Embarrassing Governments Into Adopting Open Source
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/07/22/0433236
caitsith01 writes "An effort is currently underway to embarrass the
Australian Federal Government into adopting open source software. As
[0]this story explains, the Australian Democrats have put questions on
notice in Parliament that will require all government ministers to
disclose how much money their departments spend on Microsoft products
each year. The idea is to force open source issues to the fore by
showing just how much money Microsoft receives from the government. It
could be a smart approach - the average taxpayer knows little or
nothing about OSS, but will rapidly form and express vocal opinions
about the government wasting money. The article also mentions that a
bill may be introduced to Federal Parliament to mandate the
consideration of open source solutions (you may remember [1]this story
about an Australian state trying to introduce similar legislation).
Some quotes from the article: "What the country doesn't need is to be
tied into a profit-maximising licensing system, and the way to combat
that is to get government to break out of the paradigm." On the other
hand, the (right wing) Liberal Party criticises suggestions that use of
open source should be compulsory as "hi-tech affirmative action.""

Color Printing Without the Inkjet Mess?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/07/22/0240222
Above writes "Many recent /. stories have been about the problems of
inkjet Printers. Seems they all want to sell the printer for cheap, and
then use the ink to make up the difference. There are also problems
where a lack of printing, or printing too much, could make it much more
expensive to use your inkjet. So, since mine just died, what are the
best options? I'm intersted in two catagories, a 'personal' color
printer, probably USB to a machine, and a 'workgroup' color printer,
with ethernet, postscript prefered. While Windows is good for my
application, something that plays well with FreeBSD and Linux would be
a major win as well. I'd consider laser if it's cheap enough (read
$500/printer), and I don't think that it is. I'm willing to pay a bit
more for the printer if that means bigger ink tanks, better cleaning,
and easier to buy replacement supplies, the question is, are there
really good options out there or have the low-end 'throwaway' printers
taken over the market?" One option is a modded inkjet like the ones
here, [0]liberated from tiny ink cartridges. Any recommendations out
there for decent color lasers?

Sony's New Vaio PCG-TR1A: 12" Powerbook Killer?

complete on hosts from your ~/.ssh/known_hosts files. Or typing man 3
str [Tab] and getting a list of all string handling functions in the
UNIX manual. mount system: [Tab] would complete on all exported
file-systems from the host called system, while make [Tab] would
complete on all targets in Makefile. This project was conceived to
produce programmable completion routines for the most common Linux/UNIX
commands, reducing the amount of typing sysadmins and programmers need
to do on a daily basis.

Slashcode
So Long, and Thanks for all the Fish!
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/06/13/1816237
All things come to an end and its been a wonderful ride. Today is my
last day at OSDN and this will be the last thing I will be posting on
Slashcode. It has been fun working on Slash for the last few years and
I have enjoyed working with the Slash community (tf32, ACS, vladinator,
ericdano, and many more that I am forgetting). On Monday I start work
for MySQL so I will be a bit busy for a while but I expect you will
still see Slash stuff coming from me in the future. I will continue to
be in #slash for a while, and you can still always reach me via email.
The best of luck with you and your sites, it has been great!
Spottedrabbit.com
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/06/13/1756251
After much kicking and screaming, yet another Slash Site! The Spotted
Rabbit with news and events for Sussex County NJ, and Orange County,
NY. It still looks a lot like basic slash, but I'm new to this, and
we're working on it! --Ken Hall
Multiple Instances
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/06/10/1543202
Please indulge a beginner. I currently have slashcode setup on a single
domain with its own IP address (wwwntm.biz) for testing purposes. Here
is my dilemma. I am setting up a community similar to yahoo/geocities.
It will be www.newthoughtcommunity.net and the individual communities
will be sub-domains of this domain ex;
community1.newthoughtcommunity.net, community2.newthoughtcommunity.net
etc Residents of the communities will be set up as users ex;
http://community1.newthoughtcommunity.net/user1,
http://community1.newthoughtcommunity.net/user2 etc. Directory is:
/home /newthoughtcommunity /community1 /community2 I know that slash
can be setup with virtual domains, but can sub domains have there own
instance. I need each community to have their own slash. Also. When I
set up a new instance of slash for a virtual domain, do I use the same
database and administrator with a new virtual user when I run
DBI::Password? Thank you for any help you can offer John --John Macuga
section as subdomain (2.2.5 based install)
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/06/06/1444236
Hello, I have a slashcode version 2.2.5(*) based site under my command,
for which an extension is planned, that would fit well in an isolated
(isolate=1) section with a few modified templates put in the
section-page (like header;etc;default). I managed to configure a second
virtual host that uses the same SlashVitualUser directive as the
main-server with the sectionname as subdomain (etc.myslash.company),
overriding the rootdir-variable using SlashSetVar and enforcing the
section using SlashSetForm: SlashSetVar rootdir //etc.myslash.company
SlashSetForm section etc Everything works fine so far... I just
wondered if it is safe to use the same slash-site (db and all) within
two virtual-hosts. And I wondered the more if there isn't an easier way
to accomplish this. As far as I understood mod_perl there shouldn't be
any problem, but asking the masters seldom hurts but the professional
pride... * I did fix the released security-holes!. tia,kind regards

