在 SimpleBits 看到 elfURL 提到了 elfURL 這個短網址服務，不過… 沒提供 Bookmarklet 給大家用啊，這樣用的人怎麼可能會多 :p 就算你提供 RSS 讓使用者觀察某個短網址的狀態，可是還是很難用啊 :p
Update：shakalaca 在 comment 指出其實有提供 Bookmarklet o_O

從 Geeking with Greg 的 Google’s BigTable 得知 Jeff Dean 將在 10/18 在 華盛頓大學 講 BigTable：
BigTable is a system for storing and managing very large amounts of structured data. The system is designed to manage several petabytes of data distributed across thousands of machines, with very high update and read request rates coming from thousands of simultaneous clients. In this talk, Jeff will discuss the basic design of BigTable and its implementation, provide some performance measurements, and outline some current applications of the system. He’ll also touch on Google’s future goals and directions for the system.
屆時在 Colloquium and Televised Talk Information 也可以看到轉播。
在 ZDNet 上面這篇 The Web-based Office will have its day 列出了一張表，顯示了有一卡車的廠商與社群不斷嘗試透過瀏覽器建立 Web-based Applications。(Slashdot：Early AJAX Office Applications)
裡面有以前就一直被大家注意的 (用的人也蠻多的) S5、常常被拿出來當作 AJAX 示範的 Webnote、前幾天才出現的 The latest from Yahoo! Mail，當然，還有帶動 AJAX 風潮的 Gmail。
Slashdot 的報導，SSH Communications (當初發展 SSH Protocol 的公司) 認為 OpenSSH 的品質不足以成為企業級的產品：(SSH Claims Draw Open Source Ire)
OpenSSH is not an enterprise-class product that is needed for the demands of a large-scale deployment. We do not compare OpenSSH to our SSH Tectia solution, since it’s far from the same,
可是 OpenSSH 的佔有率遠遠超越其他人 XD
However, OpenSSH is very popular and is commonly deployed in almost all BSD, Unix and Linux systems. More than 87 percent of Internet-facing servers were using OpenSSH, according to an OpenSSH Internet scan in September 2004.
這段 Comment 直接說明了 SSH Communications 的氣量：
They claimed OpenSSH was not “enterprise ready”. Pointing out that many, many enterprises not only use it, but build it into their products is a fairly compelling rebuttal.
They are either using their own private definition of “enterprise” that doesn’t include organisations like Cisco, or they are lying. Either way, they are discredited.
Dave Child 的最新作品：HTML Character Entities Cheat Sheet。
網路上有很多 Cheat Sheets，但很少像他這樣做在一張裡面 (而且還提供 PDF & PNG 兩種格式)，印出來很方便：Cheat Sheets。

在六月的時候 MPAA 放棄 Broadcast Flag (在 Broadcast Flag 這篇有提到)，結果剛剛在 Slashdot 上看到 MPAA 又拿出 Broadcast Flag 出來：Broadcast Flag Back in Congress。
不過這種東西跟區碼一樣… hmmm…
居然 ForeverGeek 看到這個老消息：Yet Another Gmail，講 Gmail.cn 的問題…
在 Slashdot 看到為了要用 libtiff 的 security hole 進行 hacking，所以 SonyxTeam 放出了一個 Downgrade Software (噗)：PSP Firmware Downgrader Released。
在 Slashdot 看到的太陽能手提包：Solar-powered Handbag，要把太陽能拿來做什麼呢？照亮包包裡面的物品 XD
The contents of a woman’s handbag have long remained a mystery - often even to the owner - but a new design offers to shine a light on the problem.
我笑到肚子痛了 :~
