former Supreme Court appointee from the Reagan era and a recent entrant in the MS antitrust case, did an interview over at LinuxPlanet. The topic? The Evil Empire's court settlement." Bork isn't actually new to the Microsoft case or to the subject of monopolies -- his legal experience makes this an interesting read, even for those who don't consider Microsoft an "evil empire."

  2. A Little Bit Of BBS Nostalgia

    Games · Games · · posted by Hemos · from the i-want-a-genesis-torpedo dept. · 221 comments
    Ron Harwood writes: "I was getting nostalgic for the BBS door games of the late 80's and early 90's -- and decided that some of these could quite easily be brought onto the Web. So, with help from some of the players, I've created a Web version of the old BBS game TradeWars -- and released it as open source. You can try it out at BlackNova.net or download the source for your self at SourceForge. It's made with PHP and MySQL and it's getting reasonably bug free. :)"

  3. Netscape Receives Strong Crypto Export Permission

    Tech · Netscape · · posted by Hemos · from the letting-it-out-at-last dept. · 137 comments
    Greg Miller writes "According to this article , Netscape has received approval to distribute the 128-bit encryption version of Communicator outside the U.S. They've also received limited permission to distribute SuiteSpot servers with strong encryption." [Update: 12/05 03:42 by michael : Slashdot got burned, this article is bogus. See below.]

    Update:: We were fooled. Someone posted this on http://www.activewin.com/frames/frmhome.shtml as new news (suckered them!), which apparently misled the slashdot submitter and us. This is an old press release from 1997 talking about exporting software for certain specialized banking purposes. As far as I know, it's still illegal to generally export 128-bit crypto products.

    Thanks to the alert posters in the threads below and to alecf who was bright enough to submit it in the stories inbox (which any of the assorted slashdot authors who are online might be reading) for a fast response. Sorry for the "desinformation" (is that a pun?).
