Outlawing CO2 would solve ALL the problems! There'd be nobody left to cause them.

Awesome, thanks a bunch! I tried using wget and recursive download, but I got a 403 error. I tried using the talks download page as a referrer, but it still gave me the 403. (And yes, I remembered the different spelling of referrer in the HTML standards.) I saw nothing in the source of the page, and I'm pretty sure I've got all the options and URL's right. Any insights?

Submission + - Ubuntu in 2007: To the server side and beyond?

Submitted by OSS_ilation on Wednesday April 11, 2007 @08:58AM

OSS_ilation writes: As the launch of Ubuntu "Feisty Fawn" 7.04 draws near, proponents of the Linux operating system are predicting much wider adoption of it in server environments. The target appears to be Redmond. Enterprise adoption has been a long term goal of Mark Shuttleworth and company at Canonical Ltd., but until this latest release Ubuntu was content as one the most popular Linux desktop distributions out there. That could change however, as a perfect storm of sorts lines up for Ubuntu over the course of the year. Fawn boasts new virtualization support, LTSP (thin client support added in Edgy Eft), and a renewed effort from corporate maintainer Canonical to get the OS into developing countries and governments that desire a free and open infrastructure for their constituencies. It's a more robust OS than it once was, but will that be enough to take market share from Microsoft?

Feed Samsung's SpinPoint MP1 laptop drive: 200GB at 7200rpm -- a world's best (engadget.com)

From feed by engfeed on Wednesday April 11, 2007 @08:32AM

Filed under: Storage

Samsung is launching a pair of 2.5-inch hard disk drives this morning for use by suits and regular ol' plebs. The business minded SpinPoint MP1 is the most interesting of the two by far, offering a massive 200GB of data spinning at a 7200rpm off a SATA 3.0Gbps interface -- an industry best. They say it's intended for enterprise RAID and blade servers but don't be surprised when people start bunging 'em into their laptops. The lowly SpinPoint M5 then, goes up to 160GB at 5400rpm with a SATA 1.5Gbps interface. However, Sammy wants you to know that a "dual-disk" model is under development offering up to 250GB of storage. Both will begin mass production in May for undisclosed prices.

Submission + - Nearly transparent, electrically conductive cement

Submitted by zero_offset on Wednesday April 11, 2007 @08:27AM

zero_offset writes: The Tokyo Institute of Technology has announced a process for creating an inexpensive, nearly transparent, electrically conductive alumina cement, reports Pink Tentacle, a blog that focuses on a broad range of interesting news from Japan. Conductivity is comparable to metal, and the transparency should be adequate for use in display panels. The process relies upon commonplace and inexpensive metals compared to the rare metals such as iridium currently used in display panels. (This is probably useful in many other ways, but slashdot's section/topic choices for articles are somewhat arbitrary and limited.) The blog links to several Japanese-language articles which have defied all my attempts to translate them.
