Never Mind The 25th Anniversary
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/10/30/0243212

    [0]jonerik writes "Considering that much of the controversy surrounding
    [1]the Sex Pistols was centered around Queen Elizabeth II's silver
    jubilee, it's somewhat ironic that the band is now celebrating their
    own: The group's seminal album, [2]"Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the
    Sex Pistols" was released 25 years ago today, according to [3]this
    article from [4]Reuters. Interestingly, although the album was hugely
    influential (and remains so), like most punk albums of the time, it
    wasn't a huge success in the U.S. at the time, taking until 1987 to be
    certified gold and another five years to be certified platinum. God
    save the Sex Pistols - we mean it maaaaaaaaan." Yeah, so it's not
    precisely topical - but still, whata band.

OpenBSD 3.2 Readies For Release, pf Matures

    interesting interview with Daniel Hartmeier, author of pf, the stateful
    packet filter developed as a replacement. Now just over a year old, it

Premature Rumors about Stargate Season 7?

    An anonymous reader writes "While some were excited about the [0]news
    of Stargate's renewal, others remained cautiously skeptical. Those is
    who did might be interested in reading [1]this story posted on
    [2]Zap2it." I for one hope the show keeps going. With the loss of
    Farscape, SG1 is possibly the best straight up sci-fi on TV- and the
    last show on the SciFi channel I watch.

Adult Swim Revamps; Removes Most Anime

    [1]Cartoon Network (Probably due to its recent [2]acquisition of

    Future airings of Yuu Yuu Hakusho and Outlaw Star-And the planned

PPC Linux vs. Mac OS X Server: Linux Edges Out
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/10/29/191216

    [0]Spencerian writes "Mac OS X is a very promising new BSD variant, but
    how does it rate as a server? [1]Byte.com writer Moshe Bar has made an
    extensively balanced [2]performance comparison of Mac OS X Server
    10.1.5 versus SuSE Linux PPC with the 2.4.19 kernel. Both operating
    systems ran on the same hardware: [3]an Xserve 1U rack mount server
    from Apple. While /.ers may guess (correctly) at his results, Mac OS X
    Server 10.1.5 wasn't as far behind the curve as you might think.
    Performance might've been better if Moshe had Mac OS X Server 10.2,
    with its faster GUI and other enhancements, but still, it appears that
    Mac OS X Server 10.1 was doing pretty good for a 1-year old."

Slashdot is Moving.  Help Load Test!
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/10/29/172253

    We're moving the Slashdot cluster from Exodus East to Exodus West in
    the next couple days. In good Slashdot Tradition, we've opened up
    [0]brak.slashdot.org for you to help load test the new cluster.
    Currently its almost an exact copy of our existing setup (missing a
    couple of webheads which will be up soon). The actual move will occur
    late at night (most likely tonight or tomorrow depending on how things
    go), and will hopefully involve only a few minutes of downtime as we
    copy the last of the data over the continent. Thanks for your help.

http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/10/26/1952222

    Slashdot is now running a very useful banner on the front page when the
    user is a moderator: "You have X Moderator Points! Use 'em or lose
    'em!". My users have been asking for something like this for weeks. Can
    someone point me to the appropriate template mod please? 

Comment Status "Read-only" means what, exa
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/10/24/1558218

    There are 3 posible commentcodes defined in the default installation of
    the code_param table: "Comments Enabled", "Comments Disabled", and
    "Read Only". The first two options are fairly obvious, either allowing
    or disallowing comments in the discussion (I presume). But what is the
    "Read Only" option for? How does it differ from "Comments Disabled"? 

Unable to start slashd?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/10/24/0723238

    I have an up and running slash site ToborGuru.com I have been playing
    with the templates and the general look and feel of the site and am
    very happy with the capabilities of slashcode. However I have had a
    couple of problems and I think I MAY know what is causing them now.
    First off the index page is not displaying an "X comments" link in the
    linkStory Template, and portald boxes are not updating/ being displayed
    (they show up if they had content before (slashdot, slashcode) but they
    have old stories, and the new ones are not getting any content at all
    and are not being displayed). After reading some of the earlier
    questions to this site and looking at it myself it SEEMS as though
    slashd is not actually starting (would my site still run at all?). I
    have no running slashd processes, and when I run "slashd start" by hand
    this is the message I get: "DBIx::Password returned *nothing* for
    virtual user start DSN (is the username correct?) at
    /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i586-linux/Sl ash/DB.pm line 46.".
    I JUST tested DBIx::Password with the following results:
    "##################Note!######################### If you are not on the
    machine that will be using these passwords this will most likely fail.
    Now, lets test getDriver() by itself Finding driver:mysql Now, lets see
    if we can make create objects Trying: virtual_userFinding driver:mysql
    ok 2" So everthing appears to be working correctly there. I have also
    noticed that I do not have any slashd log entries for more than a
    month, I installed slash JUST over a month ago, and am curious as to
    what I may have broken since the site IS still working other than the
    symptoms listed above. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Sections: Special cases
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/10/23/1640227

    I've been poking about in the source for Slash, and I was wondering:
    There are two sections that seem a little "special", the "index"
    section which doesn't appear in the sections table, but is (I think)
    used to represent the front page of the site, and the "All Sections"
    section, which (I think) is meant to represent all the sections of the
    site. Can anyone tell me how these two sections are treated as special
    cases? How do they differ from other, "normal" sections, and which
    parts of the site should care about these special values? If I set my
    app variable "defaultsection" to empty (blank), does this mean the
    defaultsection is "All Sections", since "All Sections" doesn't have a
    section name? 

Installation: Apache seg faults on perl scripts
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/10/22/0711224

    I've read many, many posts on google, etc. about this problem, but no
    real solutions that have worked for me. I've downloaded the latest
    apache, mod_perl and slashcode. I can install everything, but when I
    try to access a perl script the browser sends a couple of requests, and
    then I get a "Document contains no data error" and the general server
    error log has child pid 3305 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) I can
    access the shtml files just fine and the slash daemon is running no
    problem. Thank you for your help, Sean Forman

    We've had our site running for about a year now. No complaints yet. 

Customize RSS?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/10/21/0115220

    i've noticed that this site includes the intro copy of a story in the
    /slashcode.rss file. i'd like to do the same to the site i work on
    (sagewire.sage.org), but am not sure the fastest/best way to accomplish
    it without breaking other things. searching here, google wasn't
    particularly enlightening. what's the trick? 

Switching Domains Following a Re-Design
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/10/18/1921254

    We are upgrading servers and as part of that would like to upgrade our
    CMS to slashcode as well. Our new server and old server
    (http://www.baseballprimer.com/) are located elsewhere, so I can't hold
    the new server off-line to get the site up and running before taking it
    live. I'm wondering if I were to use one of my spare domain names on
    the new server, how should I configure the new slash site, so that I
    can switch it over to our baseballprimer.com domain when it is time to
    lauch the slash site. For instance, A) install the slash site with
    http://www.otherdomain.com and //www.otherdomain.com as the dirs, and
    then switch them when the new site is ready to go. B) install the slash
    site with http://www.baseballprimer.com/ and // as the dirs and then
    point to that directory with the other domain and use
    http://www.otherdomain.com/ to test everything out. Will method (B)
    work? I think that would be the easiest to use option, if it works.
    Thanks, sean
