Unfortunately Slashdot doesn't allow bots to surf the site, so the info maybe there, but it's hard to find considering it's not in Google.
Eh? Not so. I recently removed my web url from my slashdot profile. Why? Because a google search for my sitename was bringing up scads of/. threads I had posted to.

is that the ensuing waves of traffic to various news sites validated the worth of Danny Lewin's work. Akamaized sites held up pretty well on 9-11. That Akamai clusters served up a record volume of web pages that day was very obvious from where I sat; I saw the mrtg graphs from several clusters at the isp where I work noc (it's also fun to look at the graphs when Steve Jobs streams a Macworld keynote address).
From what I heard, Akamai gained a number of media customers as a result.
There will be no such mark, although a couple competing factions at one time thought they had it sewn up. It was ultimately determined that "Open Source" (with or without the hyphen) is too descriptive to qualify for trademark protection. See this OSI press release and this earlier release from Software in the Public Interest. Google around a bit and you'll see there was much unpleasantness around the issue several years ago.
"Given the connections that Baystar has with MS/Paul Alen et al"
No, no, no. People keep reciting this same bit of misreading. The original Paul Allen assertion was based on folks not reading the large type header of a graph in a pdf white paper from Baystar - "Top Ten Investors All PIPES since 1995" - not Baystar PIPEs. This had also been reported incorrectly by wired online, has never been corrected by them, and has taken on a life of its own as an urban legend.
I recall there being a lot of discussion when ms introed Cleartype about Steve Wozniak having developed a virtually identical font smoothing algorithm for the Apple II. Has this been rebutted? Do a google search for wozniak and cleartype. Here's one article.
Well, I've heard of him, you've heard of him and so have a large percentage of/.ers, but he's not exactly burning up the Billboard charts (now or ever). Survey a hundred people on the street and you'll find a small number who've heard of Cage, but you'd need a larger sample size to find anyone who's actually heard his music.
Let's throw him into a Googlefight w/ Britney and see how he fares %-)
The Register article says "The Wall Street Journal reports that the major five labels think that 99 cents per song is too cheap, and are discussing a price hike that would increase the tariff to $1.25 up to $2.99 per song."
Huh?! Are they discussing it jointly or separately within each record company? If the former is the case, that's illegal price fixing in the US. Does anyone have the original WSJ article at hand to see what it really says? Or am I missing something fundamental here?
Being as Batt settled out of court, there's no precedent set. The odds in court would have been a crap shoot, but I would think that crediting Cage (he should have remained silent on that point), as he did, would have worked against claims by Batt that his silence was original, rather than derived from cage's silence. I really wonder whether a court finding for the plaintiff would have resulted in a six figure verdict, considering we're talking about two musicians virtually no one listens to and many haven't even heard of. I'd say the commercial value of either silent work is somewhere between none and negligible.
Why yes, the estate of avant garde musician John Cage managed to wring a six figure settlement out of alleged infringer Mike Batt, according to CNN. Batt's infringement would have had a better chance of going unnoticed, had he not jointly credited himself and Cage for his own silent composition. In an article in The Independent, prior to the settlment, Batt defended his One Minute's Silence as not infringing Cage's 4'33", saying "But my silence is original silence, not a quotation from his silence."
Most folks here in the US are familiar with Steadicam inventor Garrett Brown's distinctive voice, featured, along with voiceover partner Anne Winn, in radio & TV commercials for Country Crock margarine, Moulsen Ale and countless other products. See TwoVoices.com. He's also a director and copywriter; saw him filming tourism spots here in Philadelphia (where Brown resides) many years ago.

This parking system is also part of a proposed condo tower in Philadelphia, according to an article in the local Weekly Press. But the additional wrinkle here is that it will also be used to bring the trash dumpsters (refrigerated yet, to mitigate nasty odors) out for collection.
"Delivery of trash from the building to the street would also be handled by the parking mechanism, the developer said. Trash would be stored under the building in a refrigerated dumpster. On trash collection day, the parking system calls for the dumpster the same way it would summon a car."
I've been using gandi.net as my registrar for a handful of domains for about 3 years. When I updated my handle contact info recently, I found they've added a couple privacy features. First they provide a gandi.net email addy to mask your true email. Second, you can select the option to have your personal contact information excluded from the bulk whois info that they are required to make available for sale (it'll still be visible through normal whois inquiries). No extra charge for that and their 12 euros/year includes dns (configurable thru web interface, though a bit less flexible than hand-carved zone files). You can use your own dns elsewhere if you need the flexibility of editable zone files (ie. anything more than adding and deleting A, CNAME and MX records). Their web interface is in English and French.
I have to agree, but which would be the optimal algorithm here? Bubble sort, shell sort, merge sort or maybe a heap sort? Of course when Darl ultimately goes to the big house, he may find himself facing (or about facing) an insertion sort.
