Australia To Fast-Track Anti-Spam Bill
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/09/09/0324222
Crypto Gnome writes "[0]News Interactive is reporting that anti-spam legislation is being fast-forwarded by the Australian Federal Government. The proposed law will ban sending commercial emails without the recipient's prior consent and ban the use of email harvesting or list-generating software. Naturally, this will only directly impact local Australian spammers, but they're also hoping this will set a precedent for the International community." Banning list-generation software seems a bit heavy-handed, doesn't it? Links

Quantum Cryptography Gets Nanotube Boost http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/09/09/0312215
[0]c1ay writes "In an [1]article at the [2]ScienceDaily News it is
reported that two researchers at the University of Rochester have
discovered a new property of carbon nanotubes, ideal photon emission.
"The emission bandwidth is as narrow as you can get at room
temperature," says Lukas Novotny, professor of optics at Rochester and
co-author of the study. Such a narrow and steady emission can make such
fields as quantum cryptography and single-molecule sensors a practical
reality. [3]RSA and [4]Elliptic Curve wouldn't stand a chance against
this unbreakable encryption."

Judge OKs Competitive Pop-Up Ads
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/09/09/0325225
[0]Mirkon writes "A while back, U-Haul filed suit against adware giant
WhenU for displaying competing advertisements to users as they browsed
U-Haul's site. Friday, District Judge Gerald Bruce Lee's [1]ruling
[2]dismissed U-Haul's suit, saying '...the fact is that the computer
user consented to this detour when the user downloaded WhenU's computer
software from the Internet,' and 'Alas, we computer users must endure
pop-up advertising along with her ugly brother, unsolicited bulk
e-mail, "spam," as a burden of using the Internet.' While the ruling
was issued in the context of unfair competitive marketing, it's
speculated that this will have broad implications in the fight against
adware - and they aren't kind to the user. WhenU chief executive Avi
Naider is unfortunately quoted as saying 'This is a victory for
consumer choice -- it ultimately protects consumers' right to control
what they see on their computer screens.'"

World Nuclear University Launched
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/09/08/2023204
[0]nuke-alwin writes "The first meeting of the 'academic council' of
the newly-launched [1]World Nuclear University (WNU) was held in the UK
last week. The mission of the WNU is to strengthen the international
community of people and institutions to guide and further develop
nuclear power and many other nuclear applications (in agriculture,
medicine, environmental protection). As workers in the nuclear industry
are aging, organisations have started Young Generation Networks such as
the [2]YGN of the [3]British Nuclear Energy Society. The WNU is a
further recognition that the nuclear industry needs to educate a new
generation of workers, so that nuclear power can continue to provide
electricity without the production of greenhouse gases."

Historic Linux File Archive Created

[0]jemagid writes "[1]Ibiblio (nee metalab, nee sunsite) has rummaged
through all the old CDs and old FTP archives we could find, to put
together a beautiful picture of the early days of the Linux community:
[2]Historic Linux. The files include snapshots of the early Linux
archives including sunsite.unc.edu and tsx-11.mit.edu, and early
distributions such as MCC (Manchester Computing Center) and SLS
(Softlanding Linux Systems), which were some of the first attempts to
make Linux easy to install and use. The early RedHat releases are also
included, as is early Suse, Debian, Slackware, and Blade. The early
distributions ran on machines as small as 386's with 2-4 MB of RAM, so
these could be fun ways to resurrect ancient hardware."

Oracle putting different spin on an old strategy
http://newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/09/08/2333234
- by Chris Preimesberger - SAN FRANCISCO -- The date was June 14, 2001. I remember it well; it was a hot, sunny day on the banks of the San Francisco Bay.

DKMS 0.34.10
http://freshmeat.net/releases/135262/
DKMS (Dynamic Kernel Module Support) is a framework where device driver source can reside outside the kernel source tree so that it is very easy to rebuild modules as you upgrade kernels. This allows Linux vendors to provide driver drops without having to wait for new kernel releases (as a stopgap before the code can make it back into the kernel), while also taking out the guesswork for customers attempting to recompile modules for new kernels. For veteran Linux users it also provides some advantages since a separate framework for driver drops will remove kernel releases as a blocking mechanism for distributing code.
DRT 0.4.0
http://freshmeat.net/releases/135190/
DRT is a design recovery tool for interactive graphical applications running under the X Window System. The tool automatically captures actions performed while using such an application.

One can search and browse these actions to learn about the design of an application.
DSPAM 2.7.0-beta.1
http://freshmeat.net/releases/135217/
DSPAM is a server-side anti-spam agent for UNIX email servers. It masquerades as the email server's local delivery agent and filters/learns spam using a Bayesian statistical approach which provides an administratively maintenance-free, self-learning anti-spam service. Each email is broken down into its most interesting tokens, each assigned a spam probability. All probabilities are then combined to produce a statistical probability of spam. This approach, applied to a mature corpus of email, has the potential to yield a 99.75% success rate with less than a 0.03% chance of false positives.
E-Cell System 3.1.98 (ecell3)
http://freshmeat.net/releases/135236/
E-Cell System is an object-oriented software suite for modelling, simulation, and analysis of large scale complex systems such as biological cells.

e4Graph 1.0a9
http://freshmeat.net/releases/135188/
e4Graph is a C++ library that allows programs to store graph-like data persistently and to access and manipulate that data efficiently. With e4Graph, you can arrange your data in the most natural form that reflects the relationships between its parts, rather than having to force it into a table-like format. The e4Graph library also allows you to concentrate on the relationships you want to represent, and not on how to store them in a database. You can modify data items, and add and remove connections and relationships between pieces of data on the fly. e4Graph allows you to represent an unlimited number of different connections between pieces of data, and your program can selectively manipulate the data according to the relationships it cares about, not having to know about other connections represented in the data set.

http://freshmeat.net/releases/135196/

This allows you to check and correct your distributed, persisted, and logged object data, and process it with XSLT, SAX, and DOM.
