Civil 0.82 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=284082
Civil 0.82 was released today. This version includes faster LOS code, support for battles from multiple theatres and numerous bug fixes and enhancements. Civil is a turn-based strategy game about battles in the American Civil War. Features network play, fancy graphics and audio.
PCGen 5.1.6 is available
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=284520
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. Mac OS X
users - if you quit PCGen using close or quit, your preferences will
not be saved. The preference files are only saved if you use the
File->Exit menu item to exit PCGen. This is a java issue (our thanks to
Conor for finding the reason for this long-standing issue!) 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:
pcgen516_part1of3.zip, pcgen516_part2of3.zip and pcgen516_part3of3.zip.

OpenEJB 0.9.2 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=282705
The 0.9.2 release is one that the whole team is quite proud of. OpenEJB
0.9.0 marked are first release with special Tomcat embedded support.
Thanks to all the user feedback that support has just gotten better and
better. The 0.9.2 release contains a neat surprise for OpenEJB/Tomcat
users -- TOOLS! The new integration features a webapp with a setup
verifier, JNDI browser, EJB viewer, Class browser, and even an Object
invoker! You can browse the OpenEJB namespace and know right away
exactly where the ejb is and what it is called. When you find one you
like, just click it and it will open up into the EJB viewer. While
there you can check out it's home, remote and bean classes in the class
browser. The Object invoker allows you to actually create and invoke
your EJBs without writing a single line of code. OpenEJB 0.9.2 also
contains a new openejb.base variable to complement the openejb.home
variable. The openejb.base variable allows you to have several
configurations of OpenEJB all running against the same OpenEJB install.
This makes using OpenEJB in IDEs like Eclipse or NetBeans even easier.
Move the openejb_loader-0.9.2.jar into your project's lib directory,
set the openejb.base, and you'll be debugging your EJB apps
front-to-back without the need for remote debugging support or special
editor plug-ins. Thanks to all the OpenEJB users for all the great
ideas! You speak, we listen.

Scientists Grow Decaffeinated Coffee Plants
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/06/19/0459201
An anonymous reader writes "According to a CBC News story, researchers
have genetically modified coffee seedlings to [0]produce up to 70 per
cent less caffeine." The Japanese researchers quoted in the article say
"..demand for decaffeinated coffee is growing worldwide. Caffeine can
trigger palpitations, increase blood pressure and disrupt sleep in
sensitive people", and so "..used a tool called RNA interference to
genetically engineer the one-year-old plants." Seems like these boffins
may be competing against the University Of Hawaii researchers we
[1]mentioned last year to take away your buzz.

Gemstar Ebook Crashes, Burns
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/06/19/0137232
[0]Robotech_Master writes "In [1]a lengthy announcement on its ebook
catalog page, [2]Gemstar, owner of [3]TV Guide and the
[4]Rocket/Gemstar eBook, has announced it is going out of the ebook
business. Gemstar will not be selling any new devices or ebook content
after July 16th. Of particular interest to those who purchased the
[5]newer Gemstar eBook models that eliminated the ability to install
free content directly on the devices: 'We will also continue to provide
the newly released [6]Personal Content feature available through the
web bookstore at least through July 16, 2006.' It's too bad, really;
I've heard that the Gemstar has one of the [7]most legible displays of
any of the ebook alternatives available. They could have done quite
well as general-purpose reading devices, if Gemstar had not [8]locked
them directly to its own overpriced content in a stunning demonstration
of self-proctology."

[0]dipfan writes "This is serious - the U.S. government has decided to
levy steep [1]import tariffs on South Korean computer chips (and
[2]Vietnamese catfish). The result is a 44 percent tariff on DRAM
semiconductors made by [3]Hynix. The case was brought by Micron
Technology on the grounds that the South Koreans were [4]receiving
unfair subsidies. Hynix says the tariff is 'outrageous', and the South
Koreans plan to appeal to the World Trade Organisation."

Sweden To Outlaw File Sharing, Crypto Breaking? http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/06/18/2328233
Martin Kallisti writes "The [0]Swedish Department of Justice has today
proposed a bill to be put into effect, if it passes Parliament, on the
1st of January, 2004. It is in accordance to EU directives, but will
also criminalize the downloading of material from the Internet without
the explicit permission of the copyright holder. Furthermore, it will
become illegal to break cryptos, circumvent copy protection (mod chips
et al), copy books, and as I understand it, use software that is
designed to help with any of these tasks, and many other things." An
anonymous reader points to [1]an English-language article about this
Swedish EUCD proposal, which also mentions a hefty $4 levy on blank
digital media such as CD-ROMs.

development prices soaring and space on retail shelves getting scarce,
smaller companies like [1]PopCap Games and [2]GarageGames are returning
to gaming's roots - and making money in the process."

USB 1.1 Renumbered To USB 2?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/06/18/2025210
[0]Teese writes "According to [1]this Bangkok Post article, in December
the [2]USB Forum renamed USB 1.1 to USB 2, and USB 2 stayed as USB 2.
They did this because consumers were demanding that the computers they
buy have USB2 on board. The story also claims that both Sony & toshiba
have released laptops with the USB2 that is really USB1.1. This was the
first I had heard of this and the article said the change took place in
December, has the USB Forum really been able to pull a fast one on us?"

The data were analyzed on large Linux clusters at BNL and in Japan and
France, with the biggest cluster of about 1100 dual-CPU nodes located
at the [5]RHIC Computing Facility. It's nice to see that results are
out so soon after the data were taken. There were previous stories

http://freshmeat.net/releases/126494/
ogmencoder is a Perl script that uses MPlayer/Mencoder and Transcode to create an OGM (audio Vorbis) backup of your DVD, ready to be burned to a CD-R. OGG (but the usual extension for the video files is OGM) is the file format for multimedia developed by the Xiph.org Foundation. It is very similar to the common Microsoft AVI. The main difference between OGM and AVI is that the new format can store audio with the Ogg Vorbis codec. With this codec, you can decrease the bitrate of your movies (I use 64 kbps), saving space to increase the video bitrate. Ogmencoder is completely automatic. Basically, the only thing you have to do is to insert the DVD in the reader and launch the program.
