Defining "Planet"
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/03/09/2249257
[0]beardoc writes "[1]The Sydney Morning Herald is running a [2]story
today about a controversial proposal to define what size a planet might
be - depending on what the final definition of how big a planet is, we
could end up losing Pluto (at 2300 kilometres) to the status of
"asteroid" or gaining three more planets - Quaoar, Varuna and Ceres."

Kernel 2.2 - It Lives!

Geek Roadtrips Through the Heartland
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/03/09/2144210
While researching a roadtrip which I'll be taking from St. Paul, Minnesota to Placerville, Ca I did what any geek would do, I checked out the [0]t-mobile hotspots along the route (some), did various searching on [1]wi-finder (some) and other sites and have been doing some googling around on the topic. I know that there must be some 802.11b access points along and inside the towns along I-80, but for the life of me I'm finding it difficult for me to find any of them. I of course have various wireless sniffing apps, but that is hardly an efficient way to find access. I don't mind paying a small fee, so....with that in mind, if you were to take a trip across the country, where would you stop for access? For specifics, Read More... Links

Serial SCSI Standard Coming Soon
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/03/09/190212
rchatterjee writes "SCSI is very close to joining ATA in leaving a
parallel interface design behind in favor of serial one. [0]Serial
attached SCSI, as the standard will be known, is expected to be
ratified sometime in the second quarter of this year according to this
[1]article at Computerworld. Hard drive manufacturers [2]Seagate and
[3]Maxtor have already said that they will have drives conforming to
the new standard shipping by the end of the year. The new standard will
shatter the current SCSI throughput limit of 320 megabit/sec with a
starting maximum throughput of 3 gigabit/sec. But before this thread
turns into a SCSI fanboy vs. ATA fanboy flame war this other [4]article
states that Serial Attached SCSI will be compatible with SATA drives so
you can have the best of both worlds."
