netrik release: 1.3.0 (alpha)
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=255645
Netrik is a fairly complete text-based web browser; it is useful both
for browsing local documentation and web sites. After another longer
pause, a new version of netrik is now out. There is a fairly simple,
but very convenient new feature: If you go back to a page from history
(or reload the current one), the link which was active when leaving the
page is not only reactivated when it's still in the same place, but
also if the page is somewhat different than it was. This is especially
useful when reading newstickers or other dynamic pages. But even
changing ads can cause layout changes, so this can also help with
otherwise static pages.
Ohioedge CRM 1.3.1_FinalRC2 is released...
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=255862
Ohioedge CRM 1.3.1 Final RC2 contains a minor but significant update to
the PDF reports module. Ohioedge CRM is a Web-based, Enterprise Java
(J2EE) Customer Relationship Management application [JBoss, WebLogic,
SunONE, WebSphere Editions] specifically designed for $5-500M
organizations requiring enterprise-wide co-ordination of sales
generation and fulfillment (workflow) effort. The PDF reports are now
incorporated into and managed through the InputFactory component and
thus fall under the security structure of Ohioedge CRM. A user can now
view a PDF report, only if the PDF report is attached to the user's
activity types. PDF reports can now be stored and created independent
of Ohioedge CRM. This release is compatible with the latest releases of
J2eeBuilder and J2eeCustomer component libraries.
PHP iCalendar 0.9.1 released

JPluck 0.9 beta 2
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=255030
JPluck is Java-based toolkit for creating Plucker (a popular PalmOS
document format) documents. It includes the easy-to-use JPluck X GUI
for managing and downloading sites. Beta 2 has several important
improvements including a scheduling system, improved Windows HotSync,
and conversion of documents to XML for postprocessing. - New:
Scheduling Documents can now be scheduled for conversion on specific
days of the week and times of the day. More information on the special
Scheduling page. (See the Manual section on the site.) - Improved
Windows HotSync conduit The conduit has been upgraded significantly and
is now part of the main distribution. The big improvement is that PDBs
can be synced to RAM right after they have been generated, while the
rest of the documents are downloaded and queued in parallel. This can
greatly reduce HotSync time when you convert multiple documents,
especially on a serial or IR connection. The second improvement is that
you can instruct the conduit to convert only scheduled and due
documents. Finally, the Windows installer now registers the conduit
automatically. (Note that the conduit cannot sync PDBs to memory cards
yet. Documents meant to be stored on memory cards are still synced at
the end of the HotSync process. This will be addressed shortly.) - New:
Broken links handling Links to pages that are not present in the
resulting Plucker document can be given a distinct color or removed
from the document altogether. - New: HTML to XML conversion dialog This
feature is meant for developers who want to create XSLT stylesheets to
transform HTML pages. Simply specify a filename or URL and JPluck
automatically retrieves the HTML page and converts it to well-formed
XML. You can then paste this XML into a dedicated XSLT editor and
develop stylesheets there. - Improved character handling JPluck now
translates Unicode entities to the PalmLatin character set where
possible. Examples include the curly quotes, the promille, the ellipsis
and the Euro. - Improved logging JPluck C can now send log messages to
standard out, a log file and the progress window simultaneously. JPluck
X can now automatically save messages to a global log file and/or to a
JXL-specific local log file. - Miscellaneous Added the ability to
override the user agent on a per-Document basis. Added the option to
specify the HotSync destination on a per-Document basis. Made several
interface improvements.

New Computer Program Determines "Hitability"
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/02/26/2051221
[0]illuminatedwax writes "It looks like the process of homogenizing the
mediocrity of Top 40 radio is going to be aided by a computer,
according to an [1]article from the Music Industry News Network.
[2]Polyphonic HMI has developed a new program called Hit Song Science
(HSS) and compares "underlying mathematical patterns" in current hit
songs and compares them to a new song to determine if it will become a
hit or not. Looks like we can expect even more of the same old junk
being recycled for us on the radio, although the article claims that it
'will allow new sounds and styles to flourish.'"

Why Does a Screen Re-Draw Make Noises?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/02/26/0541254
[0]grungy asks: "On several computers I have owned, I have noticed an
audible noise related to large screen re-draws. A hardware guy once
hypothesized that the large memory-move operation was creating
electronic 'noise' which was then picked up and audibly amplified by my
speaker. I unwired my speaker, removed it from the machine and put it
in a different room, and the phenomenon still occurred. At this point I
assumed it was something going on/emanating from the monitor itself.
Now I have a TiBook laptop with an LCD panel. At quiet moments I can
still hear it when I drag windows around. I have tried doing big
memcpy's & the like, I don't get the same noise. I've been wondering
about this for years. Anybody know what gives?"

Three Electrons Entangled
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/02/26/2345203
An anonymous reader writes "[0]Science Blog reports on Michigan
researchers who have managed to entangle [1]three electrons at once.
"The quantum entanglement of three electrons, using an ultrafast
optical pulse and a quantum well of a magnetic semiconductor material,
has been demonstrated in a laboratory at the University of Michigan,
marking another step toward the realization of a practical quantum
computer. While several experiments in recent years have succeeded in
entangling pairs of particles, few researchers have managed to
correlate three or more particles in a predictable fashion.""

Trustworthy Computing At One Year

the company to work toward Trustworthy Computing, making Microsoft
operating systems, applications and services secure and reliable. Where

security chief Stuart Okin. Slow, steady progress seems to be the
result. They've targeted Security, Privacy, Reliability and Business
Integrity, but so far have had a go at Privacy. Okin indicates the
strategy may take 5 to 15 years, but more immediate milestones are
targeted within the next two years and focusing on reducing
vulnerabilities in the next version of Windows, rather than attempting
to fix 2000 or XP. I'd chalk this up as a frank and honest interview,
rather than madly spun, and paints a picture of the massive cat herding
effort undertaken."

