Beyond Wordpress, perhaps you should also consider looking at Drupal which is also GPL?
Specifically, my Drupal4Bloggers project is to recreate all the features that MT users are used to in Drupal. Comment spams and the constant need for rebuild after spam attacks is the main reason that drive me away from MT and to start the project.
It is pretty stable now and has all the anti-comment spams features I build for MT plugins (e.g. the popular captcha plugin mt-scode). It also has moderation features Wordpress users are used to. Work is underway to build anti-Trackback spams.

Doesn't anyone realize this is the coolest geek device that runs Linux, with a build-in WiFi, 4Gb harddisk, which makes is almost a functional computer at handheld size, and totally hackable to boot!
(Sure, it is not as powerful as a full-fledge notebook but that could be said the same when notebook first arrive...learn a bit more about disruptive technology history)
Prior to IETF, there is an APNG iDNS Working Group which is working on iDNS since June 1998 before it is move into IETF. (http://www.apng.org/idns/ & http://www.idns.org/)
Walid's patent is a clone of Martin Duerst I-D in July 1997. It is an obvious prior art which should not be granted in the first place.
Cracking is a bad thing. Ethnical cracking is otherwise known as "hacking". Such subtle differences in words are very important, at least to some people.
The article at rootprompt is an re-attempt of The Cuckoo's Egg by Clifford Stoll. Otherwise, nothing more.
The only thing it teaches sysadm is that they have to be more clueful and no other technical value.

To understand the crazy situation, you have to understand how a big country like China works.
First, it is *huge* with lots of level of ministries and officals. Hence, getting approval from one does not means another is okay. Opinion will divide and any announcement is either true or false depending who you speak to. Hence, while it is unlikely China banning Microsoft, there may be some truth that there are some company pushing the government to support Linux.
Second, almost everyone I speak to in China uses Microsoft Windows (Simplified Chinese). Some Chinese geeks uses Linux but that havent filter down to the normal population.
However, forking 100 USD for each copy of MS is not practical in China consider the income level. So, the only viable solution for general population is piracy. So Linux been free is one of a most important advantage.
Of course, there are also national security issues. It is unlikely China would want their IT to be dependent on a US company, not the least Microsoft. And more, even an opensource community will not satisfy the harsh requirements of China. It is more likely they will support a local China product instead.
But of course, some may argue that the Chinese government just spend a lot of time entertaining Gate. But remember that getting investment and meeting Bill Gate is one thing. Giving money and depending on Gate is totally another.
On the issue of GPL, it remains to be seen if China will play by the rules. But been a chinese myself, i say it is somewhere like 0.000001% GPL will hold in China at this moment (Will take some time to sink in). And yes, there is *NOTHING* we can do...

Have slashdot lost its geekiness?

Cisco phone is Skimmy, not SIP based. Someone screw up internally and pre-announce it before it is ready .
The Zylex and Pulver's WiISP comes from the same source. They both OEM from a Taiwan manufacturer. Real cost in Taiwan? US$50.

1. No, it does not work because you don't have the information in the first place.
:-)
2. This sound like a perfect way to shutdown Napster. Fake bad reports to Napster server until every IP is banned
