heli0 writes "[0]CNet is reporting that Germany has placed EA's newest
Command & Conquer game 'Generals' on its restricted list, which means
it may not be advertised or displayed on shelves although it may be
kept under store counters and sold to adults. The reason according to
Elke Monssen-Engberding, director of the Ministry for Family Affairs:

What's Your Favorite Underappreciated Movie?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/03/27/0151255
Moses Lawn asks: "With the impending re-release of [0]Spirited Away,
I've been wondering about this. There are a lot of movies I love that
no one else seems to know about. Some of them disappeared from theaters
within a week, some came out years ago and seem to have been forgotten.
Here are a few of my favorites: [1]The Hot Rock, [2]The Pope Must Diet
(formerly 'The Pope Must Die'), [3]They Might Be Giants, and [4]The Big
Hit. Maybe you like these, too. Maybe you think they stink up the
joint. So what are your favorite forgotten movies?"

[1]al-Jazeera site is under "cyber-attack." Shortly after posting
photos of mangled Iraqi children the server became unavailable. I don't
have satellite TV to see if they are reporting anything on al-Jazeera

already know, the al-Jazeera channel is a pan-Arabic satellite TV

US Declassifications Delayed. Infrastructure Classification to follow?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/03/26/2140234
kiwimate writes "[0]This article discusses an executive order issued
yesterday which delays the release of millions of historical documents
until the end of 2006. Apparently, the relevant agencies need more time
to study the affected papers, even though it only affects papers more
than 25 years old. Evidently a quarter of a century is not a
sufficiently lengthy review period. For a slightly different version of

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear SourceForge.net Developer, With this sitewide update, I'm pleased
to announce two new enhancements to SourceForge.net. First, we've
implemented new RSS feeds that are accessible to all projects and
developers to aid in the publishing of information and project status
to other sites. Second, SF.NET has added two new download servers,
including our first mirror in Australia. Details below. Progress on IBM
DB2's deployment on SF.NET continues. We are in the final phases of
testing before we rollout it out to SouceForge.net itself. Currently,
only mailing list archives are being powered by DB2. As you might have
noticed in recent weeks, SF.net's project search database has been
overwhelmed at times. As we roll out DB2 to the rest of the site in
April, we expect this issue, and other issues like it to be resolved.
Finally, in this time of global political uncertainty, it is good to be
reminded that Open Source software has no boundaries. The work you do
on your Open Source project benefits countless individuals and nations
in every corner of the globe. Regardless of location, faith, or race,
developers are collaborating together to create software that will not
only benefit themselves, but all of humanity. At a time when it's hard
to see something positive in the news, remember in our own way, the
Open Source community is making a difference. Thank you for supporting
SourceForge.net and the Open Source software movement. As always, if
you have a question or want to share feedback regarding the site,
please feel free to email me directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Pat- Patrick
McGovern Director, SF.NET [EMAIL PROTECTED] New RSS Feeds.
--------------------------------------------- A convenient way to keep
up-to-date with the SourceForge.net site, project news, activity
information, and new projects is now available. SourceForge.net
provides a number of RSS feeds that may be accessed using an RSS reader
or aggregator (some content management systems also allow you include
data from an RSS feed on your website, much as Slashdot and Freshmeat
do in the right sidebar of their layout). Using these RSS feeds, you
can keep up-to-date with the latest project news and file releases,
Site Status updates and SourceForge.net statistics (such as top
projects). Project-specific RSS feeds may now be accessed using the
"View list of RSS feeds available for this project" link on the Summary
page for each project. Information about the full set of the available
SourceForge.net RSS feeds (14 feeds, in all), including information on
the software needed to view RSS feed data and a complete list of the
options available for each RSS feed, may be found at:
https://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=15483&group_id=1
New SF.NET Download mirrors.
--------------------------------------------- SF.NET now has two
additional download mirrors. The first, Flow Communications, is our
first mirror in Australia. We know, from looking at statistics, that
SF.NET has many enthusiastic developers 'down under'. We are very
excited that SF.net now has a server in Australia to allow users in
that part of the world acquire files faster. To learn more about Flow
Communication, please visit their website at: http://www.flow.com.au/
Our second new mirror is Aleron, located in Virgina, USA. Aleron
provides high-speed, high-performance Internet connectivity, data
transmission and value-added network applications for it's customers.
For more information, please visit their website at:
http://www.aleron.com/ The SF.NET team would like to thank Flow
Communications, Aleron, and our other download partners, in helping
distribute Open Source code and Open Source binaries around the world.
Currently SF.NET serves approximately 500,000 files daily and these
mirrors help a great deal in providing global accessibility to all of
the software generated by our 60,000 projects. SourceForge.net's March
2003 Project of the month.
--------------------------------------------- Keeping a team of people
on task and well organized is a difficult chore. There are timelines to
meet, information to organize, and the need to be more efficient.
SourceForge.net's March 2003 Project of the Month helps with all of
these difficult issues. TUTOS, 'The ultimate team organization
Software', is a broad focused Open Source Application targeted at

New release lksctp-2_5_65-0_6_8 available
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=262312
A new release of lksctp based on linux kernel 2.5.65 is available for
download. This includes a kernel patch against 2.5.65 that includes
sctp specific changes that didn't go into 2.5.65; and a lksctp tools
tar ball that includes the user level library and test programs for
sctp users and developers. Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP)
is a reliable, message-oriented, multihomed transport protocol.
Developed by the IETF SIGTRAN working group to transport SS7 over IP,
it is now the third general-purpose transport developed by the IETF.
NOTE: Several users reported build/configure issues for the previous
release of lksctp-tools. We are still investigating this issue, but
have been unable to reproduce this issue locally. If you see the
following error: ... checking for BSD-compatible nm... /usr/bin/nm -B
ltconfig: you must specify a host type if you use `--no-verify' Try
`ltconfig --help' for more information. configure: error: libtool
configure failed make: *** [config.status] Error 1 we'd greatly
appreciate any debugging/fix for the issue. Best Regards, Jon Grimm
SpamAssassin 2.51 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=262344
SpamAssassin is a mail filter to identify spam using text analysis.
Using its rule base, it uses a wide range of heuristic tests on mail
headers and body text, to identify "spam", or unsolicited commercial
email. Download at: http://spamassassin.org/downloads.html If you're
running 2.50, this release is strongly recommended, since 2.50 cannot
expire Bayes tokens from its databases. It's also no longer a beta
release. Changes: - Bayes locking and concurrency issues fixed - Bayes
expiration was not working; fixed - spamd was not enabling Bayes after
auto-learning without restart; fixed - safer way to attach spams, for
broken mail clients, using 'report_safe 2' - a few doco cleanups
