Microsoft and the SPAM Game
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/03/11/223248

The [0]Seattle Times reported a while ago that Microsoft is pushing for
[1]Washington State Senate Bill 5734 which will overturn most of
[2]Washington State's laws that specify monetary penalties for
companies who send out spam. This will completely exempt ISPs from
current Washington spam laws, which Microsoft just happens to be. It
seems that they are [3]jumping the gun a bit. They are having a company
named [4]Digital Impact (save that address for you spam filters) send
the email for them. Thankfully I live in Seattle so maybe I can collect
an easy [5]$500 before Microsoft guts the current law.

Internships in the Post-DotCom Era?

aetherspoon asks: "Reading the [0] Internship at Microsoft story, I was
wondering what paid jobs were actually still out there for CS majors in
the industry. Coming from a CS major who has a stack of 'We're sorry,
but...' letters sitting on his desk, I know that I have not had much
luck in this area. Are there any places left offering good paid
internships?"

Microsoft Writes Off Corel

PizzaFace writes "Microsoft [0]resuscitated Corel two and a half years
ago, paying $135 million for a quarter of Corel's equity ownership.
Corel talked then about [1]bringing its products to .Net, and even
hinted that it might use its Linux expertise [2]to port .Net to Linux.
Since then, Corel gave up on [3]the Linux business and isn't talking
anymore about .Net, but is instead riding [4]its XML hobbyhorse. So
[5]Microsoft is selling its stake in Corel to a VC firm for $13
million, taking a 90% loss on the investment."

from telemarketers. Telemarketers can be fined up to $11K for calling
someone on the list. Politicians, surveys (loophole?) and charities are
exempt from using the list. The FCC oversees certain industries

=&gt; double quotation mark). It's more convenient than iconv, recode,
or ICU if you're stuck with either ASCII, Latin1, or windows-1252. It's
faster in unaccenting (for the supported encodings) then unacc, because
it works on 8-bit characters.

Nettle library 1.7
http://freshmeat.net/releases/115946/

Nettle is a cryptographic library that is designed to fit easily in
more or less any context: in crypto toolkits for object-oriented
languages (C++, Python, Pike, etc.), in applications like LSH or GNUPG,
or even in kernel space. In most contexts, you need more than the basic
cryptographic algorithms; you also need some way to keep track of
available algorithms and their properties and variants. You often have
some algorithm selection process, often dictated by a protocol you want
to implement. And as the requirements of applications differ in subtle
and not so subtle ways, an API that fits one application well can be a
pain to use in a different context, which is why there are so many
different cryptographic libraries around. Nettle tries to avoid this
problem by doing one thing, the low-level crypto stuff, and providing a
simple but general interface to it. In particular, Nettle doesn't do
algorithm selection. It doesn't do memory allocation. It doesn't do any
I/O. The idea is that one can build several application- and
context-specific interfaces on top of Nettle and share the code,
testcases, benchmarks, documentation, etc.

ogmencoder 0.8
http://freshmeat.net/releases/115949/

ogmencoder is a Perl script that uses MPlayer/Mencoder and Transcode to
create an OGM (audio Vorbis) backup of your DVD, ready to be burned to
a CD-R. OGG (but the usual extension for the video files is OGM) is the
file format for multimedia developed by the Xiph.org Foundation. It is
very similar to the common Microsoft AVI. The main difference between
OGM and AVI is that the new format can store audio with the Ogg Vorbis
codec. With this codec, you can decrease the bitrate of your movies (I
use 64 kbps), saving space to increase the video bitrate. Ogmencoder is
completely automatic. Basically, the only thing you have to do is to
insert the DVD in the reader and launch the program.

Streetnoise.org - Your Daily Political Roller Coaster
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/03/10/1820238

Without further ado, here are the fruit of my last 12 weekends. The
site runs on 2.6.6 and I probably won't touch it until there is a more
decent upgrade strategy. Let me know if you like it and if you're
interested in politics, please don't be shy and post a story when you
run into something outrageous (which is easy these days).

New Features!
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/03/10/0322236

So bunch of new features are in the latest CVS. Including image and
file support int stories. Other hight lights include: Slash::Relocate,
an href tool that changes all of your links on your site to
relocateable links. Coming soon to this will be a task to track if the
link is dead or not (and give you an alternate link to google if it
is). Slash meta language. Now in stories (and soon in Journals) you can
use custom slash links to do all sorts of nifty little things. If you
notice the story before this one with the like to you will noticed the
hyper link to their homepage. Plus if you are logged in it will show
you your Zoo Relationships. Finally, we now have image and file support
with stories. Here is with his cat. Multi page documents are now
supported by using the SLASH tag language. Bunch more that I am
probably forgetting....

Storing Variable Calues
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/03/10/0216217

Another questions about template editing, but more specifically about
grabbing everything in an existing site that you've optimized and
converting that information into something you can use in a theme. I've
asked questions previously about templates and boxes (thanks to
lottadot and ), but now I'd be interested to find out if I can grab
things like site variables and menu alterations and stuff like that
from the database, and put them in a form that is convenient to install
in a new site. My guess is that it'll be in the form of some sql
queries that need to be run on initial installation (in the sql_prep
and _dump files in the theme)? Can anyone help me out? Is there an easy
way to do it? If there isn't, why hasn't this been implemented?

Innodb and Slash
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/03/09/1952228

I'm wondering if people are using Innodb with Slash. The big issue
seems to be converting tables that have FULLTEXT on them (like
stories). Anyone know if there are any advantages to having Innodb
tables?

File Management System?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/03/09/0559213

Krow added Blob support for stories. That is great, however, it stores
all the info into a database. How hard would it be to design a plugin
that works more like the gallery plugin for slash. IE: To be able to
add PDF/Mp3s/Images, etc, into a story or comment, but have it stored
in a directory or something rather than the database.

Privatized user journals?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/03/07/1824248

Is there any way to privatize user journals? I've noticed on the new
slashdot site that the ability to privatize your journal is offered if
you're a paid subscriber, is this a feature available in slashcode? If
not, any ideas on how to implement this? --TorinEdge

Changing Boxes in a Template
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/03/07/1758241

A similar question to my one about templates earlier, but I've created
specific QuickLinks boxes and things I'd like to make part of my
template. Is there any way these can be grabbed from the database as
well, and used as my boxes? Actually, now that I think about it, would
it be better to just delete any (perhaps all) of the boxes, and just
create my own, putting them in appropriate locations myself. If I
choose to do the latter, can I make specific boxes a part of my
template? Or would I need to create a new Boxes plugin or something
that can put them in my site for me? I know I keep firing questions off
to you guys about what probably seems to be simple stuff, but if
nothing else it's at least providing some info about what might be
handy to have available in the future for simpler customisation.

Mandrake.Net
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/03/06/1841236

It took 6 years to update my code after I handed rob the set of perl
code I hacked out to run my site, but finally I changed mandrake.net
over to running slash. I'm still working on bringing over the last of
the content from the old site, and still tweaking everything (I still
have the default slash color scheme) but it looks pretty good so far.

Email password problem
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/03/06/1753230

Hi, My site does not seem to send out password emails to new users at
all, and also leaves this message in dailystuff.log: Can't call method
"bulkmail" on an undefined value at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5
.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/Slash/Utility/System. pm line 168. I am
still relatively a newbie to slash, and I attempted to search for this
message - but have seen no ref to it yet. I have also listed the users
in mysql to make sure there arent any wierd email addresses.
