Tackling The Problem Of AâSluggish Computer
,----[ Quote ]
| âTreacherous Computingâ that stealthily takes away rights
| from users, so says âThe Free Software Foundationâ who has
| launched a campaign against Microsoft Windows 7. At their
| Boston based Web site; Windows7Sins.org, has listed seven
| sins that software, such as this, commits against computer
| users:
|
| Poisoning education, locking in users, abusing standards
| such as Open Document Format, leveraging monopolistic
| behavior, threatening user security, enforcing Digital
| Rights Management, and invading privacy.â MS has not
| responded to a request for comment.

Software Freedom Day 2009
,----[ Quote ]
| It was a nice, crisp fall day outside, but we had a great
| group of people gathered inside at Encuentro 5 in
| Chinatown for Boston's Software Freedom Day. There were
| talks on hacking your blog, women in free software, free
| software on mobile devices, and how free software
| economics works.

Resurrect your old PC
,----[ Quote ]
| Rather than throw old hardware away because it can't cope with Vista's bloat,
| we show you how to put it to good use - read on to learn how to transform
| your old computer into a mail server, a fileserver, a web server, a spam
| blocker, a PC for kids and more!
|
| [...]
|
| The test rig used for testing most of the software we will discuss is
| actually slightly lower spec, it has a 700MHz Celeron processor, because
| that's what I found in the pile of computer gear I never throw away in my
| loft, right next to my faithful old - but non-functioning - Amiga 4000.
