What?s most interesting is that everyone interviewed pretty much said the same thing: It's nice to provide something of real value to customers who are actually happy to trade money for goods, even if it's just dessert.

[1]s1m0ne is an upcoming movie those story is about a guy who secretly creates a real-looking digital character who become famous overnight. Eventually, it will become more cost-effective to produce whole movies on computer as a standard. And when the technology and costs permits, non-scifi TV shows with an all-digital cast(fully copyrighted of course) will come forth. But the real main issue is: If this takes off, what will happen to all the people like the background characters, costume makers, construction, caterers, cameramen, model makers, casting companies, etc." Links 0. http://www.wired.com/news/digiwood/0,1412,54329,00.html 1. http://www.s1m0ne.com/ Turning Dead Drives into Speakers? http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/08/11/1445214 An anonymous reader writes "Why pay 500$ for Klipsch's latest speaker system?

Similar stories (which don't require RealAudio) are [4]here and [5] here. The American Librarian Association is [6]providing information for librarians to help deal with this, and it seems heavily tilted towards supporting individuals' rights to privacy. It seems like the Slashdot crowd could come up with a great library computer setup that would protect anonymity (I'm thinking about things like creating a RAM disk and loading the OS onto it). How about ways to enable people to borrow books anonymously without opening the door to large-scale theft? I bet if we offered a packaged, free, easy to install Safe Browsing computer or Anonymous Checkout program, libraries across the U.S. would enthusiastically embrace it." According to the articles, these checks can be made for any reason, not just for suspected terrorism. It seems that if the American people are going to protect their rights, they are going to have to do so actively. Is the idea presented above, feasible? How would you improve upon it?

In another article CBS MarketWatch [1] reports that IBM and RedHat/Dell will also be making major announcements." It'll at least be interesting this year with Microsoft having a booth. I'll be there as usual, but without a booth, so maybe we can russle up a party somewhere for Wed night? Anyone know a good place? Perhaps that serves Guinness & Bodingtons? Also, go see the Golden Penguin Bowl since I'm a contestant this year and will undoubtedly embarass myself terribly.

It utilizes alpha-beta pruning and minimax searching to find the number of tricks a given side can take under the assumption of optimal play. While the complexity of the problem may be enormous depending on the given deal and contract, cddsolve is fast enough to be actually helpfull for many double dummy bridge problems. GRAB 1.0.4 http://freshmeat.net/releases/93567/ GRAB (Greg's RPM Application Builder) adds functionality and ease-of-use to RPM, by allowing a user to search through a collection of RPMs on various FTP servers (given in a configuration file), and download and install all in one action. It can perform system upgrades, and display all packages that are "outdated". It also has the ability to be run through cron, to automatically upgrade all packages (except ones defined in a skip list) that are available. This project began to provide similiar functionality to RPM based distros as apt-get (Debian package tool). Apt has since been ported to RPM. GRAB's functionality now is still fairly similar, but also provides additional features that makes it easier to use and more intuitive. It can also work with any FTP server, as opposed to a specifically configured RPM repository server. GRAN PM 1.6 http://freshmeat.net/releases/93584/ GRAN PM is Web-based project management software, which includes a task management system, bug tracking software, and employee timesheet tracking. It makes it easy to identify program bugs and enhancements, identify important items that need to be brought to the attention of management, detect resource conflicts and scheduling problems, and provide clear reports on the status of all projects and tasks. Hibernate 1.1 beta 4 http://freshmeat.net/releases/93569/ Hibernate is a powerful, high performance object/relational persistence and query service for Java. It lets you develop persistent objects following common Java idiom, including composition, association, inheritance, polymorphism, and the Java collections framework. To allow a rapid build procedure, Hibernate rejects the use of code generation or bytecode processing. Instead, runtime reflection is used and SQL generation occurs at system startup time. It supports Oracle, DB2, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Sybase, Interbase, Microsoft SQL Server, Mckoi SQL, Progress, SAP DB, and HypersonicSQL. HTML_ToPDF 2.0 http://freshmeat.net/releases/93563/ HTML_ToPDF takes the hassle out of generating a PDF file from a Web page. It will convert any HTML document into a format that will look the same on any platform and printer. It includes support for converting images, using the stylesheets to customize the look of the PDF file, and error handling. JettyJonas 1.1 http://freshmeat.net/releases/93539/ JettyJonas is an integration of the Jonas EJB container from Objectweb and the Jetty HTTP container from Mort Bay Inc. It replaces the default Tomcat integration in the Jonas project. kachelmann 0.10 http://freshmeat.net/releases/93579/ kachelmann (English for tileman) is a Java/Swing application that allows a user to draw simple diagrams, especially