mcleland lets us in on a Wall Street Journal story about two cold-war era, formerly top-secret vessels the US Navy is trying to give away. At issue are the Sea Shadow (the ancestor of all modern naval radar-evading technology) and the Hughes Mining Barge (a floating dry-dock and more-or-less base for the Sea Shadow). While the ships are being ‘given away,’ there are multiple regulations involved, making the gift a very costly one. “A Naval Museum is ‘a bloodthirsty, paper-work ridden, permit-infested, money-sucking hole,’ warns the Historic Naval Ships Association.

nerdyH sends us to LinuxDevices for a description of a tiny Linux device called the Marvell SheevaPlug. “A 0 Linux wall wart could do to servers what netbooks did to notebooks.

I/O includes USB 2.0, gigabit Ethernet, while expansion is provided via an SDIO slot. The power draw is a nightlight-like 5 Watts. Marvell says it plans to give Linux developers everything they need to deliver ‘disruptive’ services on the device.” The article links four products built on the SheevaPlug, none of them shipping quite yet. The development kit is available from Marvell.
