  1. Good, but on Opengroupware · · Score: 5, Interesting
    This is certainly a great step in the right direction, but Microsoft will be releasing their next-generation Titanium Exchange server. The major new feature of Titanium is integrated mobile device support for accessing your calendar, emails, etc.

    It sure would be nice to see these features in an open source alternative!

  2. Re:The golden rule, as always.. on Open Source Organization Models Discussed · · Score: 1, Interesting
    Sorry, but that is not the golden rule.

    The golden rule is, "he who has the gold makes the rules".

    Draw your own conclusions.

  3. Things that make you go Huh? on Restrictive Sales Practices on the Web? · · Score: -1, Troll
    You have to add items to your "shopping cart" and then make use of the "check out" button.

    In other words, it might help if you explain exactly what your problem is. Or is this just Slashdot trying to shed the "U.S. Centric" rap?

  4. Re:Never heard of him on Dijkstra's Manuscripts Available Online · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I used your troll generator for my "Goto is Dying" post. Do you like it?

    Very good, now try looking up "joke" on google

    Didn't you know that Slashdot posts some stories in the mysterious future?

  7. Relevant Details on USL vs BSDI Documents · · Score: 5, Interesting

    From reading this story you might get the impression this case was ongoing or perhaps recent. But actually, this case was settled over 10 years ago (February 4, 1994). BSDI agreed to substitute a port of the University of California's in a release which became known as 4.4 BSD(Lite) for BSD/386.

    Interestingly, this settlement also contained this ominous clause : "Additionally, engineers will be completing the SCO binary emulation mode and completing the port of BSDI's operating system to the SPARC architecture." (Emphasis mine)

  8. That didn't take long on Warriors Of Freedom Prompted Rampage Attempt? · · Score: 1
    to make the usual videogame connection.

    But what about the adult who killed 5 of his co-workers in Mississippi? Are we going to blame that on videogames also?

  9. Break even? on Armadillo Aero One Step Closer To Space · · Score: 5, Funny
    instruments recorded some 10 G's on touchdown

    I'm not sure how much it costs to put this thing up. But, at 10 G's per touchdown, a bunch of more of these and they may get close to breaking even!

  10. Electronic voting in U.S. on Inside Electronic Voting Machines · · Score: 5, Interesting
    Here in Georgia we had an electronic voting summit in Savannah and examined products from eSlate, AccuVote-TS and the iVotronic.

    The short story is that they were all very flashy and glitzy, but all had severe problems with security and/or usability. We eventually decided to run a pilot program in last year's off-year election and try out 5 of the most promising machines in a real-world election. The final winner will be used across the state in 2004.

    No more hanging chad, but I think we are going to have a whole new set of problems to deal with.

  11. Other JSP books on JSP and Tag Libraries for Web Development · · Score: 5, Informative

    A great list of other introductory JSP books can be found here...

    Are you hiring? ;)

  13. Move On? Hardly on .Net:... 3 Years Later · · Score: 1, Interesting
    Look at the job postings on Monster or ComputerJobs.

    Roughly half the jobs listed in Windows want at least some .NET or C# experience. The majority of the others are J2EE/Java.

    This article is just more FUD. There is no doubt that .NET, and ASP.NET in particular (aspx pages) is the future of software development on Windows - on Linux also, if you believe Mono...

  14. Re:Good Grief! on Screensaver Bug in Mac OS X · · Score: 0

    Then why do they put a password on the screen saver at all? The ILLUSION of security is good enough for you? Would you have said the same thing if it was a Win XP bug?
