Sun is stopping open development for OpenSolaris anyway. Any opensource ZFS adaptation will now be behind the Solaris implementation, since the next source drop is when Solaris 11 is released.

IMO the most sensible thing to do would be to stagnate but not kill mysql while at the same time using code from mysql to build a mysql compatible interface to oracle and a tool for migrating data from mysql to oracle.

CREATE TABLE ... ENGINE=ORACLE would be a great April 1 joke.

Journal Journal: The new user page sucks. 1

Journal by Mr2001 on Monday November 24, 2008 @09:26PM

Seriously. Now when I click on my name, instead of getting a neat list of the last N comments I've written, I get a big green mess containing the mangled text of the last comment I wrote, followed by the Slashdot homepage. Uh.. is this supposed to be an improvement?

And why do all the Firehose-based pages turn <i> into <blockquote>, anyway? It makes metamod damn confusing, and now I have to deal with it on my user page too!

They are already doing this. It's called Common Building Blocks. Seems to me like it's mostly used by the smaller players in the market however...

Teen Sues MySpace Over Sexual Assault 979

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Tuesday June 20, 2006 @03:19AM from the passing-the-buck dept.

kaufmanmoore writes "A 14-year old is suing myspace for $30 million claiming the site failed to protect her from a 19-year old she met through the site. The suit claims that MySpace doesn't verify a user's identity or age and doesn't do enough to protect users."

Microsoft Talks Daily With Your Computer 686

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday June 07, 2006 @09:20PM from the what-could-go-wrong dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Microsoft Corp. acknowledged Wednesday that it needs to better inform users that its tool for determining whether a computer is running a pirated copy of Windows also quietly checks in daily with the software maker. The company said the undisclosed daily check is a safety measure designed to allow the tool, called Windows Genuine Advantage, to quickly shut down in case of a malfunction." The EULA is suppose to disclose this daily call-in feature. Lauren Weinstein, who is co-founder of People for Internet Responsibility, was one of the first people to notice the daily communications to Microsoft. Report from Yahoo.com"

3D, FPS File Manager 226

An anonymous reader writes "Has your boss pissed you off and left his Samba share open to the world? Looking for something different in a file manager? Brutal File Manager may be for you. I found its Freshmeat page while I was looking for a new filemanager. I thought maybe the Slashdot crowd could appreciate it. So far only the delete function works." That's the only one you need anyway.
