[0]deque_alpha writes "The [1]Gentoo Linux distribution has been forked
by a group of Gentoo developers and community members. This fork is
being placed under the control of the non-profit [2]Zynot Foundation,
which will "hold the source code, trademarks, and any other
intellectual property developed by and for its community." The [3]goals
of the fork include improving stability and cross-platform reliability
to bring the Gentoo-developed technology to the enterprise and embedded
arenas." Another reader points out Zack Welsh's long article at
Zynot.org on [4]reasons for forking the Gentoo distribution.

An anonymous reader writes "There's a new BusinessWeek article looking
at [0]some of the cool hacks coming out of Amazon's [1]open API and XML

who seek to make a living selling products based on the data Amazon is

Hall, in a talk in Birmingham, UK, that emphasized the role of
open-source software outside the United States.'"

RIAA To Sue Hundreds Of File Swappers
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/06/25/1811255
Shackleford writes "[0]The Washington Post has an [1]article saying that the RIAA is preparing hundreds of lawsuits against Internet users who illegally trade copyrighted music files. The lawsuits will target people who share 'substantial' amounts of copyrighted music, but anyone who shares illegal files is at risk, RIAA President Cary Sherman said in a conference call today. The first round of lawsuits will be prepared during the next eight to 10 weeks. They will ask for injunctions and monetary damages against file swappers. It seems that after a federal judge ruled in April that file-sharing services have legal uses and thus should not be shut down, the RIAA has found that it must go after individual users rather than the services that they use." palmech13 points to a [2]similar article on Yahoo News.

jpegpixi 0.9
http://freshmeat.net/releases/127219/
"Jpegpixi" is short for "JPEG pixel interpolator". It is a command-line utility which interpolates pixels in JFIF images (commonly refered to as "JPEG images"). This is useful to correct images from a digital camera with CCD defects. Jpegpixi is unique in that it tries to preserve the quality of the JFIF image as much as possible. Most graphics programs decode JFIF images when they are loaded, and re-encode them when they are saved, which results in an overall loss of quality. Jpegpixi, on the other hand, does not decode and re-encode the image, but manipulates the encoded image data, protecting the quality of the image as much as possible.

The interface is simplistic and fast, meant for immidiate plug and play access.
mpiBLAST 1.1.1
http://freshmeat.net/releases/127217/
mpiBLAST is an MPI based parallel implementation of NCBI BLAST. It consists of a pair of programs that replace formatdb and blastall with versions that execute BLAST jobs in parallel on a cluster of computers with MPI installed. There are two primary advantages to using mpiBLAST versus traditional BLAST. First, mpiBLAST splits the database across each node in the cluster. Because each node's segment of the database is smaller it can usually reside in the buffer-cache, yielding a significant speedup due to the elimination of disk I/O. Second, it allows BLAST users to take advantage of efficient, low-cost Beowulf clusters because interprocessor communication demands are low. mpiBLAST achieves super-linear speedup in situations where the database is too large to fit into RAM, and near linear speedup in other situations. It does not require a dedicated cluster.
