CAPPS II Trials Begin in March
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/02/28/2034232
corporal_clegg writes "According to this story on FoxNews, in March
Delta Airlines will begin [0]using a federal database that incorporates
credit history and bank records in an effort to identify potential
security threats. The federal system - CAPPS II (Computer Assisted
Passenger Prescreening System) - will assign a "threat level" to
passengers based upon information in the database and other criteria,
such as whether the individual is on government watch lists. 'CAPPS II
will collect data and rate each passenger's risk potential according to
a three-color system: green, yellow, red. When travelers check in,
their names will be punched into the system and the boarding passes
encrypted with the ranking.' The scary thing is that no one really
knows which databases the government will use or how long the records
will remain. Slashdot [1]covered this story in September 2002, and it
now seems that the first airline is ready to give it a try. In addition
to the links in the previous Slashdot article, a [2]good background on
CAPPS II can be found here." Actually, the last story we did on
[3]passenger profiling was just a week or two ago.

How's Your Whuffie? Interview with Cory Doctorow

[0]Richard Koman writes "My [1]interview with EFF's Cory Doctorow just
went up on O'Reilly. The interview is largely about his book, "Down and

view of Disney, programmers, and peer to peer. Then there's this:
Doctorow: I think that Disney's art and technology kicks ass. But one
thing you discover in the technology world, especially in free
software, is that being a good programmer and being a good person are
not necessarily correlated, or at least being a good programmer and
being a person with whom other people want to spend a lot of time, who
has good hygiene and good social skills, are not correlated."

Sux Services 0.2.5 (Development)
http://freshmeat.net/releases/114711/
Sux Services are new-generation IRC services which aim to be robust,
flexible, and scalable. They are multi-threaded and use an SQL backend
(MySQL) to store their databases.
The Tamber Project 1.2 (Pogo)
http://freshmeat.net/releases/114736/
The Tamber project is a componentized n-tier Web site engine that uses
open languages such as XML and JavaScript. Content is stored in
separate XML files, in databases, or other data objects. Business
functions are carried out by JavaScript and ASP. Presentation is
controlled by an XSL transformation, which allows for delivery over
multiple channels such as HTML, WAP, and MHEG. Currently, Tamber can
deliver to HTML and WAP, and contains modules that support e-commerce
shopping carts, secure sign in, data access and conversion services,
and advanced session management.
ThinkSQL RDBMS 0.5.00 beta (Beta)
http://freshmeat.net/releases/114683/
ThinkSQL is a multi-threaded relational database management system. The
aim is to bring it as close as possible to full compliance with the ISO
SQL standard. It already supports transactions, sub-selects, views,
stored procedures, functions, comprehensive constraints, multi-version
concurrency control, and a statistical optimiser that uses constraints
and relationships to improve plans. The SQL server runs under Windows
and Linux and includes native ODBC, dbExpress (Delphi/Kylix), and JDBC
drivers.
tnftp 2.0beta1
http://freshmeat.net/releases/114700/
tnftp (formerly known as lukemftp) is a port of the NetBSD FTP client
to other systems. It offers many enhancements over the traditional BSD
FTP client, including command-line editing, command-line fetches of FTP
and HTTP URLs (including via proxies), command-line uploads of FTP
URLs, context-sensitive word completion, dynamic progress bar, IPv6
support, modification time preservation, paging of local and remote
files, passive mode support (with fallback to active mode), SOCKS
support, TIS FWTK gate-ftp server support, and transfer rate
throttling.
Usepackage Environment Manager 1.6.3
http://freshmeat.net/releases/114698/
Usepackage is a tool for managing the Unix environment for a
multi-tool, multi-platform site. It is designed to simplify login
scripts and allow administrators to control users' environments
centrally. This tool should be considered primarily designed for sites
where users have to deal with a number of different tools, or versions
of tools, that are installed in different locations and require
environment variables to be set. This is particularly a problem for
developers, or anyone who has to manage a large toolset across multiple
platforms (e.g. different versions of the Sun JDK which require various
environment variables to be set correctly). One or more central
configuration files control a number of different "packages"
and their associated environment and dependencies for different
platforms (this includes the standard PATH, MANPATH, and
LD_LIBRARY_PATH variables). A single user command, use, can be invoked
to source the appropriate environment information into the users'
current shell.
WindowLab 1.05
http://freshmeat.net/releases/114762/
WindowLab is a small and simple window manager of novel design. It is
click-to-focus, shares its window depth policy with the Amiga, and has
a window resizing/reshaping method similar to that of 8-1/2 from Plan
9. It maintains the illusion of direct manipulation by constraining the
mouse pointer when appropriate (i.e., when a window cannot be dragged
any further in one direction). The pointer is also constrained
vertically (effectively making the target menu items infinitely tall
according to Fitts's law) when it is in the menubar to reduce pointing
time.
wmCube 0.99-pre1
http://freshmeat.net/releases/114725/
wmCube is a dockapp that displays a realtime rotating 3D object and the
current CPU load. You can design your own objects for it.
XDirectFB 1.0-rc4
http://freshmeat.net/releases/114757/
XDirectFB is a rootless X Server using DirectFB Windows for X11
toplevel windows. This way the opacity of every application can be
adjusted with your mouse wheel. Window movements are initiated by the
application or the window manager. The graphical movement is done by
DirectFB using the available hardware acceleration. Overlapping
toplevel windows does not cause expose events, i.e. redrawing of the
window contents, as they are DirectFB windows and therefore have an own
surface, or backing store.
Youhp3 3.4
http://freshmeat.net/releases/114684/
Youhp3 (Youpee's One Unlimited HTML PreProcessor) is an HTML
preprocessor that allows you to embed code of any script language, as
well as calling any external program to generate text files. It is
specifically designed to work with HTML/XML documents, and provide
traditional features, such as define, include, macro, conditional
tests, and loop.
Zina 0.9.13
http://freshmeat.net/releases/114758/
Zina is a graphical interface to your MP3 collection, a personal
jukebox, and an MP3 streamer. It can run alone or as a Postnuke or
PHPNuke module. It is similar to Andromeda, but is released under the
GPL.

