in all the right places. It's currently being cited over at [2] Heath
Row's Media Diet and [3]The Comics Journal's Journalista blog. Media
Diet says thinks it's the first report of its kind. The Comics Journal
says it's how to migrate comic books from print to web and make it
work. I think it's a somewhat comprehensive overview, and the bit about
print-on-demand comics is interesting."

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to the [0]IntyOS site, which
[1]has released Version 0.2 Alpha of a "multitasked operating system

"..includes a powerful GUI which handles a mouse pointer, windows,
menus, icons, etc", and was "..written from scratch in CP-1600 assembly
language in order to fit exactly to the hardware specificities of the
Intellivision. Its main goal is now to see how far it's possible to go
with today's technologies on such a limited system from the early 80's"

is interesting because it is a SiS based, fanless 233 MHZ system
measuring only 4.75 x 6.25 x 1.9 inches, and it can run off BOTH AC and
DC. If you need something larger / powerful, they have [3]other
Mini-ITX based systems, which they claim is built "on same factory that

RIAA To Sue Hundreds Of File Swappers
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/06/25/1811255
Shackleford writes "[0]The Washington Post has an [1]article saying that the RIAA is preparing hundreds of lawsuits against Internet users who illegally trade copyrighted music files. The lawsuits will target people who share 'substantial' amounts of copyrighted music, but anyone who shares illegal files is at risk, RIAA President Cary Sherman said in a conference call today. The first round of lawsuits will be prepared during the next eight to 10 weeks. They will ask for injunctions and monetary damages against file swappers. It seems that after a federal judge ruled in April that file-sharing services have legal uses and thus should not be shut down, the RIAA has found that it must go after individual users rather than the services that they use." palmech13 points to a [2]similar article on Yahoo News.

jpegpixi 0.9
http://freshmeat.net/releases/127219/
"Jpegpixi" is short for "JPEG pixel interpolator". It is a command-line utility which interpolates pixels in JFIF images (commonly refered to as "JPEG images"). This is useful to correct images from a digital camera with CCD defects. Jpegpixi is unique in that it tries to preserve the quality of the JFIF image as much as possible. Most graphics programs decode JFIF images when they are loaded, and re-encode them when they are saved, which results in an overall loss of quality. Jpegpixi, on the other hand, does not decode and re-encode the image, but manipulates the encoded image data, protecting the quality of the image as much as possible.

The interface is simplistic and fast, meant for immidiate plug and play access.
mpiBLAST 1.1.1
http://freshmeat.net/releases/127217/
mpiBLAST is an MPI based parallel implementation of NCBI BLAST. It consists of a pair of programs that replace formatdb and blastall with versions that execute BLAST jobs in parallel on a cluster of computers with MPI installed. There are two primary advantages to using mpiBLAST versus traditional BLAST. First, mpiBLAST splits the database across each node in the cluster. Because each node's segment of the database is smaller it can usually reside in the buffer-cache, yielding a significant speedup due to the elimination of disk I/O. Second, it allows BLAST users to take advantage of efficient, low-cost Beowulf clusters because interprocessor communication demands are low. mpiBLAST achieves super-linear speedup in situations where the database is too large to fit into RAM, and near linear speedup in other situations. It does not require a dedicated cluster.
