Submission + - Can you run an open GSM network?
Anonymous Coward writes: "Here in Vancouver cellphone companies are charging ridiculous amounts for basic cellphone plans. I'm wondering if it's possible to run an open/almost free GSM network on a small college campus.

Submission + - Samba Success in the Enterprise?
gunnk writes: "We've deployed a Samba server here to replace some aging Novell Netware boxes. It works great: fast, secure, stable.

Journal Journal: FBI Training Elite Swedish Anti-Piracy Force
"When it comes to piracy Sweden is no stranger to controversy.

Testosterone Tumbling in American Males 597
An anonymous reader writes "Yahoo is running a story about a study that concludes that testosterone levels are falling across all age groups among American men. It says 'The testosterone-fueled American male may be losing his punch'" I leave it to you all to draw your conclusions about this, but I still wonder what my hours of laptop-fu does to me.