RAMdisk RAID?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/02/26/0611258
drew_92123 asks: "I've got a friend who does a LOT of video editing but
is on a limited budget. He is currently using a raid array and while
quite large, it's not as fast as he had hoped. I had an idea and wanted
to know if there is a way to make it a reality, so of course I though
of all the brilliant minds here. I have about a dozen Pentium II
computers with 1GB of RAM. I would like to upgrade them to 2GB and
throw in some gigabit NICs and create a 1.9GB RAMdisk on each one. Then
I want to use one of the computers to RAID the RAMdisks together to be
shared via Samba most likely. They are all 1U systems, with no HDD's,
just a 64MB IDE flash disk. Any ideas out there?" Has anyone
successfully put together such a system? How well did it work for you
and are there any caveats that you would like to share with others who
would do the same?

Kartouche 0.0.1c
http://freshmeat.net/releases/114501/
To localise the KDE desktop, some 590 files containing around 68,000
strings need to be translated. This can be done with a simple
text-editor, or using the dedicated application KBabel. A text editor
can be confusing to people who are used to word processors, and KBabel
runs only on Linux. Using Kartouche, however, people can help the
translation effort by entering suggested translations over the Web (or
LAN) with just a browser. Kartouche uses PHP to load the pot files into
a MySQL database (one file to a table), and then provides a front-end
for people to add suggested translations, and a back-end for the
translation co-ordinator to accept or reject those suggestions.
Kartouche could also be used for GNOME files and for other apps if
input/output filters were developed.

Slashcode
Slash not emailing Daily Headlines / Stories
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/26/176227
I have got a basic install up and running and so far everything is
behaving as expected in terms of the web ui. My previous post regarding
external authentication is being followed up with the developers of our
current community software, I will post whatever developments come from
that should others find it useful. One oddity I am noticing is that the
website is not emailing me like it did the very first day. I received a
report on the activity along with the news headlines. The next day and
from then on in I have not received any mail. The system is mailing
correctly. New registrations and password requests come through without
any problems at all. It seems limited to the cronish sort of things. I
can not find any errors in the logs to help guide me here, has anyone
else experienced this? One thing I did do that may have broken
something was change my slash install from on domain to another by
going through the install process again. Any pointers would be most
appreciated, Mitchell
Installing Slash article on Linux Journal website

Link Tag to Enable Auto-Discovery of RSS Files
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/21/1652216
Recently, I have been making small changes to my Slash sites to make
them integrate better into the weblog communities dominated by Blogger,
Radio from Userland, Movable Type, and similar tools. I found out that
some of the weblog aggregation tools look for a specific link tag in
the head portion of a site's home page in order to locate that site's
RSS file. This is the kind of thing that can be added to a template
without changing any code. Here's the code itself: <link

ExploitSeattle is your daily dose of events occuring in the Emerald
City. Its run by a horde of rain soaked Seattlites who's quest to
relieve boredom and promote cool stuff(TM) caused them to create a site
to list their hip and not so hip events.
SuSE8.1 installation test failures for Mysql modul
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/18/2151208
I have installed slash test sites on debian a few times before, but now
I'm trying to install a permanent site on SuSE8.1 I'm having problems
installing Bundle::Slash - MIME, Mysql modules & libapreq are all
failing their tests. I'm installing Bundle::Slash within a perl shell.
I'll concentrate on Mysql module here. I'm no perl expert (not even a
perl beginner), but it seems to be a problem with lib.pl in testing the
Mysql module. At line 253 & 254, my build complains about these 2
lines with "Illegal character in prototype for main::ErrMsgF : @_ at
t/lib.pl line 254" Here's the lines, what's wrong with them ? If
they're wrong, how come they're in the bundle ? sub ErrMsg (@_) { print
(@_); } sub ErrMsgF (@_) { printf (@_); } There's also a warning during
the "perl Makefile.PL" phase about CAPI & PL_FILES which I don't
understand either. " WARNING: CAPI is not a known parameter. WARNING:
PL_FILES takes a hash reference not a array reference. Please inform
the author. " Again, if the code is wrong, why is it bundled as a
stable release ? I suspect that my problems are just a side effect of
something else....can anyone out there point me in the right direction?
I have a build log if anyone needs to see it. thanks!
Nou la SURSE.RO
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/17/1851222
Hi! Just wanted to let you know that I started my own slash-site,
targeted at the Romanian audience. The site is intented to be a
Romanian version of Slashdot, but focus falls on local stories.
Enabling Comment Counting on Main Screen
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/19/1746215
Just installed Slash to support an internal project at work - sorry,
site is not visible from the Net. I can't work out how to add the
"comments counter" after the "Read More ... " link. I searched this
site and the mailing list archive at sourceforge with no success. I
know that it is probably something simple, but I can't find it. Can
anyone help? --Paul Barry
Discussion Posts
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/18/1753223
So here's the deal - I've got my site up and running and everything is
looking and working fine. Except for one thing that could mean the
whole project falls apart. So we all know stories need to be approved
before they are posted, right? So, we have discussions which don't
(necessarily) require approval before they can be published, hence
providing the lay-user an opportunity to create 'posts' to a Discussion
Board. However, it looks as if when I post a discussion, it is only
displayed in my user profile and is not listed in the 'Active
Discussions' list. To create somewhat of a bulletin board, I'd like to
be able to have all user discussions appear in that list of active
discussions. I've noticed the same thing happens here with Slashcode
too. Can it be changed? And if so, how?
