phpESP 1.6 Final
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=259801
phpESP provides scripts to let non-technical users create surveys, administer surveys, gather results, view statistics. All managed online after database initialization. MySQL database backend. Version 1.6 incorporates several large changes since version 1.5. New features include: save/resume feature on surveys, self-sign-up for respondents, viewing of individual responses, a graphical interface for cross analysis, and a system test script. Additionally, the install procedure has been streamlined, and the documentation has been updated. Non-English translations should be available out of the box for many more platforms that have GNU Gettext support. Several new translations are available in 1.6 including: Japanese, Swedish, and Greek. There have been some minor database changes since 1.5, so please read the INSTALL guide.
PCGen 4.3.5 is available
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=259786
PCGen is a Java-based RPG character generator and maintenance program
that works on all platforms (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, etc). All
datafiles are ASCII so they can be modified by users, and are available
through the pcgendm project. An XML conversion is underway. We'll soon
be releasing another production release of PCGen - version 5.0.0. We'd
appreciate feedback on the editors, the Companions section of the
Resources tab (especially for Paladins and Blackguards) and the
Equipping tab. We're also considering using that release to migrate
PCGen to using java 1.4.1 now that Apple has released it. This decision
is not final yet, pending our testing efforts. For users who have
trouble getting the 3 zip files to unzip properly, we have some
OS-specific installs that should help minimize the chance of install
related errors. Links to these installs can be found at:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pcgen/files/Alternate%20PCGen%20Releases/
These are the same PCGen everyone else uses, just packaged with
installers which target Windows and Mac OS X users specifically.
Typically there is a lag between when the official release is done and
when these special installers are ready. We always recommend that users
install new versions of PCGen in a 'new' directory. Below is a list of
everything that has been addressed in this release. If you reported one
of these, please verify that it is was addressed properly. PCGen is
available at http://pcgen.sourceforge.net , and the main discussion
group is at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pcgen . If you wish to
discuss making your own custom lst files for use with PCGen, the data
monkeys have made their home at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pcgenlistfilehelp and they pride
themselves in being able to field all questions about the data - from
very basic to very advanced. All three zips are required to run PCGen:
pcgen435_part1of3.zip, pcgen435_part2of3.zip and pcgen435_part3of3.zip.

AviSynth 2.0.8 and 2.5.1 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=259821
Two new versions of AviSynth has been released today. The 2.0.8 version contains critical bugfixes, and is supplied for those who enjoy the stability of the non-beta versions. Avisynth is a scripting language and a collection of filters for simple (and not so simple!) non-linear video editing tasks. It frameserves video to (most) applications. AviSynth 2.5.1 beta is an update to the first 2.5.0 beta and contains many fixes and additions, as well as some considerable speedups. Mainly interlaced processing has been improved vastly, but also general stability should be better.
Quartz 1.0.6 available

Quartz is an enterprise-class Job Scheduler for use in stand-alone and full-blown J2EE Applications. Quartz is very light-weight, highy scalable, and extremely easy to use within your own applications. Changes: Changes in
version 1.0.6 ========================== 1- Added DB2v6Delegate for
usage with JDBC-JobStore and older versions of DB2. 2- Added
HSQLDBDelegate for usage with HSQLDB 1.7.X - previously, MSSQLDelegate
was used by HSQLDB users, but that was confusing. 3- Updated JavaDOC
and table-creation docs for all db types / delegates. 4- Implemented
JobStoreTX.getTriggersForJob(name, group) - it used to throw an
UnsupportedOperationException. 5- Misc small JavaDOC corrections. 6-
Additions to the Quartz tutorial. 7- Introduced
"org.quartz.spi.SchedulerPlugin" interface. 8- Introduced
"org.quartz.plugins.history" package - with plugins for recording
historical data. 9- Fixed bug in CronTrigger related to expressions
using "#" in the day-of-week field. 10- Fixed bug using non-global
JobListeners with the JDBC-Jobstore using OracleDelegate.

pretty high. According to [1] their recent announcement, SuSE 8.2's
release date is set for April 12th. Amongst other nifty features, KDE
3.1 apparently includes tabbed browsing, the ability to sync with
Exchange servers, a new administration tool called "Desktop sharing"

new crypto/security features. Gnome 2.2 is also included, as well as a

The Future of PC Games, According to Microsoft http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/03/14/0113234
[0]Geaty writes "[1]Gamespot has an article up about [2]Microsoft's big
PC plans. Topics covered include why DirectX 9 will be the last DX for
a while, the increased game support in Longhorn, and a 'standard' PC
controller. Looks to this ignorant reader like Microsoft is trying to
tackle the games market (again?), cornering matchmaking and patching.
The controller issue seems like an attempt to bring to the PC platform
some of the uniformity that consoles have."

Building a Better Motorized Bicycle
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/03/13/1757223
[0]toyotaboy writes "Saw this in 'design news' magazine. It's a bicycle
using an engine that looks like [1]something pulled off of an R/C
airplane. He uses a gear reduction system as well as a overrunning
clutch to keep the engine running while stopped. Claims to get 20 mile
range from its 1/4 gallon gas tank (80mpg). If you figure most engines
like that are 30k rpm with 1:100 gear reduction, and an average bike
rim is 26", you should get potentially 1,458,000 inches per hour, or
23mph! He goes on to say that similar devices in electric form (segway)
fail because of their heavy 80lb weight and limited 10-15 mile range
(and where do you recharge?) This thing can be filled back up at any
gas station."

Remote RSA Timing Attacks Practical
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/03/14/0012214
[0]David Brumley and Dan Boneh writes "Timing attacks are usually used
to attack weak computing devices such as smartcards. We show that
timing attacks apply to general software systems. Specifically, we
devise a timing attack against OpenSSL. Our experiments show that we
can extract private keys from a OpenSSL-based server such as Apache
with mod_SSL and stunnel running on a machine in the local network. Our
results demonstrate that timing attacks against widely deployed network
servers are practical. Subsequently, software should implement defenses
against timing attacks. [1]Our paper can be found at Stanford's
[2]Applied Crypto Group."

WETA Digital Operations Mgr. Talks Special Effects http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/03/13/2155229
[0]Xoanon (from TheOneRing.net) writes "I was recently privileged
enough to view a lecture by Milton Ngan. As far as IT stuff goes,
Milton has a pretty good job. You see, he is the Digital Operations
Manager at Weta Digital. He is basically the architect for all the
technical side of things at Weta. Last night he came and gave a 1 hour
lecture at Victoria University outlining the hurdles and obstacles that
needed to be overcome to produce the stunning 3D graphics lying in each
of the Lord of the Rings movies. The lecture itself was full of lots of
facts about Weta, the IT side of things and it also included some very
cool behind the scenes shots of The Two Towers. The following is a
detailed report from the event, where Ngan gave us an amazing
behind-the-scenes look at WETAs infrastructure, their mainframes and
various workstations. There is also a TON of info in regards to the
special effects process, and news about MASSIVE. [1]Take a look."

Texas Court Blocks Screen-Scraper

An anonymous reader writes "A Texas court has granted American Airlines
[0]an injunction against Farechaser to stop them from using a
[1]screen-scraper to copy airfare information from their website in
violation of the terms and conditions. In a stunning display of
hypocrisy, [2]Farechase.com's own terms and conditions prohibit users
from doing to them exactly what they are doing to AA.com. [3]The EFF is
involved, but it's unclear whether they're supporting the
enforceability of a website's terms and conditions or Farechase's right
