Submission + - Fedora To Ditch X.Org, To Bring Wayland F15 Onward (digitizor.com)
dkd903 writes: Last week Mark Shuttleworth announced plans for Ubuntu to move away from X towards Wayland. Granted it is a long a time away, but a lot of people commended Canonical for such an important decision, which can potentially take desktop Linux to the next level (graphics wise).
Well here is more good news, from Red Hat this time. In a post in the Fedora mailing list, Adam Jackson of Red Hat, has said that Fedora will eventually switch to Wayland. Like Shuttleworth, he also said that Wayland is not stable enough and did not put an exact time frame. However, he said that Wayland might be packaged in Fedora 15 for developers to play around with it.

At this form factor, can I squeeze a bunch into my standard HDD form-factor and get some kind of striping going?

I'm more mystified by the form factors of these things with every new release - I really miss being able to actually see the PCB on my new hardware. At what point is it going to be more expedient for me to simply place my GPU in its' own little box outside the case to expedite cooling, perhaps a dedicated power supply, of course lots of fans... A Graphics Appliance if you will.
Submission + - Barracuda Networks Launches Bug Bounty Program (threatpost.com) 1
Trailrunner7 writes: Following the lead of Mozilla and Google, Barracuda Networks is launching a bug bounty program that will pay out cash rewards for vulnerabilities found in the company's own products.
The move by Barracuda, a maker of mail security and data protection products, is the first such bug bounty program offered by a pure security technology vendor. Mozilla and Google are the two most prominent examples of general technology companies that offers rewards for vulnerabilities, and both of those companies have seen their programs succeed in the last year. In fact, both Google and Mozilla have raised the prices that they pay for the most severe bugs, with Mozilla shelling out up to $3,000 and Google paying as much as $3,133.7 for bugs.
