Angry Spirited Away Fans Strike Back
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/12/06/040241
[0]peter_gzowski writes "[1]Anime News Network is [2]reporting that,
'The Japanese consumers in the Kyoto and Hyogo prefectures of Japan
have filed a lawsuit against Walt Disney Japan over the red tint on the
Japanese DVD release of Spirited Away.' Japanese consumers who
purchased the Spirited Away DVD were very disappointed when they
discovered a red tint to the film. A hundred thousand consumers
complained, but Buena Vista Home Entertainment Japan (a subsidiary of
Walt Disney) pretended [3]nothing was wrong with the disc. The original
source of news of the suit can be found (in Japanese) at [4]Mainichi.

enough to have access to a 533 MHz Alpha back when the fastest Pentiums

Sony To Package StarOffice On European PCs
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/12/05/2051226
Jahf writes "This [0]News.com article talks about how Sony is adopting
Sun's [1]Star Office suite over Microsoft office in some areas. It's
nice to see it being adopted, maybe this is the beginning of a trend.
While Star Office is still not as optimized as it could be (read: it
eats memory and can be a little slow even compared to MS Office), it
has all the features most people need and then some at a much better
price." Specifically, as reader [2]Yacoubean points out (pointing to
[3]coverage at InfoWorld),"The PCs will be sold in the United Kingdom,
France, Spain, Germany, Austria and Switzerland."

J3zmund writes "This [0]article highlights the attempt by ESports Arena

could sprawn some interesting events (once gaming goes beyond 'kill').
With The Sims ready to go online this month, it could open this up to a
much larger audience than the "young males" they currently identify.

How Much Do You Pay to Host Your Website?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/12/05/1257234
[0]DosGusanos asks: "I was curious how much people around the U.S. and
around the world pay for hosting. Obviously size in cabinets/rack
units/square feet, included features such as bandwidth, UPS/generator,
management, etc. factor in. The configuration I am particularly
interested in is three machines, one www, one search, and one database.
The machines would be hooked up to a T1 and networked to one another
over Ethernet. Anyone paying for colo or hosting in this same ballpark?
How happy/upset are you with your provider?"

http://freshmeat.net/releases/105606/
BSDftpd-ssl is a TLS/SSL-enhanced FTP server. It is based on FreeBSD's
ftpd, and the TLS/SSL enhancement allows RFC 2228 "FTP Security
Extensions"-compliant TLS/SSL support for both control and data
connections. This feature requires special clients; with standard
clients, this software operates as a standard FTP server.
cscreenshot 0.1.1
http://freshmeat.net/releases/105596/

http://freshmeat.net/releases/105591/
Facade enables developers to build highly modular Web applications.
Arbitrary event handlers can be easily mapped to parts of request or
event URLs via a configuration file, whereby unitizing, refactoring,
and maintaining Web applications becomes very simple.
feh 1.2.3
http://freshmeat.net/releases/105608/
feh is a fast, lightweight image viewer which uses imlib2. It is
commandline-driven and supports multiple images through slideshows,
thumbnail browsing or multiple windows, and montages or index prints
(using truetype fonts to display file info). Advanced features include
fast dynamic zooming, progressive loading, loading via HTTP (with
reload support for watching webcams), recursive file opening (slideshow
of a directory hierarchy), and mousewheel/keyboard control.
GNU TeXmacs 1.0.0.24
http://freshmeat.net/releases/105585/
GNU TeXmacs is a free scientific text editor, which was inspired by
both TeX and GNU Emacs. The editor allows you to write structured
documents via a "wysiwyg" and user friendly interface. The
program implements high quality typesetting algorithms and TeX fonts.
It is also possible to use TeXmacs as an interface to computer algebra
systems. Finally, TeXmacs supports the Guile/Scheme extension language,
which makes it possible to adapt the user interface to specific needs,
and even to extend the editor.
Graphical certification authority 0.2.11
http://freshmeat.net/releases/105589/
Graphical certification authority is an interface for managing RSA keys
and certificates, and the creation and signing of PKCS#10 requests. It
uses the OpenSSL library and a Berkeley DB for key and certificate
storage. It supports importing and exporting keys and PEM DER PKCS8
certificates, signing and revoking of PEM DER PKCS12, and the selection
of x509v3 extensions. A tree view of certificates is presented.

