Uni Students Slammed For Music Swapping
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/02/18/036207
[0]jomaree writes "The SMH Online reports that Sony, EMI and Universal
will be in the Federal Court today, in an attempt [1]to stop students
using uni computers to swap music files. Michael Speck, the director of
Music Industry Piracy Investigations, is quoted as follows: 'And we're
not talking about one track here, one track there,' he said. 'We're
talking piracy, significant examples of piracy.' By contrast, Sydney
Uni says it knows of one student with a handful of files on a website,
which does actually sound quite a bit like one track here, one track
there."

Baby Bell Deregulation Bill Fails To Pass In Kansas
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/02/17/2140247
Masem writes "A rather interesting debate has been happening in Kansas
recently that has been mirrored across the country, in that the baby
Bells have been trying to urge state governments to remove the
restrictions for them to offer their lines to outside parties; in
exchange, the Bells have been promising to develop a strong broadband
network in the state. (See, for example, [0]this and [1]this story on
DSL Reports for efforts in Missouri and South Carolina.) However, the
legislative commission in the Kansas House of Representatives that
oversees the telecomm industry has [2]voted against such deregulation,
citing concerns on monopolies and competition, despite heavy lobbying
by SBC in favor of the bill. SBC has stated that they will now put
their broadband deployment plans in Kansas on hold, but look towards
the outcome of similar discussions on the same bill on the Senate side
of the Kansas Congress."

Computers Will Be Built By Living Cells
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/02/17/1937205
[0]axxackall contributes a link to [1]Richard Black's report on BBC
suggesting that "Computers of the future will be built not by factory
machines, but by living cells such as bacteria. Scientists 'have
described how wires can now be made by yeast organisms, and how solar
panels could be built using substances produced by sea sponges.
Researchers believe these kind of technologies will be essential if we
are to continue to shrink the size of electronic devices.' But
'Computers made with these natural processes are not just around the
corner -- it will be many years before the technologies can be
developed that far.' While scientists think about small sizes and
environmental benefits, I also think if it would be possible to implant
such bacteria for additional computational power in human brains --
just in case we have to upgrade them." Update: 02/17 20:23 GMT by [2]T:

CEE2003: A One-Vendor Trade Show
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/02/17/1851240
[0]Billy Stephens writes "Few people knew about the CEE2003 event put
on by Chaintech this year. They flew some of the top media analysts and
resellers out to Spain to show off their new K8 motherboards and Nvidia
Geforce FX based video cards. Unfortunately there was a lot of bad news
to be had as well. AMD pushed back their Athlon 64 CPU until September
so there were no motherboards based on it to show off, and Nvidia
announced they would only release around 4,000 of their Geforce FX
GPUs, primarily for preorders only. It looks like ATI has rattled
Nvidia more than what people thought. Monkey Review has a great
[1]summary of this event with plenty of pictures. Overall I am
impressed with the quality Chaintech has put into their products from
an aesthetic point of view, it's a shame that both Nvidia and AMD are
having product issues."

Palladium's Power To Deny
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/02/17/1740211
[0]BrianWCarver writes "The Chronicle of Higher Education has the most
[1]detailed article I've yet seen on Microsoft's Palladium
architecture. The article discusses the potential Palladium has to give
publishers power to eliminate fair use and the potential for software
manufacturers to use Palladium to enforce shrink-wrap licenses.
Comments from several great sources including, Ed Felten ([2]Freedom to
Tinker), Eben Moglen (pro-bono counsel for the [3]Free Software
Foundation and recent [4]Slashdot interviewee), and Seth Schoen
([5]Electronic Frontier Foundation) among many others. Key quotations
from article: Palladium could create 'a closed system, in which each
piece of knowledge in the world is identified with a particular owner,
and that owner has a right to resist its copying, modification, and
redistribution. In such a scenario the very concept of fair use has
been lost.' 'Palladium will "turn the clock back" to the days before
online information was widely available.' and 'Microsoft could decide
to lock everything up.'"

scheduling is done in a cooperative way, i.e. the threads are
dispatched based on priority and pending events. The event facility

JSX2 0.1.8
http://freshmeat.net/releases/113336/
In one line, JSX2 externalizes object data as XML, so it can be
distributed, stored, and processed independently of the code that
created it. In another line, that data can be deserialized back into
objects. JSX uses the JOS API, and so works for all objects, complex
object graphs, dynamically adjusts to recompiled classes, and enables
classes to customize their serial form for evolution. The XML format
for JSX2 is much easier to process than that of JSX.
Kernel Mode Linux 2.5.61_001 (For Linux 2.5)
http://freshmeat.net/releases/113365/
Kernel Mode Linux is a technology which enables the execution of user
programs in a kernel mode. In Kernel Mode Linux, user programs can
access kernel address space directly. Unlike kernel modules, user
programs are executed as ordinary processes (except for their privilege
level), so scheduling and paging are performed as usual. Although it
seems dangerous, the safety of the kernel can be ensured through such
methods as static type checking, software fault isolation, and so
forth.

Commentary: The Greatest Flaw In Linux
http://newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/15/1342225
- By Patrick 'LinuxAddict' Pauwels - The largest flaw with Linux is not
in its ease of use or installation. There's no crisis with lack of
software. The hardware support is solid. Actually, I feel Linux is very

When I first got in touch with the Linux world - it was back in 1998
-, I started with an old Slackware distribution. Of course I cannot say
it was a wise choice for a beginner, and I soon moved to Red Hat, and
then tried various SuSE, Mandrake and Debian flavours; now I am using
this good Slackware 8.1. Everyone can see the Linux world has been
making giant steps towards usability during the last five years.

Squid-3.x starting to shape up
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=252490
During the last months the Squid developers (mostly Robert) have been
busy creating a new breed of Squid which will be named Squid-3.X. Squid
is a high-performance proxy caching server for Web clients, supporting
FTP, gopher, and HTTP data objects. The major changes in Squid-3.0
compared to Squid-2.5 are related to the the internal design of Squid
and not very visible externally. The big news is that Squid is now
written in C++ while Squid-2.X and earlier were all written in C. In
terms of functionality Squid-3.0 only have minor improvements, but the
hope is that with the transition to C++ and a large scale cleanup of
the code the Squid-3 code will be a lot easier to maintain and extend
in the future. Gradually more and more components of the Squid
internals will be transitioned and cleaned up from a tangled C mess
with many not always apparent dependencies between different modules to
a more structured and isolated C++ classes.

PLEASE READ THE CHANGELOG.txt and README.txt *** Most questions folks
have asked are answered in the CHANGELOG.txt or the README.txt or
TROUBLESHOOTING.txt. Please check them over before you report a problem
- it's good for you (quick resolution) and the community in general
(saves resources for the new issues). Thanks in advance! -- A brief
summary of new features: * Support for Replay 4xxx and 5xxx units *
New, efficiant/clean/single window interface - Combined single window
DVR Explorer - Context sensitive menus (regular and popup) - Full Drag
and Drop support * Ability to store show files using the shows title
(vs numbers) in your local guide * New XML based guides (no more guide
corruption) * Fixes to eliminate lockups * Ability to remotely turn
ReplayTV off (to free up time and speed up downloads) * Ability to edit
ALL information about a show (including date/time, ratings, etc) *
Periodic renegotiation of time offset (so that DVA keeps working even
if your computers clock drifts over time - useful when DVA is left
running all the time) There is really a lot more - the item about a new
User interface is deceptive as this has literally dozens of
changes/enhancements contained in it.
