Tcllib 1.4.0 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=275116
tcllib is a Tcl-only library of standard routines for Tcl (no compiling required). This release is a minor version change which fixes numerous bugs and provides a lot of enhancements as well. Tcllib 1.4 release
notes ======================== Hello World, welcome to Tcllib 1.4. This
release is a minor version change which fixes numerous bugs and
provides a lot of enhancements as well. Availability ------------ The
released distributions can be downloaded from
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=12883&release_id=
157517 Available are gzipped, zipped, and bzipped tarballs, a starkit,
and a starpack for windows. Installation ------------ * For the starkit
and starpack just execute the file and a GUI based installer will pop
up. Fill out the paths, then run the installation. * For the tarballs
unpack them in some directory /foo, then run the file
"/foo/installer.tcl". This will invoke the same installer used in the
starkit and starpack. Note: While the installer will open up a GUI by
default (and if possible), a command line based installation is
provided too. Run the installer with the option "-help" to see what is
available. Known problems -------------- * When using Tcllib 1.4 on a
true 64bit platform, like Linux/Alpha, or Linux/IA-64 the usage of Tcl
8.4.x is strongly recommended. * Package mime, SourceForge Tcllib Bug
#447037 A special case of the above. This problem affects only people
which are using Tcl and Mime on a true 64-bit system. The currently
recommended fix for this problem is to upgrade to Tcl version 8.4. This
version has extended 64 bit support and the bug does not appear
anymore. The problem could have been generally solved by requiring the
use of Tcl 8.4 for this package. We decided against this solution as it
would force a large number of unaffected users to upgrade their Tcl
interpreter for no reason. See
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=447037&group_id=12883&a tid=112883 for additional information.

functionality into packages it was also greatly expanded. A new

[0]wessman asks: "I started to read [1]Orin S. Kerr's 80-page paper
looking for how his proposal would pertain to: ripping music/movies,
P2P, corporate espionage, and lastly, the use of web scraper robots.
Little did I know just how relevant his paper would be in regards to
that last item! Kerr makes note of [2]EF Cultural Travel v. Explorica
in which Explorica is caught hiring a consultant to program a scraping
robot to gather pricing information from a competitor, EF Cultural
Travel. Well, I do consulting on the side from home and am currently
working a project whereby I gather pricing information from all the
major travel conglomerates (Orbitz, Expedia, Lodging.com, WorldRes,
Sabre, etc.) so that the travel booking business that hired me can meet
or beat all their prices. Granted, the circumstances of the Explorica
case are different and the case was an example of an extreme ruling,
but my questions to the Slashdot community are: Do I notify the company
that hired me of the Explorica case? Why is using a scraper robot so
different from, say, walking into Best Buy with a handheld and
recording product pricing manually? Should I continue with this project
and the similar projects I do in this area of programming?" Now, add in
the text in the "deliverables" section of [3]this press release and it
seems we may have some contradictory information. Who is right, and
under what circumstances is price harvesting off of the internet not
allowed?

http://www.politechbot.com/p-04744.htmlFalling to Earth's Core in a Big Blob of Iron http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/05/14/1930258
[0]Colin Douglas Howell writes "Um...wow. I found this idea [1]via the
BBC, (see also the [2]Nature article), but it's really worth reading
the [3]annotated paper on the subject. (Gotta love the title.)
Basically, you drill a hole in the crust, blast a big crack in it,
inject a huge mass of molten iron with a little probe floating inside
(made out of material which won't melt or dissolve in the iron), and
let the iron mass sink to the core by gravity, carrying the probe with
it. (The initial crack grows downward as the iron sinks.) As the probe
falls, it sends data back using seismic signals that can be picked up
with a gravitational wave observatory like [4]LIGO, but coupled to the
ground. Of course, there are enormous problems with the whole thing,
but it's still cool to read about. To me, the idea is even neater
because it was dreamed up by [5]Dave Stevenson, one of my old
professors (and one of the best professors I've ever had). I hope he
doesn't mind being Slashdotted. :-)"

informing them that they may be liable for using Linux, a supposed
infringing product. They mentioned that they will begin using tactics
like those of the RIAA in taking action against end-users of Linux.
This seems like it will be about as successful as the whole GIF ordeal
