ankurbUbuntu gets hopping with ‘Jaunty Jackalope’ – Yahoo! News.
‘Jaunty Jackalope’?! I think this whole Ubuntu-should-be-named-with-rhyming-words thing is going a bit to far. I mean, Jaunty Jackalope sounds like the nickname given by some shitty newspaper journo to some serial paedophile.
An open-source approach to tracking stolen laptops – Yahoo! News.
Systems for tracking laptops have been around for some time, plus that case where SETI@Home helped track a stolen laptop. Now, University of Washington is working on an open-source software to solve the same problem. The software is in beta testing stage right now, so might not be very stable – but it’s a step in the right direction – not having to pay a fistful of money in annual membership fees to track your laptop.