genograms, easily from icons. Besides its own format, output can be produced in JPEG and HTML format. Lemonade 0.4.0 http://freshmeat.net/releases/93580/ Lemonade is a basic content management system. It allows users to post and edit news items in a very simple way. It accepts raw HTML as input, so you can use all your favourite tags for formatting (including other languages, like PHP, ASP, etc.). LUFS Userland Filesystem 0.4.1 http://freshmeat.net/releases/93590/ LUFS is a hybrid userspace filesystem framework supporting an indefinite number of filesystems (localfs, sshfs, ftpfs, httpfs, socketfs, freenetfs, and nutellafs) transparently for any application. It can be regarded as doing the same job as the VFS (virtual filesystem switch) in the kernel: it is a switch, distributing the filesystem calls to its supported filesystems. However, LUFS filesystems are implemented in userspace. This would be a drawback for local filesystems where the access speed is important, but proves to be a huge advantage for networked filesystems where the userland flexibility is most important. mkwav 1.0 http://freshmeat.net/releases/93562/ mkwav provides quick and easy MP3 conversion and burning with pretty dialog interfaces for console and X using dialog/Xdialog. It is written in bash. Mod_Survey 3.0.15-pre2 (3.0.x-testing) http://freshmeat.net/releases/93582/ Mod_survey is an Apache mod_perl module which allows users to create their own Web questionnaires using an XML-based tag notation. It supports exporting of data into several file formats, including SPSS syntax, semi-colon delimited fields, and SQL script. It also provides limited support for descriptive statistics of the submitted data, and stylesheet customizations of layout. MythTV 0.4 http://freshmeat.net/releases/93564/ MythTV is a project aiming to create a homebrew set-top box. The end goal is to have a nice interface for watching TV, recording shows, listening to music, etc., all displayed on a TV and controlled by a remote. OATS 2.0.3 http://freshmeat.net/releases/93565/ OATS (Online Automated Timecard System) is a multi-user online timecard system written in PHP/MySQL. It allows users to input their hours and then print their hours out at the end of the time period (in PDF/HTML/text format). It also has support for creating a template if the user works the same hours every week. After submitting his/her timecard, the user can start a new timecard, and the old one is archived. The data is all stored in MySQL, and there is support for three authentication methods: database, IMAP, and POP3. It has a well-developed administration center to make it easy to log in as another user, clean out tables, and update the FAQ. SPCA50X USB Camera Linux Driver 0.2 (Development) http://freshmeat.net/releases/93588/ The SPCA50X USB Camera Linux Driver is a stand-alone kernel module which adds support for USB cameras based on the SPCA50x series of chips. Such cameras include the Intel PC Camera Pro and the Intel Create and Share, along with other cameras from Viewquest Technologies. The driver supports moving colour video from the Intel PC Camera Pro (SPCA505). The Kiwi Toolkit 1.3.4 http://freshmeat.net/releases/93583/ The Kiwi Toolkit is a foundation class library containing many useful classes that complement the Java Foundation Classes (JFC). It includes many classes and components that were not provided with the JFC, such as a TreeTable component, a DateChooser, an MVC charting package (bar charts, line charts, pie charts), a plugin framework for Java, an application resource manager (for loading images, icons, HTML pages, audio clips, and other resources from JAR files), a better internationalization API, and much more. Timo's Rescue CD Set 0.9.2 http://freshmeat.net/releases/93573/ Timo's rescue CD set provides an easy way to generate bootable CDROMs with a ready-to-use rescue system on them. The system is designed to be fully customizable and easy to build. The rescue system includes reiserfs, parted, partimage, nmap, w3m, bash, sshd, telnetd, ftpd, and nfsd. It is based on Debian's "woody" release. LILO, syslinux, isolinux, and GRUB are supported. The project is evolving more and more into a "Debian on CD" project, which means that its use is not limited to a rescue CD; it is also possible to install a whole Debian system on CD. Todo setup tool 1.04 http://freshmeat.net/releases/93581/ Todo setup tool is a utility to configure keyboard, mouse, and window manager for X11. It is designed for Slackware 7.0, but it should run also in other distributions. Tonto 1.28 (Main) http://freshmeat.net/releases/93533/ Tonto is a developer-oriented companion to the popular Pronto line of programmable remotes made by Philips. Tonto provides both an IDE GUI and a Java API for editing CCF files. TR-IRCD 5.0-rc4 (Development) http://freshmeat.net/releases/93589/ TR-IRCD is an ircd and a collection of services programs for IRC networks. The ircd is heavily influenced by ircd-hybrid and Bahamut. It includes support for IRC extensions such as md5-encrypted hostnames, local channels, and autokill exclusions, modules for commands, different protocols, channel modes, and languages. It supports IPv6 and many different architectures. Warewulf 0.9 http://freshmeat.net/releases/93568/ Warewulf is presently a distribution builder for the slave nodes in a cluster. The filesystem is written to a bootable ISO image that should be burned to a CDROM. The scope of the project consists of the slave node distribution builder, cluster management tools, and basic monitoring tools. These tools will allow you to run any Linux distribution, kernel, or