Tom's Hardware Looks At WinFS
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/06/17/2337253
[0]Alizarin Erythrosin writes "Tom's Hardware Guide has [1]an article
about the new WinFS file system. The article talks first about some of
the problems and advantages with FAT[16|32] and NTFS, then talks
briefly about WinFS. Here is the summary: 'Microsoft is breaking new
ground with Longhorn, successor to XP. The upcoming WinFS file system
will be the first to be context-dependent, and promises to make long
search times and wasted memory a thing of the past. Today, THG compares
it to FAT and NTFS.' Personally, I still have reservations about using
a relational database to keep track of files. Unless they can keep the
overhead to a minimum, I can't see it being as efficient as a file
system should be."

Working with ADHD?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/06/18/0024228
Famanoran asks: "I've recently been diagnosed ADHD[0]? and am now
taking Ritalin. I've found that it helps me rather significantly, but
I'm keen to try other things that may help. My question is to the
ADHD'ers on slashdot: How have you coped with ADHD, and how have you
found it affect your work performance? Do you object to having ADHD?
Have you tried natural alternatives such as DPA/EPA (Omega3), 5-HTP
(natural precursor to serotonin), and what were your results? Also -
How do you find it working in groups of people, either as the only
ADHD'er there, or in a group of ADHD'ers? Do you think that your ADHD
contributes to your abilities technically, or is it a hinderance?"
Previously, Ask Slashdot dealt with [1]ADHD in children, now what
suggestion do you have for the grown-ups, with the additional burden of
a career, who find themselves in the same situation?

EU Moves Towards Single European Patent Standard

[0]theodp writes "A European Parliament committee Tuesday moved toward
setting the first pan-European standard for software patents, but
[1]outlawed the U.S. practice of patenting business methods, such as
Amazon's one-click Internet shopping. 'The European law sets the right
benchmark rather than the looser U.S. system,' said the director of
public policy for Europe at the Business Software Alliance, which
represents 20 software companies including Microsoft and Apple. Amazon
representatives in Brussels declined to comment on the new European

ICANN Stacks Board with Non-Critical Appointees
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/06/17/171217
[0]Froomkin writes "ICANN's outgoing dissident Board member, Andy
Mueller-Maguhn, has leaked the slate that ICANN's so-called [1]NomCom
(actually an appointments committee) has picked. The new public
representatives are mostly a mix of incumbent ICANN Board directors who
don't rock the boat, corporate executives, and ISOC members. Dissident
Andy Mueller-Maguhn got replaced by a former member of the board of
Deutsche Telekom. Dissident Karl Auerbach (who had to [2]sue ICANN to
get to see its documents) got replaced by the President of the U.S.
Council for International Business. At least the [3]Board Squatters are
finally going to be history. Details at [4]ICANNWatch." ICANN is an
interesting study in how a ruling regime can usurp a democratic
institution and turn it into an autarchy.

PCGen 5.1.6 is available
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=284520
PCGen is a Java-based RPG character generator and maintenance program
that works on all platforms (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, etc). All
datafiles are ASCII so they can be modified by users, and are available
through the pcgendm project. An XML conversion is underway. Mac OS X
users - if you quit PCGen using close or quit, your preferences will
not be saved. The preference files are only saved if you use the
File->Exit menu item to exit PCGen. This is a java issue (our thanks to
Conor for finding the reason for this long-standing issue!) For users
who have trouble getting the 3 zip files to unzip properly, we have
some OS-specific installs that should help minimize the chance of
install related errors. Links to these installs can be found at:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pcgen/files/Alternate%20PCGen%20Releases/
These are the same PCGen everyone else uses, just packaged with
installers which target Windows and Mac OS X users specifically.
Typically there is a lag between when the official release is done and
when these special installers are ready. We always recommend that users
install new versions of PCGen in a 'new' directory. Below is a list of
everything that has been addressed in this release. If you reported one
of these, please verify that it is was addressed properly. PCGen is
available at http://pcgen.sourceforge.net , and the main discussion
group is at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pcgen . If you wish to
discuss making your own custom lst files for use with PCGen, the data
monkeys have made their home at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pcgenlistfilehelp and they pride
themselves in being able to field all questions about the data - from
very basic to very advanced. All three zips are required to run PCGen:
pcgen516_part1of3.zip, pcgen516_part2of3.zip and pcgen516_part3of3.zip.

PHPSurveyor release 0.97 Final
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=285184
PHPSurveyor, a set of PHP Scripts for developing, and publishing online
surveys, makes its final 0.97 release. 0.97 concentrated on
implementing templates so that users could develop their own 'look and
feel' to their surveys. This release includes 3 templates. Releases
with the 0.98 moniker will be aimed at implementing localisation for
the public survey screens, and some additional features like
date/time-stamping of survey responses and a better way of ordering
pre-defined answers.
OpenEJB 0.9.2 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=282705
The 0.9.2 release is one that the whole team is quite proud of. OpenEJB
0.9.0 marked are first release with special Tomcat embedded support.
Thanks to all the user feedback that support has just gotten better and
better. The 0.9.2 release contains a neat surprise for OpenEJB/Tomcat
users -- TOOLS! The new integration features a webapp with a setup
verifier, JNDI browser, EJB viewer, Class browser, and even an Object
invoker! You can browse the OpenEJB namespace and know right away
exactly where the ejb is and what it is called. When you find one you
like, just click it and it will open up into the EJB viewer. While
there you can check out it's home, remote and bean classes in the class
browser. The Object invoker allows you to actually create and invoke
your EJBs without writing a single line of code. OpenEJB 0.9.2 also
contains a new openejb.base variable to complement the openejb.home
variable. The openejb.base variable allows you to have several
configurations of OpenEJB all running against the same OpenEJB install.
This makes using OpenEJB in IDEs like Eclipse or NetBeans even easier.
Move the openejb_loader-0.9.2.jar into your project's lib directory,
set the openejb.base, and you'll be debugging your EJB apps
front-to-back without the need for remote debugging support or special
editor plug-ins. Thanks to all the OpenEJB users for all the great
ideas! You speak, we listen.
