The Nanotech Nose: Towards A Smaller Future
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/06/13/1943239
Farrax writes "One of the first steps to nanotechnology, either
[0]strong or weak, is the ability to even talk about materials on this
scale with precision. Thursday, with the [1]successful test of a
nano-tech "nose," that step was achieved: weight fluctuations of 5.5
femtograms were detected on a bar of gold. The [2]dream of
nano-technology moves forward: maybe we'll [3]see it by 2020 after
all."

Build Your Own Boeing 737 Simulator
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/06/12/1457230
[0]crux6rind writes "This guy built his own [1]Boeing 737-700 simulator
in his garage. The simulator uses elements of a retired Continental
B-737-100 along with other genuine Boeing 737 avionics and system
components. The simulator will be of the fixed-base variety (no motion,
just outside visuals), using Microsoft Flight Simulator 2000,
interfaced with R&R Electronics' EPIC system. This system allows you to
interface switches, lights, buzzers, gauges, digital readouts with
virtually any PC flight simulator out there."

Markets. The product looks like plastic, works like plastic... and then
turns into compost. Dubbed the 'corn-tainer,' it's being used to serve
foods, etc. Available only in the Pacific Northwest stores (of course)

No Business Like SCO Business
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/06/13/1532217
The SCO must go on. [0]Informationweek has a roundup. News.com has some
[1]analysis of the legal case. SCO [2]reiterates their threat to revoke
IBM's license. Reader hobsonchoice sends a blurb: "Also more from
analysts who saw SCO/Linux code comparisons under NDA. Bill Claybrook,
of Aberdeen Group Inc., says [3]SCO changed their story to him about
whether they had any "direct evidence" that IBM copied any System V
code into Linux. Laura Didio of Yankee Group [4]has answered some
detailed questions about her code review process. Lastly [5]Fujitsu
Siemens have joined in the debate: they don't think SCO's case is going
anywhere." One observer of the SCO case has compiled [6]some notes
about Caldera's active participation in the [7]IA-64 project. And look
on the bright side: if you follow the school of thought that [8]all
publicity is good publicity, at least this suit has gotten Linux
mentioned in many places where it normally wouldn't be.

Ageism in IT?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/06/13/0034204
[0]Embedded Geek writes "It's [1]hardly a new topic, but BBC is running
[2]a story about ageism hitting Gen-X, especially in IT. As a 34 year
old coder, I was horrified to hear a quote from a *hiring manager*: 'In
the IT sector (and coding in particular) younger minds generally work
faster -- I would rather employ a keen teenager who code programs
computers quickly than an older person.' It didn't help that the person
is 32 years old. My kneejerk reaction, the same one anyone else over 30
would have, is that the guy is a buffoon (I'll withhold my preferred,
spectacularly vulgar, term). The problem is that I do not believe his
idiocy is unique - I have definitely felt the vibe when interviewing.
It's frustrating, since Gen-X is finally shedding the media hyped
'slacker' stereotype only to run headlong into this garbage. Have any
other Slashdot readers seen this? What is the youngest you can be
before some PHB declares you fit for the scrap-heap? Other than
stocking up on hair dye and botox, what steps can I take to prepare for
the future? Share your war stories here." Ask Slashdot handled this
topic [3]over two years ago. Of course, this behavior could be
explained away as economic concerns, as the decision to hire younger
(and typically cheaper) employees can directly affect the bottom line.
However, one has to wonder if the decision to go with less experienced
programmers also affects software quality, in the long run. What are
your thoughts on this subject?
