Tcl/Tk 8.4.3 release
Tool Command Language (Tcl) is an interpreted language and very portable interpreter for that language. Tcl is embeddable and extensible, and has been widely used since its creation in 1988 by John Ousterhout. The Tcl Core Team is pleased to announce the 8.4.3 releases of the Tcl scripting language and the Tk toolkit. This is the third patch release of Tcl/Tk 8.4. Tcl/Tk 8.4.3 Release Announcement May 20, 2003 The Tcl Core Team is pleased to announce the 8.4.3 releases of the Tcl scripting language and the Tk toolkit. This is the third patch release of Tcl/Tk 8.4. More details can be found below. We would like to express our gratitude to all those who submit bug reports and patches. This information is invaluable in enabling us to identify and eliminate problems in the core. Where to get the new releases:
SCons 0.14 adds Java support, Autoconf-like functionality http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=279029 SCons alpha release 0.14 is now available for download. SCons is a software construction tool (build tool, or substitute for Make) implemented in Python, based on the winning design in the Software Carpentry build tool competition (in turn based on the Cons build tool). This release most notably adds support for Java builds (javac, javah, rmic and jar), and adds integrated Autoconf-like functionality for finding #include files and libraries. This release also contains significant performance improvements from previous releases. IMPORTANT: Release 0.14 contains the following interface changes: - Tool specifications no longer take a "platform" argument. - Emitter functions in Builders are now passed Node objects, not strings, for all targets and sources. - New TargetSignatures() and SourceSignatures() functions have been added to replace SetBuildSignatureType() and SetContentSignatureType(). - The Export() function and the exported variables argument of SConscript() now search for variables using the same rules as Python: local first, then global. - The SetJobs() and GetJobs() functions have been deprecated in favor of using SetOption('num_jobs', num) and GetOption('num_jobs'). - Callable expansions of construction variables in a command line now take a fourth "for_signature" argument that is set when the expansion is being called to generate a build signature. - Construction variables for building a target are now frozen when the Builder is called; later changes to the Environment do not necessarily affect how the target is build. See the release notes for more information about these changes. This release adds the following features: - Support for the Java tools javac, javah, rmic and jar has been added. - A Configure() function has been added that supports a lot of functionality similar to Autoconf. - A new PLATFORM construction variable stores a string representing the platform on which SCons is being run. - Dependencies may now be specified on in-core Python values. - Help text can now be sorted arbitrarily. - New $TARGET and $SOURCE attributes: ".posix" expands to a path name with forward slashes as separators, even on Win32 systems; ".srcpath" expands to a path to the source of a file in a BuildDir; ".srcdir" expands to a path to the BuildDir itself. - A new clear() method resets a Node's state for re-use by continuous integration build interfaces. - Support for using Ghostscript to convert Postscript to PDF files has been added. - A stand-alone "Alias" function has been added. - Import('*') will now import everything that's been Export()ed.
Python 2.2.3 rc 1
The first and hopefully only release candidate for Python 2.2.3 is now out. See http://www.python.org/2.2.3 for details. We expect Python 2.2.3 final to be released within a week of this announcement. DocBook XSL Stylesheets V1.61.2 released http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=279457 Major bug fix for 1.61.1 and accumulated enhancements and fixes from previous releases.
TuxTyping 1.5.0 released
After over a year of development with no releases, we are pleased to present Tux Typing 2 "Preview" release. Most of the internals have been rewritten with a focus on extensibility and internationalization. Creating a language pack is now as simple as creating a file for translations (lang.po file), maybe finding a font [1], setting up how the keyboard maps to the characters [2], and finally creating some word lists. TuxTyping is an educational typing tutorial game for children starring Tux, the Linux Penguin. It is graphical and requires SDL. It is free software copyrighted under the Gnu GPL. There is a new style of game "Comet Zap" and the start of tutor components with the new "Practice" mode. We really look forward to getting feedback about what parents/teachers/students/kids think about the new work. This release has a few rough edges, but we feel that it is time to let the world see what has been happening with Tux Typing. We have forums, mailing lists, and most importantly windows and linux builds are available at http://tuxtype.sf.net We are already hard at work at 1.5.1 and hope to have it released soon making it even easier for translators and users! Thanks, Jesse Andrews - jdandr2@uky.edu Calvin Arndt - calarndt@tux4kids.net Notes: [1] We are using a font that has support for many languages (Dansk, English, French, Spanish, ...) So if the included font works with your language, you don't need to find a new font. [2] for instance in the default (English) language pack, we set up the game so if the student presses 'A' or 'a' it both works for "A".
JGraph Geneva (v2.1.1) released

Slashdot
[0]Cody Watkins writes "Reuters has a story about Kazaa surpassing ICQ as the [1]most downloaded piece of software (according to C|Net Download.com). 'As of late Thursday, the Kazaa Media Desktop application -- a file-sharing software that has drawn the wrath of the music industry by enabling its users to swap songs for free -- had been downloaded 229,150,955 times, as measured by Download.com.'"

The Changing Definition Of 'Kilogram'
[0]DrLudicrous writes "The NYTimes is reporting that the platinum-iridium standard mass for the kilogram is [1]shedding at an appreciable rate -- at least compared to other reference masses. The Pt-Ir cylinder is kept in France, and measured annually, and the slight discrepancy is important because the kg is an SI base unit- thus other quantities such as the Volt are based on it. A new standard is being sought- the two frontrunners are counting the number of atoms in a perfectly spherical single crystal of silicon, and another technique uses a device known as the Watt balance."

Investigating Artificial Black Holes
Robber Baron writes "I remember years ago watching a cartoon in which an inventor had managed to create 'portable holes.' Now along those lines, according to [0]this story in the [1]Christian Science Monitor, scientists are on the threshhold of developing the 'do-it-yourself black hole' (Well, no, it's not quite do-it yourself as you need a pretty large collider to pull it off.) They're hoping to use the new [2]Large Hadron Collider at the [3]European Center for Nuclear Research to create many tiny black holes and observe the Hawking Effect as they dissipate. Keep your shotgun handy though, as they are more than likely going to open up a portal into another dimension and all sorts of nasties are going to come pouring out." Links

waimate writes "The European Union [0]today decided to go ahead with
Galileo, the constellation of 30 satellites which will compete with the
U.S. GPS system. The U.S. abolished [1]selective availability three
years ago partly to make GPS more useful for all mankind, but also to
dissuade other countries from developing their own navigational
satellite system, and thus be dependant on the U.S. for both peaceful
and military purposes. Since the demise of the Russian [2]GLONASS
system, GPS is the only game in town. Evidently recent events make
Europe feel less comfortable about such things, and so they're building
their own. Good thing for commercialization of space, or bad thing for
world peace?"

Bayesian Filtering For Dummies
[0]Dynamoo writes "Bayesian filtering for spam is awfully clever stuff, touched on by Slashdot several times before. There's a very accessible [1]article at BBC News explaining in fairly simple terms the drawbacks of current keyword-based filtering. It's slightly ironic that the BBC, through the commissioning of Monty Python, also gave 'spam' its name. Those Vikings have a lot to answer for."

Cyber Insurance Between the Lines
Shackleford writes "Security Focus has an article that discusses [0]insurance policies regarding 'computer attacks and cyber sabotage.' It discusses a case in which an administrator who set up back doors in the system with which he was trusted deleted files to which he could access after he was fired. His company had insurance against dishonest acts by employees, but not against 'acts of destruction.' Eventaully, the company won, but the case went to litigation. So the lesson to be learned here is that your company may have 'cyber insurance' without knowing it, but you need to be sure about it."
