granting an injunction preventing RIM from making, using, or offering
to sell handhelds, services or software in the U.S. until the date of
expiration of NTP's patents, the latest of which is May 20, 2012. The

[0]securitas writes "[1]Martin Taylor was [2]recently appointed as
Microsoft's open source and Linux strategist and is responsible for
[3]Microsoft's open source and Linux test lab, mentioned on Slashdot
last week. Taylor says his goal is to [4]change Microsoft's competitive
strategy by pursuing a fact-based approach instead of continuing the
previous discredit-and-undermine strategy that was characterized by
calling open source and Linux software 'a cancer, un-American and
bankrupt' among other things. Taylor says he plans to focus on (and
fund) studies that 'will highlight Microsoft's advantages in areas such
as security, feature-completeness and total cost of ownership.'"

Who Owns Source Code When a Company Folds?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/08/05/1920207
[0]pipeb0mb asks: "A few years ago, I worked for Chilliware, Inc. as
the 'Technical Development Manager'. Some of you may remember us for
the software iceSculptor, Mohawk and Mentor. Chilliware folded rather
quickly and harshly back in May of 2001 due to money issues. Within
days of the first layoff, everyone was gone, from the CEO and VP's to
the receptionist. Now, years later, I've been digging through some old
CDs, and am reminded that I still have the final production source code
for the products we released in the retail channel. I've attempted to
contact several folks over the past couple of years to gather
information about the software and who owns it now. To no avail though.
Either I get an 'I don't know' or 'No one' from the dis-interested
parties. I feel like these programs are my children that never got a
fair shot. I hate to see so much work wasted and lost to the ages. So,
Slashdot: What do I do with this source code? It's a great deal of well
commented and well written code, performed by over 100 developers in a
former Soviet Republic (who formerly worked with Boomerang Software).
Where do my binary children go now?" As things are now, if a company
folds, the code is buried and forgotten unless someone buys the rights
to it, before the source code is lost. This issue was discussed [1]a
long time ago and there didn't seem to be much in the way of answers.
Have 3 years made any difference?

rate with less than a 0.03% chance of false positives.

networks. Such control eliminates the common hidden-node effect even on
large scale wireless networks. It is currently only available for Linux
wireless ateways using iptables firewalls, with plans to develop a
Windows client in the future. It works by scheduling the traffic of
each client, using a master node to coordinate actions. This eliminates
collisions and prevents clients with stronger signals from receiving
bandwidth bias. It has been developed and tested on the large community
wireless network of WaFreeNet, and has been found to give a significant
improvment in the network usability.

Instantiated", and all other responses come from the Gander-served

remotely administer the file systems of multiple Unix machines. At its
core, radmind operates as a tripwire. It is able to detect changes to
any managed filesystem object, e.g. files, directories, links, etc.
However, radmind goes further than just integrity checking: once a
change is detected, radmind can optionally reverse the change. Each
managed machine may have its own loadset composed of multiple, layered
overloads. This allows, for example, the operating system to be
described separately from applications. Loadsets are stored on a remote
server. By updating a loadset on the server, changes can be pushed to
managed machines.
rdiff-backup 0.13.0 (Development)

stored in a special directory so you can still recover files lost some
time ago. The idea is to combine the best features of a mirror and an
incremental backup. rdiff-backup can also operate in a bandwidth-
efficient manner over a pipe, like rsync. Thus you can use rdiff-backup
and ssh to securely back up to a remote location, and only the
differences will be transmitted. It can also handle symlinks, device
files, permissions, ownership, etc., so it can be used on the entire
file system.

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...

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).

Tuxedo.org Now running Slashcode
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/07/23/2014232
Tuxedo.org is now running Slashcode. I should have done this a couple
of years ago... Most recent story is Linus Torvalds Comments on SCO
Lawsuit and Linux. Hope you all enjoy the new site! --Chuck Peters
Best hosting service for Slash?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/07/23/1449209
I'm going to be doing some "big things" with Slashcode but am
interested in going through someone to set up Slashcode and the server,
so that I can just right in and start building the site. What are the
best hosting services out there? Will they set up Slash for me? What
kinds of experiences have people had?
Dissociated Press goes Slash
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/07/23/1442252
After a bit of poking and prodding, I've converted Dissociated Press to
Slashcode (2.2.6). Works great!
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!

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
