MySQL AB Settles With NuSphere
PCM2 writes "It appears that MySQL AB has settled its dispute with NuSphere over use of the MySQL trademarks. CEO Marten Mickos has punctuated the occasion with a donation to the FSF -- but there's no mention of what the actual terms of the settlement were, and there's no statement on NuSphere's site either (yet)."

"I Don't Fucking Care"
Why is it that anytime someone tries to post something rational, they are shown no respect by the lesser 5% or so of Slashdot users? I think Slashdot would be a much more productive place if the personal attacks were eliminated. I realize that the whole reason for moderation is so you don't have to read the garbage posts but it saddens me that some people still feel a need to flame.
From correspondents in Tehran, Iran November 07, 2002 IRANIAN police have arrested a man who calmly walked into a bank and attempted to rob it while convinced he was invisible, the Jam-e-Jam newspaper reported. The paper said customers at the Tehran bank were stunned to see the man stride into the bank and begin to help himself to large quantities of banknotes. The man, whose identity was not given, was quickly overpowered before police were called. But appearing in court, he tearfully told the judge that he had been the victim of a con. "I had recently been to see a Muslim holy man, because I was looking for a way to get rich. He made me pay five million rials ($1115) for a parchment that made me invisible," he was quoted as saying. The paper said the man had been jailed, while police were hunting the swindling sorcerer. A similar case was reported here last year, when three people - also believing themselves to be invisible - were detained at Tehran's international airport trying to board a Europe-bound plane without tickets or passports.
