  2. Sad day ... Stephen King dead at 55 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic


    I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.

    Go to Google News and do a search on CORBA.

    The first returned result is pretty insightful.

    This is really good news. I am so tired of keeping track of userids and passwords for all the sites I access. Microsoft is in a tough spot. They innovate like crazy, but the American way is to trash success. Liberty alliance is a passport knockoff created, not for a profit motive for the member firms, but as a step towards hurting microsoft because. That action basically just created a huge split in single-sign-on so neither took off. Passport was never for profit and is extremely convenient
