Whew!Could somebody just write a summary to this long article?
By the way I have here a news item which mentions of technology that promises to establish national borders on the Net. Well that could be one way of cyber-control.

Here's an example.

Well the reality seems to be too harsh
So now we can all start dreaming. And here are some tips on dreaming well and enjoying your experience.

Yahoo Adopts Anti-Takeover Strategy
Yahoo is at present probably faced by take over threats and is therefore getting as much of it's act toghether as is possible, which is not much though.
-
You are rightHere is what one expert has to say on this.
"I thought a few telecoms might go bankrupt, and maybe 3G would take longer to roll out than previously expected. It was all a big joke -- it never once crossed my mind that 3G might never even happen. "

Tough times for ISPs"ISPs might be seeing cost increases.."
These guys already seem to be in a soup. Here's an example.
High-speed ISPs nationwide have faced many difficulties providing competing DSL service with data competitive local exchange carriers (DLECs) and Baby Bells.

Can the entrepreneurial minds of Founder's Camp find a spellchecker?

MS has all the luckI wouldn't be surprised if after dragging on for a long time it ended in a lame sentence that wouldn't have any impact on MS.

Re:Would an agency be more concerned than the BankI am sure any bank would be very concerned with its reputation and aware of its competition, and will take more pains to ensure that its online customers get adequate security. After the leek of such reports many an employee and heads of E-divisions would have been grilled by the banks. Where income and survival is concerned the online banks themselves will prove to be their own police and insure customer data.

This is scarySecurity problems seem to keep cropping up. Does anyone know of any recent case where individuals lost their savings?
Maybe it's time again to buy gold and bury it in the backyard

Contracts can be bothersomeSometime for people like me contracts are bothersome because I am constantly shifting and therefore have to keep informing these guys of a change in address and inspite of that they always mail the letters or mags to the old add. And if money is involved I actually loose a lot because of default in submitting the amount in time. Some of the new occupants never bother to redirect either.
-
Not a new tactic at allYou offer some incentive and threaten some harm.
Anyway it is not unusual to use ad orders to try to influence the editorial. What I don't understand though is how are the small sites harming Apple. With most companies flouting vaporware every so often, these small sites are just taking it a step further - someone else puts out the vaporware for the company.
-
Hope it is true.I am fed up of vaporware.
-
Sue AOL for IM monopolyAll the initiative to use a standard IM protocol is useless without AOL participating. Maybe AOL should just licence the use of its IM API.
-
Re:Better use of fundsThe fact is that there are starving and homeless people in practically every country - even the US and UK, only that it is more so in African countries. I am not against exploration and Seti@home is a great stuff but there has to be a balance. Spending such huge sum doesn't seem to be justified.
Also, space exploration and research is different from SETI. The former might actually help us survive if a comet does target the earth.

Old newsThis seems to be old news. I am sure the trend has changed after the dot-coms started collapsing. Check out the article Some college grads are shunning dot-coms. Not all (or even most) IT jobs are in dot-coms, but if you don't see instant millions then you are more likely to plan long term and finish college.

IrrelevantAren't we having these debates too often. GPL freedom seems to be too restrictive. Kinda like, you are free to speak anything AS LONG AS YOU DON'T OFFEND ANYONE AT ALL.
-
Still doesn't seem very feasableWhat with France suing Yahoo, Germany putting it's own conditions, Saudi Arabia making big chunks of internet inaccessible to its citizens, Indonesia passing laws affecting internet use and then repealing them. I am sure the list goes on.
-
Feels wrongSo they used technology to save space but isn't it like they leased (without cost) space on their server to store music you already own. Guess they (mp3.com) might as well have removed the restriction and stolen some thunder from Napster.

Any advantage in PHP over mod_perlI am already familiar with writing perl scripts and understand some of the nuances of mod_perl programming.
Is there any advantage in playing around with PHP? Basically, are there certain situations where PHP is clearly superior to mod_perl/perl?
-
and I just downloaded 1.6Since this is going to be the first time I'll be using Python and I don't really have anything serious to do, might as well start off on 2.0.
-
Loosing sight of the spirit of free softwareThere seems to be a lot of debate on whether a software is really and whether it's license is compatible with GPL. Aren't we missing the real deal though - that the software is indeed free and not under the clutches of a corporate giant (or a corporate dwarf for that matter)
-
Because of LinusLot of coverage that Transmeta is getting seems to be solely due to the fact that Linus is employed there. That certainly seems to be the case here at Slashdot.
-
Nondisclosure - can it really be soSun customers who have been affected by the problem are unwilling to speak openly about it because Sun has persuaded many of them to sign nondisclosure agreements
The nondisclosure agreements were apparently offered with a claim that signing them would bolster Sun's commitment to resolving the problem quickly
Imagine the pissed-off customer having to sign this. Hope the customers now have concrete plans to move over VA Linux or other such Linux servers.

