 Posted by CmdrTaco on Wednesday May 28, @02:41PMfrom the call-out-the-linux-brigade! dept. Several hundred people have sent word of a Linux roast-a-thon over at Wired News. We recommend you send hostile flames to the publisher to let your voice be heard -- we simply cannot and will not allow idiots to badmouth our favorite operating system.

Posted by CmdrTaco on Wednesday May 28, @01:36PMfrom the stuff-to-read dept. We usually don't cover books in the IDG "...In 21 Days" line, but this is one is worth looking at. If you've ever wanted to know more about TurboLinux, this is the book to get. ( Read More... | 19 of 137 comments)
 Posted by timothy on Wednesday May 28, @12:08PMfrom the stuff-to-read dept. Okay, we admit it. Things were said, mistakes were made. It seems a whole batch of recent articles has turned out to be false. For instance, the the QUERTY keyboard conspiracy is a hoax. And the article entitled Willey.com Delisted from Nasdaq was completely untrue. ( Read More... | 46 of 101 comments)
Posted by timothy on Wednesday May 28, @10:45AMfrom the can-you-say-beowulf-cluster? dept. Okay, we admit it. Things were said, mistakes were made. It seems a whole batch of recent articles has turned out to be false. For instance, the The Boycott Safeway Campaign is a hoax. And the article entitled Stupid Python Tricks was completely untrue.

 Posted by CmdrTaco on Wednesday May 28, @10:24AMfrom the kill-all-the-lawyers dept. bgagnon writes "I was browsing IBM's patent server when I came across this disturbing patent on 'random poetry generators'. Not good!" liarjel pointed out an article in TechWeb about a patent on the quadratic formula held by Adobe. Dozens of people sent linkage to a Wired News op-ed entitled "Why Software Patents Benefits Consumers" written by Senator C. L. Inton. Finally, Robin Singleton sent us an rebuttal editorial about the evils of software patents. Click below to read it." ( Read More... | 103 of 339 comments)
 Posted by Hemos on Wednesday May 28, @10:23AMfrom the gonna-sell-like-hotcakes dept. We often get bombarded with questions from people wanting to learn about C++. Until now there just hasn't been a good reference. However, O'Reilly has finally unveiled the "Black Camel" book, and it's already a classic. This is a must-have book for your collection.

 Posted by CmdrTaco on Wednesday May 28, @09:54AMfrom the another-waste-of-time dept. Yep, it's that time again! danielle told us about The Horrible, Terrible Bristol-Myers Squibb Conspiracy. arayvel343 wrote in to mention that ESR has updated the Jargon File to version 4.2.1. It includes new definitions for megit, wadurt, and edarbet. Joe Gross pointed out that the May issue of coffeehere.com is out. As always, several new Linux websites have popped up, including kernelfun.com, opensourcehacker.net, and freebsdopensource.com. This is starting to get out of hand. Sherri Sickles noted that gnugnugeek.org has a new design. Egoldman forwarded us a link to a new site called linuxfuture.com to help neophytes. Several people sent linkage to an article in PC Week about the Isaac Asimov Fan Club. It's old, but still amusing. ( Read More... | 26 of 116 comments)

 Posted by CmdrTaco on Wednesday May 28, @07:38AMfrom the the-truth-is-out-there dept. abranhanon writes, "This is unbelievable! The headline speaks for itself... see this article over at Sammy's Hardware." Yep, this one certainly got my attention. Update by CT: Yes, we do have journalistic standards here at Slashdot. It's just that we sometimes forget about them. We apologize... this article is a hoax. Now will you all shut up about it? ( Read More... | 133 of 316 comments)
Posted by CmdrTaco on Wednesday May 28, @06:47AMfrom the stuff-to-drool-over dept. Ned Velez writes, "In this CNN article, IBM CEO Boris Stokes talks about new advances in hard drive technology which could quadruple storage density." Production isn't expected to begin until 2007, which means you'll need to find some other way to store your porn library for now. ( Read More... | 36 of 65 comments)
Posted by Cliff on Wednesday May 28, @06:08AMfrom the think-before-you-post dept. Terry Moller poses this question: "I convinced my mother to upgrade her system to Linux. Unfortunately, I've had trouble setting her up with a good IRC client. Any thoughts? Which is the best choice for a newbie?" Now this is a doozy! ( Read More... | 83 of 175 comments) |
