Sony Introduces Passage
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/12/05/0346223

[0]UncleCrispy writes "[1]Sony, a newcomer in the cable industry
announced its new technology, [2]Passage, on the opening day of the
[3]BroadBand Plus Show to the receptive ears of the cable community.
"Sony's Passage Technology is a simple, elegant solution that allows equipment from multiple vendors to peacefully co-exist on legacy digital CATV networks" Now you won't be stuck with the SetTopBox your cable provider forces on you, but with Passage you should be able to go to the store and buy any box you want. If you want a DVR box, you can buy it, and you'll no longer be stuck with the rental fees. Sounds like it's a good deal for the cable providers and consumers, but how will current SetTopBox monopolies take the news?" Links

IDE RAID Examined
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/12/04/2245253

Bender writes "The Tech Report has [0]an interesting article comparing IDE RAID controllers from four of the top manufacturers. The article serves as more than just a straight product comparison, because the author has included tests for different RAID levels and different numbers of drives, plus a comprehensive series of benchmarks intended to isolate the performance quirks of each RAID controller card at each RAID level. The results raise questions about whether IDE RAID can really take the place of a more expensive SCSI storage subsystem in workstation or small-scale server environments. Worthwhile reading for the curious sysadmin." I personally would love to hear any ide-raid stories that slashdotters might have. Links

[0]mmol_6453 asks: "I have the opportunity to submit a plan for a
week-long class about 'Alternative Operating Systems' to our local community college's Computer Camp. The students will be aged 8-16. We've had classes attended by students who used Linux, but we've never set up a class with alternatives as options. We've found that students in this age range, when interested in the material, can absorb a great deal of information in a short time. This means there's a lot of potential to teach them about Linux, *BSD, and open-source. We often get extremely bright students here, the kind who are likely to go out and earn $80,000/yr in a post-90s economy. Some of them are even on Slashdot. I want to give the rest a boost in the right direction." Links

tnailer 1.1
http://freshmeat.net/releases/105521/

Tnailer was originally written to automatically pull images from a SmartMedia card and then create thumbnailed albums arranged in cronological order, but it will work just fine with any group of images. It will adjust the scale (physical image size) of any type of image in the album, and can adjust the quality (compression level) of JPEG and PNG files. It will work with over 66 other image formats, including GIF, PICT, TIFF, and even PDF. It has some basic HTML formatting options, and adds linear navigation to each image's individual page so that browsing forward and backward through the entire album is easy and intuitive.