inheritance, and many classes that can be easily combined to quickly
create complex user interfaces.
Iris 0.2
http://freshmeat.net/releases/105600/
Iris is a CGI script, config samples, and instructions to build an
email server with virtual domains support and web based account and
domain administration. It is based on Exim, Cyrus IMAP, MySQL, and
Perl.
Katie snapshot-16
http://freshmeat.net/releases/105602/
Katie is a revision control system, somewhat like a cross between CVS
and NFS, that was inspired by Rational ClearCase. The three most
interesting features of Katie are that the repository is mounted as a
filesystem (rather than being copied to a local workspace), that all
versions of all files (even deleted ones) are accessible through this
filesystem (so there is, for example, no need for a Katie-specific diff
command like CVS has), and that directories are versioned (just like
files are). Basic operations (creation of elements, checkout, checkin,
dynamic views, config specs, and branches) work, but there is much work
still to go before it will be generally useful.
KXParse 1.3
http://freshmeat.net/releases/105610/
KXParse is a PHP-based, lightweight, easy-to-use XML parser, with no
need of installation because it's just an include file that's loaded on
the fly.
lvs-kiss 1.0 (Stable)
http://freshmeat.net/releases/105609/
lvs-kiss is designed to make load-balancing with fail-over simpler. The
primary design-goal is for you to get load-balancing with fail-over up
and running withing an hour or so. The secondary design goal is to be
able to make this software as flexible as possible. Embedding of perl
in configuration-files and load-balancing with custom made tests should
be possible without too much hassle.
MacOS9 0.2
http://freshmeat.net/releases/105571/

(template, session, and database abstraction).
netclasses 0.993
http://freshmeat.net/releases/105580/
Netclasses is an easy to use interface to socket programming in
Objective-C with GNUstep. The core netclasses supports virtually any
protocol, but the distribution comes with everything needed for TCP/IP
(opening ports, background connections, etc.). Netclasses seamlessly
integrates into NSRunLoop, which means there should be no need for
redesigning applications to use it.
oo2c 1.5.8
http://freshmeat.net/releases/105586/
Oberon2 is a simple and safe object-oriented language created by
N.Wirth, the author of Pascal and Modula2. It is statically strongly
typed and has garbage collection. Most of good ideas incorporated in
design of Java were in Oberon2 long before. OOC is an open source
project to produce a family of optimizing Oberon2 compilers. The
compiler with an ANSI C back-end, oo2c, is quite mature, and provides a
complete and convenient Oberon2 development environment. It comes with
a rather comprehensive standard library, Code Navigator, and an Emacs
mode. It is easy to call C functions and libraries from Oberon2.
OpenAntiVirus samba-vscan 0.3.1
http://freshmeat.net/releases/105601/
samba-vscan provides on-access scanning of Samba shares with FRISK
F-Prot Daemon, Kaspersky AntiVirus, OpenAntiVirus.org ScannerDaemon,
Sophos Sweep (SAVI), Symantec CarrierScan, and Trend Micro (VSAPI). It
supports Samba 2.2.x/3.x alphaX with working virtual file system (VFS)
support.
Openwall Linux kernel patch 2.2.23-ow1 (Linux 2.2)
http://freshmeat.net/releases/105587/
The Openwall Linux kernel patch is a collection of security
"hardening" features for the Linux kernel. In addition to the
new features, some versions of the patch contain various security
fixes. The "hardening" features of the patch, while not a
complete method of protection, provide an extra layer of security
against the easier ways to exploit certain classes of vulnerabilities
and/or reduce the impact of those vulnerabilities. The patch can also
add a little bit more privacy to the system by restricting access to
parts of /proc so that users may not see what others are doing.
Opera for Linux 6.11
http://freshmeat.net/releases/105614/
Opera for Linux is an alternative, lightweight, X11-based Web browser
for Linux.

