Console Games Sales Beat Out PC
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/12/15/032201
[0]ttol writes "In the [1]Star Tribune, they write that "PC games fell
6.2 percent through the first 10 months of this year, making the first
such decline ever." They go on to say that consoles will break record
sales this year, and that there is a shift towards console gaming from
PC. Is this due to the fact that there are now three major contenders
(XBox, Playstation 2, Game Cube) and all the advanced features they
offer (DVD ability on the first two etc)? I, for one, will continue
with my Battlefield 1942 on my PC."

Speakeasy Welcomes WiFi network sharing
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/12/15/0247238
sedawkgrep writes "[0]Speakeasy.net has recently published a policy concerning their subscribers. [1]They're openly welcoming the sharing of subscribers bandwidth via WiFi as long as you don't violate the existing [2] terms of service. Speakeasy has always had a very liberal and open policy with their users. Even though I wouldn't open my network via WiFi, it's refreshing to see a company who is taking a more open approach rather than restrictive when dealing with its customers." I've been a Speakeasy customer for a while now ('tho my move from Boston to Ann Arbor meant going from 768 to 144 *sigh*) and have always been impressed with them. Great step supporting WiFi as well.

Taken?

jeepliberty writes "Was I the only one to feel like I was "taken" by
the latest Spielberg mini-series? It concluded last night on the
[0]SciFi channel. It started out great. The first five episodes were
excellent. Then like milk on the counter, it started going sour. My
sister is a writer and after she sees a movie she always picks it apart
for continuity, character development and plot. I always tell here "Get
a life. It's just a movie." Well after I saw the 7th installment, I
started picking up my sister's habits and began picking it apart.
"Taken" seems to have taken a little bit from "Firestarter", "E.T.",
"Sphere" and quite a few others."

Yet Another Call for Linux Standardization http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/12/14/1734225
An anonymous reader writes "Newsforge has an article [0]Commentary: United We Stand...the Division in the Linux World, in which David Meyer argues that UnitedLinux will provide standardization for the Linux community that will allow it to win the desktop market from Windows. The article has a number of supporting comments, but then this one particular negative comment that disagrees with David. This particular comment offers an alternative view on the need for standardization. This aternative view that is put forward simply argues that 'Over what is almost twelve years we have pulled ourselves up by the bootstraps. We have done this using a development model that allows us to produce software that proprietary vendors cannot compete with', and then summarizing that 'the Linux community does not need to set up businesses with the specific intention of trying to "win" users from Microsoft; all we have to do is continue to develop software in the same way, and the users will make the switch all by themselves'."
