Major Step Forward For SVG in the Desktop
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/02/03/129215
[0]Ur@eus writes "SVG the w3c format for Scalable Vector Graphics is
seen as many as the future of desktop icons as it allows for scaling
icons etc. without loss of quality. Dominic Lachowicz has been working
hard on fixing bugs in [1]librsvg over the last few days. The result is
that librsvg now renders all available SVG icons perfectly. Not only do
it render them, but it renders them faster than libpng renders the same
images in png format. Together with the gdkpixbuf plugin librsvg offer
it means GNOME 2.2 will be able to use SVG images not only for icons or
desktop backgrounds, but also for the GUI widgets themselves and the
graphics of the window manager. Dom's announcement can be found [2]on
the librsvg mailinglist. The librsvg site also offer a [3]GNOME 2.2
metatheme using mostly SVG icons including a nice screenshot."

high-end gaming system. They go into things like ECC memory, and the
difference between professional and gaming 3D cards. The Quadro FX 2000

Paper Mounted CPUs
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/02/03/126234
[0]Roland Piquepaille writes "Rafe Needleman discovered an interesting
young Swedish company which is printing really cheap chips. "The
company, [1]Cypak, has technology to mount a very small microprocessor,
which it created, on paper (or inside a credit card), as well as a
technique to print sensors, switches, and very short-range antennae on
the same paper, using special conductive inks." Here is one possible
application designed for drug trials. "Drug trials need data about how
and when subjects consume the drugs being tested. In this application,
a pill pack registers when individual pills are popped out of their
plastic bubbles; it then can beep and ask the user a question like,
'Are you feeling better today? Press Yes or No.' (The answer buttons
are on the pack itself.) When the patient visits the doctor, the
package is placed on a Cypak reader and the data is downloaded to the
physician's computer." Visit [2]this page for more information about
Cypak or read the full [3]Business 2.0 article."

Nickel Sensors Could Raise Hard Disk Capacity http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/02/02/2113237
[0]Makarand writes "Tiny filaments of nickel, thinner than a wavelength
of visible light, acting as magnetic sensors may expand the storage
capacity of hard disks many times. Although, technologies exist to
increase hard disk capacity, reading data bits reliably from such disks
has proven difficult because as data bits become smaller their magnetic
fields are weaker and difficult to pick up. [1]Nickel filaments are
capable of picking up of these weak magnetic fields using a phenomenon
called "ballistic magnetoresistance" which is not completely
understood. As the sensors are only a few atoms wide the electrons
travel along a straight line in the conductor greatly enhancing the
binary signal picked up from the data bits. These sensors could also be
used to detect biomolecules in low concentrations."

This is a great deal for non-technical users, since most of the new-wave consumer Linux products give users a much prettier and easier experience than traditional, all-GPL distributions tailored for a geeky user base. Whether or not the current explosion of Linux use by ordinary people is "good" is still ...

VideoDB 2003-02-02
http://freshmeat.net/releases/111516/
VideoDB is a database to manage your personal video collection. It's mainly designed for videofiles but you can also put your DVDs and VHS tapes in it. It features fetching movie data/covers from the Internet Movie Database (IMDb), local caching of coverimages, an option to mark movies as seen, a search by genre or title/subtitle/plot/cast data, a filter for TV episodes, a random movie function and a simple borrow manager. It is a personal database, so no user management/authentication scheme is implemented. Everybody may add/edit/delete movies.