http://freshmeat.net/releases/105583/
PgAccess is a Tcl/Tk frontend for PostgreSQL. It allows
creation/modification of database, tables, queries, reports, scripts,
in a way similar to the Windows-based db client of the same name.
PHP LDBI 0.0.2
http://freshmeat.net/releases/105612/
PHP LDBI is a library to handle local databases. It supports tables,
sequences, indices, and searches using wildcards. It's primary goal is
to serve as backend for SQL interfaces to local databases. It includes
an SQL parser to execute simple SQL statements.
pkg_search for OpenBSD 0.1
http://freshmeat.net/releases/105598/
pkg_search is an OpenBSD utility for searching for, downloading, and
adding packages from the ports/packages tree. It is designed to work
like apt-get does on Linux, but makes use of the OpenBSD mirrors as
sources over HTTP, and also has built-in support for installing
dependencies. It is written in Perl for portability reasons, and can be
used with a basic OpenBSD 3.2 install with the default Perl package,
and is also backwards compatible with previous releases of OpenBSD
(with minor editing of the script).
pymetar 0.5
http://freshmeat.net/releases/105604/
PyMETAR is a Python module that provides easy access to NOAA's METAR
weather reports.

Server-side FileManager is a Java servlet which implements FileManager.
You can use this servlet for remote site management: upload/download
files, copy/move files, edit files, etc. Its main advantage is that it
uses only the HTTP protocol for access to your host, which allows it to
work through most firewalls.
SiTE 1.0.1
http://freshmeat.net/releases/105592/
SiTE is a fast, lightweight Java template engine which cleanly
separates presentation from application code. It parses any text-based
template and creates a structured document representation that enables
an application to change the template's contents at runtime without
regard to its format.
SMELT 0.2.11a
http://freshmeat.net/releases/105590/
SMELT (Simple Monitoring Evaluating and Logging Tool) is a tool created
to monitor the disks in a single host or an entire network. It's
totally written in BASH script. This way this tool can be installed and
used normally in every distribution of Linux or Solaris operating
systems. When a single host is monitored, the results can be sent via
e-mail to the host's administrator. When an entire network is
monitored, SMELT can work in client/server model. The results can be
sent to the server via FTP and, using a Web server, be published in a
frame-based HTML page, as well via email.
Subversion 0.16

What does srandblock do?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/12/04/065239
I've been trying to figure out how to get a random sections block like
Slashdot has. As far as I've figured out so far the srandblock
(semi-random block) seems like a good start. When I look in the portald
daemon there is a function newSemiRandomBlock called, but I can't find
the function. Does anyone know how to make the random section block
work? I believe this was discussed before but I didn't see any answers.
Also, is there an easy way to have the section list that tells if there
are recent articles, like the one Slashdot has on the left? --mwmurphy
Submission Approval / Comments not working
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/12/03/0628241
I've been running slashcode now for about 2 years or so. Since around
version 2.2.5, I've had this problem on my site where neither the
comments or approving submitted articles will work. I believe the
problem is also aggrivated by the fact that I am using URL forwarding.
The URL of my site points to a java-script that opens my page on a
specific port within a frame. If a user tries to post a comment, the
submission page comes up fine, but when they click preview or submit,
it just brings them to the discussions list (comments.pl) instead of
posting the comment.. Any help would be appreciated, is this a bug? -

Can Anonymous Coward Be Renamed?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/12/03/2159220
Is there a way to rename the nickname Anonymous Coward? If a site wants
to encourage anonymous submissions for some reason, calling them
cowards is a bit insulting. I called up user 1 and changed the Realname
field, but that didn't work. Template 101 edit_comments seems to use
user.nickname, but I can't find a place to change that outside of SQL.
Would something break if I did change it in SQL?

One of the things I'm attempting to do is reduce the number of staff
wide emails by having them posted on the slash site. I figure if I
start positing these messages to the slash site and people receive the
daily email of last day's news they will start to use it. Any
suggestions?
Letting Apache authenticate
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/12/01/1942218
I have setup a Slash site that will be used as an Intranet (restricted
access) discussion site, yet lives out on the INTERnet. Does anyone
know a way to have Apache authenticate users (thus enforcing access
from valid IP addresses) and then grant Slash access to this user
authentication (thus eliminating double logins for users)?
Slashcode install on RedHat 8.0

I just got Slashcode installed on RedHat 8.0 and I documented the
process here: http://www.heltzel.org/slashcode.html I hope this can
help others trying to do the same thing.
