An anonymous reader writes "JPL has always been concerned with how
their work has benefitted society and the Earth as a whole. Everything
from developing tools to study what causes [0]El Nino/La Nina to
helping [1]find sources of pollution in our environment. In an effort
to continue their work while decreasing their burden on NASA's budget,
JPL will introduce the [2]JPL Commercialization Center. This means they
will begin developing relationships with commercial entities to adapt
their technologies for public use. The public benefit is two-fold since
licensing fees will help ease NASA and taxpayer burden and
life-enchancing technologies will be put into public use."

how simultaneous multithreading works, and what problems it will
introduce. It also explains why comparing the technology to SMP is
Apples to Oranges, in a sense. Starting with the 3 GHz Pentium 4, this
tech will be standard in Intel's desktop lines (it's already in the
Xeon), so this is important stuff."

[0]GonzoJohn writes "Linux Orbit has [1]reviewed Libranet GNU/Linux
2.7: Other Linux distribution companies have tried to create commercial
Linux products based on Debian GNU/Linux, but few have achieved long
term success. Progeny Linux comes to mind as a commercial Linux
distribution company whose Linux product met with good reviews, but
couldn't remain in business. [2]Libranet is a rare exception to this
rule. Libranet GNU/Linux has been around quite a while and continues to
build a devoted Linux user base on a commercial product based on Debian

Libranet continues to improve on an already solid Linux distribution."

ability to plot detected networks and estimated network ranges on
downloaded maps or user supplied image files.
Nettle library 1.6
http://freshmeat.net/releases/99056/
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
@emph{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. For this first version, the
only application using Nettle is LSH, and it uses an object-oriented
abstraction on top of the library.
Noname 0.9.6
http://freshmeat.net/releases/99062/
Noname is a simple Perl script that updates your zoneedit.com domains
with your current IP address, which is useful if you receive

lighting systems like scanners, dimmers, and other lighting effects.
The goal is to produce free software that replaces the quite limited
hardware lighting desks.
Q3Log 2.3
http://freshmeat.net/releases/99071/
Q3Log takes Quake 3 Arena log files and generates HTML stats pages from
them. It works with standard Quake 3, Rocket Arena, Urban Terror, and
Headhunters. The .java files are included to make it easier to modify.
Templates are employed to ease customization, and adding support for
most other mods is simple.
SISC b1.6.0
http://freshmeat.net/releases/99047/
SISC is an extensible Java-based interpreter of the algorithmic
language Scheme. It uses modern interpretation techniques and handily
outperforms all existing Java interpreters (often by more than an order
of magnitude). In addition, SISC is a complete implementation of the
language. The entire R5RS Scheme standard is supported. This includes a
full number tower including complex number support and arbitrary
precision integers and floating point numbers, proper tail recursion,
hygienic macros, and full support for first-class continuations (not
just the escaping continuations found in many other systems).

all commands are accessible with the keyboard. It also has many
features such as multiple accounts, POP3/APOP support, thread display,
and multipart MIME. One of Sylpheed's future goals is to be fully
internationalized. The messages are managed in the MH format, so you'll
be able to use it together with another mailer that uses the MH format.
Tk Ecasound 0.4.1
http://freshmeat.net/releases/99001/
Tk Ecasound is a frontend for Ecasound. It has the look of a multitrack

http://freshmeat.net/releases/99072/
XStow is a replacement for GNU Stow written in C++. It supports all
features of Stow with some extensions. XStow and GNU Stow are programs
for managing the installation of software packages. It keeps each
package in its own directory while making it appear that all packages
are installed in the same place. Unlike GNU Stow, XStow does not depend
on Perl, and can be compiled statically for such uses as rescue disks.
XStow is fully compatible with GNU Stow, meaning that you can switch
from one to the other at will.
Slashcode
Displaying multiple categories on home page?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/10/01/2037208
I'm sorry if I've missed something here, but I've just set up a slash
site, and can't quite figure out how to get my home page to work like I
want: My goal is to deploy a slash site internally where I work, with
sections for the various groups on our project; R&D, CM, QA,
marketing, etc. Then, each group can have "private" articles in their
own section, and then front-page anything that would be of interest to
everyone else (a new customer, major feature, reached a milestone,
etc). As far as I can tell, however, right now, R&D guys would have
to explicitly check both the R&D section, and the main section.
Convincing people to regularly hit one web page will be hard enough;
getting them to frequent two will be near impossible. The closest I can
find to what I want is the "Collapse Sections" option, but in that
case, R&D would be forced to see all the marketting drudge, and
vice versa. You can blacklist certain categories, but then it defeats
the whole purpose of doing this. Is there something I'm just being
dense and missing?
Themes how to
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/10/01/1733226
I have just finished making the HTML templates for a new site and have
slash 2.2.5 up and running. How do I make and install these templates

Changing comment display?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/09/30/078259
I have noticed a surprising behavior in slashcoded sites. It seems like
a bug to me, but as a lay user I may be missing the Big Picture of why
one would want things this way. Specifically, I was surprised to find
that when changing the comment display parameters (e.g., threshold,
nesting, ordering) of a displayed article, the resulting page does not
display the original article; the comments are shown as requested, but
the initial paragraph is not drawn. I first noticed this switching to a
nested display on a recent Slashdot article, but some quick testing
revealed that the behavior is consistent across various sites and
browsers. Clearly, this is a systemic condition. Is this a deliberate
choice? Is there some reason to prefer this approach to one that allows
a user to display the entire article with the comments organized as
he/she chooses? From where I sit, I don't see why one would, but I was
interested to hear what the community thought before submitting a bug
report/patch. What do you think?
Updating portald blocks
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/09/27/1928216
My site portald blocks have gone insane! When portald runs, the blocks
are actually updated - I check in backSlash, and the current content
comes up when I edit a block, say 'slashdot'. On the main page, the
block is still displaying content from the last time apache was
restarted. Everything else on the page is showing new content (stories,
recent topics, older stories, etc). What is going wrong??!
The Ethics of Weblogging
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/09/27/0322250
Okay, this is a bit different kind of question, but it's been
concerning me a lot lately. What is the "netiquette" of weblogging? For
example, I saw a cool story on Slashdot that points at a page on
Fortune magazine. The subject of the article is right on topic with the
Slash site I'm developing. Do I quote Slashdot, or Fortune, or both?
And in general, how ethical is it to create a site, the majority of
which is content that others have worked to create?
How to fetch a list of users?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/09/27/0322208
Hi All, I'm new to slash and have installed one. Now i got a simple
question as how to fetch a list of users from the users table? my
@my_query = $slashdb->sqlSelect('nickname', 'users', 'uid!=1'); #
uid 1 = anon coward Now @my_query only results in the nickname of uid
2, but I need all the users' nickname listed. How to do that? Sure
other sqlSelect* give me some clues, but I kind of short on time,
despite of my new acquiantance with perl and slash. Thanks for all
help.Usef
Does Slash work on Lindows?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/09/25/167217
Has anyone successfully installed Slashcode on Lindows? Before I try it
for myself, I wanted to know if anyone had any suggestions. Should I

manually?
Slash moderatorlog table a black hole of mystery
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/09/23/1650226
Does anyone have the lowdown on the sturcture of the moderatorlog
table? I assume this keeps track of individual moderations, etc. but
part of the structure puzzles me: uid - moderator uid val - ?? sid -
