It's been a busy 6 months since our previous release! Bochs is now running about twice as fast as version 1.4.1. Also, we can now emulate MMX, SSE/SSE2, and even AMD x86-64 instructions if you turn on the appropriate configure options. We also added two new graphical interfaces, SVGALIB and wxWindows. The wxWindows interface lets you edit all bochsrc options in a graphical form. Macintosh users will be happy to find binaries for MacOSX and MacOS9. Also we now support plugins for several platforms and cleaned up and improved the documentation. Download a copy and give it a spin! http://bochs.sourceforge.net What's changed since version 1.4.1? http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/bochs/bochs/CHANGES?rev= HEAD&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup
UML2EJB 1.3.1 reads XMI 1.2 and UML 1.4
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=237649
UML2EJB is a code generator that builds XDoclet-tagged EJBs from UML models. The models come from CASE tools like Poseidon, Rational Rose and Together ControlCenter.

New Jersey Enacts 'Smart Gun' Law

would require all handguns to be able to recognize their owners and
only fire when their owners grip them. Gun manufacturers will be
required to implement this within three years of the NJ Attorney
General's approval of an acceptable, commercially available model. One
critic says 'No technology is foolproof--anyone who has a computer
knows how many times it crashes.' I'm sure fellow /.ers will have
something to say about that. Also on [2]Google News"

China Forges Ahead With 'Dragon' CPU
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/12/24/0040257
[0]Dynamic Drive writes "There's an interesting article on Cnet
regarding China's eager attempts to lessen her dependence on foreign
technology when it comes to CPUs. The latest endeavor is a [1]homegrown
chip named 'Dragon', which apparently is roughly equivalent in speeds
to those of Intel chips made between 1995-1997, or 200-260MHz. While I
think such an audacious effort is most certainly commendable, I can't
help but wonder what the potential things that could go wrong with
designing a CPU are, such as software incompatibilities etc." This is
the [2]same processor mentioned in September, only now more than 10,000
of the chips have been made.

The Last Straw
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/12/23/1915205
I just put up my first site using slashcode. It took about a week to get from downloading the Mandrake ISO's to having the site pretty complete. I have never used Linux before and I took this on as a learning experience. I am quite happy with the way it all turned out! Anyway, about the site - I found that people seem to complain about celebrities a lot, so I figured that a slash site related to the stupid things celebrities say and do might be a good idea. Check it out and let me know what you think!
WML functionality?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/12/23/1742230
I have been wondering if there is anyone out there using the WML/WAP functionality of Slash? There were some past articles on this subject, but seemingly with no clear answers. I was hoping to be able to generate .wml pages somehow like slashdot.org currently does. Any tips appreciated.
Graphics not appearing in Topic setup
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/12/21/0045251
My newly installed topics were given graphics, in the format of ./images/topics/graphicname.ext and the pictures don't show. I've gone back in and tried changing them to absolute URLs, but when I click "save topic" it reverts back to the old entry. I can click and change sections and those update fine, but the graphic entry doesn't.
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 una tarea use strict; #--- config my $path_in="/home/xavi/slash_2.2.5/fotos_deportivas" ; my $path_out="/home/xavi/slash_2.2.5/images"; #--- config end my $num_files=`ls $path_in/*.jpg|wc -l`; my $file=int rand $num_files; my $count=0; my @files=`cd $path_in;ls *.jpg`; foreach (@files) { $count ++; if ($count == $file) { chomp; system("cp $path_in/$_ $path_out/rand_foto.jpg"); system("cp $path_in/minis/$_ $path_out/rand_mini_foto.jpg"); } } -------------------------- write the block and config crontab for yourself. It's more easy than i can explain with my english level :) Thanks Krow: Yes this is a format nightmare but I thought I would share the submission with people anyways.
Topics not appearing after time
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/12/20/1654254
Installed slashcode and have been modifying it. I added a topic under the admin section. The topic now appears when I go to "new" to create a new story. I removed the build-in topics and added about 7 new topics. The new topics are not listed in the pull-down when I try and create a new story. I've waited more than 24 hours and tried restarting apache, restarting slashd, and rebooting the web server. The topics are listed everywhere on the site that I can look for them *BUT* they're not options when creating a new story. Anyone know why?
Users can't post comments
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/12/19/1754214
This is weird...I just put up a new slashsite for our dept. intranet, and the form to comment on a story doesn't appear when a user clicks "Read More" I'm guessing this is a simple matter of setting a variable, but I can't figure out which one. I've set the following vars: commentstatus = 1 defaultcommentstatus = 0 defaultdisplaystatus = 1 Any suggestions? Thanks.
Integrating Slash with e-commerce?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/12/16/2223251
Does anyone know of sites that have integrated Slashcode with some sort of e-commerce / shopping-cart system? Or, how that might best be done? I'm looking at open-source e-commerce packages such as, for instance, phpShop (http://www.phpshop.org) and osCommerce (http://www.oscommerce.com/) and wondering if and how they could be melded with Slashcode. thanks, Tim.

I have setup a new slashsite for the JEB Stuart High School drama dept.
- Stuartdrama.org. While this isn't really as publically oriented as many other sites, if you live in the Washington DC area, and enjoy high school theatre, visit us! I warn you however - the site is hosted on a DSL line, so speed isn't something we have much of.
