Hacking the Actiontec 56k Modem/Gateway
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/09/01/0245257
william_lorenz writes "The [0]Actiontec Dual 56k External Modem is an
inexpensive device with a built-in 56k modem and two Ethernet ports
that can be used as an Internet gateway of sorts. What's great about it
is that it runs some form of [1]uClinux, it's easily hackable, and Greg
Boehnlein of the [2]Linux Users Group of Cleveland and [3]NOOSS fame
recently contributed a [4]detailed report on his findings! Pictures of
the board are also available [5]here, [6]here, and [7]here. Lots of
specific details are included in [4]Greg's article, and there's been
some further discussions about this on the LUGC mailing lists."

University Textbook Exchange Software
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/08/31/226208
[0]PageMap writes "With the textbook-buying season upon us, many
universities and student organizations are attempting to combat the
on-campus bookstore's overcharging by starting up their own grassroots
book exchange efforts. The problem is the seeming lack of available
web-based software to facilitate an efficient book exchange. Is there
such a thing as free web-based software made for this type of use?"

Segway Riders Get High on Mount Washington

[0]surged up Mount Washington at 12.5 mph, the AP reports. It took the
Segway riders two and half hours to complete the 7.6 mile endurance
test. The team used six batteries, fought off 50 mph winds and battled
bitter cold to reach the 6,288-foot mountain summit. All of which begs
the question, why not buy a motorbike?"

Scientists Crack Silk's Secret
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/08/31/1531231
AEton writes "Researchers at Tufts University [0]have reportedly
discovered the mechanism by which spidersilk is produced. Besides the
obvious use as a Kevlar substitute in bulletproof vests, silk has
applications in [1]microprocessor production, [2]nanoscale optical
fiber, a and any other application requiring strength and flexbility.
Scientists have long grappled with the issue of creating silk;
artificial silk is inferior to the real stuff, and the spiders can't be
farmed (when you put them too close together, they eat each other). The
method these Tufts researchers have found makes "strong silk"
production feasible; if they can make it economical, the impact on
safety equipment alone makes this material a worthwhile investment."

feature-complete, but portable, framework for evolutionary computation
now have the open-source GAUL as a viable option." GAUL is already
applied in many important domains, including protein structure
prediction and drug discovery. With release of this new version, GAUL
becomes available to a larger community of research scientists and
software developers. About GAUL: The Genetic Algorithm Utility Library
(or, GAUL for short) is an OSI certified programming library for
evolutionary computation. It is a copyrighted work released under the
