Here's a quoute from the article: Apparently IBM IBM has committed to maintain the level of mainframe experts in the field, which means adding 20,000 or so people who are trained in mainframe technologies between now and 2010
"SPECmail2001 is an industry standard benchmark designed to measure a system's ability to act as a mail server compliant with the Internet standards Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and Post Office Protocol -Version 3 (POP3). The benchmark models consumer users of an Internet Service Provider (ISP) by simulating a real world workload. The goal of SPECmail2001 is to enable objective comparisons of mail server products."
Quark is still around, and they have a solid user base in the media industry, not to mention the GPL:ed page layout program Scribus, which is coming along nicely...
Not to mention the confidentiality issue... I work for a financial services company, and a few years ago, we were looking at ways to quickly re-purpose a bunch of PDF documents to HTML, and one proposed solution was a web service that offered online conversion of such documents for free.
Perhaps you were looking at my Online viewer for PDF, PostScript and Word?;) - The viewer is GPL, so if privacy is a concern, you still have the ability to install it on your own servers...
Fwiw: Smyge was the first test platform in the Swedish stealth programme. Apparently it was successful enough that the Royal Swedish Navy decided to go ahead and order six corvettes based on Smyge technology. These corvettes have been dubbed the "Visby Class Corvette" (the first vessel built was the Visby, named after a Swedish city). The shipyard has some information about the Visby corvettes. The Visby naming ceremony, held in June 2000, was reported on by Jane's defense.

Fractint has three features that you can use in conjunction to generate fractal images of this size. 1) Batch video mode, 2) Tiling, and 3) a way to fit the tiles together to a single image.
To get started, check out the sections "Batch mode" and "Disk-Video Modes" in the fractint help file.
The homepage of Fractint is http://www.fractint.org/, which unfortunately seems to be down for the moment...
Not very surprising. In my experience, the PDF and Word documents (in that order) are the Lingua Franca of the EU for publishing and exchanging documents.
I can't answer for anyone other solutions, but Tarantella Vision2K *says* it has support for both RX and LBX. As for the ASP part, I know of at least one that is using Tarantella. Whether they're putting RX/LBX to good use, I wouldn't know...
New versions of Gnutella clients should make it possible to block known audit nazis like Ranger Inc, possibly by a list of known IP-addresses. A community based effort to maintain a web page with offending IP's wouldn't be too hard to maintain.
Has anyone spotted Ranger Inc and know what IP's they're operating under? Anybody got any other information about how the operate?

Like the author of the article, I too have been collecting the most poetic entries:
Sorry. You're not first. 605 Google hits for "Hype 2.0" so far:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22hype+2.0%
You should see my admin key: it is a 10^12 digit mersenne prime.
;)
Hey! You should tell the GIMPS guys! They've only gotten up to ones that are 10^10 digits big!
Here's another article from the Big Iron newsletter, "Mainframe, Z Next Generation".

It is not. In addition to the SMTP service, the benchmark models POP3 service as well. From the FAQ, http://www.spec.org/mail2001/docs/faq.html :
"SPECmail2001 is an industry standard benchmark designed to measure a system's ability to act as a mail server compliant with the Internet standards Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and Post Office Protocol -Version 3 (POP3). The benchmark models consumer users of an Internet Service Provider (ISP) by simulating a real world workload. The goal of SPECmail2001 is to enable objective comparisons of mail server products."
And pointing out the obvious:
The word "algorithm", which a few of the fellow slashdotters might be familiar with, comes from "Al-Khwarizmi"...

Lewis Carroll
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought--
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One two! One two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
"And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"
He chortled in his joy.
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

If you look at the more recent November 2003 list instead of the older June 2003 one, this cluster would rate more like #84 than #38.
My Internet version of the Borgesian Library: Linkfinity - "The infinite monkeys of links"
Wielding our might
Is now our plight
Through the godgiven right
Of our moral height
A peacebringing flight
Surely welcome sight
Bringing freedom light
To a deserted night
Preemptive in spite
Of the human right

How about lessnet (as in wire- and -is more) ;-)
