slrn 0.9.8.0 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=304279
Slrn (``S-Lang read news'') is a Usenet newsreader that runs in text
mode on various Unix- and Unix-like operating systems (including
Linux), Windows, OS/2, BeOS, MacOS X and VMS. It supports scoring rules
to highlight, sort or kill articles to make reading news more
efficient. Furthermore it is highly customizable, allows free
key-bindings and can be extended using the S-Lang macro language.
Offline reading is possible using either slrnpull (shipped with slrn)
or a local newsserver like leafnode or INN. The new version of slrn
finally has been released. It has an impressive list of changes,
including the long-awaited true offline reading functionality. I also
integrated a lot of patches and want to thank everyone who made a
contribution.
DrJava stable release
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=304274
A new stable release of DrJava is now available. DrJava is an
integrated Java development environment that supports interactive
evaluation of expressions. It is primarily intended for students, but
it has features useful even for advanced users. This release includes
many large new features, including the ability to test all open JUnit
test files, easily run the main method of a program, find and replace
across all open documents, and load a history file as a script that can
be executed one line at a time. There have been interface improvements
including a convenient box that appears in the Interactions Pane to
accept input from System.in, listing JUnit test methods as they are
being run, and configurable colors that now work in all panes. More
detailed information can be found in the Release Notes.

Printers and PDF, Excel, HTML and XHTML, PlainText, XML and CSV files.
To give everybody a reason to upgrade, this version now contains a
progress monitor dialog for all gui report-operations. The reporting is
also no longer so selfish to block the entire event dispatcher while
processing the report... Have more fun, said Thomas

Is Linux as Secure as We'd Like to Think?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/08/25/1959204
man_of_mr_e asks: "With all the recent brouhaha about [0]Blaster and
[1]Sobig, there's been a lot of talk about [2]how poor Windows security
is, especially compared to the Linux we all know and love. But is this
really true? The website defacement archive at [3]Zone-h shows that
Linux accounts for 61% of the defacements in the last 24 hours (note,
this figure changes, so it might be different when you view it). An
analysis of the last few weeks of [4]their archive shows a similar
percentage of exploited Linux systems. Note also that the 'Unknown'
category is rather high, and certainly contains at least some Linux
systems, further increasing the percentage. Why is this? Are we just
deluding ourselves about our own security? Could there be a Linux
'Blaster' just waiting to happen?" While "defacements" don't
necessarily mean "root level break-in", sometimes getting your foot in
the door is enough. If this happens, wouldn't Linux then be just as
exploitable as Windows? Are there other reasons why the likelihood of a
"Sobig" or an "ILUVYOU" would be lower for Linux than Windows?

DeCSS Loses Free Speech Shield

[0]JohnGrahamCumming writes "BusinessWeek/CNET is reporting that the
California Supreme Court has ruled that 'a Web publisher [1]could be
barred from posting DVD-copying code online without infringing on his
free speech rights.' They also say that 'the state Supreme Court ruled
that property and trade secrets rights outranked free speech rights in
this case.'" According to the article, this "...overturned an
[2]earlier decision that said blocking Web publishers from posting the
controversial piece of software called DeCSS, which can be used to help
decrypt and copy DVDs, would violate their First Amendment rights."

http://freshmeat.net/releases/133673/
libaio is meant to solve the problem of differing digital audio
platforms once and for all. JACK is unnecessarily complex for most
applications, and while libao's support for file output is cool, it
limits what the API can do and is therefore inadequate for any kind of

and a simple compile-time driver switching decision, yielding a
lightweight way to use the local sound hardware without having to care
what it is.
ayttm 0.4.0

d 1.1.0
http://freshmeat.net/releases/133630/
d is an alternative to ls and its long format output. It optimizes the
output to create more space for the filename and reduce the chance of
wrap around. On a system with short user/group names it can save as
much as 22 spaces for the filename. It also has a --dirs-first option
to always print directories before regular files regardless of the
current sort option. Those familiar with Midnight Commander will
recognize this behavior. It allows for system and user configuration
files, which can specify several options that are available on the
command line, as well as the 'color' option which can be used to
completely customize the colorization of output, like ls but in a more
convenient configuration file. There is a --tree option to simulate the
output of the tree command.

