Now why can't auto makers put this kind of thing in a dash instead of mostly worthless GPS navigation and DVD units?" Links

Massachusetts Probing Microsoft Settlement Gripes http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/07/07/2333243
tassii writes "In [0]this article from Reuters, Massachusetts' DA's office told the judge in the Microsoft Anti-trust trial that it was looking into Microsoft settlement complaints. Among complaints being examined by Massachusetts was whether Microsoft had violated portions of the settlement prohibiting pacts requiring exclusive support of Microsoft software. Massachusetts was also examining whether the company had properly offered communications protocols allowing non-Microsoft software to work well with Windows." An [1]Associated Press article covers the same story; the non-Microsoft software mentioned in both stories is Linux, but it's not clear which company's promotion of Linux is drawing the attention.

[0]mark_wilkins writes "A photographer named Leslie Kelly had sued
Arriba Soft Corporation for infringing his copyrights to photos when
they made thumbnails of his pictures and stored them in a public image
search engine. Today the federal 9th Circuit Court of Appeals
[1]affirmed the district court's ruling that making these thumbnail
copies of images for the search engine was 'fair use.' Since the
applicability of fair-use defenses to copyright infringement touches on
all kinds of common uses of the Internet as well as rulemaking related
to the [2]scope of the DMCA, this decision will probably have an effect
on the discussion. (Note that this case was decided by a 3-judge panel
and thus isn't binding precedent.)" Note that the court also reversed
in part the lower court's ruling, specifically saying that the lower
court should not have ruled on "whether the display of the larger image
is a violation of Kelly's exclusive right to publically display his
works."

Freenet because it is too clunky for them to get their quick hit of

Saving an old laptop with Knoppix
http://newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/07/06/212212

When I went to install a recent Debian system I had trouble with PCMCIA under the 2.2 kernel, and XFree gave me a blank screen under 2.4. Knoppix, however, made everything work automagically (with the exception of sound).

PHPCoder 1.0
http://freshmeat.net/releases/128586/
PHPCoder is a Web-based frontend to the Turck MMCache encoding functions, which are similar to the Zend Encoder product. PHPCoder enables you to encode your PHP scripts and applications into non-reversible byte-code, thus preventing users of your programs from viewing or alterting the source code while having full functionality. Another excellent use for PHPCoder is to encode your applications PHP configuration files, that way someone viewing your source code does not see your databae login and password information. It also allows you to set restrictions on the encoded scripts, you can lock a script to a particular server IP address, server host name, visitor IP, or even place a time limit on the script so it will expire after a configurable amount of time. You specify Text, HTML, or PHP code that should be prepended and appended to each file before it is encoded, allowing you to easily and securely implement your own licensing scheme.
