  1. Conferences will Continue on Comdex Operators File for Bankruptcy · · Score: 2, Informative

    It seems that according to their press release, they have a plan and intend to continue with all conferences.

  2. FlightLinux Project at NASA on Linux In Space: Red Hat Rides The Rocket · · Score: 5, Informative

    It seems NASA had a Flight Linux project that ended in June 2002. Interestingly enough, they link back to slashdot in their publications listing.

  3. Been There Done That on SBC Patents Links, Dynamic Pages · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Wired had an article last year about British Telephone's lawsuit against Prodigy for violating their patent on hyperlinks. So who really owns this patent?

  4. An Alternative on Unintended Results From U.S. Hardware Dumps In Asia · · Score: 1
    After reading this article, I did a quick google search to see what was available as an alternative to recycling. I found Share the Technolgy, an organization that matches those in need with those who have something to give. It seems like a great idea to me. They have an online database in which to search your particular area of the world for those in need.

    I know that my company alone disposes of numerous skids of workstations and servers every year. We have tried in the past to use recycling companies and have recently been using a used hardware reseller that charges us a fee to wipe the contents of the drives, but in return shares the profits for all equipment sold (I think we get 65%). The benefit to us is that we get a list of serial numbers that we have disposed of and how they were disposed (recycled, sold, etc..). We probably break even on the financial side. If you are interested in selling (or buying) check out Redemtech.

  5. Crazy Talk on Richard Stallman On KDE/GNOME Cooperation · · Score: 1

    Collaboration, unified themes, this is crazy talk! Where will you ever find developers with diverse beliefs working together to improve a product?

  6. Foot Powered Cash Registers on Foot-Powered Laptop · · Score: 1

    Finally, checkout clerks will have one huge calf muscle to match their one large bicep.
