will actually include some source code of BeOS, and that will support
Microsoft's .NET platform, among other things."

Welcome to the new Cluster
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/10/31/0435252
We're up and running on the new cluster at Exodus West. The hardware
configuration is almost identical to what we had on the east coast,
just a few time zones over. No doubt we'll be working out a few kinks
over the next few days, so hang in there. Now that that's over with,
please continue swimming naked.
Slashdot is Moving
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/10/30/2029224
As I mentioned yesterday, Slashdot is moving from Exodus East to West.
This will be happening at around 11pm Eastern. We hope the downtime
will be relatively minimal, but DNS may be a little slower to catch up.
You can use [0]brak.slashdot.org for a few days if your DNS is slow to
catch up to reality. Hopefully we'll see you on the other side.
Hopefully. In the meantime talk amongst yourselves. Here's a topic: Is

Using R44 And A PowerBook To Bust Illegal Seawalls

high resolution photograph every 500 feet down the California coast.
The goal? Busting people putting up illegal sea walls. The catch so
far? One golf course covered the beach with boulders. Also of note: the
[2]website has 44 gigs of photos so far, runs on [3]solar power, and is

Antimatter Space Drive
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/10/30/1540224
[0]sckienle writes "Space.com has an [1]article on using anti-matter
for propulsion in space. It isn't true Star Trek warp stuff, in fact it
is a variation on an fusion based pellet design I saw in the late 70's,
but interesting concept. The concept is still somewhat of a dream, as
stated in the article: 'The real hub is the storage [of antimatter].
There's a lot of technology between here and there.' Later on it also
mentions that we can't produce a lot of antimatter efficiently yet.
Still it might be worth the effort if the theoretical acceleration
proves out." The BBC has a story about [2]studying antimatter in a lab.

How to Make Users Authors?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/10/30/200220
What is the proper way to turn users into authors? I'm interested in
this because I would like to use Slash as something my group uses to
communicate with each other and the world. I would like the people in
the group to function as the authors since it is their site. I've been
looking around in documentation and FAQs but can't find this documented
anywhere.

Code for Moderator Status Headline on Front Page?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/10/26/1952222
Slashdot is now running a very useful banner on the front page when the

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
