For the week ending Sunday, October 29th:
Founder asks Wikipedia community what copyrights to buy if they had the money - Is there enough money to do anything helpful? How does this help if the most useful works are orphan works? How would, or should, the effective of the purchases be gauged? Ask me and they should send the money to IPac or a similar group to further reform efforts.
Killer Incompatibilities between GPL3 and GPL2? - If the new version is indeed incompatibility, I think that does it for whatever marginal value RMS added to the conversation.
Online hacker forums - Another piece dug u by Schneier that shed some light on the mentality of malicious hackers.
Microsoft's Block of a Rootkit Vector Pointless - I think this is only useful in that if provides further evidence of how the giant's piece meal approach will never achieve the security they so desperately require.
Blending FLOSS with a CoOp - I like seeing evidence of the principles of open-ness positively and concretely encouraging innovation, even if it is with business models versus something more directly appealing to a hacker.
Minor eVoting Scew Up in Virginia - The list of problems grows, this one is thankfully minor and may be addressable in a near future firmware update.
Struts Contributor Clarifies the History of Struts 2 - And it is admittedly very confusing. However, I now am more inclined to checking out Shale and Struts 2 when they each reach GA than I was before reading this.
Fight Against COPA/CDA II Marches On - CDA and its successor, COPA, are not news, but that there is legal action still underway presently sort of is. Past judges have banned enforcement but still proponents keep pushing.
