Addison UK Server Roadshow for Schools

[0]NeTraverse writes "[1]Addison UK is doing a [2]Linux server roadshow

Tom's Hardware Looks At WinFS
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/06/17/2337253
[0]Alizarin Erythrosin writes "Tom's Hardware Guide has [1]an article
about the new WinFS file system. The article talks first about some of
the problems and advantages with FAT[16|32] and NTFS, then talks
briefly about WinFS. Here is the summary: 'Microsoft is breaking new
ground with Longhorn, successor to XP. The upcoming WinFS file system
will be the first to be context-dependent, and promises to make long
search times and wasted memory a thing of the past. Today, THG compares
it to FAT and NTFS.' Personally, I still have reservations about using
a relational database to keep track of files. Unless they can keep the
overhead to a minimum, I can't see it being as efficient as a file
system should be."

Working with ADHD?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/06/18/0024228
Famanoran asks: "I've recently been diagnosed ADHD[0]? and am now taking Ritalin. I've found that it helps me rather significantly, but I'm keen to try other things that may help. My question is to the ADHD'ers on slashdot: How have you coped with ADHD, and how have you found it affect your work performance? Do you object to having ADHD? Have you tried natural alternatives such as DPA/EPA (Omega3), 5-HTP (natural precursor to serotonin), and what were your results? Also - How do you find it working in groups of people, either as the only ADHD'er there, or in a group of ADHD'ers? Do you think that your ADHD contributes to your abilities technically, or is it a hinderance?" Previously, Ask Slashdot dealt with [1]ADHD in children, now what suggestion do you have for the grown-ups, with the additional burden of a career, who find themselves in the same situation? Links

some trouble. Their strategy is to clone Mac computers using spare

EU Moves Towards Single European Patent Standard http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/06/17/1831233
[0]theodp writes "A European Parliament committee Tuesday moved toward
setting the first pan-European standard for software patents, but
[1]outlawed the U.S. practice of patenting business methods, such as
Amazon's one-click Internet shopping. 'The European law sets the right
benchmark rather than the looser U.S. system,' said the director of
public policy for Europe at the Business Software Alliance, which
represents 20 software companies including Microsoft and Apple. Amazon
representatives in Brussels declined to comment on the new European

ICANN Stacks Board with Non-Critical Appointees http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/06/17/171217
[0]Froomkin writes "ICANN's outgoing dissident Board member, Andy
Mueller-Maguhn, has leaked the slate that ICANN's so-called [1]NomCom
(actually an appointments committee) has picked. The new public
representatives are mostly a mix of incumbent ICANN Board directors who
don't rock the boat, corporate executives, and ISOC members. Dissident
Andy Mueller-Maguhn got replaced by a former member of the board of
Deutsche Telekom. Dissident Karl Auerbach (who had to [2]sue ICANN to
get to see its documents) got replaced by the President of the U.S.
Council for International Business. At least the [3]Board Squatters are
finally going to be history. Details at [4]ICANNWatch." ICANN is an
interesting study in how a ruling regime can usurp a democratic
institution and turn it into an autarchy.

WG55 writes "Have you noticed that more and more technology is more
ingenious than useful? Stuart Jeffries of The Guardian writes in his
article [0]Robots without a cause that much technology produced today

simply, but to buy more stuff to reduce the space in which we might
