[0]talks to the Guardian about blogging, which ones he's looking at and
why he may have to quit blogging himself. He's quoted as saying '...if
I'm ever going to write another book, I'm going to have to quit doing
my blog as I have a hunch it interferes with the ecology of being a
novelist.'"

IBM Denies Charges of Unix Theft
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/05/02/0024248
ahooton writes "[0]C|net is reporting that [1]SCO has filed a lawsuit
accusing IBM of theft of it's Unix intellectual property. SCO alleges
this occurred because IBM released portions of the Unix system, owned
by SCO, in to Linux." While the suit is [2]nothing new, IBM's retort
is. IBM asserts it is innocent of any charges of wrongdoing.
Additionally, IBM is accusing SCO of trying to stifle Linux development
through the use of the courts.

DSL Hardware for Wiring Condos?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/04/30/231249
Condo-Netwerk asks: "I'm trying to prepare a proposal for my condo building to be our own DSL provider. With 160 units, we should be able to get a T1 and keep the price fairly low. But what's the up-front cost? Which hardware should we use? What do we need to know about Copper Mountain, Avidia, etc. to do our due diligence prior to selecting hardware? I'm also helping a friend spec cabling for a new 30-unit condo building he's putting up; he wants to pull cat5 and split a DSL line from the phone room to each unit. Caveats? Experiences? Is it better to use cat6 or fiber?"
