picoGUI: An X Alternative?

Charging Does Help Yahoo Make A Profit

It says that while many are angry about the change enough     people are paying that it is helping Yahoo rebound from their slump.     This seems like a recent trend in e-business." The conventional wisdom     around web stuff that's been free, but converts to pay is that "they     die off, no one wants to use it anymore etc etc", but I think what     people fail to realize is that for many businesses, less people is     *just fine*, if those people are paying.

Slashcode
How to kickstart meta-moderation?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/11/13/0311207

    I have a small slash site with a small number of users (by design) with     a few dozen stories and probably fewer than 200 comments posted so far.     The slash engine is handing out moderation points, perhaps because I     reset some of the configuration variables. But meta-moderation is not     operating.I recall that this has something to do with the number of     moderations (I'd look in the archives but the search function on     slashcode has been down for a while...). Unfortunately, I have one user     who could stand some meta-moderation NOW, before he drives other users     away with his down-mods. Yet I don't see any configuration variables or     anything else I can tweak to make meta-moderation start up. I would     rather the enforcement of community standards come from the community     rather than some heavy-handed act by the site administration. Any way     to force meta-moderation on?

Show Domains: Explain, please.
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/11/10/057254

    On the user comments options page, an option exists to "Show the links     domain only in recommended situations". What are the "recommended     situations", exactly? How does this differ from the option to "Always     show link domains"?

Upgrading to MySQL 4?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/11/03/015232

    In order to support some other projects I need to roll out on my     server, I need to upgrade to a real ACID database, which supports     transactions. Has anybody yet tried using Slash running on MySQL 4.0,     which now supports transactions? Are there any caevats or tricks to     doing the switchover, beyond the general upgrade notes for MySQL?

Slash plugins and version 2.3
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/11/01/0552241

    I've been looking at a lot of modules (specifically email.pm and     Galleria), and it appears that they all require Slash version 2.3. Is     upgrading from 2.2.6 to one of the 2.3 versions dangerous? Is it as     simple as compiling and installing? Are there places to get these     plugins written for the release version of Slash? Or am I being a     nincompoop?

How to Make Users Authors?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/10/30/200220

    What is the proper way to turn users into authors? I'm interested in     this because I would like to use Slash as something my group uses to     communicate with each other and the world. I would like the people in     the group to function as the authors since it is their site. I've been     looking around in documentation and FAQs but can't find this documented     anywhere.

SubnetID is masked using what?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/10/30/1959257

    When Slash stores the SubnetID in the database, what Subnet mask is it     using? I was hoping to find this in the vars table, but no luck. Any     ideas?

www.vorlonspace.org
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/10/29/2232226

    It's still in development for other things, but vorlonspace.org is now     up and running (for the most part). Thanks to the guys on the irc     channel that helped me with some of the configuration issues I had.     This site is going to be a nexus of Babylon 5 information stemming from     the television show to the out of print customizable card game.

    I have a new site up and running, not Much in the way of content but I     do have some information about one of my projects up at this point.     Enjoy.

Code for Moderator Status Headline on Front Page? http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/10/26/1952222

    Slashdot is now running a very useful banner on the front page when the     user is a moderator: "You have X Moderator Points! Use 'em or lose     'em!". My users have been asking for something like this for weeks. Can     someone point me to the appropriate template mod please?

Comment Status "Read-only" means what, exa http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/10/24/1558218

    There are 3 posible commentcodes defined in the default installation of     the code_param table: "Comments Enabled", "Comments Disabled", and     "Read Only". The first two options are fairly obvious, either allowing     or disallowing comments in the discussion (I presume). But what is the     "Read Only" option for? How does it differ from "Comments Disabled"?
