Red Hat Posts Its Best Quarter Yet
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/09/19/0319257

    wrinkledshirt writes "Anybody remember the days when the naysayers said     you couldn't build a viable business model centered around open-source     software? [0]After Red Hat's 2nd quarter report, well, insert(&mouth,     FOOT); is all I have to say. Okay, okay, the hubris of a Linux zealot     aside, the numbers look pretty good. Revenue for the quarter was $28     million, with net income at $3 million. You'd think SCO's blathering     would have damaged them, but they're actually up the last couple of     quarters after posting some net losses in previous quarters." Kudos to     Red Hat.

VeriSign Sued Over SiteFinder Service
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/09/19/039214

    dmehus writes "It was only a matter of time, the pundits said, and they     were right. [0]Popular Enterprises, LLC., an Orlando, Florida based     cybersquatting so-called 'search services' company, has [1]filed a     lawsuit in Orlando federal court against VeriSign, Inc. over VeriSign's     controversial SiteFinder 'service.' While PopularEnterprises has had a     dodgy history of buying up thousands of expired domain names and     redirecting them to its [2]Netster.com commercial "search services"     site, the lawsuit is most likely a good thing, as it provides one more     avenue to pursue in getting VeriSign to terminate [3]SiteFinder.     According to the lawsuit, the company contends alleges antitrust     violations, unfair competition and violations of the Deceptive and     Unfair Trade Practices Act. It asks the court to order VeriSign to put     a halt to the service. VeriSign spokesperson Brian O'Shaughnessy said     the company has not yet seen the lawsuit and that it doesn't comment on     pending litigation."

Using an Old Satellite Dish as a WLAN Antenna http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/09/19/0053233

We've had other stories about [2]building     antennas, but I think these are cooler because of their focused nature,     but a Primestar dish is a little tougher to locate than a Pringles can     or a floppy disk.
