New Windows Worm Inching Around Internet
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/03/11/0058219
[0]helixcode123 writes "[1]The Register is reporting a Windows Worm
that takes advantage of weak default passwords. This looks pretty
nasty, as it mucks with the registry and disables network sharing."
Basically if it finds SMB shares with weak passwords, it drops an
executable in the startup folder... for once a security problem that
isn't really Microsoft's fault.

Swapping Clock Cycles for Free Music?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/03/10/1845230
[0]droopus writes "USA Today [1] is reporting on an innovative business
model for the music business. Free music for your spare CPU cycles. [2]
Honest Thief says the firm has developed software, to be available in
the second quarter of this year, that will enable file-sharing
providers to capitalize on the unused CPU cycles of their members. That
in turn would allow them to raise money to compensate artists for the
use of their material. Honest Thief said the software, known as
ThankYou 2.0, enables a peer-to-peer file-sharing client to turn the
computers of digital music fans into nodes in a distributed net. By
leasing out the processor power on distributed nets to research
facilities the firm could generate revenues that would be distributed
back to the musicians. Some very smart people have suggested this
before, but this seems like the first real implementation. "

AOL's Mystro TV vs Tivo?

plans for a TiVo-killing '[0]Mystro TV' (nytimes annoying free
registration required). They plan to begin rolling this out sometime in
the next two years. Their major features are the simple pause, rewind,
and fast forward that all PVRs have. However, they've taken the obvious
stance to "let[s] networks set the parameters, dictating which shows
users can reschedule, and it also creates ways for networks to insert
commercials." The article even mentions how they could get an advantage
in pushing their product because "viewers could try out Mystro TV by
pushing a button on their remote"."

Slashcode
SSL and slashcode fulltime
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/03/11/0737249
Does anyone know if Slash works with SSL (not just for auth. but full
time https)???? I need this and I'm not sure where to go from here.
Current setup: Linux 8.0 / apache 1.3 / latest slash. (works very
well). Some links and instructions would greatly be appreciated.
thanks, -Kam.
Streetnoise.org - Your Daily Political Roller Coaster
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/03/10/1820238
Without further ado, here are the fruit of my last 12 weekends. The
site runs on 2.6.6 and I probably won't touch it until there is a more
decent upgrade strategy. Let me know if you like it and if you're
interested in politics, please don't be shy and post a story when you
run into something outrageous (which is easy these days).
New Features!
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/03/10/0322236
So bunch of new features are in the latest CVS. Including image and
file support int stories. Other hight lights include: Slash::Relocate,
an href tool that changes all of your links on your site to
relocateable links. Coming soon to this will be a task to track if the
link is dead or not (and give you an alternate link to google if it
is). Slash meta language. Now in stories (and soon in Journals) you can
use custom slash links to do all sorts of nifty little things. If you
notice the story before this one with the like to you will noticed the
hyper link to their homepage. Plus if you are logged in it will show
you your Zoo Relationships. Finally, we now have image and file support
with stories. Here is with his cat. Multi page documents are now
supported by using the SLASH tag language. Bunch more that I am
probably forgetting....
Storing Variable Calues
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/03/10/0216217
Another questions about template editing, but more specifically about
grabbing everything in an existing site that you've optimized and
converting that information into something you can use in a theme. I've
asked questions previously about templates and boxes (thanks to
lottadot and ), but now I'd be interested to find out if I can grab
things like site variables and menu alterations and stuff like that
from the database, and put them in a form that is convenient to install
in a new site. My guess is that it'll be in the form of some sql
queries that need to be run on initial installation (in the sql_prep
and _dump files in the theme)? Can anyone help me out? Is there an easy
way to do it? If there isn't, why hasn't this been implemented?
Innodb and Slash
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/03/09/1952228
I'm wondering if people are using Innodb with Slash. The big issue
seems to be converting tables that have FULLTEXT on them (like
stories). Anyone know if there are any advantages to having Innodb
tables?
File Management System?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/03/09/0559213
Krow added Blob support for stories. That is great, however, it stores
all the info into a database. How hard would it be to design a plugin
that works more like the gallery plugin for slash. IE: To be able to
add PDF/Mp3s/Images, etc, into a story or comment, but have it stored
in a directory or something rather than the database.
Privatized user journals?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/03/07/1824248
Is there any way to privatize user journals? I've noticed on the new
slashdot site that the ability to privatize your journal is offered if
you're a paid subscriber, is this a feature available in slashcode? If
not, any ideas on how to implement this? --TorinEdge
Changing Boxes in a Template
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/03/07/1758241
A similar question to my one about templates earlier, but I've created
specific QuickLinks boxes and things I'd like to make part of my
template. Is there any way these can be grabbed from the database as
well, and used as my boxes? Actually, now that I think about it, would
it be better to just delete any (perhaps all) of the boxes, and just
create my own, putting them in appropriate locations myself. If I
choose to do the latter, can I make specific boxes a part of my
template? Or would I need to create a new Boxes plugin or something
that can put them in my site for me? I know I keep firing questions off
to you guys about what probably seems to be simple stuff, but if
nothing else it's at least providing some info about what might be
handy to have available in the future for simpler customisation.
Mandrake.Net
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/03/06/1841236
It took 6 years to update my code after I handed rob the set of perl
code I hacked out to run my site, but finally I changed mandrake.net
over to running slash. I'm still working on bringing over the last of
the content from the old site, and still tweaking everything (I still
have the default slash color scheme) but it looks pretty good so far.
Email password problem
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/03/06/1753230
Hi, My site does not seem to send out password emails to new users at
all, and also leaves this message in dailystuff.log: Can't call method
"bulkmail" on an undefined value at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5
.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/Slash/Utility/System. pm line 168. I am
still relatively a newbie to slash, and I attempted to search for this
message - but have seen no ref to it yet. I have also listed the users
in mysql to make sure there arent any wierd email addresses.
