AOL Blocks Telstra Bigpond Mail

Telemarketer Blows Whistle on Tape-Altering Scam http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/04/28/0037215

Until they laid off some people, one of whom has [0]blown the whistle. The companies' cramming tactics become "legal" by altering those taped recordings to include a quick statement about the $30 charge. MSNBC has the article, including a short audio clip of a sample call. Links

An Affordable Air Purifier For Dusty Computer Labs? http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/04/28/0215240
Alcimedes writes "Our lab has a serious issue with dust. I've had a
number of power supplies stop working because of dust clogging up the
fans, and it's getting annoying. So I'm looking into some kind of small
(under $500) air filtration system, and was wondering if anyone else
out there has already gone down this road. If so, what did you buy and
would you buy it again? I'd prefer something where I don't have to keep
buying filters, but that may just be a pipe dream." Anyone with cats
knows the feeling. Can you suggest a reasonably priced answer to
dust-borne failure?

Comrade Pikachu writes "[0]These guys have apparently fit a hard drive based MP3 player into a Kalashnikov ammunition clip. They are accepting pre-orders now. It fits into a standard AK-47 and comes pre-loaded with over 200 audio books. Listen to Poe on your assault rifle!" Audiobooksforfree also is one of the few places I've found online with free (low-fi) audiobooks -- for greater fidelity, you can buy files or pre-loaded hard drives, or (at long last) this unorthodox player.

Calling Software Reliability Into Question http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/04/27/2026257
phillymjs writes "CNN is running a [0]story on software reliability, and how the lack of it may cost more and more lives as technology creeps further into everyday products. It appears a debate is finally starting amongst everyday (read: non-geek) people about vendor liability for buggy software. Some opponents of the liability push are unsurprising: Says the story, 'Microsoft contends that setting [reliability] standards could stifle innovation, and the cost of litigation and damages could mean more expensive software.' The article also says, however, that consumers' favortism of flashy products over reliable ones is partly to blame for the current state of software." Links

Sensor Networks For Surveillance And Security http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/04/27/1828224
[0]gpmap writes "Small Times has an article on the [1]coming age of
all-pervasive sensor networks that will feed information of all sorts
to monitoring networks. Technology advances have generated intense
interest in sensor networks: 'the magic words are surveillance and
security.' The Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) hosted the second
Information Processing in Sensor Networks workshop this week amid
anticipation of significant funding grants from the National Science
Foundation. Most believe miniaturization, whether through conventional
methods, MEMS or nanotech, will drive the spread of sensor networks.
But plenty of issues need working through, on the hardware, software
and social fronts."

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.

http://freshmeat.net/releases/121227/
ipsvd is a set of "internet protocol service daemons". It

connections, it conditionally runs an arbitrary program to handle the
connection. ipsv daemons can be told to read and follow pre-defined
instructions on how to handle incoming connections. It's possible to
run different programs, set a different environment, deny a connection,
or set a per host concurrency limit that depends on the client's
address or hostname. ipsvd can be used to run services usually run by
inetd, xinetd, or tcpserver. Normally the ipsv daemons are run by a
supervisor process, such as runsv from the runit package, or supervise
from the daemontools package.
