Seagate Barracuda V Serial ATA Drive Reviewed
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/01/17/0310212
[0]Mike Parsons writes "Andrew and Adam over at [1]Explosive Labs have
a nice review up on the [2]Seagate Barracuda V, one of the first
production Serial ATA drives. Keep in mind, Generation 1 of Serial ATA
was not meant to be a 'incredible performance jump.' Rather, its
intended purpose was to make the industry transition seamless to allow
time to mature the future generations of SATA. Generation 2 and 3 of
SATA show more promise for those interested in performance, as white
papers behind them gives you the nice fuzzy feeling for speed!"

[0]Kajakske writes "Intel said Thursday that it is [1]pushing back the
release of its first dual-core processor by a year to 2005 and adding a
new microprocessor for servers to its Itanium II lineup. On the other
hand, Intel is [2]moving forward in the area of new technologies."

APC Recalls 2.1 Million UPS Units
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/01/17/0114216
Controlio writes "Check your cubicles. [0]APC has [1]recalled two of
its Back-UPS CS models, the Back-UPS CS 350 and Back-UPS CS 500, in
both the 120 volt and 230-volt flavors. The units were sold between
November of 2000 and December of 2002. The affected units have the
potential to overheat, melting the outer casing and causing a potential
fire hazard. Yikes."

UnitedLinux Pushes Into Telecom Market
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/01/16/2126202
An anonymous reader writes "It would seem that UnitedLinux is
[0]pushing into the telecomms market according to this article at
ITWorld. Is this the first market they are trying to meander into? I
perticularly like this quote: 'Telecommunications grade servers must
meet specific standards regarding electromagnetic interference,
electrostatic discharge, corrosion, grounding and seismic durability.'
Hmmmm."

Upgrading Training and Certification?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/01/16/2123243
An un-named reader asks: "For various reasons, I've been out of the workforce and IT industry since 2000, before which I was employed as an NT-based sysadmin at a large Canadian company. After moving to NYC I found the market flat and got into other work for a while. Now I find myself wanting to get back into IT professionally, but my resume is getting no nibbles at all (over 800 resumes submitted in the last year or so). As a result, I decided to take some training courses to get me back up to speed not just in the W-Intel world, but give me some usable knowledge of Solaris, a CCNA and Checkpoint. Here's where things bogged down. Are there any decent schools out there who have good facilities, good instructors and do more than 'teach-to-the-exams?"
More NerdCore Science Fiction From Cory Doctorow http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/01/16/1948255
[0]Andrew Leonard writes "Cory Doctorow has published a new [1]short
story in Salon. This time around, he's imagined a cyberpunk wi-fi
future, with spectrum cops, a mobile multinational startup, and
guerilla warfare on Indian reservations. Readers who liked his previous
story, [2]"0wnz0red" will undoubtedly savor this one." We've posted
[3]things [4]about [5]Cory before, but I personally enjoy his writing,
so here's more!

A three-day meeting that brought together Asian governments, organizations, companies and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) ended Wednesday morning with the approval of a declaration that, among other things, calls for encouraging the development of open-source software.

DesktopLinux.com is withdrawing our support for the Desktop Linux Summit originated by Lindows.com. We were approached by Lindows.com during the LinuxWorld conference last summer, with a request to provide a "platform" that could bring a vendor-neutral character to the conference. It was our impression that Lindows.com felt the conference was not drawing broad enough support from the Desktop Linux community and its vendors, and that they wanted ...
