Bad things happened, that's not a reason to erase inanimate, historical, objects from history. Insert whole free speech defend though I disagree speech here.
I would also like to note that I have personal experience with some proboards.com users abusing the send message to all members capability. Their use of the send to all function meets some definitions of spam. You know what? the particularly annoying user just might have been hosted on proboards21.com. I'm not sad to see that they have been stopped, even though I disagree with the method used.
Really, this is slashdot after all. Just buy a console server, or use your linux box as one. I have an old Honeywell console server that works great for text based games. You may need one of a more recent vintage to handle graphics.
Seriously though, why can't the game console manufacturers agree on a standard? Console game support for USB HID devices would be really nice. I have a dream... one controller per person, no matter the console or game.
Eolas is not a patent profolio company by a long shot, they are a pure R&D company.
You can see some of the things thay have patented here.
I seem to recall a article where the founder of Eolas was talking about a patent war against Microsoft, not because they wanted royalties but because they objected to the I.E.ization of the web.
Notice that Eolas is going after Microsoft, not Sun or Mozilla.
Standard practice for patent profolio companies is to prey on the weaker first.
Eolas went after the main standard breaker with their lawsuit. I think this should give us some hope about Eolas's intentions.

Update to my previous post:
In the MT Features page they say that PostgreSQL and Oracle support is in the works and in the install documentation they give directions for installing with PostgreSQL (DBD::Pg), it looks like they are still working on Oracle support.
Since they appear to be using the perl database abstraction libraries adding support for another database should just be a matter of translating the database schema used at install time to whatever database you want to use, installing it, and telling MT where to look for the database.
MT is "open source" even if it is not free software or OSI open source.

Movable Type works quite well with PostgreSQL. I currently run MT on OpenBSD with PostgreSQL, setup was painless and the performance is great. If Akamai decently handles changes in static HTML you should have no problems. For a buisness setting Zope with Plone might be a better idea, It's workflow controls would probably be a necessity.
Sure, I would love internet access under the terms of public roads, 65mph/65kbps on a highway / fast circuit sounds just great
I'll keep my monopoly provided, $60 per month cable internet service, thank you. People who cannot afford to pay for internet access can use the public library terminals.
Unless something better comes along (No, Unix/Linux does not even come close)
State Farm and Caterpillar will continue using mainframes for many years to come, why?
Because the costs resulting from downtime on the comparatively unstable open systems
platforms is far greater then the cost of service contracts.
Behind most fortune 500 companies there are several mainframes, and they do not keep
buying them just to spend money or to run "legacy" applications. Not coincidently, most
fortune 500 companies use java. Java has been available on the mainframe for quite some time now.
Sf and cat both know where to use and do use Unix and windows servers, passing email and serving web pages, but the database work? mainframe all the way. Oracle on Sun does not even come close to
the power of DB2 on IBM zSeries.
The Illinois university computer systems tend to be heavily mainframe based because they were
on the leading edge of computer adoption back when mainframe was the only option. So long as they
continue to work I doubt that they will be replaced any time soon. With the state budget crunch they better keep working because there is no money to replace them. (wacky Illinois finance paperwork for state agencies: continuing expensive service contracts is easy but purchasing cheap new hardware is hard).
Free bit of trivia: Illinois university system programmers helped make IBM's mainframe OSs what they are today, just as IBM contributes code to Linux, so the ISUs' contributed code to IBM and the mainframe community at large.
I've used Shin Etsu G-746 for ~3 years and have yet to have it dry out. While I have never used G-749 I do know that Hitachi used G-746 on their S/390 compatable mainframe line and I highly doubt that they would go with a low quality silicone compound considering the quality of the components in those things (no generic parts anywhere, everything of the highest quality).
If the money spent on the ISS and the shuttle was diverted to projects like the Pathfinder, we'd have robots sampling Europa's oceans within the decade. Why risk human lives and billions of dollars on lower orbit?
Simple: Robots do not have the popular interest that humans do among the general population. If you take out the human interest you take out the popular support. The best thing Bush could do now is announce a program to get a team on mars like what JFK did for the moon(a side effect of which would naturally be a replacement for the shuttle) nothing gets support like a triumphant recovery from tragedy.

form the Dialectizer Not Discriminatory Statement
" The Dialectizer is not intended to be racist, sexist, or otherwise demeaning or discriminatory toward any ethnic, religious, or cultural group, or any other minority (or even majority). Nowhere on this site will you find any advocation of discrimination against any group of people, which is what racism is. Although the vast, vast majority of the email I've received about The Dialectizer, most notably from those who consider themselves among those one of The Dialectizer's dialects tries to emulate, has been highly complimentary, there are a scant few who are concerned that The Dialectizer may be racist in nature and have accused me of such. It isn't. No where are racial issues even mentioned. And while cultural differences are acknowledged, no where is there the expression or implication that one cultural group is inherently inferior than another cultural group; nor do I advocate anywhere, explicitly or implicitly, that one cultural group should be discriminated against. The simple fact is that I have a strong aversion to such discrimination and despise true racism as much or more than those complaining that The Dialectizer might be. Discrimination against whole racial or cultural groups is a terrible abomination. However, the acknowledgement of cultural differences is not inherently an expression of discrimination -- nor should it be. In fact, calling it that only increases tensions between ethnic groups, as it makes people paranoid even to talk about these issues that so desperately need to be talked about. Acknowledgement of cultural differences is not bad. Discrimination based on cultural differences is. The Dialectizer acknowledges cultural differences but does not discriminate. The Dialectizer attempts to find humor in cultural differences, but this humor is absolutely not intended to be demeaning in any way. It does not make fun of cultural dialects; rather, it mines humor that may be found when certain English passages are expressed in a dialect we are not used to hearing such English passages expressed in. By no means is The Dialectizer intended to ridicule or demean. It is my hope that, by deriving non-discriminatory and non-demeaning humor from cultural differences, we will be able to relax and ease the tensions that make good race relations so difficult to achieve otherwise. Let's face it. The only way we will ever conquer racism, sexism, and other forms of discrimination is not by suppressing those differences but by cherishing them, bringing them out into the open in such a comfortable and non-threatening way that we ourselves become at ease enough with them so that we need not be ashamed of them -- so that we can talk about race relations in a way that isn't grave or guarded or fearful of dire consequence -- so that we may treat racial differences for what they are: extant but, when making any sort of judgment of character, insignificant.