AMaViS-ng 0.1.6 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=256297
AMaViS-ng is a modular rewrite of amavisd and amavis-perl. It scans
email for malicious code inside attachments and archive files, stopping
delivery if malicious code is found. It supports integration of several
third-party virus scanners and integrates nicely into several MTA
setups. Unlike amavis-perl and amavisd, there is no need for build-time
configuration. Changes: Support for Courier-MTA, CLAM Antivirus daemon,
F-Prot daemon ("enterprise") version, INOC, NOD32 daemon, RAV, Trophie
daemon, and drWeb has been added. The main documentation is now
provided in Texinfo format.
Crystal Space 0.96r003 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=256365
Crystal Space 0.96r003 has been released. This release fixes a number
of the problems and issues discovered in the 0.96r002 release. Crystal
Space is an Open Source 3D SDK for Unix, Windows, MacOS/X. It renders
with OpenGL or software and features curved surfaces, volumetric fog,
dynamic colored lighting, terrain engine, LOD, procedural textures,
portals, etc. Here is a brief overview of some of the problems
addressed by this release: * On some drivers OpenGL incorrectly reports
the maximum texture size. CS now detects this case and uses a
reasonable default. * Several bugs were fixed in the ensocket
networking plugin. * PNG image loader now works on platforms with
different structure sizes. * Map2CS outputs directly usable XML now.
levtool is still needed to improve performance. * Bug fixed in OpenGL
which could causes objects to disappear. * Fullscreen in Windows/OpenGL
works better now. * Fixed memory leak in OpenGL. * Fixed memory
overwrite bug in Dynavis. This could cause crashes at exit. * Fixed
several culling errors in Dynavis. * Fixed dynamic ambient for objects
using DrawPolygonMesh. * Fixed ref counting problems in the DirectSound
renderer. * Fixed a bug in the AWS notebook. * Fixed bugs in the
sequence manager to ensure that operations are fired in the right
order. * Added new csArray class. * The localshadows flag for genmesh
now works. * 'ball' mesh object now implements iPolygonMesh (can be
used for collision detection). * Static and pseudo-dynamic lighting
recalculation is now a LOT faster (several factors). * Updating the
color of a pseudo-dynamic light is also faster. * Fixed several bugs in
the console. * Several smaller performance improvements. * Several
smaller bug fixes. * Several configure/autoconf changes. Check out

