Russia goes OpenSource; all schools running Linux by 2009

ANT Censuses of the Internet Address Space
The figure [...] shows our map of the allocated address space. They layout follows Randall Munroe's hand-drawn map of allocated Internet address blocks from xkcd #195. We convert the one-dimensional, 32-bit addresses into two dimensions using a Hilbert Curve, as shown to the right. This curve keeps adjacent addresses physically near each other, and it is fractal, so we can zoom in or out to control detail.http://www.isi.edu/ant/address/index.html
OpenOffice.org 2.3: New features, extensions and the much anticipated new charting tool
"Unlike previous 2.x releases, OpenOffice.org 2.3 is a new and enhanced feature release rather than a bug fix.
