Pennsylvania has ordered all PA ISPs to block sites that have child
porn. If that's not bad enough, they [0]won't tell you which sites
those are because - so the excuse goes - that could be construed as

SCO Group Lawsuit Q&A
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/04/04/1813221
[0]althalus writes "[1]PLUG, the Provo Linux Users Group, of Utah
recently requested representatives from SCO to answer the questions of
the local *nix users regarding their lawsuit. Since this topic has been
the point of a bit of discussion here on slashdot ( [2]1, [3]2, [4]3,
[5]4) We figured it might be nice to get some of the questions from
here. SCO has agreed to allow us to submit a list of questions ahead of
time, and we will contain some of the highest moderated slashdot
questions. SCO has warned us, that since this is an active lawsuit,
there are some questions that obviously cannot be answered at this
time, but overall, feel free to ask. Notes/Answers will be submitted to
slashdot afterwards." Think of this as a third party Ask SCO almost
anything.

in Linux, courtesy of [2]Icculus.org. Ironically, a win32 port has yet
to be released. Features include full sound support, hi-res video modes
(aka VESA modes for those familiar with DOS), saved games, full screen
or windowed viewing, and even the BUILD editor works (to a degree). No
mouse, demos, or networking just yet, but the basic gameplay is there
and now that the BUILD engine has been ported a win32 version is soon
on the horizon."

KCachegrind Calltree 0.2.93 (Calltree Skin) http://freshmeat.net/releases/118622/
KCachegrind visualizes traces generated by profiling, in various ways, including a TreeMap visualization of the calls happening, and a condensed version, the Coverage analysis. It's designed to be fast and to provide a quick overview of very large programs, such as KDE applications. It uses Cachegrind as profiling backend, which uses the CPU simulator in Valgrind. Thus, profiling does not need any preparation, can cope with shared libraries and plugin architectures, and allows for profile runs to not influence the measuring by the profile itself, however, the disadvantage to this is slower profile runs.
