California Consumers Settle MS Antitrust Suit
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/01/11/0254200
[0]lseltzer writes "[1]According to AP, $1.1B in Microsoft products
will go to California consumers to settle antitrust claims against the
company. I bet the lawyers don't get paid in software." Actually, the
article says that those who apply for some of the settlement will
receive "vouchers redeemable for any manufacturer's computer-related
products and software."

Nintendo To Sell Old Consoles To China?

drfishy writes "An [0]interview with Nintendo president Satoru Iwata on
IGN hints at the possibility of Nintendo entering the Chinese market
with their products soon. The most curious part of the interview is
that Satoru Iwata says Nintendo is considering releasing older
generation hardware to combat piracy, could this mean the big N is
going to start making Super Nintendos again? Will there be new games?
How would this fight piracy?"

RCA PVR Will Use Free Guide+ Program Guide
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/01/10/237219
[0]Mark Leighton Fisher writes "RCA has announced [1](among other CES
goodies) a PVR/DVD player for this year that uses the free GUIDE Plus+
program guide rather than requiring an oncoming program guide contract.
Once we bring the price down (yes, I work there) I may break down and
get one, as I don't like the program guide fee required on current
PVRs. (This may be the first no-program guide-fee commercial PVR.)"

What Lawyers Can Learn From Manga
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/01/10/2256238
[0]jedigeek links to this article from Lawrence Lessig, writing
"[1]This article explains the interesting phenomenon of dojinshi, and
why dojinshi helps fuel the production of original manga. From a
western-perspective, dojinshi breaks copyright laws, but, according to
the article's author: 'The law is a rough-edged tool. It was not
crafted by geniuses of economics.' In a time when laws like the DMCA
exist and are being exploited, this is certainly food for thought."

Microsoft Drops .NET Name For Next Windows Server

(where x is currently expected to be 3). Other products with .NET in
the name are also being evaluated for renaming. [2]Analysts are being

RIAA Settlement: Possible Consumer Payback
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/01/10/1936203
KoopaTroopa writes "Over on [0]Ars Technica they are running a story
about the RIAA handing out consumer payments as a settlement to a
price-fixing class action. If you bought a recording at retail between
Jan. 1, 1995, and Dec. 22, 2000, [1] claim your money." As usual, the

Mandrake Releases 9.1b1, New Packaging Model
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/01/10/189220
DCowern writes "Mandrake today [0]announced version 9.1 of their
distribution. While there are some interesting choices for new packages
(like kernel 2.4.21pre2 and XFree86 4.3 beta) the most groundbreaking
thing about this release is the way in which they decide which packages
are "high priority" for development and inclusion in the standard
install. Any registered user at [1]MandrakeClub can vote. Their opinion
is that no one knows where development effort needs to be spent better
than the end-user." Update: 01/10 19:38 GMT by [2]T: That's

Free Software Licenses Revocable?
http://newsvac.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/01/11/1244221
A quick scan through the Free Software licenses I have immediately on

release a program under the GPL, and then announce five years later
that it and all derived works are under my private control again.

forth.

scenegraph/fields, and load and store x3d (next generation VRML xml

WormScan 1.5.5
http://freshmeat.net/releases/109071/
WormScan is a utility written in Java for the purpose of reporting
attempted attacks on your Apache Web server. It was written to be able
to support an unlimited number of worms. It is, however, very
extendable, and can easily be configured to search and report on just
about anything that can be found in your Web server's log files. The
reports themselves are customizable, and can easily be modified to suit
your needs. Numerous configuration options let you tweak the
performance and the output.
