12/19/2003 11:45 AMMSFT's apparent incapacity for patching MSIE vulnerabilities hasn't
deterred open-source hackers, who have released a free software patch
for a well-known Explorer vulnerability.
Update: Andrew sez, "...it contains buffer overflow exploits that are wide open for hax0r5 to take
advantage of. In addition, it redirects weird URL requests to -it's
own website-."
Update: Yoz points out

08/03/2004 10:28 AMwashingtonpost.com - Plenty of tech experts have spent years trying to
convince the general public that the Linux operating system is
becoming more of a threat to Microsoft's Windows. With the LinuxWorld
conference underway this week in San Francisco, there is finally a
sure-fire sign that this may be the case: Microsoft won't be there.

arms into a box of tarantulas or allow open source software (OSS) on
their networks, and odds are most would start rolling up their
sleeves. Not to do any downloading, either.
Open source cracks publishing wide open
Open source cracks publishing wide open
06/17/2004 11:24 AMOnce upon a time, publishing was the domain of large corporations.
Then came desktop publishing and the tools to produce a book shrank
from the cost of an aircraft carrier to the price tag of a PT boat.
Now, small publishers on the bleeding edge of technology are fomenting
a revolution that may change the publishing market forever. Open
source publishing tools, long derided as not being ready for battle,
are proving themselves in the trenches of small publishing.

Information Resources
05/13/2004 05:19 AMThe Economics of Open Source Hijacking and Declining Quality
of Digital Information Resources: A Case for Copyleft by Andrea
Ciffolillihttp://opensourc
e.mit.edu/papers/ciffolili.pdfAbstract:The economics of information goods
suggest the need of institutional intervention to address the problem
of revenue extraction from investments in resources characterized by
high fixed costs of production and low marginal costs of reproduction
and distribution. Solutions to the appropriation issue, such as
copyright, are supposed to guarantee an incentive for innovative
activities at the price of few vices marring their rationale. In the
case of digital information resources, apart from conventional
inefficiencies, copyright shows an extra vice since it might be used
perversely as a tool to hijack and privatise collectively provided
open source and open content knowledge assemblages. Whilst the impact
of hijacking on open source software development may be uncertain or
uneven, some risks are clear in the case of open content works. The
paper presents some evidence of malicious effects of hijacking in the
Internet search market by discussing the case of The Open Directory
Project. Furthermore, it calls for a wider use of novel institutional
remedies such as copyleft and Creative Commons licensing, built upon
the paradigm of copyright customisation.

When Open Source doesn't open and source
doesn't matter
When Open Source doesn't open and source
doesn't matter
07/20/2004 11:14 AMOne frustration too many: time for a rant. When a bug in Mozilla
(keyboard focus is on the previously selected window) has remained
unfixed for at least 18 to 24 months, when XFree86 mouse interaction
with PS/2 or GPM remains hazardous and makes a system unusable and
that bug has been fobbed off to the kernel developers and not dealt
with for at least two years - when there are more examples like this
that make using Open Source software a pain, what do you do?
Are you one of the few people with the time and money and
expertise sufficient to delve into the source yourself to fix the
problem?
Do we have it "too good" and these niggles are, by comparison to
the rest of the world's computer users (Windows), absolute peanuts?
