zdnet.com/Murphy: All three of the main OS candidates: MacOS X, Novell’s “Sousa Linicks” and Microsoft’s Windows Vista run on pretty much the same hardware and run broadly comparable applications suites, so the decision must ultimately come down to which one best balances cost versus productivity in your applications area.

Submitted by srlinuxx on Tuesday 21st of October 2008 05:01:18 PM Filed under

Four password lockers that can help you keep your Web logins secure
Submitted by srlinuxx on Tuesday 21st of October 2008 03:10:46 PM Filed under
linux.com: It is good practice to use a different password for each Web site you need to log in to. Good passwords tend to be long and contain a wide selection of characters. That can make remembering all your passwords difficult. But you can make things easier on yourself by storing passwords for various Web sites in an encrypted file on your computer.

Submitted by srlinuxx on Tuesday 21st of October 2008 03:09:45 PM Filed under

Submitted by srlinuxx on Tuesday 21st of October 2008 03:08:14 PM Filed under

opera.com: Hot on the heels of 9.60, we had to release Opera 9.61 to address problems in Opera Link. Alone, each issue we discovered was miniscule and shouldn't have caused any problems, but together, and coupled with some server issues, it turned out to be more serious than we thought.

Submitted by L on Tuesday 21st of October 2008 05:35:51 AMImagine that your football team wins the championship the last years and it has completely crashed all competition.
