Vonage has begun offering Voice-over-IP(VoIP) service to residential broadband users. I've had the service since Friday and the quality is indistinguishable from a regular phone line. It's only $20/month for 500 minutes or $40/month for unlimited service. They include Cisco equipment, Call Waiting, Call Forwarding, Caller ID and Voicemail (which you can check online) in the service price. You can read more about it in this article in Time. It works fine through my Linux NAT firewall/router and my monthly phone budget has now dropped from $60+ to $20.
Tier Networking has begun offering colocation service to residential broadband users. I've had the service since Friday and the quality is indistinguishable from other providers. It's only $87 per burstable Mb and if you find a better price, they'll beat it by 5%. You can read more about it from their website. It works fine our Linux NAT firewall / router and our monthly colocation budget has dropped in half.
34 percent of the government workforce becomes eligible to retire in the next few years, and little has been done to prepare for that loss of IT workers
I know there are a lot of computer people who are currently unemployed or underemployed. The upcoming government hiring "spree" may be a small start to what is needed to rejuvenate the tech economy.

KDE is growing up so quickly...
It seems like only yesterday that KDE was only 2.2.2.:-)
Remember Mozilla 1.0 will still be a test release. This means the debug and QA menus will still be there.
Don't assume that just because it's 1.0 means that it's perfect.
Many people will try Mozilla for the first time in 1.0. People more than ever need to go out there and download [linux, mac, win32], test, and give bug reports.
If you want to help open source but can't hack the code, this is your chance to help!:-)
They take some measure of pride in some of the "guerilla" marketing they chose to employ. Including crashing a benefit party at the SF metreon and sending "Personalized email (not spam) to publications and organizations that might take an interest in MouseDriver." Ugh.
For lots of companies in the business world, these are perfectly valid practices, and I, for one, appreciate them relating their experiences to us. It's not their responsibility that we "get" something from their message. That's our responsibility. They're simply stating what happened to them.
This book is proof that a seemingly strange idea can brew a successful business. A lot of startups don't have the priveledge of having several years of business behind them. Books like this are perfect for most startups on the Internet.
Bernstein released a proposal that outlines the creation of a machine capable of breaking 1024-bit crypto on the order of minutes or even seconds for the measly cost of ~$1B USD.
Okay, I've been hiding my idea, but who cares. I'm releasing it now and officialy proposing the creation of a machine capable of breaking 2048-bit crypto on the order of hours or even minutes for the measly cost of ~10B USD.
I'm currently soliciting offers from several major tech companies to fund this joint venture to be used only in the private sector.
To answer all of the people who have asked who the canadian company is with such an aggressive solicitation campaign it's: Domain Registry of Canada/America
because he's under 18, he can't be legally bound to the small-print agreement.
The problem isn't with Apple. It's with the US legal system. I've never been a fan of Apple but don't punish them for something that isn't their fault. Instead of griping to Apple, gripe to your congressional representatives on how current laws are stifling our countries competitiveness on a global scale.
Unfortunately, Verisign has been doing this for years and they aren't the only company doing this. Currently, a canadian company is doing this as well.
Fortunately, most of our clientele are "in the know" when it comes to the Internet and domain registration yet even a large chunk of them have fallen prey to Verisign's deceptive schemes.
It's just as frustrating fighting them for ssl certificate sales. They're making way more profit per sale then we are ($120 vs. $350) so no matter how much we bid for ad placement, they always overbid us. Sometimes it doesn't seem worthwhile to try and be the lowest priced service. Anyway...:-)
_Black Holes and Time Warps_ by Kip S Thorne is an outstanding book on astrophysics and covers several things of interest to the slashdot crowd including Black Holes, Worm Holes, and Time Travel. Thorne does an outstanding job of explaining the more bizarre aspects of of the universe and there isn't a single part where you want to skip ahead to the next page / chapter.
And I assume that if there's a pre-existing Referral ID, Morpheus will strip it out and replace it with its own. Doesn't this constitute actual monetary theft?
Wait a second, that's pure speculation. To my knowledge, there isn't any evidence that they are doing this.
Slashdot really needs to mirror websites and provide access to those mirrors to the subscribers.
On a side note, I can't believe suggestion that Katz stories should only be available to subscribers was considered flamebait. I was just joking. I mean, I think it would be great if I woke up in the morning and was no longer able to view Katz's well thought out commentaries.;-)
Seriously though, I wish Slashdot would hurry up and accept subscription payment via something other than paypal.

I would like to rent your sig space for a month. Will you be participating in the slashdot blackout?
Am I the only one who would rather type www.collegecoeds.pron?
Does anyone know if Firebird supports transactions? I know lots of people who use Oracle because of its transaction capabilities.
Besides, dont' you know you can't run Windows 2000 without swap? ;-)

Here's a link to the Random New York Times Registration Generator. I found this on a previous slashdot comment but do not recall who posted it. Enjoy!!!

There was a tinybsd project started about 2 years ago I would guess. I don't know what ever happened to it.
Also, a Sunblade 100 retails for $995. What would that Athlon XP 1.9 system retail for?
How the heck do they force the removal of implants? Shouldn't they just say "Sorry, you can't board this plane?"
