Security, Due Process and Convenience

    I'm not sure what percentage of these search warrants are unnecessary,

Bulkregister Sues Verisign Over Marketing Campaign
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/05/14/1553205

    [0]zentec writes "An article at Datacenter wire indicates that
    [1]Bulkregister sued Verisign over their often confusing and pretty
    slimy mailing campaign. The campaign is (of course) targeted to domains
    registered somewhere other than Verisign. The mailings are nothing more
    than domain "slamming", and look like [2]renewal bills rather than a
    solicitation to renew with Verisign. What's particularily slimy is that
    the mailings are for renewals on domains either recently renewed with
    someone else, or for domains expiring between 120 and 180 days!
    Bulkregister is also seeking an immediate injunction against the
    mailings saying that they are an impediment to current contracts with
    their customers." There's also a [3]Reuters article, or see [4]our
    original story. Bulkregister has run [5]their own sleazy marketing
    campaign in the past, and [6]paid the price for it.

http://freshmeat.net/releases/84313/

    The superb Debian package installer APT has since some time become
    available for RPM-based distributions. However, to install RPM packages
    with apt, an apt repository is needed. apt4rpm creates the apt

bash programmable completion 20020514 (Default)
http://freshmeat.net/releases/84285/

    Since v2.04, bash has allowed you to intelligently program and extend
    its standard completion behavior to achieve complex command lines with
    just a few keystrokes. Imagine typing ssh [Tab] and being able to
    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.

    files, can be set up as the queue in Qmail, and have virtual users'
    configuration files be found using the username/domain for the
    recipient. Multiple checks are available, and there open options on how
    to treat flagged email. There is logging to multiple entities,
    auto-expiration of flagged email, and scoring available so that

    GLiv is an OpenGL image viewer. Image loading is done through
    Gdk-pixbuf (standalone or bundled with GTK+-2), rendering is done via
    OpenGL, and the graphical user interface uses GTK+ with the GtkGLArea

    scripting languages, an object-relational mapping layer, a built-in
    scripting language and a single OO framework that allows classes to be
    implemented in multiple scripting languages or as shared libraries.

jpegpixi 0.1 (Default)
http://freshmeat.net/releases/84262/

    "Jpegpixi" is short for "JPEG pixel interpolator".
    It is a command-line utility which interpolates pixels in JFIF images
    (commonly refered to as "JPEG images"). This is useful to
    correct images from a digital camera with CCD defects. Jpegpixi is
    unique in that it tries to preserve the quality of the JFIF image as
    much as possible. Most graphics programs decode JFIF images when they
    are loaded, and re-encode them when they are saved, which results in an
    overall loss of quality. Jpegpixi, on the other hand, does not decode
    and re-encode the image, but manipulates the encoded image data,
    protecting the quality of the image as much as possible. 

JpGraph 1.6.3 (Stable)

    Well, what's done is done. Hey, files are accidentally deleted all the
    time. The tough part is that once they've been deleted from your Linux
    system, they're really tough to resurrect! So when you delete critical
    files that aren't backed up, or your backup is too old, you need the
    sort of help that only e2fsprogs can provide.