What will they come up with nextIt's been years now that people have been raising the issue of frivolous patents. Of course, they are not frivolous in terms of the negative impact they have but they are pretty obvious and tend to be in the natural progression of things.
Sometimes you wonder whether the patent department is staffed with morons.

ExperienceAnyone here who has actually used it? What's your opinion?

Overturning the judgementWill this help in any way to overturn the judgement?
-
Coolest featureThe coolest feature of Google is the cached pages. The output is somewhat cluttered though. For regular searches I use alltheweb.com
-
Also like MicrosoftOnly they call their real releases 'Service Pack 4' and make you pay for the preview releases.

Any soothsayers?How long before this ruling is overturned?

'For Dummies' a surpriseI was surprised at the success of 'For Dummies', 'For Idiots' and the likes. I guess there aren't any dearth of people who are willing to be called Dummies.
This isn't a reflection on the books though, just the titles.

Change of sceneOne thing is for sure. With the ongoing lawsuits and big stakes and new file sharing softare cropping up, the online music scene is really heating up.
-
That sounds great.Now we need MP3 radios.

Technology will definitely change politicsWith the candidates getting exposure on Yahoo there can be more of a dialog between the candidates and the public. Now politicians will have a tougher time side-stepping issues or just focusing on issues (or dirt) raised by the opponent. They'll now have to consider the real issues.
The other portals should also give space to the candidates. Maybe slashdot could too.
Long live the internet
-
Partly due to broadband haves and have notsBecause of the fact that more people have lower speed connections (mostly dial up), they are likely to stay online only as long as it takes to download a large file. Anyway who'd be interested in downloading from a source that can channel only a few kilobytes a minute.
-
seriousNice to know that these elections are being taken seriously. Given the number of internet users, the number of people who registered with ICANN was dismal.
-
Time to update democracyThey should update democracy anyway. The way things are more than half the people are unaware of or do not understand more than half the issues.
They should add more criteria to the right to vote than just coming of age. For example, you have to be a tax payer before you can influence any of the tax legislation.
-
This could all be a fadI mean the corporate interest in talking about it and showing support. Somewhat like the stock market infatuation with the Linux companies. This isn't to say that the user momentum or the development pace is going to decline anytime soon.

BatteriesHow much longer would the batteries last?

It started off great.I have had @home for 2 years and have been happy with it overall. The speed is still great. I suspect though that slowly they'll keep removing some of the attractive aspects of its service. One that's affected me is the clamp on the upload speed. I have three computers hooked up to the @home network (by the way that is the max number of IPs you can get) for the 3 people in my family. With the change in upload speed now file sharing between the machines is not so great anymore.

Not very reliable over a bad connectionI was using Yahoo messenger for a while and although I liked their interface, every once in a while I'd realize that it hadn't trasmitted the message and given no warning. Presently I am using MSN Messenger which at least lets me know when the other person is typing a message and also lets me know if the message didn't go through. ICQ has bloated so much that I am avoiding it. Any recommendations on a good IM?
-
I think it is coolUnlike opening your front door using the internet, this actually has the potential to be used often.

VA Linux owns SlashdotGiven that VA Linux owns slashdot, it's commendable of Cliff to put this up. Once I was planning to buy a dual processor machine from a high profile bay area dealer who was selling it preconfigured with Red Hat Linux. Since the version (5.2 I think) didn't support the dual processor by default, I asked about it and found out that they were doing a simple install. Basically the OS was just using one of the processor.

Ad is what made internet bigAlthough internet is about sharing but isn't ad that made internet grow the way it did. Most of the initial dot-com had ad revenue as the sole stream of revenue. Like spam we aren't going to see the end of ad soon either.

No end to spamSpam's not going anywhere. Get a fast internet connection and set up rules to delete and live with the few seconds a day it takes to delete the spam that gets left out by the filter.
