Slashback: Apache, DRM, Limbo
Those guys did not ride in with us. Sascha Schumann of the Apache Software Foundation wrote to correct the story presented in Monday's post (".Net for Apache"), writing "this is _not_ a joint Apache Software Foundation/Microsoft stunt. It has not been approved or endorsed by the Apache Software Foundation, nor does it require any of those acts -- it is a deal between two private companies, Covalent and Microsoft."
Fly on wall video, anyone? kikensei writes: "DSL Reports has a story summarizing last week's DRM round table that was stacked with corporate panel members. You can read it here. It presents a much more apt framework for discussion than the overly sensitive, passive account from Al3x that defined our discussion last week."
Dancing in limbo, limbo, limbo. Earlier this month, we mentioned Red Hat's new beta, called Limbo. wiredog writes "From eWeek, a review of RedHat 8.0 beta. With gcc 3.1,the latest versions of GNOME, Mozilla and OpenOffice, and Apache 2.0"
The force is strong in these metallic boxes. Verizon Guy writes "CNet is reporting that Industrial Light and Magic, the group responsible for rendering the special effects in the Star Wars films, is moving away from their proprietary SGI/IRIX/RISC based systems and is instead moving to Dells running Linux. This will give them 100% performance at 20% of the cost."
Here's a link to our post with the recent Linux Journal article on same; look for more on this soon.
Wear name tags, please. mpawlo writes "Slashdot meetup day is only a week away. Some 4 500 people have already signed up to meet all over the world on Thursday July 25, 2002, 7 pm. We need more fellow Swedes to meet in Stockholm and I guess the same goes for other cities."

Male Prostitutes Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda, Jon Katz Curse, Expose Themselves In Street
by some filthy barslut
Angry residents of Starr Street and Willoughby Street attended last Monday's Citizens for a Better Ridgewood meeting to complain about the growing problem of prostitution near their homes. They complained that prostitutes can be found walking the streets where they live at any hour of the day"sometimes indecently exposing themselves or cursing at the residents of the neighborhood. Extremely frustrated by the constant presence of hookers and pimps, they asked Lieutenant CheezyDee of the 104th Precinct what the police are doing to remedy this situation. Cheezy explained that 104th officers patrol those streets when they can, give out summonses and even make an occasional arrest. However, the lieutenant explained that no matter how many summonses cops give, or how many arrests they make, police activity will not stop the problem because the punishment for prostitution is no more than a slap on the wrist, or in most cases, a violent beating. "They'll be right back out there the next day selling their asses," he said. Lieutenant CheezyDee suggested that the residents of those two streets get organized, band together and hold a protest march.
"You have to work together to try to get rid of them," he said. "The community has to get together as a group and take back the neighborhood." Murray did his best to convince the residents that forming an alliance, and then confronting these prostitutes as a group"if done consistently for a few weeks"would help to rid the neighborhood of the problem. Residents seemed upset by the fact that the 104th Precinct can't do more to alleviate this problem. P.O. Fresh Pond Phil urged residents to consider becoming "blockwatchers" for their street. A blockwatcher is affiliated with the 104th Precinct, and upon signing up, is given a code number which allows him/her to call the precinct and report crimes anonymously.
Some people asked what the difference was between reporting crimes anonymously and just calling regularly, as they do now. P.O. Fresh Pond Phil explained that when a person signs up to be a blockwatcher and then begins to call in to report crimes, the precinct considers that valuable information.

While that may be true for Canada, what about Australia? Aren't their population numbers listed as 'Jack Shit' in the CIA World Factbook or whatever it's called?
Whatever man.. don't be sour cause your american.. So few americans are showing up cause they are scared to leave their house since 80% of people are poor and will rip your rich computer geek ass off for a quarter so they can buy a cheese burger.. or maybe they are scared of a terrorist attack cause 99.9% of americans think that the only thing an arab is good for is a cab driver..
Canadians rule.. and the majority of americans i have met are serious biggots who are brainwashed by the fucking television!
Peace!
