Posted by CmdrTaco on Tuesday June 20, @04:43AMfrom the compatibility:-what-a-beautiful-idea dept. DragonHawk writes: "Miguel of GNOME fame and Rikkus of KDE/KParts fame have been talking about collaborating to build a common object component architecture for use in both KDE and GNOME. This would let developers and users alike share components from both projects, which would just rock." There's a lot to this one, and largely it's technical stuff, but it is definitely interesting.

Massive stars have been shown to collapse aspherically, and chunks blown off in this process may recoil the neutron-star remnant in the opposite direction." ( Read More... | 34 of 70 comments )
Posted by emmett on Monday June 19, @10:36PMfrom the shut-up-and-buy dept. blaine writes: "There is an interesting article at CNN regarding the differing policies towards privacy that the United States and most of Europe have. It details some of the disputes between the United States and Europe with respects to the United States not being as strict in enforcing online privacy." ( Read More... | 100 of 139 comments )
Posted by Hemos on Monday June 19, @07:59PMfrom the what-about-oscar? dept. michael.creasy writes "The BBC has a article about a new nanosatellite due to be launched later this year. The idea is that the satellite be used to latch on to and slow down junk in space so that they will fall out of orbit and burn up on re-entry. " The only problem, as the article points out, is that there's no one really interested in purchasing this right now. Still, it's a pretty cool, especially if the price points are correct.

Posted by timothy on Monday June 19, @06:33PMfrom the or-rather-what-isn't dept. Ur@eus writes "Hi, We have just interviewed Sven Neuman, lead developer on the Gimp. The interview covers the upcoming 1.2, 1.3 and 2.0 releases of the Gimp and how [they]will evolve further. You will find the interview here" Improved path support, GIMP/GNOME interaction and an improved rendering system are a few of the points that Sven addresses -- The GIMP has impressed for years and keeps getting better.

Posted by Cliff on Monday June 19, @03:23PMfrom the finding-your-servers-a-good-home dept. willeg asks: "I am charged with the task of recommending a company for co-locating our auction site. The problem is that on paper, they all look about the same. What other information should be used in order to make the decision on a good hosting pick service?" This will probably be a question that many will ask in the future. With the Internet being the 'next big thing', everyone will be looking to stake a claim on their own portion the digital real-estate. Problem is, not many people can afford the bandwidth costs of getting wired for high-speed access, especially for businesses in out-of-the-way areas. Is colocation the easy answer? Or is just as expensive? ( Read More... | 156 of 234 comments )
Posted by CmdrTaco on Monday June 19, @02:28PMfrom the oh-yawn-it's-benchmark-time dept. BigZaphod writes: "BeNews has a story up that compares GLQuake and Quake2(GL) on BeOS R5 to Windows and Linux (Corel). They compare stats using a Voodoo2, Voodoo3, and a Matrox G200. BeOS wins almost every round -- sometimes by huge margins." Update: 06/19 09:06 by CT: several people pointed out that they did the tests under XF86 3.3 which of course is not an even remotely fast 3D platform. Restesting at the very least under XF86 4 w/ DRI would be necessary to get a fair comparison. ( Read More... | 297 of 556 comments )
Posted by CmdrTaco on Monday June 19, @01:30PMfrom the balancing-the-books dept. Ur@eus writes: "The Gnucash team has released the 1.4.0 version of their wonderful Quicken-like personal finance manager. This is the first stable release since the move from Motif to GNOME. You find Gnucash 1.4.0 at Gnucash.org" This plugs a major gaping hole in Linux software: I've been using gnucash for a year now, and it's made great leaps in terms of features and stability. It isn't quicken, but its close enough for most of us. ( Read More... | 133 of 202 comments )

Bazzargh writes: "This article at nothingventured (annoying but free registration required) says that British Telecom have hired Scipher to enforce (in the US) an old patent -- predating the WWW -- that they hold on the concept of hyperlinking! Apparently they'll be seeking compensation from all ISPs. I've had a look on the IBM Patents Database but I can't see the patent referred to." ( Read More... | 390 of 549 comments )
