SCO Threatens to Press IP Claims on Linux -$99/cpu
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/01/13/0111216
Tangential writes "New [0]story on LinuxBusiness week says SCO is about
to mount an effort to get all Linux sites to pay a per cpu license for
so-called patent violations."SCO has been proposing to charge users $96
per CPU for a so-called one-time System 5 for Linux software license to
protect their systems from SCO-enforced patent issues if they ante up
as soon as demand is made." They've retained David Boies (DOJ
prosecutor of Microsoft) to handle the legal issues." Note: I've been
unable to substantiate this - which are fairly incendiary claims.
Further updates as more is heard.

Alpha Lives! But Who Will Market It?

chriton writes "[0]The Inquirer is running articles [1]about HP's and
[2]new "Marvel" server which will arrive Tuesday, Jan 14th and the
expectation that HP will try to keep it's performance quiet. Not
because it's bad like Itanic I, but because it's too good! It's built
on Alpha EV78 processors connected by a switched fabric and promises
blazing performance. "Marvel has, apparently some rollickingly good
benchmarks that HP wants to underplay, just in case people start
comparing the performance of the Alpha Marvel architecture with the
Itanium 2 it also sells, and perhaps more importantly, the SuperDome
machines." Alpha offers the kind of choice and competition the
processor market will sorely miss when it goes. The FTC was sleeping

http://freshmeat.net/releases/109283/
ZoneMinder is a set of applications which support capture, analysis,

a Linux system. It features a user-friendly Web interface which allows
viewing, archival, review, and deletion of images and movies captured
by the cameras. The image analysis system is highly configurable,
permitting retention of specific events, while eliminating false
positives. ZoneMinder is built around the definition of a set of
individual 'zones' of varying sensitivity and functionality for each
camera. This allows the elimination of regions which should be ignored
or the definition of areas which will alarm if various thresholds are
exceeded in conjunction with other zones. All management, control, and
other functions are supported through the Web interface.
