Taxing Text Messages?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/12/21/0418215
[0]Makarand writes "SMS is a very popular way of communication in the
Phillipines with an estimated 14 million phone subscribers sending an
average of 10 text messages a day. However, that may all change if a
proposal from the IMF to impose a tax on SMS is implemented to solve
the country's fiscal problems according to an [1]article in The Straits
Times. The IMF is basing its suggestion on the fact that the country's
tax base currently rests on the troubled sectors of the economybanking
and manufacturing, which cannot be squeezed anymore. Hopefully,
our political think tanks will not get any such ideas."

memory of William Scarboro, one of the game programmers who died
earlier this year. The source is being released under the GPL, so
everyone should be happy. If you ever played ROTT, you might remember

[0]TheViewFromTheGround writes "Why have the years since the merger
with Time Warner been so hard on America Online? Michael Wolff, a
consultant who advised Time Warner not to buy AOL in the early 90's,
says that the the big problem is Time Warner's [1]denial of AOL's core
value: a monopoly on dirty chat. The argument says that AOL was
successful because they had a critical mass of people and that it
skillfully marketed talking dirty by appearing to be family friendly.
Now, the old media bedfellow is pushing AOL to stop its pimping ways."

Adding a rand photo block
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/12/20/1825223
Hello, i have written something for my slash site deporteyciencia.com for having a nice random photo block, i try to describe the process first, and later put all the code. (locally) you need a lot of free photos (locally) you need imagemagick (locally) run the script create_minis.pl for creating the thumbs. Take a look to the destination directories. You can create a captions.txt with the syntaxis: filename::caption(newline)... The captions will be drawn on the image!! put the original images and the thumbs in your site (remote) put the task rand.pl in your site (and change the directories as needed) (remote)configure crontab for running your task daily or hourly. (remote) write a block who shows rand_mini_foto.jpg and links to rand_foto.jpg do nothing and enjoy, or try to write a way for users uploading photos "one day they will appear" The code:
- CREATE_MINIS.PL (remember to change directories and have imagemagick installed)
- #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; #-------- config my $use_captions=1; my $background="#006699"; my $fore="#ffffff"; my $width="190x190"; #-------- config end my @files=`ls *.jpg`; my %captions=(); if ($use_captions) { open F_captions,"captions.txt" or die "ERROR, lack of \"captions.txt\"\n This file has the following sintaxis:\nfilename1::caption1\nfilename2::caption 2\n..."; while () { chomp; my ($filename,$text)=split (/::/,$_); $captions{$filename}=$text; } close F_captions; } foreach (@files) { print $_; chomp; if ($use_captions) { system("convert -resize $width_height $_ minis_with_captions/$_"); if($captions{$_}) { system("convert -box \"$background\" -font helvetica -fill \"$fore\" -draw \"text 0,10 \\\" $captions{$_}\\\"\" $_ images_with_captions/$_"); system("convert -box \"$background\" -font helvetica -fill \"$fore\" -draw \"text 0,10 \\\" $captions{$_}\\\"\" minis_with_captions/$_ minis_with_captions/$_"); } else { print "Error: lack of captions for file $_\n"; } } else { system("convert -resize $width_height $_ minis/$_"); } } -------------------------------- rand.pl (remember to change directory names)
- #!/usr/bin/perl -w #coge una imagen aleatoriamente y la copia en rand_foto.jpg #lo mismo para una foto de las pequeñas, que están en /minis #llamado cada dia por
