From the Free-Stuff Dept:

Real World GoLive 6 (On The Web) [Boing-Boing]

Very cool, and very nice for you GoLike addicts. I'm very interested to see far this whole "giving stuff away" thing goes.





From the Bugs Dept:

Slashdot | Bug Reporting Etiquette

The basic jist of the article is: Don't Panic, and Please Tell Us (Exactly) What's Going On. As always with Slashdot some comments are very insightful as well (and some are just l4m3r d00ds).





From the Frameworks Dept:

kuro5hin.org || More Qt

Seeing how others deal with problems may lead to insight on your own. I'm feeling very Zen-ish, can you tell?





From the Linux Dept:

Slashdot | TerraSoft Releases YellowDog Linux 3.0

w00t. Congrats to the team.





From the Be-Careful Dept:

Slashdot | U.S. May Reduce Non-Military GPS Accuracy

Great, from 3 meter accuracy (meaning that you're on top of the thing you're hunting for) vs 100 (or possibly more) meters (meaning that you still may be up to a football field length away. Good for protection from enemies using GPS, bad for people who use GPS every day (like people in On-Star cars - I'm guessing they use GPS).





From the Hmmm-That-Really-Narrows-It-Down Dept:

Wired News: Not Just Your Average Loser

Male. Obsessed with computers. Lacking a girlfriend. Aged 14 to 34. Capable of sowing chaos worldwide.

That is the profile of the average computer-virus writer, an anti-virus expert said on Tuesday.

. Yes, that narrows it down quite a bit.

Oh yes, and to get even more specific, they like computers.





From the Bugs Dept:

Wired News: Leaked Bug Alerts Cause a Stir

There's a controversy in my mind. In one way I believe that bugs should be private to the vendor, in another way I believe that if a user knows about a bug, they can take steps to protect themselves from it.
