Microsoft: Because Bugs are Cool
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/02/19/2126220
h_orion writes "According to Mr. Gates, Microsoft recieves 'Less than
one percent' call volume in relation to bugs. He also blames the users
lack of knowledge as a cause of some of these bugs. He goes on to say
that the feeling of frustration that people hold towards bugs is a
sociological issue, rather than technical saying that people complain
about software bugs 'Because it's cool.' Read more in this

Internet-Created Free Audio Dramas?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/02/18/1650215
[0]fraser_joat asks: "The other day I finally took the time to watch
[1]Starship Exeter, previously [2]reported on Slashdot. Coincidentally,
I also revisited the [3]BBC's excellent radio adaptation of The Lord Of
The Rings, following the hype caused by the recent [4]movies. The two
of these got me thinking: while _Exeter_ was clearly a huge effort, it
looks like they had a lot of fun making it. In many ways they are
scratching the same sort of itch that generates free software. So what
about audio drama? The technology needed to produce it is freely
available, things like [5]Ardour and [6]Csound. So is it possible to
produce an audio drama based on free texts such as those from
[7]Project Gutenberg in a distributed fashion, with contributers from
all across the Net, just like with software? Would they even be useful
as an introduction to classic fiction or just as pure entertainment?"

Linux in residential gateways makes fiscal sense, says Arcturus

Interview: OpenOffice.org is gaining momentum http://newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/18/1540254
- By Robin 'Roblimo' Miller - NewsForge recently had a pleasant (IRC) chat with OpenOffice.org publicist/activist Sam Hiser. This article is a lightly-edited transcript of that conversation. It sounds like the already excellent OOo is getting even better -- and more popular -- every month.
Netgear PCMCIA and Mandrake 9.0 for Dummies (like me) http://newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/17/1610206
- by Tina Gasperson - Sometimes I think I just want to go back to Windows. I have much less personal responsibility with that operating system. If some piece of hardware doesn't work out of the box, I can make a phone call and demand that someone do something about it. If that's not successful, then I just take it back. It's not quite that easy with Linux. I can't be stupid. And I like to be stupid sometimes.

Reliable, Inexpensive RAID Backup
http://newsvac.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/19/2019215
As a topic, backups is one of those subject likely to elicit as many answers as people you ask about it. It is as personal a choice as your desktop configuration or your operating system. So in this article I am not even going to attempt to cover all the options. Instead I describe the methods I use for building a reliable, useful backup system. This solution is not the right answer for everyone, but it works well for my situation.
