Words!

Quite busy today. About half a dozen stories. Here are those published so far...

• Saudi Arabia plans its own supercomputer
• Mozilla wants to publish users' browsing data
• Dell launches a cut-down Linux version of its netbook

A few more should work their way through tomorrow.

Question: are you curious enough to want me to post this stuff, or only when it's feature-length stuff I've written myself, or not at all? There weren't many comments to last week's link...

Error message of the day

Found on /. in response to a page about humorous errors, someone came up with this, quite genuine, Micros~1 error message:

Your password must be at least 18770 characters and cannot repeat any of your previous 30689 passwords. Please type a different password. Type a password that meets these requirements in both text boxes.

And people say Linux isn't friendly enough. Go on, then, type that twice, accurately. When all you can see is asterisks. Wheeee!
