snowdon writes: "The UNSW solar car, Jaycar Sunswift III, set off yesterday in an attempt to break the world record for a west-to-east crossing of Australia: about 4000km. The previous record stands at 8.5 days, set by Dick Smith and Aurora in 1993, and the team is attempting to complete the journey in less than 6. The car is one of the most advanced ever built, and is the result of several years of undergrad and postgrad volunteer labour. Features of interest: the car's design was refined by performing simulations on a large (80 PC) cluster for three months; the car is constructed almost exclusively using carbon fibre (including suspension and steering components); the car's control, power and telemetry electronics are custom-built and run both Linux and L4/Iguana. You can track the team's progress over the next few days at www.sunswift.com."

It doesn't do very much yet, but it does boot into an interactive shell that is accessible through a serial port located on the headphone jack. There is also a minimal statically-linked userland based on sources in the uClinux-dist package. Check it out here."

Submission + - Second Life Sued For Stolen Virtual Property

Petey_Alchemist writes: "The press loves Second Life, the MMORPG with a twist. For years, Linden Labs — the founders and administrators of Second Life — averred that yes, you do own your land, and yes, you do own your intellectual property (animations, scripts, etc.) However, the terms also reserve the right for Linden Labs to ban you and reabsorb your assets on a whim.

This contradiction, as might be expected, has been the source of much in-world drama over the last few years. But now, Pennsylvania lawyer Mark Bragg is taking Linden Labs to court. Bragg alleges that the company committed a crime when, after he used an exploit to underbid on a land auction, Linden Labs not only invalidated his purchase, but also refused to refund the money. When he complained, they banned him, resold his land, took the $2000 U.S. worth of Linden Dollars he had in his account, and then continued to charge him property tax for the land he could no longer access.

Second Life Insider (which, editorially, takes an anti-Bragg stance) has the first story on actual filing, and includes a link to the full text of the complaint."

Except, in your example, "Hydrology" would be spelled "hiderologee", or hydrologee. So does that still mean aquatic studies? Or does it mean hiding at one gravity, or hiding while gleefully surprised, or something that makes no damn sense at all, with a connection to water, but no connection to studies? This is patently absurd.

There is only one thing that will absolutely, 100% get you placed on my foes list(There are others, but I make exceptions to those rules, unlike this one). That offence is to post a link to Goatse.cx.
That was never funny.
It isn't funny now.

I'm simply glad that by default slashdot makes it blatently obvious where the link goes. Still, first-timers will still wander in blindly, and the less eyeballs seared by this foulne
