This is a local story – for me anyway – so I had to mention it:
Nonprofit cuts costs with Linux
Follow the money
A bit more on Bill Gates and India…
Bugzilla
Bugzilla is moving along, though I still think it needs to find a little common ground between being really powerful and a bit of a pain to set up. I don’t enjoy installing things that suggest that recompiling Apache or Perl might solve your problems…
Wrist PDA
I’m still trying to decide if a Palm OS Wristwatch is extremely cool, or just plain ridiculous… (If you had two of them, could you make a Beowulf cluster?)
IE Holes
From Wired: How Much Hack Info Is Too Much?
…a bit of programming code embedded in a Web page can reformat site visitors’ hard drives, deleting all files stored on the affected drive. The exploit affects users running Microsoft Internet Explorer browser versions 5.5 or 6.0.
Ready to give up IE yet? ;)
See Serious Internet Explorer Defect for more info.