Barrapunto.com see the light with 2.2.6
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/06/03/150251
It has been hard, but after playing a little with all the
configuration, we have reached a good balance in Barrapunto.com and now
our users are very happy, the journals start to be filled with contents
and the editors now are more active. We feel that the key was to serve
the images from a differente machine, something that points to
saturation in the connections for our main machine. Now the performance
is very good with 70.000 pages/day and a PIII with 1 GB RAM with Slash
and MySQL and a simple PC serving the images.
Translation Guide?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/06/01/198224
Is there any guide on how to translate slashcode (interface, at least
the one seen by the users) to some other language? Is the slashcode
written so that can be easily translated to some other languages (UTF-8
not required) ? Thanks!
Yet Another Security Site
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/05/26/174230
YASS should probably stand for "Yet another Security Site" LOL. I've
been playing around with slash for about a week now, and finally have
the beginnings of a site running. Feel free to pop in, drop some
comments, break stuff and generally see what goes. The more
participation I see, the more work I'll put into making it a nice site.
A good name might help... now there's an idea for a poll.
Democracy Now!
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/05/22/176211
Democracy Now! a U.S. based morning TV and radio news program launched
it new site, based on a heavily modified cvs version of slash. (Hacked
together and hosted by openflows.) As they become more comfortable with
the system, and people on staff there get the hang of how slash works,
we hope to add in the more community/interactive features of slash. For
now it is simply a content management system, in the future it will
become much more. In just the first few days the traffic and audience
response has been overwhelming. stats from the second day the site was
live: IPIDs Pages 11193 55190
Advice on setting up a new site
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/05/20/1512203
I am trying to use Slash to set up an events-based discussion forum.
Ideally I'd like it to be hosted by a turn-key hosting company with
fairly punctual customer support. My internet connections are either
behind a firewall or 56k modem, so speedy shell access is out of the
question. Ideally the host would be friendly towards freedom of
information and healthily disrespectful of authority (the site will NOT
contain anything illegal, links or insight to anything illegal, but
will be acting against the policy of a well-funded British institution
whose ground-floor members support and are behind it). I would rather
the host didn't drop me just because 'someone' asked them to. Who would
you recommend for this? I'd like to modify Slash slightly by arranging
it around the date of the event, rather than the posting date. Would it
be as simple as an extra data entry and changing a couple of lines of
code, or would that go against everything Slash is designed to do?
Thanks for your help.
Request for BLOB/Image Modifications
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/05/11/2227225
I'm really happy with how the BLOB support in slash is working. I can
now add images and files, and I move the select level up so registered
users can only access files. It's great. I'd like to see how hard it
would be to have Krow or someone add in placement tags for images. So
you can "ALIGN=LEFT" or Right images and the like. Thanks!
