Slashdot
Have You Really Read Your ISP's TOS?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/04/09/018236

NewtonsLaw writes "[0]XTRA, New Zealand's largest ISP is in the process of losing customers in droves after it announced its new [1]Terms of Service which seek to claim rights over customers intellectual property (see the [2]Slashdot discussion). Now, if that wasn't enough,
[3]Aardvark Daily reports that the ISP is also banning its users from
saying bad things (anything 'detrimental to our reputation or to our brand') about it. I wonder how many slashdotters have actually read their own ISPs' terms of service in detail? Is this type of IP-grab and clampdown on free speech is unique to Xtra or is it slowly pervading the whole industry, right across the globe?" Read on for Xtra's amendments to the original IP-grab terms, though. Links

Are Printers What They Used To Be?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/04/09/0249245

[0]Fifster asks: "Has anyone noticed any trends in terms of printer
quality nowadays? Perhaps it's just me being nostalgic, but I used to have an old HP Deskjet 500 maybe...ten years ago, and it worked for years. Sure, it wasn't colour, and it was noisy and somewhat slow, but it never died. After I decided to retire it and buy a fancy new colour printer with features I don't really need, I've gone through about a printer a year. I finally decided to get a [1] Brother HL-1440 laser printer to avoid the cost of cartridges after my last HP died after I replaced an expensive cartridge. Has anyone else noticed this trend of poorer and poorer quality printers, at least in terms of life expectancy?"

A Title To Replace "Systems Administrator"? http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/04/08/2237213

sjanich writes "A discussion has begun at SAGE on an updated title to replace "Systems Administrator". I figure more sysadmins are reading Slashdot than are reading SAGEwire. Rob Kolstad of SAGE wrote: 'What in the world do we call the collective group of those people who make computers work properly? I'm not talking about users, and I'm not talking about software developers. I am thinking of: system administrators, LAN administrators, network administrators (both kinds!), security administrators, e-mail administrators, desktop support groups, database administrators, and all the other kinds of support that keep the IT function of an institution running -- what is this huge group called?' My favorite options are "Computer Infrastructure Practitioner" or "Computer Infrastructure Specialist". The original discussion can be found [0]here at SAGEwire." Links

Chinese Sites Band Together To Counter Google http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/04/08/217230

    egoff writes "[0]The China Search Alliance is a coalition of over 200     Chinese internet portals that have joined together to try to capture     the Chinese search market before Google can [1]"invade." Started by
[2]China.com.cn, an official government portal, the CSA has now
    expanded to include mainly commercial, non-governmental, Chinese sites.     According to Guangzhou-based New Express News, Google has [3]already     approached several Chinese firms about forming a partnership. Being     that it started in the government, this looks like a tool for
[4]greater control while appearing to be in open competition with
    Google."