available for download.
POPFile v0.18.1 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=256338
POPFile is an email classification tool with a Naive Bayes classifier,
a POP3 proxy and a web interface. It runs on most platforms and with
most email clients. Release 0.18.1 fixes bugs found in the major 0.18
major release and has significant accessibility enhancements (Bobby AA
rating). INTRODUCTION v0.18.0 was a major update and inevitably some
bugs crept in that we didn't detect prior to shipping. Happily they
have been fixed, and even more happily the regression test suite now
has tests for many of them so that they will never reoccur. v0.18.1
fixes these bugs (see THE GORY DETAILS below for the gory details) and
also has two significant changes: the caching code associated with the
History page has been totally rewritten by me so that the History
barely slows down as the number of messages in the History increases;
the Windows installer can now configure Outlook and Outlook Express
Internet email accounts for you (and undo the changes if you uninstall
POPFile). POPFile v0.18.1 is also the first version where the UI meets
the Bobby AA rating for accessibility. This means that not only does
POPFile not discriminate against particular operating system, or
natural languages, or ways you want to sort your mail, but it is also
accessible by everyone regardless of the specific challenges they face.
(FOr more details on this drop by
http://bobby.watchfire.com/bobby/html/en/about.jsp) Aside: If you are
young, fit, and computer literate you might wonder why I bothered to
make Bobby-level accessibility a requirement. Early on in POPFile's
development a user told me that POPFile was a life changer. For him,
sorting mail had been an arduous, frustrating task. ESSENTIAL READING
IF YOU ARE UPGRADING FROM v0.17.x 1. BACK UP YOUR OLD INSTALLATION:
POPFile makes this really easy, just copy the entire POPFile directory
somewhere. You can then safely install POPFile v0.18.1 on top of your
current installation; I just think a back up is a sensible precaution.
2. YOUR HISTORY WILL CLEAR: I have changed the format of the History
files used in this version which means that the old History files will
not be read by POPFile and will in fact be deleted to save disk space.
If you need to do any reclassifications prior to installing v0.18.1 do
them! POPFile does NOT clear buckets, statistics or anything else on
install of this version, just the History files. To refresh the History
view click the History tab at any time; POPFile will check disk for new
messages. 3. IF YOU HAD BROKEN MAGNETS: I have added automatic update
of broken magnets. If you had a magnet like [foo] which POPFile
mistakenly changed to \[foo\] it should get magically fixed and start
working. 4. ACCURACY MIGHT DROP FOR A SHORT WHILE: because of some
changes made in the mail parser it is possible that you might see
accuracy drop initially and you may find yourself reclassifying a few
messages that used to work. This is unfortunate but necessary to make
POPFile even more accurate than before and v0.18.1 incorporates changes
that make POPFile's classification accuracy better; however old
corpuses might need a little retraining. DOWNLOADING You can obtain the
latest release of POPFile by visiting
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=63137 UPGRADING
Just install POPFile on top of the currently installed version. But did
you read the ESSENTIAL READING above first if you are upgrading from a
pre v0.18.0 version? FAQ zonk3r has spent a great deal of time on a
POPFile FAQ. Please check it out as it covers many questions that you
might have:
http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=14421&group_id=6313
7 THE GORY DETAILS 1. Fixed a serious bug that could cause POPFile to
stop responding to POP3 and HTTP requests in the middle of downloading
mail when the mail message containing a MIME encoding that used certain
characters that were special in a Perl regular expression. (Reported by
ecarlseen, gilesjuk, panther757, szkaroly and fixed by sschinke) 2. The
skinning system continues to evole with kraelen, stanley_krute and
kinematics working madly to make everything skinnable, make everything
comply with HTML 4.01, CSS1 and Bobby AA guidelines. 3. The code that
handled the History cache that was meant to speed the loading of the
