ESA to Give New Life to Old Satellites
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/02/06/0016252
[0]JPNews writes "The European Space Agency is [1] designing a program
(www.esa.int) to re-configure dying television transmission satellites
to be used as a [2]XM Radio-like satellite radio network. 'Once in
position, 35,000 km away in space, TV satellites will remain in orbit
forever, but their useful life amounts to 15 years or less... further
life can be squeezed from a low-propellant TV satellite switched over
to mobile digital radio broadcasting where precision position control
is less important.'"

Is the BSA "Grace Period" a Scam?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/02/02/0733256
An anonymous reader asks: "I work at a small non-profit that has 18 employees plus a 13 seat computer lab. We received a form letter from the Business Software Alliance (BSA) telling us to do a self audit and if we find any unlicensed software to report it during our 'Grace Period' because 'if you organization's software is not licensed, it could become to focus of a BSA investigation'. Now this is obviously a method to scare up some business for the BSA members. If we ignore this, how likely is it that we will be 'investigated'. I know that I cannot produce the original CD's and/or documentation for some of the software that we HAVE paid for."

Carmack Needs Rocket Fuel
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/02/05/2243243
[0]Reality Master 101 writes "Saw an [1]interesting post on the
[2]Experimental Rocket Propulsion Society BBS from [3]John Carmack, who
is working on an [4]X-prize vehicle. Apparently he is having a lot of
trouble getting Peroxide from the major suppliers, and is possibly
thinking of helping someone set up a company to produce peroxide. With
NASA's recent problems, there has been a lot of talk about promoting
more private investment in rocketry. But how can it happen when the
suppliers won't even sell peroxide to well financed, registered,
X-prize teams? Anyone want to start a peroxide business?"

Overtone writes "[0]Steve Bellovin of [1]AT&T Labs Research has published a paper showing [2]how to remotely count the number of machines hiding behind a NAT box (in IMW 2002, the [3]Second Internet Measurement Workshop). Your friendly DSL or cable broadband provider could implement this technique to enforce their single-machine license clause. Bellovin explains how to change the NAT software to defeat the measurement scheme, but the fix is complicated and unlikely to appear in commercial home gateways anytime soon." Links

Jack Valenti's Views On The Digital Age

[0]ditogi writes "The [1]Harvard Political Review did a quick
[2]interview with the lord of darkness himself, Jack Valenti. He gives
his thoughts on government mandated copy prevention, fair use, and
lobbying. In response to his famous 'VCR is [to the movie
industry]...as the Boston strangler is to the woman home alone.' quote,
he responds, 'I wasn't opposed to the VCR.' And what does he think of
his current job? 'I think lobbying is really an honest profession.'" My
favorite quote: "In the digital world, we don't need back-ups, because
a digital copy never wears out. It is timeless." Update: 02/05 20:05
GMT by [3]T: [4]Derek Slater writes "I'm the author of the Valenti
