A lot of people have this attitude here in Europe, but I don't think thats what this is about.
The article I read about this on a german website points out what is bad about the american patent office and the patents on software which are granted there at the moment.
Another point they make is that 75% of the illegal patents in Europe are from non european countries, so there is no benefit for Europe through a lot of these patents.
Maybe we find out about the real names and versions of all the Sasser and Netsky variants now. The ones we know now are just made up by the anti virus guys after all.
heise.de today mentions that Microsoft will pay $250000 to the (less than five) informants.
It is too bad that the Go Penpoint OS never made it. In my opinion it was a very nice system and well designed. The Apple Newton came close, but not quite.
I read the book "The Power of Penpoint" by Robert Carr, Dan Shafer but never had one of their computers myself (they are pretty rare in Europe). I nearly bought one on ebay recently though.
I agree with you too, I had to think a while until I came up with a program that fits your requirements.

Wired [wired.com] has up a story [wired.com] about HP, as part of a larger drive to figure out how ideas ideas 'infect' large groups of people, scientifically proving what most people already knew: bloggers steal [hp.com] their ideas from other bloggers.
In Cologne Germany they have a lego shop where you can fill up cups of different sizes with lego blocks from a good selection and than pay by cup size. Similar to some sweet store.
I like using bookcrossing for the books I want to get rid off. Just for the paperbacks I would throw away otherwise. The others I lend to friends so I can borrow them whenever I need too.
I have a handfull of email addresses, all of those are pretty public on websites, mailling lists, business cards and so on. I basicly give my address to everyone who asks. I have been doing this since 1992.
As a result of this I get about 300 spam messages a day and maybe 20 good messages.
SpamAssassin catches 99% of the spam and made me stop careing about giving out email addresses or making it awkward to use them by people who want to contact me.
I think that if you change your behaviour because of the spammers they win. Let the technology deal with it.
Having RPM packages of Perl modules makes managing them on RPM systems much easier. You just have to build the RPMs on one machine and then you can distribute them very easy on all your systems.
It also solves the problem of removing CPAN modules nicely.
So I think its a good to have a central place to find thes RPMs.
It would be even better if you would be able to access these with apt-get or yum obviously.
I am not going to translate the whole thing, but it says that some of the National Grid USA system is based on OPC from Northern Dynamics which uses COM/DCOM for communication.
Slashdot Mirror
I ordered six domains through netsol and didn't get one. Maybe this explains it.
shows a pagerank of 7 for me
Well, I did see 4 out of 6 and didn't bother with fifth. The reason was the quality of the the fourth and the reviews of the fifth.
I still might watch it if there is nothing else to rent.
You seem to be the 623057th Slashdoton it seems. But thats just in cronological order.
This wouldn't have been Tower 42 which includes a bar and a restaurant ?

I had no idea how exciting paper can be, or talking about paper.
I think there should be more websites devoted to it, maybe paperspotting.com or formatadmirers.com
Must be friday.

Hmmm... they forgot to mention the great work he did on SFRaves and http://www.hyperreal.org/
Maybe a bit too underground for your average CV

And in good slashdot duplicate story tradition:

I know I said it before, but I think a moderation system for stories would be good. That would get rid of the duplicates pretty quick.
I just bought a Ericsson t39m on ebay. Its lovely small, doesn't have colour display, fancy ring tones or a camera.
But it does have bluetooth and works nicely with my Palm Tungsten T3, which I use now to read/write SMS and connect to the net.

Current Redhat and Fedora anaconda still support text mode installs, but some things like the partion editor are much easier to use in graphical mode.
He sent a long open letter to SAtalk. You can find it in the mailing list archive

Did anyone actually try to build this on Linux? Or is everyone using the binary versions?
I tried building an rpm with the source and it didn't work.
Others seem to have the same problem: bug 222241
Others are having problems too: bug 222241
I didn't have to convince them, but nildram in the uk did upgrade
Not being based in the US helps a lot too.

nice theory anyway.
