[0]itwbennett writes "Use of the GPL, LGPL, and AGPL set of licenses is
[1]declining at an accelerating rate, according to new [2]analysis by the
451 Group's Matthew Aslett. In fact, the 451 Group projects that GPL
usage will hit 50% by September 2012. Instead, developers are licensing
projects under permissive licenses such as the MIT, Apache (ASL), BSD,
and Ms-PL. The shift started in 2007 and has been gathering momentum ever
since. Blogger Brian Proffitt posits that 'the creation of the GPLv3 and
the sometimes contentious discussion that led up to it' may be partly
responsible for the move away from the GPL."

+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[0]Hugh Pickens writes writes "Many of today's toys contain rare-earth
magnets which are much more powerful than the magnets of yesteryear and
the magnets pose a serious threat to children when more than one is
ingested because as the magnets attract one another they can cause a
[1]range of serious injuries, including holes through internal organs,
blood poisoning and death (PDF). Braden Eberle, 4, swallowed two tiny
magnets from his older brother's construction kit on two successive days
last spring and his mother's first reaction was that the magnet would
pass through her son's system without a problem. "People swallow pennies
of the same size every day," said Jill Eberle. "They're smaller than an
eraser." But next morning, with Braden still in pain, the family's doctor
told them to go straight to the emergency room where an X-ray revealed
two magnets were stuck together. "They were attracted to each other with
the wall of each segment they were in stuck together," said Dr. Sanjeev
Dutta, the pediatric surgeon at Good Samaritan Hospital who would operate
on Braden later that day. "[2]Because they were so powerful, the wall of
the intestine was getting squeezed, squeezed, squeezed, and then it just
necrosed, or kind of rotted away, and created a hole between the two."
The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) says at least [3]33
children have been injured from ingesting magnets (PDF) with a 20
month-old dying, and at least 19 other children requiring surgery."

+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First time accepted submitter LazyBoyWrangler writes "Just noticed the
'free' non-commercial service from DynDNS [0]has been deprecated. Not my
place to argue with their business model changes, but the home router
infrastructure out there has been built around the promise of free
dynamic DNS service. Most manufacturers offer DynDNS as their only
option. Removing the free service for non-commercial folks seems
disingenuous when they are the only option for many users." According to
the linked page, the free service is being drastically cut back for new
users (one free hostname, rather than five, and from a shorter list of
branded domains), but not ended entirely. Existing users, it says, will
see no changes "as long as you keep your hostnames active and up-to-date.
If you allow your account or hostnames to expire, you will have to select
from the new domains instead and will be limited to the one free
hostname."

Tootech points out this story for anyone who's been curious about getting
that top-secret clearance and the promise of a cushy pension from the
CIA, as a reward for decades of blood-curdling, heart-pounding,
knuckle-whitening IT service: "[0]Be prepared to go through a lot of
scrutiny if you want to work in the Central Intelligence Agency's IT
department, says chief information officer Al Tarasiuk. And it doesn't
stop after you get your top secret clearance. 'Once you're in, there are
frequent reinvestigations, but it's just part of process here,' says
Tarasiuk, who also gets polygraphed regularly, though he won't be more
specific. For those senior IT managers who are the 'privileged users,'
meaning system administrators, 'there is certainly more scrutiny on you,'
Tarasiuk says. 'It's interesting: there's so much scrutiny that a normal
person might not want to put up with that. But it's part of the
mission.'"

[0]jfruhlinger writes "A victory, or a just a breather? The U.S. House of
Representatives Judiciary Committee has [1]postponed further debate on
the controversial Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) until after Congress'
holiday break. At the urging of some SOPA opponents, Representative Lamar
Smith, a Texas Republican and committee chairman, said Friday he will
consider a hearing or a classified briefing on the bill's impact on
cybersecurity." Update: 12/17 04:28 GMT by [2]T : "Or not," as an
anonymous reader comments below. "Despite the fact that Congress was
supposed to be out of session until the end of January, the Judiciary
Committee has just [3]announced plans to come back to continue the markup
this coming Wednesday. This is rather unusual and totally unnecessary.
But it shows just how desperate Hollywood is to pass this bill as quickly
as possible, before the momentum of opposition builds up even further."

coolers have been positioned as high-end alternatives to traditional
heatsink and fan combinations. This has been particularly true in the
boutique and high-end PC market, where a number of manufacturers now
offer liquid coolers in one form or another. These kits are a far cry
from the water coolers enthusiasts have been building for years. DIY
water coolers typically involve separate reservoirs and external pumps.
The [1]systems tested here, including Intel's OEM cooler that was
released with their [2]Sandy Bridge-E CPU, contain significantly less
fluid and use small pumps directly integrated into the cooling block as a
self-contained solution. Integrated all-in-one kits may not offer the
theoretical performance of a high-end home-built system, but they're
vastly easier to install and require virtually no maintenance. The
tradeoffs are more than fair, provided that the coolers perform as
advertised."

globally using the technology less likely, according to industry
organization GSM Association's research arm. Wireless Intelligence
predicts there will be 38 different spectrum frequency combinations used
in LTE deployments by 2015, thanks to ongoing spectrum auctions, license
renewals and reallocation initiatives across a wide range of frequency
bands. The number of combinations means economies of scale won't be as
good and prices won't come down as much as they could if fewer spectrum
bands were used as volumes increase, Joss Gillet, a senior analyst for
Wireless Intelligence."
