Firebird Goes Gold

An Anonymous Coward writes: "A lot has happened since Borland open sourced their Interbase database. Borland has since come out with a new closed source version of Interbase, forcing the Phoenix group to fork the codebase, calling their new database Firebird. Over the past month they have come out with Firebird version 1.0 for various UNIX variants, Windows, and Mac OS X and are now working on moving the code base from C to C++. A great description of Firebird is found here. To show your support, order Firebird on CD."

    Hit your preferences page, about the 5th option down should be something called 'Collapse Sections', put a check mark in that, go to the end of the page and hit the save button. You should now see all the articles that show up in each of the sections of /. but don't get put up on the front page. And yeah, its normal for not all of them to make the front page.