cluster libraries that you wish. It also allows one to create "temporary" clusters using workstations without writing anything to the disks. x10bot Home Automation Daemon 1.10 http://freshmeat.net/releases/93561/ x10bot is a home automation daemon for the x10 CM11A appliance controller and accessories under Linux. It quietly listens to the x10 CM11A and executes TCL commands and scripts when events happen. x10bot also provides for remote telnet access to send and/or monitor events. Slashcode Theme addition 'include_theme' http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/08/09/0650236 In CVS there is a new addition to the THEME file syntax. You can now choose to add an included theme. This allows you too easily create a theme with just your changed templates (yet still pick up fixes to the templates you don't customize). If you base your site off of the "slashcode" theme just add to your theme file: include_theme=slashcode If this is for a site that already exists make sure you add this information to the site_info table. Invalid command 'PerlHandler' http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/08/07/2319210 Hi all, I come already the two days trying to install the Slash in two machines with Mandrake.. I followed all the steps of the installation manual, however I have received, when initiating the apache with the INCLUDE of slash.conf this error: ---- Syntax error on line 6 of /etc/httpd/conf/slash.conf: Invalid command 'PerlHandler', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration. -- I'm checked lists and installed File-Spec with: "install RBS/File-Spec-0.82.tar.gz"... Without this configuration Apache works fine! Help me please! Image and File Uploads? http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/08/06/0531259 Is/will there be a plugin to allow slash to be able to upload files and images? Something like what Moveabletype has? Slashcode login hangs http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/08/05/199233 Have the lastest Slash codebase running. However, when a user attempts to log in with a correct password, the page just sits there--the IE icon twirls mysteriously, as if connection was being made, but no return. Conversely, if the enter a valid username, but invalid password, the page return is immediate, with a message that either the username or password was incorrect. Any assistance...etc. --Hieronymous Coward Install Slash For Dummies - failing on final step http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/08/04/0626227 I was successful with every step of the "Install Slash For Dummies" instructions, but then failed on the final step when starting slash: [root@dedicated init.d]# ./slash start Starting slashd virtslash: ok PID = 28526 [root@dedicated init.d]# This account is currently not available. Does anyone have any ideas how to troubleshoot? I've looked through the docs and can't find anything... Slash installation in one step? http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/08/03/0750238 I think Slash installation is simple and clear, but also, it's manual. There must would be an automatic installation procedure. I'm thinking in a Perl script based on a response file or similar that installs Slash components (Apache, mod_perl, MySQL, Bundle::Slash and Slash itself) all in one step. Of course, you have previously to wite the responses to interactive questions that will be formulated during installation process. This response file may act as your 'Slash based settings for your site'. Also, the Perl script may write an 'installation log' during its execution. Could not determine the server's FQDN http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/08/02/0514248 This is probably something stupid I did, but I can't figure out what it is. After installing Slash without error, I try to start Apache via "apachectl start" and I get the following error: "[alert] httpd: Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName" I have a DNS server running and the FQDN I used in the slash install *does* resolve. All I get if I try to access the site is the default Apache test page. Anyone got any suggestions? Thanks. SlashCode on Apache2+ModPerl 2 http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/08/02/0513259 I have installed Apache 2.0.39 with ModPerl 1.99_04. Now I want to install slashcode on it, but libapreq-1.0 doesn't installs because, I think, libapreq need ModPerl 1.3.xx. Someone installed successfully SlashCode on apache2? How? Thanks a lot. Starting out: Bundle or Current Release? http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/08/01/0511244 I'm interested in implementing slashcode but although I have a Unix background I'm new to the world of Linux and open source development. I noticed that Bundle-Slash is listed as version 2.13 (last updated last September),whereas slash 2.2.6 is current as of this month. My question is this: do I need to download and install the bundle first to provide some sort of base, or if I install the individual components (Apache, mod_perl, etc.) as directed can skip the bundle and just install 2.2.6? Thanks in advance. Slash DB ERD Please? http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/07/31/0011217 Does anyone have an updated ERD of the Slash DB (preferably the MySQL version, but I'm not picky), from a working site? The one that comes with the docs not only makes very little sense visually, but doesn't match the tables created by the init scripts (some tables are missing from the script, others from the ERD). Any additional documentation on the DB structure for Slash would also be greatly appreciated.
