Submission + - Linux Gets Virused Via Wine (opensourcenerd.com) 1

Submitted by fsufitch
fsufitch writes: Wine has advanced enough to make Linux *not* immune to Windows viruses. However, just like many Wine applications, it takes a bit of effort to get the program off the ground.

fsufitch writes: "On September 30th, the "Open College Textbook Act of 2009" was introduced to the Senate and referred to committee. The bill proposes that all educational materials published or produced using federal funds need to be published under open licenses. The reasoning behind it takes into account the changing way information is distributed because of the Internet, the high price of college and textbooks, and the dangerously low college graduation rates in the US. Will a bill such as this endanger publishing companies in the same way Internet journalism endangers traditional journalism?"
