picoGUI: An X Alternative?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/11/16/2018246
bockman writes "While started as a PDA-oriented project, the [0]picoGUI
people seem to be implementing many ideas which I think would be good
also for a desktop graphics server ( high-level client/server protocol,
presentation layer in the server _but_ modular, application management
also modular,...). So I wonder: what would it take (apart porting tons
of applications) to make it a suitable alternative to X+[your toolkit
of choice]+[your window manager of choice]?"

EU Considering Another MS Antitrust Suit

[0]mesozoic writes "Yahoo! News is [1]reporting that the European Union
is considering *another* antitrust suit against Microsoft, this time
having to do with anticompetitive behavior in the market for mobile
phone software. While I haven't seen any signs Microsoft is going to
dominate the industry here in the States, cell phones are a much bigger
deal in Europe, so I can understand why they'd be nervous."

accomodation info is at the bottom of the page. I heard on the radio
that they will be setting up a "tent city" for those of us who want to

eclipses coming up.

Helping Your Ex-Employer?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/11/16/0640233
[0]ali_bubba asks: "A funny thing happened to me today, I have beeb
unemployed for over 5 months, and all of a sudden my ex-Boss calls me
and demands (well, it sounded like a demand) that I help her out,
because her entire corporate LAN was down. Naturally, she knows that
I'm kind person, but boy what attitude, so I did help her save the day.
She did not even bother calling me back to thank me, (like if you get
slapped, turn the other cheek, as Jesus once said) Has anyone else had
this happen to them before? What actions did you take?" While I can
understand that some people in this situation may harbor some ill will
if place in this situation, it may behoove you to see this as an
opportunity, and at the very least, an opportunity to make a little
money off of your old company. It doesn't pay to burn bridges,
especially if they need something that you can provide. For those who
have been in this situation, how did you handle it? For others, if you
were offered work from your old job, would you do it, and under what
conditions would your perform said work?

one episodes, newly remixed Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround and many extras.
The following six seasons will be released one or two months apart from
each other, as the Next Generation box sets were. Good to see this show
finally coming out on DVD and getting some of the recognition it truly
deserves."

Charging Does Help Yahoo Make A Profit
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/11/16/1424231
[0]Meshach writes "The [1]globe and mail has an [2]article about how
[3]yahoo is starting to charge for their email service. Payment is not
mandatory but if you don't pay you have many restrictions on your
accont. It says that while many are angry about the change enough
people are paying that it is helping Yahoo rebound from their slump.
This seems like a recent trend in e-business." The conventional wisdom
around web stuff that's been free, but converts to pay is that "they
die off, no one wants to use it anymore etc etc", but I think what
people fail to realize is that for many businesses, less people is
*just fine*, if those people are paying.

OpenSSH LDAP Public key patch 0.1
http://freshmeat.net/releases/103762/
The OpenSSH LDAP Public key patch provides an easy way of centralizing
user authentication by using an LDAP server for retrieving public keys

Architecture") DeskJet printers. These include the HP710C/712C,
720C/722C, 820Cse/820Cxi, and 1000Cse/1000Cxi models, which do not use
the usual PCL protocol as other DeskJet models do. pnm2ppa accepts PNM
(pbm, pgm, and ppm format) input, such as that created by Ghostscript,
SANE, or XV, and sends the PPA protocol output to the printer.

configuration file.
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?
www.vorlonspace.org
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/10/29/2232226
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"?
