Firefly Likely to be Cancelled
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/11/27/1944214

[0]rscrawford writes "[1]Zap2It is [2]reporting that Firefly, one of
the best science fiction shows to make it on to network television in recent years, is going on hiatus: read, getting canceled. Well, it was an interesting, well-written, provocative and intelligent show on Fox; is anyone therefore surprised that they're doing away with it? It lasted a lot longer than I thought it would. At least they're going to show the original 2-hour pilot in December. (And yet, somehow, Just Shoot Me continues...)"

Broadband's Unintended Consequences
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/11/28/0022205

[0]Makarand writes "[1]BBC News is reporting on the result of a long
term study conducted to find how ordinary people and small businesses in and around London and Leeds used broadband. They [2]found that broadband was actually slowing down user interaction with the Net as they are no longer afraid of spending too much time online anymore. People did not really care about the speed at which they could download from the Net. Broadband's selling points- like speed and the capacity to be always-on, were something that the average person did not care about."

Will Open Source Ever Become Mainstream? http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/11/27/0747238

0. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nf/20021127/bs_nf/20105

[0]Prabhu Ramachandran asks: "I am a graduate student at the University
of California at Berkeley and as part of a course project I am trying to gather comments on the following question: Will the Open Source and Free Software communities develop software that will find widespread adoption amongst the mainstream, or is such software, by its nature, suitable only for sophisticated users? As part of my literature survey I found an academic perspective that seemed to indicate that open source projects do not reach the mainstream because the developers tend to listen only to their smartest customers. There also seems to be a lack of detailed documentation and an easy-to-use interface which normally attract the not-so-sophisticated users. I would like to hear the thoughts of Open Source developers and others on this issue. If you would like to view my references or the comments posted on a website hosted for this purpose, please visit [1]my website." There have already been some interesting comments posted on his website. What is your take on this issue?

Linux Spurs MS Price Cuts

[0] reports: 'What's happening is that Microsoft sales reps have been instructed to be on the lookout for any businesses that are migrating some of their machines to the Lindows OS,' Yankee Group analyst Laura DiDio told NewsFactor. 'If [the sales reps] think there's a real threat of some pretty large numbers of defections to open source, they can request authorization from Microsoft higher-ups to offer steeply discounted pricing."'

All Source Code Should Be Open, Revisited http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/11/27/209256

[0]cconnell writes "In my [1]last article, I presented the idea that
all commercial source code should be open. In other words, part of the delivery package for any software purchase should be a copy of the source files. If everyone saw software vendors' design and coding, the vendors might stop shipping us such lousy programs. The article generated a fair amount of controversy. My [2]latest piece follows up on this idea and includes a few adjustments that respond to reader feedback."

How low-cost 802.11b and Linux have improved my life http://newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=02/11/20/1413252

By Robin 'Roblimo' Miller - I was in the computer section of Circuit City, a major consumer electronics retailer, when I saw an 802.11b wireless router on sale for $89 (after $30 mail-in rebate). A salesman walked up and asked if he could help me. I asked, "Can you tell me if this works with Linux?" He said, "It sure does." This short conversation tells you just how far Linux has come in the last few years, and the router itself shows how far ...

The niceness factor in my opinion is after doing a default install, how nice is it to use. Gentoo 1.4 hasn't been released yet, so things may change.

In addition, Ghostscript is used for file import and viewing by a great many other applications, including xv, ImageMagick, gimp, and xdvi. Several GUI wrappers for viewing PostScript and PDF files exist, including GSview, ghostview, gv, ggv, and kghostview. This is far from a comprehensive list.
