ScummVM 0.5.0 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=298448
ScummVM is a cross-platform adventure game interpreter, supporting

available. Along with the usual bugfixes, this version supports several
new games (Enhanced Maniac Mansion/Zak McKracken, Beneath a Steel Sky).
This version has undergone extensive testing, and we are confident it
is our best yet. As a special bonus, Revolution Software Ltd. has
released Beneath a Steel Sky as freeware to coincide with this release.
BASS can be downloaded, along with ScummVM 0.5.0s source and binaries
for many platforms (Windows, Linux, PalmOS, WinCE, Dreamcast, etc),
from our download page (http://www.scummvm.org/downloads.php) For a
more detailed overview of what is new in 0.5.0, please consult our
release notes:

to play and record audio+video. It is optimized for use with a
TV+remote. Because of legal issues, the binary release doesn't contain
Mplayer anymore (and not Xine). Please download Mplayer from
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/design6/dload.html and Xine from
http://xinehq.de/index.php/releases. To have full Xine support in
Freevo, you need xine-ui > 0.9.21. Until Xine releases a new version,
you need a daily snapshot.

Replacing SMTP?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/08/04/2059227
[0]dousette asks: "In reading over one of the [1]RFC's governing the
SMTP protocol, and other RFC's as well, it's interesting to note that
you see some big names and big companies from time to time. With all
the loopholes in the current SMTP specification, is it possible for the
Slashdot collective to come up with another one? Would it stand a
chance in making it into a standard, or do they just listen to Cisco,
AT&T, etc? I realize that a lot of people have a lot of ideas how
things should be done (and they haven't been shy about posting them to
Slashdot), but has anyone tried to write the RFC for a replacement
protocol? As a side note (where I won't be shy about posting how things
should be done), if there were a replacement trusted protocol, one
could have mail received via that protocol bypass spam filtering, id
checking, or whatever checks might be in place (saving processor
cycles, etc). The regular checks could still be done on other mail
received via the 'older' SMTP protocol. If more and more ISP's make use
of this, SMTP could be gradually phased out... or if you are one for a
sudden cut-over, just cut to the new one at the same time as the IPv6
upgrade!"

its relatives. Its benefits include speed; it is the fastest
bitmap-rendering code for DVI files. On a fairly low-end laptop, it
takes less than a second to generate 150 one-formula images.
Furthermore, it does not read the postamble, so it can be started
before TeX finishes. There is a -follow switch that makes dvipng wait
at EOF for further output, unless it finds the POST marker that
indicates the end of the DVI. It supports PK and VF fonts, color
specials, and more.
Eclipse Project 2.1.0-12 (Natively Compiled Eclipse)
http://freshmeat.net/releases/131460/
Eclipse is a kind of universal tool platform - an open extensible IDE
for anything and nothing in particular. The real value of Eclipse comes

its pages in a MySQL, dba/dbm, ADOdb, or a flat file database. The Wiki
source parsing is rather complete but is very extensible. It stands out
from other Wikis in that it does not define the whole page layout
itself; instead it allows for very quick integration into an existing
Web site. The core "library" is fully contained in one script
file, but a collection of extension plugins is also available
(email_protect, imagegallery, calendar, spellcheck, pagediff, etc.).
Additionally, it can cache referenced images. The simplicity of the
image uploading function makes it also a good choice as
"lite" CMS for private homepages.

FirePay 0.9.1
http://freshmeat.net/releases/131590/
FirePay is an implementation of the HashCash/MIME
(application/postage-hashcash) specification. HashCash is an anti-spam,
anti-DoS system for email. The concept centers around the sender of the
mail completing a computationally expensive task (in this case,
generating hash collisions) that the recipient can verify very quickly.
This allows the sender to "pay" for transport in CPU cycles,
creating artificial scarcity. Programs are included to add payment to
messages (for the sender) and to verify message payment (for the
recipient).

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).

QubitNews: News and Inforation from the Quantum Community. This is
conceived as a meeting-point for the community working in the fast
developing field of Quantum Information and Computation. This is an
open and free project devoted to the exchange of information in this
field.: news, stories, announcements, comments of scientific work,
debates, polls, forums, etc... Many aspects of your work that cannot
appear in scientific journals may find a place here. The main feature
of QubitNews is that it is dynamical: you are wellcome to participate
and modify the look and feel of this site. You may become an anonymous
user, site user or an Author. Visit the homepage and consult the
documents About, FAQ, How-To and GettingStarted. It may be useful,
helpful and a lot of fun.
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!

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
