SCO: jurors too busy Facebooking to rule on Unix claim

SCO Group wants a judge to overrule a jury that found it doesn’t own Unix. Or it wants a fresh trial. Either, really, as long as SCO gets the result it wants. The company’s filed papers with a US court saying the jury hearing its case over whether SCO owned the Unix copyright, and that found for Novell last month, was either too stupid, too confused or too distracted to grasp the compelling power of its evidence.

Blender 2.49 Scripting: Shape Keys, IPOs, and Poses

  • packtpub.com; By Michel Anders (Posted by remsai10 on Apr 30, 2010 4:27 AM EDT)
  • Story Type: Tutorial; Groups: GNU
The Blender API provides us with the means to define IPOs from scratch, enabling the definition of movements not easily re-created by setting key frames by hand. Thus there is more to IPOs than just driving one IPO by another one. Furthermore, Shape keys and poses are examples of (collections of) IPOs that are quite different from, for example, a location IPO. We will encounter both shape keys and poses later on in this article, but we will start off with looking at how we might define an IPO from scratch.

Scaling NSClient++ with Nagios

  • BeginLinux.com/blog; By Mike Weber (Posted by aweber on Apr 30, 2010 3:29 AM EDT)
  • Story Type: Tutorial
Nagios can perform multiple checks using one connection on a Windows server using the CheckMultiple function and the NSClient++. This feature which acts much like check_multi allows you to save network and system resources with one check. The Nagios server then brings the "bad news" to the top by showing any checks that have Critical state in the web interface.

Ubuntu Server: The Linux OS Dark Horse

  • Server Watch; By Kenneth Hess (Posted by tracyanne on Apr 30, 2010 1:45 AM EDT)
Everyone has heard of Ubuntu Linux and how great it is on the desktop, but have you heard that there's a server version of that same uber-cool operating system? There is, and you should know about it. Ubuntu Server not only follows the same twice yearly updates (April and October) as its desktop counterpart does, but it also benefits from unsurpassed commercial support, consulting and training available through Canonical.

24 Extra Hot Free Linux Games (Part 1 of 3)

  • LinuxLinks.com; By Steve Emms (Posted by sde on Apr 30, 2010 1:00 AM EDT)
  • Story Type: Reviews, Roundups
If Linux is going to make significant strides in increasing market desktop share, it needs to be able to compete with Windows in all areas. The average computer user typically just wants a single operating system to use for their work, to surf the net, to keep in contact with family and friends, and to have some fun. Having to reboot between operating systems is frankly too inconvenient for many users, as well as being perceived as too difficult. Whilst you can run many Windows software from Linux (e.g. by using virtualisation software, or Wine), again this simply appears to add to the complexity of using the PC. Furthermore, whilst Wine does allow some of the hottest Windows games to run under Linux, it is inevitable there will always be some incompatibility issues.

Fight Image Spam With FuzzyOCR And SpamAssassin On Debian Lenny

  • HowtoForge; By Falko Timme (Posted by falko on Apr 29, 2010 11:23 PM EDT)
  • Story Type: Tutorial; Groups: Debian
This tutorial describes how to scan emails for image spam with FuzzyOCR on a Debian Lenny server. FuzzyOCR is a plugin for SpamAssassin which is aimed at unsolicited bulk mail containing images as the main content carrier. Using different methods, it analyzes the content and properties of images to distinguish between normal mails (ham) and spam mails. FuzzyOCR tries to keep the system load low by scanning only mails that have not already been categorized as spam by SpamAssassin, thus avoiding unnecessary work.

Is the Release of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS "Lucid Lynx" Delayed?

Today is Thursday, April 29, 2010. It's almost half past six in the morning in the western United States where I live. I started looking about the web for announcements of the production release of Ubuntu 10.04. I didn't find them. Given the time difference between me and Canonical, I figured the mirrors for the production download would be available by now. I decided to go to the source but the Ubuntu Home page still announces Ubuntu 9.10 as the latest production release. I double checked the release schedule and it does say the Lynx should be at final release on the 29th. Am I being impatient?

Much Awaited And Fully Loaded Ubuntu 10.04 LTS "Lucid Lynx" Released!

An In-depth Look at Gentoo Linux

Kernel News has an excellent article covering the ins and outs of running Gentoo Linux. Not sure why no one covers Gentoo Linux anymore, nice to see someone is covering this excellent Distribution.

How-to Become a Linux Gamer

There are several resources out there to assist you in being a Linux gamer. The WINE project (www.winehq.org) is a great, free example of this as it allows you to run Windows programs (and games) on Linux. Transgaming's Cedega (cedega.com) software also allows you to do the same but the difference is that there's a cost associated with this software. Today, though, we're going to introduce you to another option for being a Linux gamer-- the Linux-Gamers project (live.linux-gamers.net).

End of the Desktop? Google Backs WebGL

Stick a fork in the desktop, it's done! Recently Google demoed a port of Quake II to WebGL and HTML5, showing that even first person shooters are suitable applications to run in the browser. While the tide isn't going to turn all at once, it seems more likely than ever that a browser-based desktop is a viable option and ultimately the way many users will experience all applications.

This week at LWN: The case of the overly anonymous anon_vma

During the stabilization phase of the kernel development cycle, the -rc releases typically happen about once every week. 2.6.34-rc4 is a clear exception to that rule, coming nearly two weeks after the preceding -rc3 release. The holdup in this case was a nasty regression which occupied a number of kernel developers nearly full time for days. The hunt for this bug is a classic story of what can happen when the code gets too complex.

Ubuntu: Matt Asay Discusses Canonical Revenue Strategy

Patent fights could change Google's Android pitch

Microsoft has now joined Apple in a guerrilla war against Google's Android, and Google's next steps are far from certain. The smartphone industry is still in its infancy, but its strategic importance to computer companies big and small can't be overstated. Recent moves from Apple and Microsoft show that the big guys are not going to be shy about deploying their array of patents as competition increases.