interface, coupled with a graphical modelling system. You choose the
entities that the new business requires for implementation, use the
graphical interface to build connections between resources and model
the flow to reflect the business functionality, and generate the code
necessary for the business deployment.
Yerase TNEF Stream Reader 2.0
http://freshmeat.net/releases/133744/
ytnef is a program to decode TNEF streams (winmail.dat). Unlike other
similar programs, it can also decode meeting requests and create VCal
entries for easy import. It can also create vCard entries from contact
cards and vTodo entries from task entries. It also has a Perl script
that can be used in procmail recipes to automatically reformat incoming
mail appropriately.
ZPyIrc 0.1.2
http://freshmeat.net/releases/133717/

client for as many clients you want on your Zope server. It's fully
configurable and leave you the possibility to decide how many
connetions you'll leave open, the default server, default port, default
nickname, etc. It also offers you the ability to set up some bots. It
is based on the pyirc Python module.
Slashcode
Slash on Mac OS X
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/08/12/158239
This is how I installed Slash on Mac OS X Server 10.2.6 on August 8,
2003. YMMV. This is not intended to be a tutorial, it is a log of what
I did for my system. You may wish to use a release version of perl, to
include different Apache modules, to compile with DSO, etc. Whatever.
If someone wants to take some or all of this information and include it
in a more comprehensive guide, be my guest.
How to Force Previewing?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/08/08/1931216
An anonymous user writes: "I'd like to see an option added to enable a
user to force themselves to preview a post before they actually post
the comment. At the moment, a user is required to preview a story
submission before they post it, but there is no way for this
requirement to be there for standard posts. I often find myself hitting
'submit' when I wish I'd previewed first. I know that a 'force post
preview' option could be added to the options section and implemented
in SLASH *very* easily, which would simply remove the 'Submit' button
from the initial post screen... so could someone do it? I'd do it
myself if I was able to update the CVS source :-)" This is a one-liner
change... details follow...
YogaCircle.net (New Yoga Slash Site)
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/07/28/0339211
Well this should be a first. A Yoga base Slash site. Check it out, if
you have any questions or comments let me know. Thanks for the code.
csdaily.com
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/07/28/0337226
Yet another Slash site, Computer Science Daily News. Aims to be a
resource for Computer Science professionals, researchers, students and
instructors. Hopefully this fills a niche, computer science
developments seem to be very decentralized, and hard to find. Slash
seems to be working out nicely, though I'm still learning the ropes...

Slash on server running Livejournal?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/07/24/0035257
Maybe this is the wrong venue to ask in, and I'm sorry if it is, but
this question has been nagging me for about the past week or so. I have
a personal server running Slackware 8 with a custom-compiled Apache
1.3.27 (with the appropriate mod_perl) and MySQL 4.0.13. This server is
currently running the LiveJournal server code and works quite well at
this. I'm interested in attempting to set up slash for personal use
(the Livejournal code is running for personal use as well), and herein
lies the question. Can slash be run on the same server in another
VirtualHost without having a separate apache installation/process and
doing some fancy trick with mod_rewrite? Or am I asking too much? I
will be happy to provide any further info anyone needs through e-mail
(the e-mail link above is NOT spam-armored at all).

Tuxedo.org Now running Slashcode
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/07/23/2014232
Tuxedo.org is now running Slashcode. I should have done this a couple
of years ago... Most recent story is Linus Torvalds Comments on SCO
Lawsuit and Linux. Hope you all enjoy the new site! --Chuck Peters
Best hosting service for Slash?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/07/23/1449209
I'm going to be doing some "big things" with Slashcode but am
interested in going through someone to set up Slashcode and the server,
so that I can just right in and start building the site. What are the
best hosting services out there? Will they set up Slash for me? What
kinds of experiences have people had?
Dissociated Press goes Slash
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/07/23/1442252
After a bit of poking and prodding, I've converted Dissociated Press to
Slashcode (2.2.6). Works great!
So Long, and Thanks for all the Fish!
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/06/13/1816237
All things come to an end and its been a wonderful ride. Today is my
last day at OSDN and this will be the last thing I will be posting on
Slashcode. It has been fun working on Slash for the last few years and
I have enjoyed working with the Slash community (tf32, ACS, vladinator,
ericdano, and many more that I am forgetting). On Monday I start work
for MySQL so I will be a bit busy for a while but I expect you will
still see Slash stuff coming from me in the future. I will continue to
be in #slash for a while, and you can still always reach me via email.
The best of luck with you and your sites, it has been great!
