Wanted: Female Game Testers
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/10/11/0150201
[0]BaronVonDuvet writes "The [1]BBC is covering [2]this story regarding
the lack of female testers for the new Tomb Raider game. Given that
there are a number of female gamers (admittedly far fewer than male
gamers) why are they having so many problems finding women? Is this a
sign that the female gaming market has never really taken off? Is the
way men and women approach a game really that different? Are they
really interested in finding women testers or is the whole thing a
publicity stunt? If you're an interested woman maybe you should get in
touch."

Live-Action Remake of Akira

[0]GusherJizmac writes "Looks like Warner Bros. is looking to remake
classic anime, Akira, as a [1]live action feature-length film. Will
current computer generated special effects be enough to bring this
masterpiece to life?" We [2]touched on this earlier, but now it looks
closer to production, since Norrington has finished shooting for The
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

large potion of computer gamers are over 35. This actually makes sense,
since many of them began gaming in the 70's. A short and
semi-interesting read."

photos from the Eldred / Lessig Supreme Court appearance, a denial from
Microsoft that the company is planning to charge customers extra for

second career? How about finally getting that medical degree you've
been putting off? A group of more than 50 schools in 16 countries are
working to create an [0]online medical school, in part to combat the
"brain drain" that occurs when medical students go abroad for their
education but do not return later. ... Organizers said that because
degrees would be granted by individual participating schools, all of
which are accredited, students should not have to worry about
accreditation problems."

New SecuROM Ties Protection to Physical Structure
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/10/10/2121216
[0]bernardos70 writes "I read a brief article describing how the new
version of [1]secuROM, which is already present in newer games, employs
[2]a new encryption method which 'tie[s] itself specifically to the
physical structure and characteristics of each disk'. Apparently
companies are even ordering specially designed media to implement this
method. I think that all this will do is frustrate the average joe
trying to make legit copies, as the various groups online distributing
ISO's are sure to find a way to bypass yet this new technology."

Portable Scanner Solutions for Research?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/10/10/1921233
[0]Fished asks: "Lately, I'm finding that I need to do a lot of
research in Libraries -- remember those? I'm tired of feeding dimes to
the copiers, and would like to buy some kind of portable scanner to go
with my Powerbook. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find one that will
work. Back in the eighties, this were as common as dirt: they were
small, four inch wide scanners that you could run over the page. Also,
while I've found three portable scanners for PC's (from Antec and
Pentax) even if I could somehow get them to work with Mac OS X, they
are sheet-fed, which is useless for scanning pages out of books. Does
anyone still make the old-fashioned Hand Scanners, and do they make
them for Macs?"

FCC Approves Digital Radio, Kills Satellite Merger

n8willis writes "...Just saw [0]this AP article on Excite news: the FCC
has just approved the first upgrade in broadcast radio technology in
decades. It allows "CD quality" digital signals to be simulcast by
stations along with their traditional analog feed. The tech comes from
some company called [1]iBiquity, and unlike Sirius or XM satellite
radio, there will be no charge for listening. Some radio buff want to
tell us what they know about this concept?" And wiredog writes "The
Federal Communications Commission has voted 4-0 to [2]reject a $26
billion merger between satellite TV providers Echostar Communications

EBay Letting Fraud Slide?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/10/10/1346223
joebagodonuts writes "MSNBC has [0]an article charging that EBayÂs
tough talk on fraud is just that. Talk." To a certain extent, I can
understand the problem of having hundreds of thousands of auctions, and
not being able to adequately police them - but ignoring fraud, when you
have a policy stating otherwise is a Bad Thing.

Slashcode
UBB & Blogger conversion scripts TO Slash
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/10/10/1835206
I have a large website that I am about to change to be Slash-based, but
I have a truckload (800+) users already registered to my UBB
installation. Is there an off-the-shelf script to create them as
slash-users ? (same username / password) Also any other scripts to move
the UBB topics to slash-format ? (I read the article here already) I
also have a bunch of blogger blogs - is there a tool to migrate those
posts to slash also. (I did a heap of looking around all over but
couldn't find anything)

Instant Karma
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/10/10/025233
I'm trying to figure out where exactly Karma comes from. This may seem
like a stupid question, but is there a direct one-to-one correlation
between moderation points and karma points? If a comment receives a +1
moderation, does that give the poster +1 Karma? I know there are other
factors (submission_bonus, goodkarma, badkarma, etc...), but this is
the one part I'm not sure about...
Slash and Bugzilla in harmony?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/10/09/1519247

fine so far. But I'm confused about the next step. The INSTALL file
doesn't mention needing to run install-slashsite as part of the "Slash
2.2.x -> Slash 2.2.y" section, so I thought maybe I didn't need to.
But it mentions that my template customizations will likely have been
overwritten by the install process, and gives instructions on how to
deal with that, and at least in the steps I've performed so far, that
hasn't happened. My modified templates are still showing up on the
site. Which makes me think I haven't done something important, and
running install-slashsite is my best guess as to what that might be.
install troubles

Just trying to get some slashcode going and all looked well. Started
apache, and get the following in the error log [Sat Oct 5 09:06:42
2002] [error] Undefined subroutine
&Slash::Apache::User::userdir_handler::handler called. [Sat Oct 5
09:06:42 2002] [error] Undefined subroutine
&Slash::Apache::Log::handler called. I tried to install
Slash::Apache, but to no avail, getting the following error on make
test Can't load '../blib/arch/auto/Slash/Apache/Apache.so' for module
Slash::Apache: ../blib/arch/auto/Slash/Apache/Apache.so: undefined

/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i686-linux/DynaLoader.p m line 206. I am
running Apache 1.3.19 and red hat 7.1. I know both are sort of old, but
I will shortly switch to my new box. Thanks
Slash on a VPS (Virtual Private Server)
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/10/04/069222
Does anyone have experience running Slash on a VPS. I use one of these
Virtual Private Servers (running FreeBSD) that companies like Verio,
Interland and many others offer. You have what might be called 'virtual
root'.
Time stamp on blog site
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/10/04/067251
The time stamp on my submissions is 6 hours in the future. How do I
correct this problem? Is this in the safe_mysql script where I set the
TZ=GMT? Please help as having the correct time on the posts is critical
to the success of this site as it contains time sensitive information.
Also, how do I prevent postings to the site from users that do not have
an account?
Displaying multiple categories on home page?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/10/01/2037208
I'm sorry if I've missed something here, but I've just set up a slash
site, and can't quite figure out how to get my home page to work like I
want: My goal is to deploy a slash site internally where I work, with
sections for the various groups on our project; R&D, CM, QA,
marketing, etc. Then, each group can have "private" articles in their
own section, and then front-page anything that would be of interest to
everyone else (a new customer, major feature, reached a milestone,
etc). As far as I can tell, however, right now, R&D guys would have
to explicitly check both the R&D section, and the main section.
Convincing people to regularly hit one web page will be hard enough;
getting them to frequent two will be near impossible. The closest I can
find to what I want is the "Collapse Sections" option, but in that
case, R&D would be forced to see all the marketting drudge, and
vice versa. You can blacklist certain categories, but then it defeats
the whole purpose of doing this. Is there something I'm just being
dense and missing?
