Do Privacy Fears Allow Terrorism?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/04/04/0526238

    carbon3C writes "[0]Privacy advocates are luddites, says Heather
    MacDonald, a lawyer at the Manhattan Institute. She says we should shut
    up and let the government do what it wants. Our government only wants
    to protect us, and would never misuse technology. How do we send a
    clear message that non-luddites (conservative and liberal) are
    concerned about privacy precisely because we do know so much about
    technology?" Leaving your front door wide open is a great idea, until
    someone you don't know walks through it.

Interview with Jay Michaelson of Wasabi Systems
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/04/04/0425235

    Gentu writes "The main commercial company behind NetBSD is [0]Wasabi
    Systems. The company has contributed advances and big chunks of code to
    the open source project, while they do offer a boxed release of NetBSD.
    However, their main business for the company is the embedded market and
    NetBSD is marketed as an embedded OS. [1]OSNews talked to the Vice
    President of Wasabi Systems, Jay Michaelson. Linux in the embedded
    market is also discussed."

Complex Language Support for PDA's?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/04/04/0240213

    Jasin Natael asks: "What PDA's/Smartphones, etc. support complex
    languages in addition to more 'standard' languages? I'm a student of
    Japanese and am looking for a new PDA or smartphone that operates in
    English, but supports complex character sets. Input is a plus, but it's
    really needed for Contacts, Notes, Websites, and incoming E-Mail at a
    minimum. Would it be easy to add support to a Linux PDA (Zaurus) or
    Pocket PC for this? What about right-to-left languages, like Hebrew and
    Arabic?" 

Pendulum Clock with Atomic Precision
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/04/04/0137210

    [0]u19925 writes "Now you can get [1]atomic clock precision out of your
    grandma pendulum clocks. Here is how it works: There is a camcorder
    fitted inside the clock which monitors the pendulum swing. It has an
    atomic clock signal receiver. It compares the pendulum swings with the
    atomic signal hearbeat. The camcorder also has an arm. If the pendulum
    clock drifts, then it uses its arm to push or pull the pendulum to make
    correction." It's not an April Fool's joke, but it is rather
    impractical.

Information Patents in the US and Europe
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/04/04/0112214

    Over_and_Done writes "[0]First Monday has an article up discussing the
    [1]differences in information process patents between the US and
    Europe. The author mentions that the United States reform is too
    focused on process reform, arguing that they should be instead focusing
    on what is and is not patentable (i.e. Business Method patents). He
    also states that Europe is choosing to instead follow a different
    track, and make the process a little more restrictive, resulting in a
    rift between the US and Europe. The article raises a lot of interesting
    facts that I was not aware of, including the incident where the US
    threatened to walk out of the [2]WIPO [3]meeting because the proposed
    treaty did not 'mandate patents for all fields of activity.' The
    author, although critical of the policies on both sides of the pond
    states that the rift is in some ways healthy, as it encourages an open
    debate and requires people to look at the patent issue from many
    different angles."

    included Counter-Strike log file parser which is provided in a simple
    derivable class. 

cvsdelta 1.6.2 
http://freshmeat.net/releases/118473/

    CVS. Furthermore additional modules, written in different programming
    languages, can be used to extend the capabilities of the eimSMS core.
    This allows you to use eimSMS as a mail to SMS forwarder, a remote
    security warning tool, a SMS Web gateway, or anything else you want.

JCards 3.6 
http://freshmeat.net/releases/118454/

    JCards is a free Java application designed to store and manage data in
    any format that the user defines. Instead of having multiple
    applications/spreadsheets to manage passwords, tasks, shopping lists,

    fields they want. This is accomplished via an easy to use interface
    that requires no understanding of SQL or any other database jargon.
    JCards was initially developed for the Sharp Zaurus SL-5x00 PDA, but
    will run on any desktop or PDA that has a 1.1 or above version of the

Sourceforge
ROBODoc 4.0.0 released 
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=265797

    ROBODoc is a documentation tool. It extracts the documentation from
    commentheaders in the sourcecode and formats it in HTML, RTF, TeX, or
    ASCII. Works with C, Tcl, FORTRAN, and any other language that supports
    remarks. Release of ROBODoc V4.0.0 All previous versions of ROBODoc
    operated on a single file and created a single output file. To create
    the documentation from all the source files of a project a makefile had
    to be written. Documentation was created in two steps, one for the
    crosslinks and one for the actual documentation. It was possible to
    work with subdirectories but this required a lot of wizzardry. This has
    been all changed with this release. All documentation can now be
    created with a single call to robodoc. This makes it much easier to get
    started with ROBODoc. To make it even easier a new tool is available,
    robohdrs, that can insert empty headers in the source code. ROBODoc now
    supports documentation in single file and multiple file format, called
    singledoc and multidoc. In singledoc mode ROBODoc stores all the
    extrated documentation in a single file. This is usefull if you want to
    print the documentation, deliver documentation to a client, or include
    it in a large document. In multidoc mode ROBODOc stores the extrated
    documentation in several files. This is useful if you want to browse
    documentation. The manual has been converted to DocBook format and is
    much more extensive. A HTML version and a printable PDF version are
    available. Besides the source package, RedHat, OS-X, and Debian
    packages are now available. Amiga Guide format output is no longer
    available. TROFF output is temporairily unavailable, but will be
    restored in the next version. SGML DocBook format has been replaced
    with XML DocBook format.

http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=265471

    The current release of TreeGrOSS (Tree Growth Open Source Software) is
    a package which includes the major routines of the growth model, like
    competition, mortality, crown base, crown width, potential height
    growth, diameter and height growth. All these classes are packed in the
    file treegross.jar. This package can be used for specific applications,
    like forest stand simulation or forest inventory prognosis. There is an
    example application for stand simulation which shows how to use the
    treegross package. In addition there are classes for reading in ASCII
    data, drawing a stand map, a parallel stand projection and to report
    single tree values. Version 1.5 and documentation have now been
    released. The program seems fairly stable. There is a new component to
    estimate ingrowth. Also a rule based thinning component which performs
    thinnings according to the LOEWE program was added to the example.
    Since there has been a lot of interest in the growth simulator by
    forester's and researchers from other countries the Java code is
    documented in English.
