The open source world has NUT to offer (Network UPS Tools).
We've been using it at work for all our critical servers. It works with pretty much all UPSes, and on pretty much any production OS, so you can use your existing servers and just buy whatever hardware the budget affords.
The linux/unix servers and clients are excellent, and there is a reasonable Windows port for the client (which we've modified a little to suit our needs).
The cost is just your sysadmin's time, as with all F/OSS solutions.
Also, the producers' work will be viewed by thousands of people, and probably reviewed by tens of professionals and might reach production company managers, who may hire them for their next movie...
If you are unknown, then this can be the perfect entrance to the industry. But you have to be good so that your free product is at least somewhat impressive.
Remember the old saying, there is no such thing as bad publicity.
The more articles they get, the more the acronym "PS3" gets into people's minds.
In today's marketing media, companies plan their campaign so that they will "change their mind" a couple of times in order to achieve another slashdot/blog/newspaper article.
A so called bad-design-decision that gets some hype around it, is actually nothing more than a good-marketing-decision in disguise.
I wonder, how much trouble is it to make something like this on your own?
I know that some laptops have flash-card slots, and in others you can plug in a PC-Card reader for a flash storage device.
How feasable (and how expensive) would it be to arrange a hard-disk-less machine that boots off an "internal" (not USB) flash device, using off the shelf products?
True, yet still not free software (as in speech).

If the articles are mostly text, then you can write yourself a simple VBA macro in Word, that iterates over the object model of the Word document, and creates the simplified HTML code.
For example, you can turn every underlined, 18-pt text into <H1> headers, etc.
This way you can keep the consistency quite easily, while still staying flexible.
You can even create HTML that is compatible with the IDs and CLASSes of your site's existing CSS.
This, however, requires that you know VB, and spend some time getting to know the Word object model, which is not too difficult
After I read the TFA, I quickly came back to look for the foot icon that I missed near the article.
funny, no foot icon.
Anyway, IMO this article describes a totally unscientific experiment and comparison.
The results are weird. Times are suspiciously long.
My guess is that his computer suffers from other problems.
I would really like to see a real comparison with proper objective measurements on descent hardware (some standard entry-level PC)
It is much better than any other free player that I have tried, such as WMP, BSPlayer, and others.
I found out that most problems related to subtitles, audio, and codec-specific sync issues, which occur in many other players, never happened in Media Player Classic.
This could be a nice addition to CleanSoftware.org

For a minute there I was looking for the foot icon.
Oh silly me.

Good thing too, you don't want those un-ionized employees going about stealing everybody's ions.
I wonder where they were locked though... In a Faraday cage, maybe?

Ever wondered how oxygen generators work?
When Google fails, Wikipedia Comes to the rescue!
How this qualify as news?
It says "news" in TFA's link... (news.yahoo.com)
You got it all wrong...
The title clearly states that: Keylogging Used To Catch Bank Crackers
This means that Keylogging stopped catching bank crackers some time ago, and it no longer does so.

Note the weird installer. It gave me the creeps but it worked.
