11 Digit Dialing Comes Home to New York
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/01/21/1324203
[0]Traicovn writes "The [1]NY Times (free registration, yadda yadda) is
carrying an [2]article about 11 digit dialing coming to the city of New
York for all phone calls, including inner city calls. Yes, that means
even to dial across the street you will have to dial 1-xxx-xxx-xxxx.
Eventually as the phone number system fills up because of more people
having cellphones/pager/fax and a home/office phone line we may see
this happening in more cities across the nation or the [3]NANPA may
have to intervene by making phone numbers longer in general."

Bad News From Canada On NetTV And Media Levies
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/01/21/0059216
twilight30 writes "[0]Canadian regulators ruled Friday that it is
illegal to put broadcast TV signals onto the Internet without
permission, dashing the hopes of entrepreneurs hoping to create new Net
TV businesses. An alternate link to the original at CNet is [1]here."
And [2]Dr Caleb writes "In response to this [3] Slashdot story I
emailed my Member of Parlament. He responded to me today to say that
"Despite strong opposition by the Canadian Alliance to these and other
aspects of the bill, the Minister of Canadian Heritage won the day and
Bill C-32 Copyright Legislation is now law." And further to say "The
law assumes guilt that everyone who buys a blank tape or CD is pirating
music - but anyone who uses CDs for data storage, for instance, knows
that's not true!" Distressing that the bill has passed, but refreshing
that my MP 'gets it'!"

Publication Bans In A Borderless World
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/01/20/2147238
slantyyz writes "Wired has a story on a [0]publication ban imposed by a
Canadian court on the Canadian media in a well-publicized serial murder
case. Now this ban doesn't apply to foreign media per se, but given the
borderless nature of the Internet, it leads one to wonder about the
efficacy of such a ban. Canadians clearly have access to the American
media channels online. The last major publication ban occurred in the
early nineties with another Canadian serial murder case involving
[1]Paul Bernardo. It was effective to the point that the Internet was
still a young medium, but even then, there were a few newsgroups
created that were dedicated to spreading rumours about the ongoing
trial."

An anonymous reader points to this [0]Wall Street Journal article,
writing "According to the U.S. Court of International Trade, the X-Men
(along with other figures from the Marvel universe) aren't human. The
presiding judge subjected the figures to "comprehensive examinations"
which included "the need to remove the clothes of the figure."
Ironically, the X-Men, whose struggle for human acceptance has been a
key theme in the series, were more easily classified as non-human than
Kraven and Mole Man.

SCons 0.10 is now available
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=244414
SCons alpha release 0.10 is now available for download. SCons is a
software construction tool (build tool, or substitute for Make)
implemented in Python, based on the winning design in the Software
Carpentry build tool competition (in turn based on the Cons build
tool). IMPORTANT: Release 0.10 contains the following interface
changes: - The meaning of the third argument passed to user-defined
Scanner functions has changed. It was formerly the target node being
built, and is now a list of directories (a path) which may be searched
for files found during the scan. - The .sconsign files are no longer
ASCII text, they are now a pickled (binary) Python data structure. This
release adds the following features: - SCons now prints a description
of Python functions being executed as actions to update a target. -
Scanners now support a "recursive" attribute that specifies the Scanner
will be re-applied to files found during the scan. - A new Clean()
method supports removing user-specified files when using the -c option.
- New SetJobs() and GetJobs() method support setting or fetching the
default number of jobs. - The MinGW tool chain is now supported. - A
new --debug=includes option has been added. The following fixes have
been added: - SCons now symlinks or copies files from Repositories on
different file systems, when hard links won't work. - The Install()
method prints something when the -n option is used. - When the -n
option is used, SCons no longer creates duplicate source files in a
BuildDir(). - The Program() Builder (and other multiple-step Builders)
now work properly when only the source file is specified. - A bug when
building a file whose basename matched the directory in which it lived
has been fixed. - The -c options will now properly remove symlinks. -
The Environment.get() now returns None by default. - Error messages now
all start with "scons: ***". - Warning messages now all start with
"scons: warning:". Performance has been improved as follows: - Scanners
are now called once and only once per file. - Internal checks for
whether a file has a Builder have been significantly sped up. -
Unnecessary internal imports have been removed. The following changes
have been made to the SCons packaging: - The scons-local packages no
longer contain Python bytecode (*.pyc) files. The documentation has
been improved: - The initial explanation of SConscript files has been
improved. - A misformatted table in the StaticObject description has
been fixed. - New features have been documented.
