Microsoft's Vision Of Future Workplaces

An anonymous reader writes "Microsoft unveils their new [0]office of
the near future in a swanky center in Redmond. Inside this article you
will find clear evidence of institutional navel gazing like never
before and a staggering ignorance of current technology (much of this
seems retreaded) not to mention actual business needs or wants. Want
proof? How about: '"Surround sound is going to be increasingly
important in future offices," says group marketing manager Tom Gruver
in leading a tour of the new facility.' Right. More chestnuts inside."

various uses that GNU Privacy Guard could bring to your business or
personal life in enhancing security of your digital documents and

Why Software Piracy is Good for Microsoft
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/09/26/1633204
[0]jcphil writes "Salon has an article that explains why Microsoft has
[1]toned down its anti-piracy actions in China and other developing
markets. The answer is simple: due to the network effect, the more
users you have, the greater your strength in the marketplace. And it
doesn't matter if their Windows is pirated or not. So, in effect,
software piracy in countries like China helps Microsoft to compete with
Linux." Meanwhile, the RIAA doesn't feel the same logic applies to
record sales in the U.S., and has [2]started an ad campaign to convince
the public that sharing music hurts artists.

How to fetch a list of users?

uid 1 = anon coward Now @my_query only results in the nickname of uid

Slash moderatorlog table a black hole of mystery

table? I assume this keeps track of individual moderations, etc. but
part of the structure puzzles me: uid - moderator uid val - ?? sid -
Story ID? (or discussion id?) ts - ?? cid - comment id cuid - uid of
the comment poster (??) reason - mod reason ("offtopic", etc.) active -
?? m2count - number of metamods on this mod? If anyone has some insight
into thie table structure, or can confirm or deny some of my guesses,
it would help me a lot. --dbworrier

Comment Color Coding Code Complete
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/09/18/0459236
I have just submitted a patch that allows for the color coding of
comments based on "freshness". Using a cookie set by article.pl and
read by comments.pl the template makes the color of the table cell
behind the comment subject one color if the comment was there the last
time the user viewed the page and another color if the comment is new
to that user. (note that this is being done on a site locked into
Nested view, so every comment is visible and in a table box). This was
not as easy as I thought it would be, and I would like to acknowledge
the efforts of the entire team of people I work with [
http://openflows.org ], as well important advice and help that was
provided by Jamie in #slash and members of the slashcode-general
mailing list. You can see the code in action at

Upcoming XHTML/Accessibility Slash theme
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/09/17/2237203
I'm working on a theme based on the slashcode theme from CVS. The main
goal with this theme is making Slash (more) accessible, usable and
comply with the W3C's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0. This
includes: Make Slash valid XHTML 1.1 Control layout with a external
style-sheet ( should be valid Cascading Style Sheets, level 2 ) Remove
all tables that are used for design Use <th> tags in all tables
Add the <label> tag to all form labels use <h1>..<h6>
to add structure to pages, not to get larger fonts add <abbr> and
<acronym> tags where needed Remove light mode, since it won't be
needed anymore I hope that I can finish this and do a first release
real soon. This will also include a more complete list of changes.
Since many of the Slashcode.com users have their own Slash sites, it
would be interesting to hear if someone has some experience in making
Slash more accessible / usable that they are willing to share. Any
questions about the theme should be added as comment to this story
and/or mailed directly to me.

Daylight Savings Time
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/09/10/1915232
I run a (relatively) large internal Slash site at my company. The user
base is pretty far flung, with people accessing and posting from the
western, central and eastern US timezones, as well as overseas
(BST/GMT). I did manage to get everyone to set up their timezones
appropriately once user accounts are created. The problem is long term
maintenance of these zones, as daylight savings time comes and goes.
How do other sites with geographically diverse readerships deal with
the DST problem? Is there a script I can run, or am I missing something
here?
