popular anime Cowboy Bebop has finally been set to release in the
states in a handful of cities including LA, NY, SF, Seattle and others

note the Japanese title of the film was 'Cowboy Bebop: Knockin On
Heaven's Door', but has been changed simply to 'Cowboy Bebop: The
Movie' for the states." We had a note about the [2]American premiere
last summer, but now it's finally open for general admission.

Net Speed Record Smashed
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/03/06/2211227
[0]BrianWCarver writes "The BBC [1]is reporting that scientists have
set a new internet speed record by transferring 6.7 gigabytes of data
(the equivalent of 4 hours of DVD-quality movies) across 10,978
kilometres (6,800 miles), from Sunnyvale in the US to Amsterdam in
Holland, in less than one minute. Average speed: more than 923 megabits
per second, or more than 3,500 times faster than a typical home
broadband connection. The data was sent across the Internet2 network.
[2]Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (Slac) Computer Services
participated in the record-breaking event. Slac has an interest in such
high-speed transfers as they have accumulated the largest known
database in the world, which grows at one terabyte per day."

Jupiter's "Mini-Me" Solar System Grows

An anonymous reader writes "University of Hawaii's robotic telescopes
have [0]discovered 8 new moons for Jupiter, thus bringing its mini
solar system to 48 total. No one knows how Jupiter dissipates the
energy of these likely asteroid captures, unless it once had a
massively larger atmosphere. Indeed, its [1]ion cloud today seems to
spell doom for what Sir Arthur C. Clarke indicated, is another reason
to avoid probing life on Europa. ('All these worlds are yours--except
Europa. Attempt no landings there.'-- 2010: Odyssey Two). As an aside,

Bad Behavior on the 'Net - Who Pays the Bandwidth Bill?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/03/06/204235
rakolam asks: "I am involved with network management in the hosting
department of a fairly large ISP. Constantly we have customers who
dispute inbound bandwidth spikes and demand service credits on their
burstable connections. Events such as the Slammer Virus literally have
everyone knocking on their salesperson's door at the end of the billing
cycle. My position is that the internet is a public space, and by
placing themselves in that space, one has to realize the consequences
(and the implications of burstable billing). I'd like Slashdot's
perspective on this. Should ISP's ultimately eat the costs of malicious
behavior? Is the customer ultimately responsible for the bandwidth
they've generated, regardless if it's desired or not? Is this a new
frontier for insurance companies?"
Cornell Implementing Bandwidth Charges
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/03/06/1610252
Sabalon writes "[0]Cornell University is planning on implementing a
plan where if faculty, staff or students use more than 2GB of bandwidth
a month, they will be [1]charged for the additional bandwidth usage.
The article mentions that last year over 100,000GB worth of files were
sent from Cornell's network. I'm sure this is not the only school doing
this or moving to this. I'm sure the conspiracy theory people will see
this as a suggestion by Microsoft to stop students from getting those
pesky Linux iso images. At least, according to the RIAA, CD sales
around Cornell should now skyrocket :)" It'll be interesting to see how
this plays out. Since students often have accounts on several different
university machines, I suspect the more rebellious ones will be running
an assortment of proxies and redirections to get around the
restrictions.

marginal visible image quality loss. It should be used with
inetd/xinetd, but if you can't use them, a simple replacement
"netd" is provided.
Slashcode
Mandrake.Net
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/03/06/1841236

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.

ERROR WHEN RUNNING: install-slashsite -u user
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/03/06/0710226
I am new to installing Slash so let me appologize now less I not anger
the Gods for my stupidity. So I have started out the right way by
searching the past posts on this site, reading the FAQ and "How to
install Slash for dummies." In all that reading I have only found
one post here where someone else has documented experiencing this
problem. However no one responded to the poster's issue in 2002 so I am
still at an impase and will ask the question here again. Thanks in
advance for any help you can give me. Here is an excerpt of what I see
after I type "instal-slashsite -u virtslash." FYI... I am
installing Slash on a RedHat 8.0 system and have been following the
install instructions for ÂHow to install Slash for Dummies.Â

