This is should be the last version prior to the stable 2.4.0 release.
Please test this release as much as possible. Turck MMCache is a PHP
Accelerator, Optimizer, Encoder and Dynamic Content Cache. It increases
performance of PHP scripts by caching them in compiled state, so that
the overhead of compiling is almost completely eliminated. Also it uses
some optimizations for speed up of PHP scripts execution. Turck MMCache
typically reduces server load and increases the speed of your PHP code
by 1-10 times. It has been tested with PHP 4.1.0 - 4.3.2 under Linux
and Windows with Apache 1.3 and 2.0. HTTP caching of mmcache.php was
disabled. Usage of POSIX semaphors on Mac OS X was disabled. Handling
of scripts with PHP syntax errors was fixed. ZE2 support was improved
(tested with php5-200308140730).

Our Solar System's Nomenclature Wars
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/08/20/2221243
RobotRunAmok writes "Plutinos, Centaurs, Cubewanos - the names Detroit
has given some of their next gen SUVs? Nope. They are among the many
colorful, and, some complain, confusing names which astronomers have
given to celestial objects in the last decade. Ever wonder about the
system of organization which astronomers use to name new space rocks?
Apparently, so have many astronomers, because, according a
Yahoo!/Space.com article, it's [0]neither very systematic nor
organized. Fear not: some clever star-minded chaps from Oxford and
Cambridge have a plan to wring some order from the damp dishrag of
astro-nomenclature chaos."

Matrix Revolutions Trailer Released
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/08/21/016251
[0]aerojad writes "The new Matrix Revolutions trailer is now
[1]available for download [2](direct link) on the official site. If you
have plugin/bandwidth issues, there are also [3]BitTorrent links
available. For those wondering, there is more to it than you saw at the
end of Reloaded." In related news, an anonymous reader points to the
BBC News report that: "The makers of the Matrix films are
[4]considering only promoting the third film, Matrix Revolutions, for
next year's Oscars. Warners, which produced the films, had considered
pushing for both of them to be nominated as a single entry because they
were shot on the same 240-day shoot, but the academy refused."

SCO: Code Proof Analyzed, Linus Interviewed
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/08/20/2350225
Arker writes "Bruce Perens has now obtained a copy of the entire slide
show from which the recently scrutinized [0]SCO-related Linux code
excerpts came, and has [1]analyzed the remainder of the 'evidence' they
presented there. Their other code exhibit turns out to have been the
venerable Berkeley Packet Filter(!), and their revised line-counts are
consistent with simply adding together all the lines of code that have
been contributed by Unix licensees." Also, Iphtashu Fitz writes "A [2]
new interview with Linus Torvalds has been posted on eWeek.com. In it
he slams SCO over the recently leaked source code. Among other things,
he points out in the interview that some of the code in question has
been removed from the 2.6 kernel ['because developers complained about
how "ugly" it was'] before SCO even started complaining."

Ocean Sponge May Be Best for Fiber Optics
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/08/20/234249
TheViffer writes "ABC News is reporting that scientists say they've
identified an ocean sponge, living in the darkness of the deep sea,
that grows thin glass fibers capable of [0]transmitting light better
than industrial fiber optic cables used for telecommunication. 'You can
actually tie a knot in these natural biological fibers and they will
not break - it's really quite amazing,' said Joanna Aizenberg, who led
the research at Bell Laboratories."

Japan's Proposed 30-Year Robot Program
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/08/20/2051215
[0]Gallamine writes "A group of Japanese [1]researchers have proposed a
Government plan to spend 50 billion yen per year (that's over 400
million $US) for 30 years on developing a robot with capabilities of a
5-year-old. Japan's current economy may prevent the plan from
happening, but the interesting point is the parallels to the U.S.
Apollo space program, America's attempt to put a man on the moon. While
expensive, the benefits to the American population from that program
are probably unmeasurable. Perhaps the U.S. Government should consider
funding such a program over here?"

according to [0]eWeek, looking more than ten years down the road when,
they say, chip makers are going to have to have [1]totally new chip
fabrication technologies. Quantum gates? Indium Phosphide? Let's keep
in mind that Moore's Law was more an observation than a predictive law
of nature, despite how people treat it that way."

Divx Now Adware Supported Only
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/08/20/1940202
[0]bogomip_bandit writes "The divx codec is no longer free, no strings
attached. Until recently, when downloading the codec from divx.com, one
could select Dr Divx for a price, Divx Pro for a price, the divx codec
for free, or the divx codec with bundled adware to help support divx
development etc. Recently the site has changed. Now when one visits the
[1]download page, the only free codec you can download is adware
supported. This means even to just watch divx movies and not do any
actual enncoding, one has to install adware on their machine. I for one
will be finding a different video codec." Sounds like a good reason (if
you needed one) to look curiously at [2]Ogg Theora. Update: 08/20 20:04
GMT by [3]T: Correction: As several readers have pointed out, the bare
codec is still available, it's just listed below the payware / adware
versions.

Microsoft Tracking Behavior of Newsgroup Posters
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/08/20/1254232
[0]theodp writes "Ever get the feeling your Usenet newsgroup list is
being watched? By Microsoft? If so, consider yourself right. An
[1]interesting but troubling CNET interview with Microsoft's in-house
sociologist goes into how the software giant is keeping a close eye on
newsgroups and other public e-mail lists, tracking and rating
contributors' social habits and determining "people who the system has
shown to have value." Those concerned that it's not a good idea for
computers to track their belongings and whereabouts are advised that
they may ultimately have to fragment their identities, keeping multiple
IDs and e-mail addresses."

about Doom. Less people are familiar with Wolf3D, and even fewer people
ever played any of the Commander Keen games. But those of us who played
them when they were cutting edge games couldn't wait for what would
come next. To hard-core gamers, these games were amazing, and
important. The change came with DOOM; suddenly everyone was interested
in this groundbreaking game." Kevin reviews below David Kushner's

Slashcode
Slash on Mac OS X
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/08/12/158239
This is how I installed Slash on Mac OS X Server 10.2.6 on August 8,
2003. YMMV. This is not intended to be a tutorial, it is a log of what
I did for my system. You may wish to use a release version of perl, to
include different Apache modules, to compile with DSO, etc. Whatever.
If someone wants to take some or all of this information and include it
in a more comprehensive guide, be my guest.
How to Force Previewing?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/08/08/1931216
An anonymous user writes: "I'd like to see an option added to enable a
user to force themselves to preview a post before they actually post
the comment. At the moment, a user is required to preview a story
submission before they post it, but there is no way for this
requirement to be there for standard posts. I often find myself hitting
'submit' when I wish I'd previewed first. I know that a 'force post
preview' option could be added to the options section and implemented
in SLASH *very* easily, which would simply remove the 'Submit' button
from the initial post screen... so could someone do it? I'd do it
myself if I was able to update the CVS source :-)" This is a one-liner
change... details follow...

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).

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

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!
