Philips & Sony To Purchase Intertrust DRM Tech
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/11/14/061241
tuxlove writes "[0]Reuters is reporting that [1]Philips and [2]Sony
Corp, the parents of the compact disc, teamed up on Wednesday to buy
InterTrust Technologies for $453 million -- a deal expected to speed up
copyright security for digital media. The acquisition by Philips
Electronics and Sony of the leading U.S.-based holder of intellectual
property in the field of 'digital rights management' technology is
widely seen as a way to prevent Microsoft, which has been embroiled in
a legal battle with InterTrust, from grabbing control of the
potentially lucrative business. Philips and Sony, the electronics
giants who introduced the CD format 20 years ago, said the deal would
enable secure distribution of content as more films and music are sold
over the Internet and other media in digital format."

[1]Hobbyists have progressed the [2]art far beyond it's quick-and-dirty
origins to produce stunning results. NASA even has [3]a fairly detailed
how-to using a disposable camera. Looks like a fun science fair project
for those dads out there with kids."

The Measured Effectiveness of Blocking Asian Spam
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/11/13/2312228
[0]fadden writes: "I recently started blocking IP addresses in China
and Korea that were sending me spam. Instead of a blanket ban, I only
blocked the subnets from which spam was being sent. After my first week
of scanning and banning, I wrote up [1] a report on the effectiveness
of the blocks." In related news, [2]SSKennel adds that: "The U.S.
[3]Federal Trade Commission has [4]discovered (prepare to be amazed!)
that revealing your email address in chat rooms can get you spammed. It
claims to have taken action against spammers who harvest email
addresses and use them to send fraudulent spam." Shocker!

MAME To Become GPL?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/11/13/220204
[0]BigJimSlade writes "The [1]'What's New' file for the latest release
of the Multi Arcade Machine Emulator (or [2]MAME, as it is more
affectionately known) states that the developers/maintainers are
considering re-licensing the not-so-open source code under the
GPL/LGPL. Currently the source is under a slightly restrictive
[3]licence that prevents modifications to certain areas of code from
being redistributed. (L)GPL source for this project would be quite a
boon for devlopers, who could reuse the CPU cores and other key
components in other OSS projects."

CA Law Demands Public Disclosure Of Break-Ins
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/11/13/1855205
AuntieMisha writes "BusinessWeek has an article about a new California
law passed that [0]requires businesses to publicly disclose information
about break-ins. The only loophole is if there is an ongoing
investigation and if the disclosure would harm the investigation. IMHO
Big companies will have the resources to set up investigations even
when they know it is unlikely to get anywhere, and business will go on
as usual for them. Small businesses that don't have the resources to
maintain an investigation will have their reputations ruined. Also, the
article doesn't mention the contingency where a break-in occurs because
of a software/hardware issue for which there is no released technical
solution (i.e. anyone else who has software X would be susceptible to
the same type of break-in). This is not good."

Slashcode
How to kickstart meta-moderation?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/11/13/0311207
I have a small slash site with a small number of users (by design) with
a few dozen stories and probably fewer than 200 comments posted so far.
The slash engine is handing out moderation points, perhaps because I
reset some of the configuration variables. But meta-moderation is not
operating.I recall that this has something to do with the number of
moderations (I'd look in the archives but the search function on
slashcode has been down for a while...). Unfortunately, I have one user
who could stand some meta-moderation NOW, before he drives other users
away with his down-mods. Yet I don't see any configuration variables or
anything else I can tweak to make meta-moderation start up. I would
rather the enforcement of community standards come from the community
rather than some heavy-handed act by the site administration. Any way
to force meta-moderation on?
Show Domains: Explain, please.
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/11/10/057254
On the user comments options page, an option exists to "Show the links
domain only in recommended situations". What are the "recommended
situations", exactly? How does this differ from the option to "Always
show link domains"?
Upgrading to MySQL 4?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/11/03/015232
In order to support some other projects I need to roll out on my
server, I need to upgrade to a real ACID database, which supports
transactions. Has anybody yet tried using Slash running on MySQL 4.0,
which now supports transactions? Are there any caevats or tricks to
doing the switchover, beyond the general upgrade notes for MySQL?
Slash plugins and version 2.3
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/11/01/0552241
I've been looking at a lot of modules (specifically email.pm and
Galleria), and it appears that they all require Slash version 2.3. Is
upgrading from 2.2.6 to one of the 2.3 versions dangerous? Is it as
simple as compiling and installing? Are there places to get these
plugins written for the release version of Slash? Or am I being a
nincompoop?
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.
SubnetID is masked using what?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/10/30/1959257
When Slash stores the SubnetID in the database, what Subnet mask is it
using? I was hoping to find this in the vars table, but no luck. Any
ideas?

It's still in development for other things, but vorlonspace.org is now
up and running (for the most part). Thanks to the guys on the irc
channel that helped me with some of the configuration issues I had.
This site is going to be a nexus of Babylon 5 information stemming from
the television show to the out of print customizable card game.

I have a new site up and running, not Much in the way of content but I
do have some information about one of my projects up at this point.
Enjoy.
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
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"?
