Linus Comments on SCO v IBM
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/03/11/0137251
[0]djtrippin writes "[1]Linus comes forth on the SCO v IBM suit and how
it pertains(or doesnt, for that matter) to Linux." He definitely puts a
fair amount of perspective on the whole thing. This story really is
only going to get more bizarre.

New Windows Worm Inching Around Internet http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/03/11/0058219
[0]helixcode123 writes "[1]The Register is reporting a Windows Worm
that takes advantage of weak default passwords. This looks pretty
nasty, as it mucks with the registry and disables network sharing."
Basically if it finds SMB shares with weak passwords, it drops an
executable in the startup folder... for once a security problem that
isn't really Microsoft's fault.

Swapping Clock Cycles for Free Music?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/03/10/1845230
[0]droopus writes "USA Today [1] is reporting on an innovative business
model for the music business. Free music for your spare CPU cycles. [2]
Honest Thief says the firm has developed software, to be available in
the second quarter of this year, that will enable file-sharing
providers to capitalize on the unused CPU cycles of their members. That
in turn would allow them to raise money to compensate artists for the
use of their material. Honest Thief said the software, known as
ThankYou 2.0, enables a peer-to-peer file-sharing client to turn the
computers of digital music fans into nodes in a distributed net. By
leasing out the processor power on distributed nets to research
facilities the firm could generate revenues that would be distributed
back to the musicians. Some very smart people have suggested this
before, but this seems like the first real implementation. "

They plan to begin rolling this out sometime in the next two years. Their major features are the simple pause, rewind, and fast forward that all PVRs have. However, they've taken the obvious stance to "let[s] networks set the parameters, dictating which shows users can reschedule, and it also creates ways for networks to insert commercials." The article even mentions how they could get an advantage in pushing their product because "viewers could try out Mystro TV by pushing a button on their remote"." Links

Project JXTA passes "million downloads" milestone
http://newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/03/05/1542252
- By Robin 'Roblimo' Miller - JXTA is a Sun-sponsored Open Source project that is the very embodiment of the company's oft-repeated "the network is the computer" mantrum. The idea of the project is to allow different many computers and computer-like devices to share information directly instead of using a central server. And JXTA is starting to get used in practical ways, so this is not just hot air or a "someday" dream.

Bruce Perens suggested elsewhere that there is also another possibility to consider: SCO filed the suit as a desperation move, hoping for a buy-out by IBM to make it ...

LUFS Userland Filesystem 0.9.4
http://freshmeat.net/releases/115739/
LUFS is a hybrid userspace filesystem framework supporting an indefinite number of filesystems (localfs, sshfs, ftpfs, httpfs, socketfs, freenetfs, and nutellafs) transparently for any application. It can be regarded as doing the same job as the VFS (virtual filesystem switch) in the kernel: it is a switch, distributing the filesystem calls to its supported filesystems. However, LUFS filesystems are implemented in userspace. This would be a drawback for local filesystems where the access speed is important, but proves to be a huge advantage for networked filesystems where the userland flexibility is most important.
