Submission + - Advice on open source round-robin seating progs.
gerald626 writes: My local community centre is planning a big game night. It's going to be a round-robin style of game, but not a tournament. Probably cribbage or some other table/card game. Everybody will get a chance to play everybody else but no more than twice, and we're not sure exactly how many people will turn up, or how many tables we will have. So we need a way to figure out the seating arrangements rather quickly. My question to the Slashdot community is, are you aware of any free (as in speech or as in beer) programs/spreadsheets/scripts/whatever that I can use to help figure out the seating arrangements? The community centre obviously doesn't have any budget for this, and I have been unsuccessful in finding anything on my own.
Thanks.

Submission + - New map IDs the core of the human brain
gerald626 writes: From the website "An international team of researchers has created the first complete high-resolution map of how millions of neural fibers in the human cerebral cortex — the outer layer of the brain responsible for higher level thinking — connect and communicate. Their groundbreaking work identified a single network core, or hub, that may be key to the workings of both hemispheres of the brain."
So basically our brain is a network connected to a hub. I wonder if I can get an upgrade to a GigE switch?

Question to Slashdot community — now that Nessus is no longer free (or at least the updates aren't), what will your next favorite vulnerability scanner be?
