Slashdot
The Gnutella War: Free vs. Commercial
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/12/22/058249
[0]Anenga writes "[1]Slyck has an [2]interesting interview with Mike of
[3]Shareaza regarding [4]Gnutella2 (see [5]older [6]stories), where he
expresses his opinions on how Gnutella2 has been recieved within both
the user and developer community. The reaction from the top commercial
clients, [7]Limewire and [8]BearShare, on Gnutella2 (as seen in the
[9]GDF and elsewhere) is that they will not support it because of how
it was presented, however, [10]Gnucleus (free, open source) plans to
support it and feels the GDF is not seeing the bigger picture. John
Marshall of Gnucleus says 'Now it's more like "Free vs Commercial"
clients, which [the latter] would rather develop their own next
generation protocol (which would probably never happen).' The article
in short: Shareaza will keep Gnutella2 open/free, it's already been
very successful with a 80-100k growing userbase, Gnutella2 was *not*
based on [11]Limewire's GUESS proposal and is in fact very different
from it and Shareaza will continue to both support the original
Gnutella ('G1') and of course G2."

Are Blogging and Unemployment Related?

[0]Roland Piquepaille writes "The Washington Post is really nice with
bloggers. Yesterday, it carried an article named "[1]Free Speech --
Virtually," or "Legal Constraints on Web Journals Surprise Many
'Bloggers'". Today, Cynthia L. Webb focuses on an hypothesis from
[2]Chris Gulker, which he exposed in a column published by The
Independent, "[3]The View from Silicon Valley: Bloggers come in from
the cold." As said Chris Gulker, "Many of us are Webloggers 'bloggers'
for short. It would be interesting to see if there's a correlation
between the meteoric rise of blogging, the practice of keeping a
frequently-updated online journal, and the rise of unemployment in
Silicon Valley and other tech corridors. Check [4]this column for a
summary or [5]the original article for more details."

Bochs is now about twice as fast as version 1.4.1. Also, we can now emulate MMX instructions, SSE/SSE2, and even AMD x86-64 instructions if you turn on the appropriate configure options.

Peopleware: Productive Projects and Teams
http://freshmeat.net/articles/view/663
I first read "Peopleware..." in the late 80s while working at a struggling vibration analysis company that was mightily attempting to create chaos out of order. The management was affronted by the book (I had stupidly lent a copy to the V.P. of engineering) and I only retrieved it when I proved that it was a public library book. At the time, I was excited by its approach and readability, and I greatly enjoyed reading it and sharing it with my downtrodden peers.

bash programmable completion 20021221
http://freshmeat.net/releases/107242/
Since v2.04, bash has allowed you to intelligently program and extend its standard completion behavior to achieve complex command lines with just a few keystrokes. Imagine typing ssh [Tab] and being able to complete on hosts from your ~/.ssh/known_hosts files. Or typing man 3 str [Tab] and getting a list of all string handling functions in the UNIX manual. mount system: [Tab] would complete on all exported file-systems from the host called system, while make [Tab] would complete on all targets in Makefile. This project was conceived to produce programmable completion routines for the most common Linux/UNIX commands, reducing the amount of typing sysadmins and programmers need to do on a daily basis.

UML2EJB 1.3.1 reads XMI 1.2 and UML 1.4
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=237649
UML2EJB is a code generator that builds XDoclet-tagged EJBs from UML models. The models come from CASE tools like Poseidon, Rational Rose and Together ControlCenter. UML2EJB reads XMI format files containing the metadata. The new release features compatibility to XMI 1.2 and UML 1.4, both of which makes it ready to read files created by the very latest Poseidon release (1.5). Now, users are able to leverage all the new features of Poseidon and the fascinating performance increase over 1.4.1. I wish you many successfully built components! Matthias P.S.: You will find the generator at http://uml2ejb.sf.net as well as at http://sf.net/projects/uml2ejb !
