GameToo Much...... And Die!
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/10/09/2326221
A 24-year-old South Korean man died after playing computer games
nonstop for 86 hours, police said yesterday. The jobless man,
identified by police only by his last name Kim, was found dead at an
Internet cafe in Kwangju, 260 kilometres southwest of Seoul, they said.
Quoting witnesses, police detective Oh Myong-sik in Kwangju said the
man had been virtually glued to the computer since late last Friday and
had no decent sleep and meals. The man collapsed in front of the
counter early yesterday but soon regained consciousness. He then went
to the toilet where he later was found dead, the police officer said.
Initial investigation ruled out the possibility of murder, police said.
An autopsy was planned. Source Article can be found in [0]The Sydney
Morning Herald

Geoprofiling Moves Into The Limelight
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/10/09/208220
[0]circletimessquare writes "Interesting and timely. A [1]short piece
at CNN talks about the software helping to track down the sniper
currently terrorizing the Washington DC area. It was the doctoral
thesis of a cop, Kim Rossmo, who developed it while walking the beat in
Vancouver and reading about the hunting patterns of African lions.
Googling, I found an [2]older but deeper piece which mentions more of
the tech behind the software, called Rigel. That led me to the website
of [3]ECRI, the company that makes Rigel. More good tech there."

MS Backs Down On Encrypted Digital TV Recording

karrde writes "CNet (and [0]others) is [1]reporting that: 'Microsoft
has bowed to consumer pressure and pulled back from a controversial
plan that would have encrypted TV shows recorded on forthcoming digital
media PCs.' One could hope that this will be the first many decisions
in this direction."

Small-Scale Warrior Robot Truck
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/10/09/1945219
Phoebus0 writes "The [0]Oregon Health and Science University's
[1]Department of Computer Science and Engineering has been developing
what looks like a massive robot truck of the future - only on a
slightly smaller scale. It appears to use some fairly cool stuff on a
really small platform, literally. It's called the [2]Timbot, and is
supposed to be able to act and get around independently, with only
high-level instructions. The robot is running embedded Linux with
802.11b ethernet, a micro pan/tilt camera, and a bunch of other
sensors. It's partially funded by DARPA, and the current press release
[3]can be found here. I want one!" I hope they commericialize and sell
this, looks much better than my old Tonka truck.

Eldred v. Ashcroft Oral Arguments
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/10/09/1640249
PMuse and others wrote in about the oral arguments held today in the
[0]Eldred v. Ashcroft case challenging the most recent 20-year
retroactive extension of copyright terms. [1]Google News will cover the
mainstream news stories about it; [2]transcripts of the arguments will
eventually be posted; but as I write this the only first-hand reports
appear to be [3]LawMeme and the [4]Associated Press. Reader McSpew adds
a link to a piece by Steven Levy explaining the [5]importance of Eldred
v. Ashcroft and what's really at stake. Update: 10/09 19:12 GMT by
[6]T: [7]khkramer links to [8]his own summary of the arguments, writing
"I have press credentials at the court, so I was able to take notes
during the argument, and in the summary I tried to cover all of the
major issues that the Justices asked about."

What Would You Do With a New Form of Encryption?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/10/08/0019203
[0]Kip Knight asks: "I've been sitting on an invention for six months
now. I'm debating whether to 'give it to the world' or patent it. I
would obviously like to feed my family on the fruits of my endeavour
but don't see much hope in the open source route. My invention improves
upon the 80 year old One-Time Pad encryption turning it into a
'Many-Time Pad'. Since I haven't got my export license to speak about
the details yet, I won't describe further. The advantages are proof
(i.e. unbreakable) against brute force attacks and known-plaintext
attacks (unlike the OTP). The disadvantage is carrying around a very
large digital key (which could easily fit on one of those USB memory
key fobs). My question is this: Could I sell enough $10 shareware GPG
extensions to compensate for not locking in 20 years of patent
protection (and the $20,000 to patent it)?" While the claims made by
the submittor have yet to withstand the crucial test of time (and
prying eyes), if you had developed a new form of encryption, what would
you do?

Slashcode
Instant Karma
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/10/10/025233
I'm trying to figure out where exactly Karma comes from. This may seem
like a stupid question, but is there a direct one-to-one correlation
between moderation points and karma points? If a comment receives a +1
moderation, does that give the poster +1 Karma? I know there are other
factors (submission_bonus, goodkarma, badkarma, etc...), but this is
the one part I'm not sure about...
Slash and Bugzilla in harmony?

same daemon, using virtual hosting.
No comments on polls
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/10/08/159249
I have a slash site recently upgraded to 2.2.6 It does not seem to
offer users the chance to add comments to polls. Any idea why that
might be? Is it a template issue that I have broken? or a bug in
slashcode 2.2.6? eg http://news.diversebooks.com/pollBooth.pl?section=

install-slashsite needed for 2.2.5 -> 2.2.6?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/10/07/1535237
I'm in the process of upgrading from slash 2.2.5 to slash 2.2.6. I've
done the make and make install steps, and everything seems to have gone
fine so far. But I'm confused about the next step. The INSTALL file
doesn't mention needing to run install-slashsite as part of the "Slash
2.2.x -> Slash 2.2.y" section, so I thought maybe I didn't need to.
But it mentions that my template customizations will likely have been
overwritten by the install process, and gives instructions on how to
deal with that, and at least in the steps I've performed so far, that
hasn't happened. My modified templates are still showing up on the
site. Which makes me think I haven't done something important, and
running install-slashsite is my best guess as to what that might be.

to the success of this site as it contains time sensitive information.
Also, how do I prevent postings to the site from users that do not have
an account?
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
as a theme ? How are template-tool, template check and install theme
involved in this process ? What is boilerplate ? thanks - Bob
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?
