Unfortunately this is quite true, its a cliche, but very true; 'money is what makes the world go round.'
Most governments have protecting thier income and resources as a higher priority than protecting thier citizens...
Slashdot is now covering releases of programminglibraries...
What is the point of this? This is definitely not newsworthy... There are thousands of useful libraries out there, what make wxEmbedded so special it merits its own announcement???
This story is Plain Stupid.

Sakila the Dolphin... what the?!? should have called him/her Mr. Jones (from Johnny Mnemonic). That dolphin could detect submarines and had the uncanny ability to surf the internet and people's minds via virtual reality too. Now that is one cool dolphin...
Its not really, except its more limited, (no races/stats etc). Being written in Python, the creation system is very OO, eg.
1. create object (switch, sign, monitor etc)
2. create methods (pull, push, examine)
There is also an event system, so objects methods can be run at a certain time of day, or when people walk into and out of rooms. Its all quite simple really, I wrote it as an exercise to learn Python and socket programming, so the code probably isnt that great.
I have written a very basic IF authoring system in Python.
I created the surface level (forest/building etc) from Zork 1, then implemented the underground levels from the orginal Advent.
Its all a bit clunky, however there is one big difference to normal IF engines... its multiuser. If anyone wants the code, its free to a good home, I am no longer interested in working on it.
I think I see a pattern here -- announce move to linux on day 1, on day 2 sign a deeeeeply discounted deal with Microsoft.
Or more likely: day 2 MS threatens to audit, sending telstra scrambling for 45000 WinNT4 licenses...
day 3: telstra signs standard subscription deal for next X years to avoid lawsuit.
My brother manages construction projects for Telstra in Western Australia. Over the last few weeks I have been helping him create a damage expense reporting system.
He said that telstra's annual IT expenses account for a third of the total expenses; and because of this the new CIO/CTO is cutting back radically on IT expenses... that means no new software development... therefore he is developing the expense system himself!

It was Solitaire of course!
Poor guy (not too bright) put the stuff in his trouser pockets... a few minutes later his pants were on fire!

Skynet?
Its GPL, which means they have to provide the source if someone asks for it. In what what is KDE taking their ball and going home?

Gee it would be fun to watch wouldn't it?

Sure, call the kernel Linux. Thats what it is called. But when you say 'Linux', dont mean the entire system.
Q: Why did the robot turn into a ghost?
A: Because he couldn't rust in peace.
