Microsoft Switcher Ads: Part 2
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/02/13/2154217
[0]burgburgburg writes "We all recall Microsoft's last [1]attempt to emulate the Apple [2]Switch ads. Well, it seems they're at it again. MacNN reports that Microsoft has sent out emails to those who have recently registered MS products, [3]looking for candidates for their 'Sensible Solutions' campaign, which will 'highlight computer professionals that have recently converted from Apple Computer products to Microsoft based systems.' Do you qualify? You must be 'a US resident with a minimum of 3 years experience as a computer professional. You must have used an Apple Computer product and a Microsoft based system as part of your work'. So when does it just stop being the sincerest form of flattery and just become utter, pathetic laziness?" Links

FTP: Better Than HTTP, Or Obsolete?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/02/13/2132221
An anonymous reader asks "Looking to serve files for downloading
(typically 1MB-6MB), I'm confused about whether I should provide an FTP
server instead of / as well as HTTP. According to a rapid Google
search, the experts say 1) HTTP is slower and less reliable than FTP
and 2) HTTP is amateur and will make you look a wimp. But a) FTP is
full of security holes. and b) FTP is a crumbling legacy protocol and
will make you look a dinosaur. Surely some contradiction... Should I
make the effort to implement FTP or take desperate steps to avoid it?"
Murchison Meteorite Still Contentious
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/02/13/1725212
An anonymous reader writes "The well-known 1969 meteorite that fell 60
miles north of Melbourne, Australia, remains [0] remarkably contentious
today. The 100 kilogram [1]carbon rock : a) contains pre-biotic
proteins and 12% water; b) harbors 50 amino acids not found on Earth;
c) favors the tell-tale signature of biochemistry based on a dominant
left-handed chirality, compared to random or racemic mixtures found in
test-tube syntheses. While terrestrial contamination (even interior to
the meteor) may discount this so-called 'Murchison meteor', its light
isotopes of carbon and nitrogen suggest the left-handed amino acids not
found elsewhere on Earth have the same ratios as the right-handed ones.
This would not be the case if, say, bacteria was just making the
left-handed ones after impact. Seems quite a controversy from
down-under."

Dragon's Lair 3D Not Worth The Effort
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/02/13/2036248
[0]Anonymous Coward writes "While not the best source for gaming
information, [1]CNNs Technology section has a review of Ubi Softs
[2]Dragon's Lair 3D. Long story short, according to the writer Marc
Saltzman, the game isn't worth it. In fact, the opening paragraph says,
'The only thing worse than a lousy video game is when it taints a
well-respected, 20-year-old franchise.' One interesting tidbit from the
article, the original Dragon's Lair is one of only three video games on
display at the Smithsonian. The other two games being Pac-Man and
Pong."