History pages and that I originally wrote was pretty lame and some
people (including me!) were ending up with 1000 message in the history
and the load time sucked. So I fixed it. The new cache will load ONCE
and ONLY ONCE per file and caches everything in memory. When new
messages are received they get loaded once per new message as well.
When a History page needs to be generated everything can be loaded from
the cache without doing any disk access which means that you should see
little difference between 10 messages and 1000. 4. To magnets would not
work correctly if the To line in the email header contained multiple
lines. (Reported by drunin and fixed by kinematics) 5. There was a
nasty problem where sometimes the statistics would not update correctly
which typically happened when you downloaded a large number of emails
in one batch. This was caused by the fact that we weren't flushing the
pipe between the child POP3 process and the parent regularly, this has
been modified so that this can never happen and statistics update in
real time even as mail is downloading. (Reported by burale, ct85711) 6.
The Windows installer has been much improved with the assistance of
xuesheng to make it reconfigure Outlook and Outlook Express for you and
include a number of new screens. 7. Quarantine had a couple of bugs
where it would show the incorrect date (reported by thejcab) and the
wrong to address (reported by dyoungmciwcom) under some circumtances.
8. When the From or Subject was encoded using base64 or quoted
printable weird things would show up in the History. (Reported by
goulduck and fixed by williamxp) 9. spf and I went back and forth
discussing line endings in the files saved to disk so that all the MSG
and CLS files could be loaded into an editor on any platform without
extraneous characters. 10. People who live on the Bleeding Edge were
getting update warnings from POPFile even though they were on the
latest version. This has been fixed on the update server. 11. Magnets
containing the & character could not be deleted. (Reported by the
infamous stanley_krute and fixed by helphand) 12. There was a bug
associateds with invisible ink detection that could cause POPFile's
HTML engine to think invisible ink was in use when a font tag spanned a
table. (Reported by mfichtner) 13. If POPFile didn't exit gracefully
then statistics were not being saved to disk and would not be up to
date. (Reported by daemon72) 14. The Shutdown page had no CSS because
POPFile was shutdown, we now have a simple SSI solution just for the
shutdown page. (Fix and report by helphand) 15. There was a problem
with Subject Line Modification where if it was turned off every subject
line got an extra space in it. (Reported by and fixed by helphand) 16.
There was a bug where you couldn't look up words that had # in them.
(Reported by adammc and fixed by helphand) 17. Viewing base64 encoded
messages in the History resulted in little useful output. (Reported by
biljir and fixed by pkarlin) 18. sschinke whipped up a new -archive
option that causes message removed from the History to get saved away
on disk. 19. sschinke made POPFile behave better when a POP3 server
suddenly stops responding in the middle of a conversation. DONATIONS
Thank you to everyone who has clicked the Donate! button and donated
their hard earned cash to me in support of POPFile. Thank you also to
the people who have contributed patches, feature requests and bug
reports and big thanks to the two POPFile team members Stan and Sam for
their continued efforts. Keep the ideas and bug reports coming. John.

netrik release: 1.3.0 (alpha)
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=255645
Netrik is a fairly complete text-based web browser; it is useful both
for browsing local documentation and web sites. After another longer
pause, a new version of netrik is now out. There is a fairly simple,
but very convenient new feature: If you go back to a page from history
(or reload the current one), the link which was active when leaving the
page is not only reactivated when it's still in the same place, but
also if the page is somewhat different than it was. This is especially
useful when reading newstickers or other dynamic pages. But even
changing ads can cause layout changes, so this can also help with
otherwise static pages.
