Slashdot CAPPS II Guidelines Released http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/08/01/2012239 [0]W33dz writes "[1]WIRED magazine has released an [2]article detailing the [3]Transportation Safety Administration's latest guidelines for the second-generation Computer Assisted Passenger Prescreening System, or CAPPS II. As outlined in a [4]notice to be published Friday in the Federal Register, CAPPS II will rate every passenger by checking dates of birth, home addresses and phone numbers against commercial databases and the government's terrorist watch lists. This is a pullback from the [5]original plan which called for wide dissemination of data including financial and medical history."

The new test can extract DNA in 15 minutes - even from a print stored for many years and in varying conditions. The patented extraction technique consistently produces ~10 nanograms of DNA. Analysis generally requires 5-10 nanograms, although it is possible with as little as 0.1 nanogram."

XForms uses CSS for device independencence and is designed for integration into [6]XHTML 2, [7]SVG, and other XML-based markup languages. A host of other [8]implementations are available or in progress, but my pick for most interesting is [9]DENG, which is an XForms to Flash compiler written in Flash. DENG supports XForms, SVG, RSS, XHTML, and CSS. XForms is in consideration for other standards as diverse as [10]Universal Remote Controls and the [11]UK Government Interoperability Framework, and was developed with the participation of IBM, Oracle, Xerox, Adobe, Novell, SAP, Cardiff, PureEdge, and a host of [12]other companies, universities, and invididuals."

He also says that the product mentality 'misses the entire point of Linux and the open-source development model.' Because Linux is made up of many different components developed on independent timeframes, Murdock posits, to refer to Linux as a product is to strip it of its dynamism and closes its inherently open nature. Instead, he says that Linux should be viewed as a shared platform and infrastructure technology, and that business models should reflect that or else Linux risks becoming proprietary, closed and just another cookie-cutter piece of software."

Thanks for the code. csdaily.com http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/07/28/0337226 Yet another Slash site, Computer Science Daily News. Aims to be a resource for Computer Science professionals, researchers, students and instructors. Hopefully this fills a niche, computer science developments seem to be very decentralized, and hard to find. Slash seems to be working out nicely, though I'm still learning the ropes... --csdaily Slash on server running Livejournal? http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/07/24/0035257 Maybe this is the wrong venue to ask in, and I'm sorry if it is, but this question has been nagging me for about the past week or so. I have a personal server running Slackware 8 with a custom-compiled Apache 1.3.27 (with the appropriate mod_perl) and MySQL 4.0.13. This server is currently running the LiveJournal server code and works quite well at this. I'm interested in attempting to set up slash for personal use (the Livejournal code is running for personal use as well), and herein lies the question. Can slash be run on the same server in another VirtualHost without having a separate apache installation/process and doing some fancy trick with mod_rewrite? Or am I asking too much? I will be happy to provide any further info anyone needs through e-mail (the e-mail link above is NOT spam-armored at all).

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?
