Miriam Waller writes "I was browsing IBM's patent server when I came across this disturbing patent on 'server side includes'. Not good!" Tanya Jolly pointed out an article in MSNBC about a patent on horizontal scroll bars held by Adobe. Dozens of people sent linkage to a InfoWorld op-ed entitled "Why Software Patents Benefits Consumers" written by Senator Tetrick.

 Posted by CmdrTaco on Thursday November 21, @05:47AMfrom the call-out-the-linux-brigade! dept. Several hundred people have sent word of a Linux roast-a-thon over at PC Week.

 Posted by CmdrTaco on Thursday November 21, @12:47AMfrom the nerds-panic-nationwide dept.

A full investigation by the FCC will commence as soon as the department receives sufficient funding. ( Read More... | 121 of 253 comments)

 Posted by CmdrTaco on Wednesday November 20, @09:25PMfrom the stuff-that-wastes-time dept. Kerry Kushwaha pointed out that the November issue of nerdkernel.com is out. quiman767 sent linkage to yet another place you don't want to see a BSOD. plabol36 noted that ESR has updated the Jargon File to version 4.3.1. It includes new definitions for firpetway, ikickhip, and tutcuns. Several people sent linkage to the truth about Nathan Myrrhvold. stephanie pointed out that the LinuxWorld Convention registration deadline is next Thursday. Trevor Quattlebaum was the first to mention that the website for the Fellowship Of Caring Libertarians Opposed To Eliminating The National Debt runs on Linux. How terribly ironic. pealock told us that version 2.6.7 of jide is out. Whatever the heck that is. For something truly strange, Irma Hess pointed out an RFC document entitled "Electricity-over-IP". You've got to be kidding. ( Read More... | 40 of 149 comments) |
