German Company To Install Linux On 10,000 PCs

Slashdot
jfruhlinger writes "Linux proponents used to proclaim that the era of Linux on the desktop was just around the corner. That may never come to pass, but there are still occasional wins. For instance, a German insurance giant will be moving 10,000 employees to Linux-based desktop and laptop machines."

Conesville resident creates car that gets 200 mpg | Zanesville Times Recorder

Media_httpcmsimgzanes_bpidd

Kathie Dickerson Staff Writer Apr 17, 2011|

COSHOCTON -- Heinz-Gustav Reisser developed an appreciation for the environment while working on land his parents have owned for more than 30 years. It fueled the Conesville-area resident's drive to find a solution for two issues plaguing Americans and the world: dependence on foreign oil and concern about fuel emissions degrading air quality. After seven years of development, Reisser has built a car powered by diesel that gets about 200 miles per gallon when driven at 70 mph. "To be honest, I just love cars, and I wanted to help the general public," said Reisser, chief executive officer of Niama- Reisser LLC. The NR-1 Supermileage Vehicle made its debut in March at the Geneva Auto Convention in Geneva, Switzerland.

Today Is Record Store Day 2011

Slashdot
An anonymous reader writes "Today marks the 5th annual Record Store Day, a celebration of independent record stores. As a music lover, I think this day is of dire importance." I know Free Comic Book Day (for 2011, that's May 7) has gotten a lot of people into comic stores who otherwise wouldn't — partly because of the many free comics given away — but hadn't heard of the record-store equivalent. It'd be nice for record stories to give away tons of 7" vinyl promos.

The World's Biggest Pac-Man game takes over the internet, your life -- Engadget

Media_httpwwwblogcdnc_lmart

It's officially the weekend, which means you've got two choices: one, mimic iTr3vor and toss up a YouTube video of yourself dancing in an Apple Store, or two, blow your own mind with the magic of HTML5. In between hour-long Pica-Pic sessions, we'd recommend killing time in The World's Biggest Pac-Man game, which can be "played for fun" or linked to your Facebook account for those who savvy statistics. We'd bother telling you more, but we're fairly sure you're already firmly occupied with the source link. You're welcome. Or, we're sorry.

FTP is 40 years old

http://tech.slashdot.org/story/11/04/15/2324253/FTP-Is-40-Years-Old

An anonymous reader writes "FTP celebrates its 40th birthday tomorrow. Originally launched as the RFC 114 specification, which was published on 16 April 1971, FTP is arguably even more important today than when it was born. Frank Kenney, vice president of global strategy for US managed file transfer company Ipswitch, said that the protocol we know as FTP today is 'a far cry from when Abhay Bushan, a student at MIT, wrote the original specifications for FTP.' According to Kenney, the standard has grown from 'a simple protocol to copy files over a TCP-based network [to] a sophisticated, integrated model that provides control, visibility, compliance and security in a variety of environments, including the cloud.'"

Officers Pull Woman From Burning Car | WBNS-10TV, Central Ohio News #GoodNews

http://www.10tv.com/live/content/local/stories/2011/04/14/story-hilliard-columbus-officers-save-woman-burning-car.html?sid=102

HILLIARD, Ohio — A group of Columbus police officers are being credited with saving a woman who was trapped inside a burning car early Thursday morning.

The rescue happened shortly before 2 a.m. in the 6000 block of Roberts Road, 10TV's Shayla Reaves reported.

Yuri Daikizono apparently fell asleep while driving and crashed into a guardrail. The impact caused the car to land on its side near a small creek. According to police, officers inside a Columbus police helicopter noticed the flames from the air and directed authorities on the ground to the crash.

A group of Columbus officers were the first to arrive, Reaves reported.

TC Cribs: Inside The Snuggified Home Of @Posterous

TechCrunch

It’s time for a new episode of TC Cribs, and this week we’re showcasing the home of one of the easiest-to-use blogging platforms around: Posterous, the service that lets you turn an email into a blog post (among other things).

As you’ll see in the tour, the Posterous office is located in the heart of San Francisco’s Mission District so there’s always something exciting going on outside the window. The team has also developed a strange affinity for a certain inexpensive beer… and Snuggies. Oh, and don’t worry if you’re not sure how to actually pronounce “Posterous” — in this episode, we answer the question once and for all.

Once again, credit to Ashley Pagán and John Murillo for the camera work, and to Mr. Murillo for the great editing.

If you haven’t already, make sure to check out the past episode of TC Cribs:
