tomorrow gives some details about the new PowerPC processor that IBM
and Apple have been working together on; the chip is slated to be
introduced at the end of next year. The introduction of this chip

Dreamcast Modem Is Reverse Engineered

00_NOP writes "The hobbyist's favourite console - the [0]Dreamcast -

difficult for those on the active [2]DC development scene to use. But
now all that is about to change. Thanks to a [3] find on the internet
and some heavy duty hacking - real modem support is [4]almost here.
This is fantastic news for the [5]Linux and the [6]NetBSD teams and for
*nix advocates everywhere - as immediately millions more people could
access these OSes and use them in a meaningful way to get online etc.
Don't forget - four million plus of these things were sold in North

Which Coding Framework for Mac OS X ?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/10/12/1951256
[0]DrStrangeLoop asks: "I am in the progress of getting into coding for
Mac OS X, and I am wondering which GUI framework/language i should
focus on. Apparantly, there are at least three options: the Cocoa
Objective-C API [I don't want to learn Objective-c, but it seems that's
how Apple wants me to code], the Cocoa Java API [gets compiled to PPC
binaries, lots of APIs available [think Google], but absolutely no
decent documentation to be found] and Swing Java classes [look 'n feel
of Cocoa, but portable]. However, the most important feature for me is
a clean and easy IPC with BSD layer processes. I figure sockets will
work with all options, but what about the other mechanisms? Any
suggestions?" Update: 10/13 22:08 GMT by [1]C:For those curious about
the Cocoa/Carbon debate, you can find an article that discusses this
very issue, [2]here. Thanks to the folks over at Freenode's #macdev for
providing the link.

with DB access. Instead of spending a lot of time working on code that
reads data from the database, code that stuffs it into useable objects,
remembering whether a particular piece of data lives in the database or
not, etc., db-backed allows the programmer to simply design their
database schema (with a few constraints), and write a very simple class
definition which describes the mapping between database fields, class
methods, and foreign key mappings.

it includes runtime and applications packages that contain all that is
needed to run it.
Gamazons 0.75
http://freshmeat.net/releases/100073/
Gamazons is a game played on a 10x10 chess board. Each side has four
pieces (amazons) that move like chess queens (in a straight line in any
direction). Instead of capturing pieces like in chess, the game is
determined based on who moves last. Each move consists of two parts.
First an amazon moves to a new square and then fires an arrow to
another square (the arrow is fired in a straight line in any direction
from the square the amazon landed on). The square the arrow lands on
becomes a permanent block for the rest of the game. No one can move
over it, or fire an arrow over it. Every turn an amazon must move and
fire an arrow, so every turn there is one less square available on the
board. Try to block in your opponent, or section off a good chunk of
the board for yourself.

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
I am considering running Slashcode and Buzilla on the same server. Do
any of you have experience with this setup? I plan to run them on the
same daemon, using virtual hosting.
No comments on polls
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/10/08/159249
I have a slash site recently upgraded to 2.2.6 It does not seem to
offer users the chance to add comments to polls. Any idea why that
might be? Is it a template issue that I have broken? or a bug in
slashcode 2.2.6? eg http://news.diversebooks.com/pollBooth.pl?section=
&qid=17&aid=-1
install-slashsite needed for 2.2.5 -> 2.2.6?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/10/07/1535237
I'm in the process of upgrading from slash 2.2.5 to slash 2.2.6. I've
done the make and make install steps, and everything seems to have gone
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
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/10/05/1639245
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?
