[0]awarded Earthlink $16 million and an injunction against Howard
Carmack for Carmack's use of Earthlink to deliver spam. Given that
Earthlink is still awaiting payment of the $25 million it won against
Kahn C. Smith last year, it views the injunction as the bigger of the
two wins." A few more of these, and maybe the tide of spam will eb.
Maybe. Nah.

First Matrix Reloaded Review
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/05/08/0041220
[0]EpsCylonB writes "The [1]IMDB is reporting that the London Daily
mirror has the first [2]review of the Matrix Reloaded. Sounds like the
Wachowski borthers have gone for an all out action movie which is a
shame if true. What I liked most about the original was the way it
blended stunning action with a subtle philosphical theme about how we
percieve reality." I'll hold judgement until the closing credits
myself.

Wireless at Firewire Speeds?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/05/07/2133245
MeCoward writes "EETimes reporting on working group that hopes to
[0]leapfrog 802.11 to create wireless 1394 links. Initially 100mbps but
aiming for 400mbps." I don't expect to see this anytime soon, but it
certainly makes things like wireless HDTV feasible. Sure would be cool.
Of course Bluetooth is only now just catching on, so imagine how long
it'll be before this becomes practical.

How Would You Argue for Open Source?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/05/06/2127253
[0]Nate asks: "I am currently working for an international corporation,
and the site I am working at was (until very recently) entirely run on
Windows. We recently purchased a Solaris server, and I am in charge of
setting it up and resetting the global UNIX standard. The problem is
that management doesn't want to install software that does not have 24
hour, worldwide support available along with it, yet they want the
capabilities that only open source software can provide on a UNIX
platform (VNC, OpenSSH, etc..) without spending insane amounts of
money. I was wondering how the Slashdot community deals with convincing
management that Open Source software is safe to use when creating a
global standard, and what your solutions have been to supporting users
working with open source software." Two years ago, [1]Slashdot tackled
the Enterprise Support question. Now, say you had that particular
problem solved and the only thing left is that all-important pitch to
Upper Management. What arguments would you use in your attempts to get
their approval? What statistics and references would you point to, in
order to back everything up?

HyperSCSI 20030506
http://freshmeat.net/releases/122114/

Intrinsic advantages of bypassing TCP/IP include immunity to cracking via the Internet, simplicity, and plug-and-play functions. It supports IDE and SCSI hard disk drives, optical, tape, and even removable USB drives. It is compatible with Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet (with and without Jumbo frames), and 802.11b wireless LANs.

Java Serialization to XML 2 2.0.9.4
http://freshmeat.net/releases/122111/
Java Serialization to XML 2 allows you to convert Java objects into streams of XML and back again. Using it is as easy as replacing "ObjectOutputStream" with "JSX.ObjectWriter" to convert objects to XML, and replacing "ObjectInputStream" with "JSX.ObjectReader" to convert XML into objects. JSX subclasses Java's serialization classes, so it can be used in their place with the same simple power. This allows you to check and correct your distributed, persisted, and logged object data, and process it with XSLT, SAX, and DOM. JSX handles all objects, complex object graphs, new classes, old classes, and evolving classes. JSX even handles classes that do not implement the "Serializable" interface.

Kernel Mode Linux is a technology which enables the execution of user programs in a kernel mode. In Kernel Mode Linux, user programs can access kernel address space directly. Unlike kernel modules, user programs are executed as ordinary processes (except for their privilege level), so scheduling and paging are performed as usual. Although it seems dangerous, the safety of the kernel can be ensured through such methods as static type checking, software fault isolation, and so forth.

Otherwise, the backups can be stored on another disk, NFS disk, or (remote) tape. After a disk crash or system intrusion, the system can be booted from the CD-ROM and one can restore the complete system as it was. It also features disk cloning, which allows one to restore a disk to another disk (the destination disk does not have to be of the same size, as it calculates the partition layout itself). Currently, ext2, ext3, minix, MS-DOS, FAT, VFAT, Reiserfs, XFS, and JFS filesystems are supported. mkCdrec is also able to restore disks in Software RAID and LVM mode.
