    The SD.DupeStory.2004 virus has been running rampant. Although, experts claim it is simply an operator error.

    The Wix Project which was the first project to be released by microsoft as free code, is an XML based windows installer suite. This is a good alternative to Nullsoft's if you are looking for something a little more hands on.

    The project can be found at http://wix.sourceforge.net

    I am not trying to undermine Gartner, but this poll seems to be inconsistant with the recent netDeck poll which stated linux hardware rose 31% as opposed to the stated 57% here.

    What wasn't reported though is that the company Gyration already has patent pending on gyroscopic mouse technology. Gyration had already released an open letter last week addressing this when the cell phone mouse was first announced.

    This reminds me a lot of the TruStore project which has been around for about 9 months. They have been working to implement seamless encryption into MS Sql server. I believe they even have betas available.

    This reminds me of the F/OSS project FreeMobil which popped up about 4 months ago. They have been working on a Mini-ITX running Linux and 802.11b to let cars communicate with each other in various ways.

    Just about a year ago i remember there was a SVG story here on /., and i was amazed to see how many nay-sayers there were posting that SVG would never really succeeed. More than 10 people pointed out that Adobe has not even developed the SVG plugin in years and stopped supporting it.

    Now it seems as though the majority of people here are very strongly supporting it and rallying behind it. At least thats a start.

    well, it hasnt really been widely implemented yet, so its hard to say how it will turn out. but many people have high hopes for it.

    a search on google (http://google.com) can be very informative in finding good information on IPV6.

  20. *Beagle 2 is dying on Still No Contact from Beagle 2 · · Score: 0, Troll

    It is official; NASA confirms: *Beagle 2 is dying

    One more crippling bombshell hit the already discouraged and defeated European community when NASA confirmed that Beagle 2 has dropped yet again after Beagle 1 showed to be a miserable failure as well. Coming on the heels of a recent Gallop survey which plainly states that Britain and Europe as a whole has lost the peoples confidence in their ability to innovate and make progress, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. The European space program is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in the recent International Standardized Aerospace Aptitude Test.

    You don't need to be a Kreskin [amdest.com] to predict *Beagle 2's future. The hand writing is on the wall: *Beagle 2 faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for *Beagle 2 because *Beagle 2 is dying. Things are looking very bad for *Beagle 2. As many of us are already aware, *Beagle 2 continues to lose contact. Red ink flows like a river of blood.

    The British Space Program is the most endangered European Space Prgram of them all, having lost 93% of its core engineers. The sudden and unpleasant disapprovals of long time British visionaries Tony Blair and Princess Diana only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: The British Space Program is dying.

    Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.

    French Space Program leader Jacques states that there are 24 Space Program Engineers. How many German Space Engineers are there? Let's see. The number of French Space Engineers versus German Space Engineers completed space projects is roughly in ratio of 4 to 1. Therefore there are about 23/4 = 6 German Space Engineers. Italian Space Engineers are about half of the volume of German Space Engineers. Therefore there are about 3 Italian Space Engineers. A recent article put British Space Program at about 80 percent of the European Aerospace Industry development. Therefore there are (24+6+3)*4 = 134 British Space Engineers. This is consistent with the number of failed British Space prgrams to date.

    Due to the troubles of the European Union, abysmal technological and warfare innovations, and so on, the Beagle 2 has lost all contact with Earth and was shadowed over by the Spirit of the American Aeronautical Space Program. Now Beagle 2 is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.

    All major surveys show that The *British Space Program has steadily declined in consumer confidence. The *British Space Program is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If The *British Space Program is to survive at all it will be among sci-fi dilettante dabblers. The *British Space Program continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, The British Space Program is dead.

    Fact: Beagle 2 is dying
