Enquanto aguardo uma resposta à minha proposta feita aos responsáveis da
lista para uma resolução agradável para todos os utilizadores da ANSOL...
mando só em Digest.

São só 4. Este fim-de-semana não deu para lêr muita coisa :-)

Linux Kernel Bugzilla Launched
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/11/14/234249

    [0]paskie writes "Martin J. Bligh of IBM [1]announced launch of a
    [2]Bugzilla bug tracking database for 2.5 linux kernel series - it's at
    [3]bugme.osdl.org. Finally there will be some possibility to easily
    keep track of known bugs without being subscribed to thousand of
    mailing lists or googling to death. According to the relevant lkml
    thread, kernel developers will still prefer discussions to happen on
    the mailing lists, though. The Bugzilla server and connection is
    donated by [4]OSDL and IBM folks administer the database."

W3C Policy To Favor Royalty-Free Patents Only
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/11/14/2037216

    A [0]report on NewsForge notes that the Last Call Working Draft of the
    World Wide Web Consortium's patent policy has reversed the possibility
    found in earlier drafts of allowing patents in Web standards which
    required "Reasonable and Non-Discriminatory" (RAND) licensing fees.
    This draft is the result of the [1]vote by the W3C's patent policy
    board mentioned last month, which came after a [2]proposed loosening of
    the royalty-free standards in the Fall of 2001.

Using Your Own Name May Be Infringement, Part 2
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/11/14/1940206

    phillymjs writes "We're probably all familiar with [0]Uzi Nissan and
    his fight to keep his nissan.com domain name from the clutches of
    Nissan Motors. Well, more same-name idiocy came to light today-- the
    [1]Atlanta Journal-Constitution is [2]reporting that their staff music
    writer, Bill Wyman, has received a cease-and-desist letter from lawyers
    representing former Rolling Stone Bill Wyman, for "a seriously
    misleading and, arguably, an intentional, unauthorized exploitation of
    our client's name, goodwill and publicity value." It should be
    interesting to see how this one plays out, because Bill Wyman the
    musician was born William George Perks and changed his name to Bill
    Wyman in 1964. Journalist Bill Wyman was given that name at his birth
    in 1961."

Taiwan Asks Microsoft To Open Windows Source
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/11/14/1813251

    [0]Andy Tai writes "According to [1]this China Times article (in
    Chinese), the Republic of China government has asked Microsoft to open
    Windows source code. The official, Lin Jua-Cheng, in charge of the
    [2]'e-government' initiative, says many other countries have also sent
    similar requests to Microsoft. Lin explains that without Windows source
    code, the government cannot add custom firewall functionalities to
    Windows based systems in wide use, and that is very bad for the
    information security of Taiwan. Microsoft refused to publicly release
    the source in the past using reasons of copyright protection, but Lin
    emphasizes this request is reasonable since it is based on (government
    users') necessity." Read on for a bit more, too. (Can anyone suggest an
    online Chinese <--> English translation engine that produces other than
    gibberish?)