Installing Slashcode without Root Privileges
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/03/04/1838201
I have a question, and I'm not exactly sure where to ask it. Is it
possible for Slashcode to be installed without root privileges on a
normal user account? Can the required Perl modules be installed in a
subdirectory of Slashcode? Any information or responses in the form of
comments to the above two questions is appreciated greatly. Thanks in
advance!
Template Editing
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/03/04/1730250
So I've edited the default templates quite a bit in my site, and it
displays fine. But, now I want to create my new set of templates as a
theme (which seems like the logical thing to do for future
installations). Problem: I can't seem to locate any template files
anywhere that contain the edited templates. in /usr/local/slash the
only set of templates I can locate are those from the slashcode theme,
which are the default ones. And, when I search thru the appropriate
site subfolder, there are no files in there that reflect any of the
changes either. Does this mean it's a case of copy/paste from the
template editor into new files to make the appropriate files for my
theme? Or will the edited template files be somewhere convenient? PS. I
hope this post makes sense...
Sectionindexd
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/03/03/1722202
Hi, I'm running slash 2.2.5 on OS X 10.2. Everything has been running
fine for two months and I was using only one main section for all my
topics. Eventually, the need for multiple sections appeared. To keep my
users abreast of what's happening in the new sections, I would need to
replicate the nifty Section box as seen on Slashdot with a Story count
per section. I can't find any way to have it generated automatically. I
searched slashcode and google for answers and found nothing. Finally I
noticed a template called sectionindexd but I can't figure it out. Any
will be help appreciated...
Email Plugin not installed
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/28/1728229
I'm a relative slash newbie. I've just installed 2.3.0. During the
install, I chose "Email Plugin" (I think it was item #6 on the list),
but when I click on the email icon for a story, I get a page that says:
The plugin you have requested Slash::Email, was not
properly installed. I tried restarting both slash and apache, and I
tried using the install-plugin tool (again, I chose Email, and said yes
to using symlinks), but the page continues to state that it's not
installed properly. I do have an Email directory in the plugins
directory, and everything there looks good (to my untrained eye). I
also looked in the logs, but there was no mention of the Email plugin
in the slashd.log file. I seem to have the perl module installed
correctly. I find these three files:
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread
-multi/auto/Slash/Email
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread
-multi/auto/Slash/Email/.packlist
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/Slash/Email. pm Any ideas
what might not be installed properly or how it is determined that a
plugin either is or is not installed?

freshenup.pl / prog2file hanging (again)
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/27/1717234
I know this has been asked before, but I've been doing some digging and
I can't see any answers to the problems that quite a few people seem to
have been hitting. The issue is that slashd stops working, and it
appears to be when it calls prog2file(), and I'm assuming that the line
in prog2file() is the backticked execution of the command passed. There
are previous threads regarding this here and here, and I've seen other
discussions away from SlashCode too. These threads all just seem to
peter out without any resolution. Here's my question: I've removed the
last two calls to prog2file from freshenup.pl, and slashd now keeps
going fine, and my site still seems to be working... what have I broken
by removing these calls? Is this wise (I suspect not) :) And has anyone
resolved this issue???
Slash not emailing Daily Headlines / Stories
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/26/176227
I have got a basic install up and running and so far everything is
behaving as expected in terms of the web ui. My previous post regarding
external authentication is being followed up with the developers of our
current community software, I will post whatever developments come from
that should others find it useful. One oddity I am noticing is that the
website is not emailing me like it did the very first day. I received a
report on the activity along with the news headlines. The next day and
from then on in I have not received any mail. The system is mailing
correctly. New registrations and password requests come through without
any problems at all. It seems limited to the cronish sort of things. I
can not find any errors in the logs to help guide me here, has anyone
else experienced this? One thing I did do that may have broken
something was change my slash install from on domain to another by
going through the install process again. Any pointers would be most
appreciated, Mitchell
