Finally some non-MS, non-nonsense SPF news
Swiss cows banned from eating grassYou just have to love that headline. The move has provoked strong opposition from farmers using the plant, while some experts have cast doubt over the evidence used to enforce the ban of hemp as fodder for livestock , resulting from fears that traces of cannabis are finding their way into milk.01.03.2005, 21:32 |

First Look At Solaris 10DTrace, Zones, SMF, decent X86 support..."It is very different. This cannot be repeated enough. If you have ever made the switch from Linux to BSD or the other way, you know how little differences can really make it difficult. In Solaris, the differences are not little." ttp://www.madpenguin.org/cms/html/47/3542.html 01.03.2005, 21:18 |
EU Commission Declines Patent Debate RestartThis slashdot thread quickly puts its emphasis on the "real issue":"The right place to petition against software patent would not be the European Parliament, whose advice gets routinely ignored anyway, but the *individual governments of each country*." ...and... The European Council consists of members of the governments of the member states. They are the ones that have to accept this directive proposal for it to become law. There are obviously countries that want the proposal to go through very badly, and some (maybe enough) that don't. The prospect of opposition is why they are afraid to reopen discussion on the proposal inside the Council. 01.03.2005, 21:11 |
Alan Kay's wisdom guiding the OpenLaszlo roadmap towards Mocha?Found this on the OpenLaszlo roadmap page: "Paraphrasing Alan Kay: simple applications should be easy, and complex applications should be possible."Based on its current roadmap and since Laszlo is now open under the CPL, it looks like a good candidate for future integration in the Mocha universe. 28.02.2005, 10:29 |
