Aaah...yes, very true.
Still, regardless of it's origin, the company is making a large announcement, and to have something like that (yes I know the feed is dynamic) on their front page, make cause some slight unrest. The last thing yellowTAB need right now is some bad publicity, and all it takes is something as small as this.
It always amazes me how science fiction drives innovation in real science. This is certainly not the first occurance of this, and to cite a well known example, the automatic door (like the ones at supermarkets) were un-thought of until Star Trek.
Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but the Freecraft project recieved a "cease and desist letter" from Blizzard and was shut down. What does this say about yellowTAB, as they are publicly announcing they have binary packages of Freecraft on their servers for BeOS?
Very true...but America didn't exactly "invade" Iraq purely on the basis of WMD's. I think that Oil was the sole reason, and that WMD's were just a pitiful attempt at justifying it.
But of course, the CIA won't learn a thing...as anything dangerous should be in America's hands.
*cough* *cough*
WMD's should ONLY be in America's hands.
Fibre Optic Cable Maps should ONLY be in America's hands.

"But terrorists would love for this to be published... it would make their job so much easier"
Isn't this is a good point?
I mean, Open Source and Communism are closely linked, and the only way we can get to a world where Open Source / Communism rule, terrorism has to partially exist. So using this logic, all open source buffs are terrorists, in one way or another. hmm...darn.:'(
That quite possibly is the case...but America has a lot more prisons than Australia, thus making it not really an explanation for the higher amount of phone taps.
After seeing a previous article posted on Slashdot about Australia having a higher rating of phone taps than the US, and not to forget the recent fiasco with Telstra tapping certain phones...this is music to ones ears.
Just remember "Professional Apache Tomcat" is aimed purely at Sys-admins, not programmers. Programmers will learn everything they need to know about configuring Tomcat from the de-facto standard text of "Java Servlet Programming 2nd Edition", which every Servlet programmer will or should have in their reference collection.
The documentation of Tomcat is good, but for Sys-admins, being able to just flick to a page and copy down an example is much quicker and easier than hunting around the online documentation. Not to mention the benefits of printed text over online text...especially if your notebook battery runs out when your trying to have a read in a secluded place. Tomcat is a complicated application, and the need for a good printed text is much needed. A lot of functionality of Tomcat can be long and tedious to setup (e.g. Authentication), and it's great to see a text addressing these issues.
I wouldn't really say that the DVR industry is doomed as such. When the cassette tape first came out, it was believed that it would be the "big killer" as they were inexpensive and you could copy them easily. Then the big hype was with CD's, then MP3 (not OGG:(), and now DVD's (or DVR's as the case may be). Embracing new technology is how these are overcome, and it's good to see Tivo and SonicBlue focusing on this.
Slashdot Mirror
Horton Automatics has been designing, manufacturing and selling automatic doors since 1960, when we developed the first automatic sliding door in America."
Sure thing, the first automatic sliding door, which does not infer that it was automatic on the detection of motion. The door on a bus is also automatic, but it's not motion sensing.
Aaah...yes, very true.

Aaah...another fine example of a big corporation abusing ones power, not because it is legally viable, but simply, just because they can.

Spolier warning, eh? hmm...Noted. :)
Aah...not to worry...for we will always have Bruce Willis willing to sacrifice himself to save Earth.
All in all, good work Wrox!
