Top Ten Physics Experiments Of All Times
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/09/25/0256200
MarkedMan writes "The New York Times is running [0]an article about the
top ten physics experiments of all time. You may disagree with the
order, but it is hard to imagine pulling any one of these from the top
ten. And most of them could be done by a patient amateur, at least one
with access to cannonballs." The Times article wraps up the work by
Robert P. Crease [1]mentioned a few weeks ago.

Microsoft Buys Rare
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/09/25/0054246
[0]Phwoar writes "Microsoft have [1]announced their buyout of the games
developer [2]Rare. After a $375 million payoff Rare will now produce
games solely for the Xbox. After Rare's recent releases for the
Nintendo systems bombed, Nintendo decided to sell their 49% stake in
the company last week rather than buy the company themselves. [3]Google
News has a [4]nice collection of links to articles regarding the
announcement." You might be reminded of Microsoft's [5]purchase of
Bungie a few years ago.

Linux At The BBC [updated]
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/09/24/2040257
[0]KobyBoy writes "Damion Yates wrote a very nice and informative
article about [1]how the BBC is using Linux. Linux is quite widespread
in their in-house server environment, their development environment and
of course in their production environment. He even mentions the
excellent support Donald Becker (from Linux NIC card support fame) has
provided him." Update: 09/24 21:54 GMT by [2]T: Whoops -- this article
is pretty old. Make that, the BBC is still using Linux.

Lego Addictions
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/09/24/1656216
[0]randomErr writes "[1]Canada.com has an article about Frank Robinson,
an man who is [2]into Lego WAY more than the average builder. Frank
said "I still get Lego for my birthday and at Christmas, too. So do my
kids." At last count the Robinson family's Lego inventory was nearing
100,000 pieces, a majority of which were tallied and itemized by type
and colour on a computer spreadsheet." No Lego story would be complete
without a link to something large and useless, say, a [3]Lego
harpsichord. Okay, it plays, so it's not actually useless. But the
[4]Lego Star Destroyer is.

PCs Losing Out as a Gaming Platform?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/09/24/1749221
[0]Snibor Eoj writes "The Boston Globe Online has an article by
Hiawatha Bray discussing the [1]state of gaming on PCs and consoles. He
points out that PC users now suffer the same fate as Mac users have for
years, that of waiting for a great game that's already out on another
platform. Consoles continue to gain market share, and software
companies are noticing that and writing more and earlier for consoles
than for PCs."

because xinetd does not require that the services in its configuration
file be listed in /etc/services. It can do access control on all
services based on the address of the remote host, time of access,
connection attempts, or process limits. Access control works on all
services, whether multi-threaded or single-threaded and for both the
TCP and UDP protocols. xinetd supports both internal access control,

ziproxy 1.1
http://freshmeat.net/releases/98250/
ziproxy is a forwarding (non-caching) proxy that gzips text and HTML
files, and reduces the size of images by converting them to low quality
JPEGs. It is intended to increase the speed for dial-up Internet
connections. Most browsers support gzipped content, so Web pages appear
as normal, but as they are only a fraction of their original page size,
pages are much quicker to load. Even for browsers that don't support
it, hints how to overcome it using SSH port forwarding are included.
Images are reduced in size by an average of one third, with only
marginal visible image quality loss. It should be used with
inetd/xinetd, but if you can't use them, a simple replacement
"netd" is provided.
ZoneMinder 0.01
http://freshmeat.net/releases/98267/
ZoneMinder is a set of applications which allow you to capture,
analyze, record, and monitor the video data coming from any cameras
attached to a Linux system. It features a user-friendly Web interface
which allows you to view, archive, review, and delete images captured
by the cameras. The image analysis system is highly configurable,
allowing you to retain desired images, while eliminating false
positives. ZoneMinder allows you to define a set of 'zones' of varying
sensitivity and functionality for each camera. This allows you to
eliminate regions which you don't wish to track or define areas which
will alarm if various thresholds are exceeded in conjunction with other
zones.
ZynAddSubFX 1.0.0
http://freshmeat.net/releases/98244/
ZynAddSubFX is a powerful real-time, multi- timbral software
synthesizer for Linux. It has microtonal capabilities, and the

part of the structure puzzles me: uid - moderator uid val - ?? sid -
Story ID? (or discussion id?) ts - ?? cid - comment id cuid - uid of
the comment poster (??) reason - mod reason ("offtopic", etc.) active -
?? m2count - number of metamods on this mod? If anyone has some insight

Comment Color Coding Code Complete
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/09/18/0459236
I have just submitted a patch that allows for the color coding of
comments based on "freshness". Using a cookie set by article.pl and
read by comments.pl the template makes the color of the table cell
behind the comment subject one color if the comment was there the last
time the user viewed the page and another color if the comment is new
to that user. (note that this is being done on a site locked into
Nested view, so every comment is visible and in a table box). This was
not as easy as I thought it would be, and I would like to acknowledge
the efforts of the entire team of people I work with [
http://openflows.org ], as well important advice and help that was
provided by Jamie in #slash and members of the slashcode-general
mailing list. You can see the code in action at

Upcoming XHTML/Accessibility Slash theme
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/09/17/2237203
I'm working on a theme based on the slashcode theme from CVS. The main
goal with this theme is making Slash (more) accessible, usable and
comply with the W3C's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0. This
includes: Make Slash valid XHTML 1.1 Control layout with a external
style-sheet ( should be valid Cascading Style Sheets, level 2 ) Remove
all tables that are used for design Use <th> tags in all tables
Add the <label> tag to all form labels use <h1>..<h6>
to add structure to pages, not to get larger fonts add <abbr> and
<acronym> tags where needed Remove light mode, since it won't be
needed anymore I hope that I can finish this and do a first release
real soon. This will also include a more complete list of changes.
Since many of the Slashcode.com users have their own Slash sites, it
would be interesting to hear if someone has some experience in making
Slash more accessible / usable that they are willing to share. Any
questions about the theme should be added as comment to this story
and/or mailed directly to me.

Daylight Savings Time
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/09/10/1915232
I run a (relatively) large internal Slash site at my company. The user
base is pretty far flung, with people accessing and posting from the
western, central and eastern US timezones, as well as overseas
(BST/GMT). I did manage to get everyone to set up their timezones
appropriately once user accounts are created. The problem is long term
maintenance of these zones, as daylight savings time comes and goes.
How do other sites with geographically diverse readerships deal with
the DST problem? Is there a script I can run, or am I missing something
here?
