small group

Last year, we reported on an attempt to ban Facebook throughout all of Pakistan, due to a group on the site that some Muslims found offensive (the group was supporting an "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day!" following a controversy on that subject).

It seemed positively silly to ban an entire site based on how one small group of people used that site, but we've seen it happen in a number of countries.

Stop: "Banks are important. The world economic crisis is due for a good part to insufficient transparency in banks.

Wikileaks next document drop may target banks. And a small group of activists is trying to solve those bank problems in a (Open Source) way that may make Wikileaks less necessary."

Linux Magazine: "Ubuntu has played a large role in the rise in popularity of Linux, but it's not everyone's cup of tea.

If you don't like it, change it. And that's exactly what a small group of Linux loving hackers are doing.

Meet, elementary."

Wired: "A small group of programmers plans to breathe new life into the Napster-spawned OpenNap protocol that was designed to help dejected music fans share files using similar technology after the official Napster servers blinked off."

As technology evolves, it's often worth re-thinking how we do things. A small group of engineers is doing just that for MySQL.

Tech-no-media: "A few days ago I reviewed what is in my opinion the easiest Linux distribution for Windows switchers: Linux Mint 7.0 The small group of talented people that manage this distribution is led by Clem, the "founder" of Linux Mint.

Today he was kind enough to grant me an email interview as a follow up to my review."

Although the IEEE 802.11n specification is still a year or more away from release, a small group of engineers is already moving ahead to the next generation of wireless networking.

The goal? Gigabit Wi-Fi, to match the wired gigabit Ethernet links of today's PCs.
