Just Murmuring :)
O’Reilly 公告他們決定要成立 CodeZoo – Java 的 CPAN：CodeZoo, a new O’Reilly site, launches，不過與 CPAN 不太一樣：
We’re not focused on hosting developer projects, like SourceForge, nor on comprehensively listing all open source Java code. Instead, we’ve hand-selected a list of the components we think will be the easiest and best to use in your development projects — whether you are an open source or commercial developer.
用人工選？這樣跟 CPAN 差太多了。
在 Slashdot 上也有許多不同的聲音：Developer Site CodeZoo Launches
有時候會看到一些「有趣」的新聞，像是 Slashdot 今天報導的，2008 年後，美國人從加拿大回美國需要護照 (但出境不用 XD)：U.S. to Require Passport To Re-Enter Country。
於是就很有可能發生出去回不來的情況？:p 當然，到大使館補辦也是一種方法啦，只是很好笑而已 XD
剛剛冒著當機的危險 (?) 去 Hot-unplug x31 的電池，結果好像可以這樣幹，至少沒當機 XD
在 The Register 看到這個「非常有名」的 Domain Name 判決：Sex.com ruling upheld by Court of Appeals。
原因起於 1994 年 Gary Kremen 註冊了 sex.com，而 Stephen Cohen 故意假造信件要求 Network Solutions 要求 Transfer：
Kremen, of San Francisco, originally registered the name in 1994. But Cohen, an ex-convict, took the name from Kremen the following year by sending a forged letter of transfer to Network Solutions (which subsequently became part of VeriSign).
然後 Stephen Cohen 到 2000 年十一月前利用這個騙來的 domain 架設色情網站獲取暴利：
Cohen then ran a highly profitable porn portal until November 2000 when a court awarded Kremen the return of the domain name.
然後跑到歐洲去爽：
Cohen has paid nothing to Kremen, and Kremen says that a warrant is out for his arrest. But according to the fascinating article by USA Today, Cohen is now in Europe, making what he describes as a “very comfortable living” in the European casino and construction industries.
另外 VeriSign 也因此被告：
Kremen also sued VeriSign for the initial blunder, a case that settled last year with the company paying Kremen an undisclosed sum.
被 Google fire 的 Mark Jen 又開始寫 blog 了：plaxoed! [Mark Jen’s life @ Plaxo]，這是他用的是 WordPress，因為他說這幾陣子 Blogger 變龜了 XD
因為 CVS 轉到 Subversion 轉不動：KDE Chooses BitKeeper for Source Code Repository。其中一段：
Unfortunately, due to many unresolved issues and technical problems with Subversion, the move has proven impossible.
hmmm，真苦…
Update：jeese 告知這是 4/1 新聞 XD
ThreadWatch 看到的：igrep.com – The Developer’s Search Engine，拿來找 code 好像還蠻方便的？
Boing Boing 提到在 time.nist.gov 的 port 78 上面有奇怪的東西：Coded messages on US govt timeserver’s nonstandard port，還猜測是 CIA 提供 publickey 給間諜的方式？XD (雖然不是很像 :p)
“In particular, the second number of the second groupings appears simply to be a second count, though what the rest of the numbers mean is unclear. It’s possible that the CIA is sending encryption keys to its spies this way, but it seems unlikely. A few of the numbers in the first grouping barely change at all over repeated pings, which would make it extremely poor key material generator.”
Google 想搞 Video Hosting (Home-made Video，沒有版權問題的 :p) 這塊，Larry Page (PageRank 的發明人，Google 的創辦人) 在 National Cable & Telecommunications Association 公開表示他們有意願想要玩，而一般猜測這幾天應該會有正式的網站或是新聞稿出來：Google Experiments with Video Blogging (Slashdot)、Google To Host Home-Video Uploads (advancedIPpipeline)、Google queues up video (News.COM)、Google wants your DIY porn videos (The Register，這個標題讓我笑出來了 XD)。
