[0]cshirky writes "A persistent criticism of open source is that it is
more about copying features than creating new ones. While this
criticism is overblown, the literature of open source is richer on the
subject of debugging than design. I've written [1]an article about Ben
Hammersley's [2]LazyWeb.org, wondering whether open source methods plus
RSS distribution can do for feature requests what open source already
does for bug fixes, namely parallelize the problem in ways not
available to closed source development methods."

Making the HDTV Vision Quest?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/01/06/231217
[0]DumbSwede asks: "I have embarked on a do-it-yourself HDTV project
with a NEC 135LC quad-XGA projector purchased on eBay. But I have only
found 2 HDTV tuner cards, [1]AccessDTV and [2]WinTV-HD, both far short
of quad-XGA resolution (if I am reading the specs right, they max out
at SXGA for VGA output). [3]ATI claims to support all DTV resolutions
and has quad-XGA resolution with its All-In-Wonder 9700, but has only a
standard analog tuner built in. A search of [3]ATI or [4]NVIDA
web-sites, give no recommendations on DTV turners to use in conjunction
with their products (perhaps either accessdtv or wintv-hd will work).
Any details and insights would be appreciated, as two or three days of
web searching seems not to have provided me with total solution
answers."

The business of making Linux easier to use
http://newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/01/04/1952245
- By Robin 'Roblimo' Miller - The comparative complexity of
administering Linux servers is a huge adoption barrier for small
companies that can't afford to hire their own sysadmins and don't want
to rely on outside consultants for all configuration changes or routine
server maintenance. NetMAX is building a business by -- as they put it
- "Simplifying Linux Servers." Their "underlying technologies" are Open Source, they say, but their GUI admin ...
Can Linux help save SGI?
http://newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/01/07/1712243
- By Robin 'Roblimo' Miller - One of Linux's supposed barriers in high performance computing is the "eight processor limit." SGI says their new Altix 3000 line, running a patched 2.4.19 kernel, handily breaks this barrier -- it can run up to 64 Intel Itanium 2 microprocessers -- and that "superclusters" built with SGI's Linux-based products can outperform generic Linux clusters in some applications by a large enough margin to justify their ...

http://freshmeat.net/releases/108763/
Take a Joint has the goal to simplify the integration of Linux clients into Windows networks. Sharing a directory should be as easy as under Windows.
