Orkut is very insecure.
I heard of account deletion because of faked/spoofed "delete my account" mails.

They invented their own licencse. What do you think if Micro$oft buyes Google ?
And its based on.aspx files....
I dont want to know how they care about data privacy
It is quite interesting that Dell allows their departments to setup their own information systems in the way the focused customer is used to.
In such big companys there are often rules how to communicate with customers and they have common ways ("old fashioned") stuff like newsletters, discussion boards, press releases. If they now allow them to setup their own way this sounds like a benefit to the customer. Maybe they start a IRC Server next or publish their own set of linux patches (for dell specific needs).
BTW I would not buy a Dell labtop again my Inspiron is so poorly processed, if you press on the left side, it jiggles at the other....
MySQL is still a database that is growing up. It is of course rock solid and fast (and good for some purpose), but it is missing some of the so called "enterprise" features ("real" replication, performant stored procedures, support from all the enterprise tools ("hot" backup solutions, etc))
It is quite interesting what they are doing with MySQL-Max with seems to be their enterprise solution. They teamed up with SAP DB, an open source database technology that SAP bought from Software AG to tease Oracle a bit. It is based on Adabas D a commercial database that has a "oracle compatibly mode" via ODBC.
It is quite interesting to see a mixture of SAP DB and MySQL united in MySQL-MAX. (Infoworld article)
These "niche markets" are pretty big IMHO. Think about all these cash boxes at bars. They price about 5000 US$/EURO. They have an touch screen, a auth method (sticks, magnetic stuff etc.) and a small printer.
Image all those webpads or Tablet PCs and arrange a setup of those components (TC 1000 or a cheap webpad) it will cost about 2000$/EURO, put a Open Source OS and a Point-of-Sale software on it and safe money
I think all embedded solutions with OSS have a big potential.
In Germany is a regulation which says "if you want to connect a ATM/PC whatever" you have an "bank network". There a guidlines which are checked by some govermental freaks.
I have an AIW 8500DV and the Windows Driver suck to hell. MMC (Multimedia Center) breaks 2 times everyday, updating is a pain because it involves quite a lot of stuff (DirectX, Video Driver, Overlay Driver, MMC itself). I update once every 3-4 month and it takes a long time to get it running.
I used it with Linux a bit, but Multimedia drivers and applications are better with Windows (recording MPEG2 in Software from an device etc.)
I dont know if I would buy such a AIW again, I had an PCI AIW, now the AGP AIW but ATI is not supplying decent drivers for years.
All header information has been removed. To create playable files, a further packaging of the files is required to add the appropriate MPEG headers. But the application does work as suggested -- stripping DRM from your protected AAC files (though is not of any practical use in its current form).
This programm strips out what Apple puts in to identify you. Probably nice for privacy.
BTW iTunes works only for US customers, it would be nice to get songs for 1 EURO in Europe, too. I would probably start buying songs then!
It is important to have competition inside the linux community as well. If there would be only one Desktop, it would result into an monoculture the M$-world.
It is a nice idea to setup bounty on OSS as the developers get an instant reward on their work.
The downside of course is the only big Fondations (Apache, Gnome, etc) have money to spend because they get it from the industry (like Intel, IBM,...)
T-Online is not making money, too. They dressed up their balance with stock market revaluation.
I doubt that they really want to buy them. They even denied it @heise (german) but this is a usual procedure during a buyout/merger.
If they would buy AOL, the Germany State would own a part of AOL, which I think conflicts with American law (IANAL). T-Online is a subsidiary of German Telekom, which is owned by the the German State (more than 50%).
I wonder why there is no information if this will be a manned flight or not. The article just says they wanna use a lunar rover.
Secondly, nobody will believe if Chinese they show movies of it of course.
All lunar missions must be face as the legend of the American mission showed.

a list of freaks is German officalism (english) there, a German page about the banking freaks is here
Often they fake only parts of the ATMs system in Germany (reading it at the door, putting slices of plastic on top of the keypads)
The laws are strange in Germany for that problem. But often if you can prove that it was not your problem, they give you money.
they want everybody to believe that it IS safe, but it is not.

shows referrers on their starting page. The only good thing about it is that they have to provide a working URL to get "return on investment".
I found this site in my blog-referrer stats, but I dont know if they crawled me or if my blog-provider sends information about new blogs to them....

indeed. the segway system might be a funcy way of transportation, but I think robots should be more flexible.
I believe in the moon landing indeed, but there so many that believe this silly "hoax"....

Mom pushed the button, so it returned of course.

draft-danisch- dns-rr-smtp-02
And this TXT record for the *.smtp-client. subdomain is the ugliest DNS hack I have ever seen.
The above draft makes sense and introduces a reverse MX DNS record type....
Finally Palm found a way to stop people buying a new Palm. "its faster and it has [insert feature here] ! you dont have to learn a new interface".
After removing hacks from the latest OS instead of making a stable OS, changing from Grafitti to anything else is stupid.
