Screensaver Bug in Mac OS X

VoIP Booming in Africa
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/07/05/1737221
[0]securitas writes "The NY Times reports on the [1]rapid growth of
voice-over-IP telephony (VoIP) in sub-Saharan Africa and the battles it
is waging with the government monopolies/ILECs. VoIP upstarts are
taking market share from the government telcos, making it vastly more
affordable to make a phone call since they don't charge the usual
exorbitant tariffs and excessive user fees. Governments have responded
by shutting down these operations, seizing equipment and cutting off
service to lines they suspect of using Internet telephony. Part of the
boom is related to the wait times for getting a phone line (Ghana
Telecom has a backlog of 300,000 line requests), poor quality of
service (50% of time you get a busy signal instead of a dial-tone) plus
the willingness to trade voice quality for basic service. Foreign
companies are now setting up VoIP call centers and multinationals like
[2]gold giant Newmont Mining plan to use VoIP for communications in and
out of Africa. Some observers call Accra the next Bangalore, predicting
a boom for the region that may make sub-Saharan Africa a major
technology hub. This fits nicely with [3]Kofi Annan's drive to use the
Internet and [4]wireless networks to change the lives of the poor."

Shackleford writes "[0]SecurityFocus has an article saying that two

two of its commercial 'AirDefense Guard' sensors at opposite corners of
the exhibit hall at the Boston World Trade Center, the site of the
conference, and for two days analyzed the traffic flowing between
conference-goers and 141 unencrypted access points set up by the
conference for public use, and by vendors on the floor. What they found
was that users checking their e-mail through unencrypted POP
connections vastly outnumbered those using a VPN or another encrypted
tunnel. Only three percent of e-mail downloads were encrypted on the
first day of the conference, 12 percent on the second day."

Dear Microsoft resellers: It's time to look at Linux
http://newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/06/30/2322205
- By Robin 'Roblimo' Miller - We've been seeing stories lately
indicating that Microsoft is beefing up its direct sales staff and
relying less on independent resellers. If you're one of those
resellers, it looks like it's time for you to start offering Linux and
Free/Open Source solutions in addition to the Windows-based ones on
which you've based your business in the past, if only in self-defense.
Chances are, you and your clients will like ...
Fight spam with the DNS, not the CIA
http://newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/07/02/0347225
- by John Fitzgibbon - It seems like spam is in the news every day
lately, and frankly, some of the proposed solutions seem either
completely hare-brained or worse than the problem itself. I'd like to
reiterate a relatively modest proposal I first made over a year ago:
Require legitimate DNS MX records for all outbound email servers.

An interview with lunar-linux developer Auke Kok

Q. Please tell us why Lunar Linux became your distribution of choice?
A. About a year and a half ago I had gone through several distributions

sql++ 0.10
http://freshmeat.net/releases/128324/
sql++ is an easily configurable, feature-rich, portable command-line
SQL tool. It can be used with many different databases and in place of
other commandline tools such as MySQL's mysql-client, PostgreSQL's
psql, and Oracle's sqlplus. It has features such as multiple
connections, multi-database interfacing, subselects for all databases,
regardless of whether the database has native subselects or not, and
much more.
SQLObject 0.4
http://freshmeat.net/releases/128318/
SQLObject is an object-relational mapper that acts as a database and
SQL wrapper for Python 2.2 and MySQL or PostgreSQL. It allows you to
translate RDBMS table rows into Python objects, and manipulate those
objects to transparently manipulate the database.

compatibility with any platform. It features a clean, tabbed interface,

Tunez 1.15
http://freshmeat.net/releases/128336/
Tunez is an MP3/Ogg jukebox that works with a voting system. You can
vote for your favorite tracks via the Web interface, and the Tunez
daemon will take care of the rest. Tunez features a 'smart' songs
database update system, a top 10 list of most played songs, support for
multiple users, and support for streaming via Icecast v1 (with shout)
or Icecast v2 (with ices-0.2.3).
WindowLab 1.11
http://freshmeat.net/releases/128352/
WindowLab is a small and simple window manager of novel design. It is
click-to-focus, shares its window depth policy with the Amiga, and has
a window resizing/reshaping method similar to that of 8-1/2 from Plan
9. It maintains the illusion of direct manipulation by constraining the
mouse pointer when appropriate (i.e., when a window cannot be dragged
any further in one direction). The pointer is also constrained
vertically (effectively making the target menu items infinitely tall
according to Fitts's law) when it is in the menubar to reduce pointing
time.
