Digital Domesday Defies Doom
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/07/11/161229
[0]Hulver writes "The BBC Domesday project, originally completed in
1986 and under threat (as reported in [1]this old slashdot story) has
had its data recovered. The contents of the laserdiscs have been put on
DVD, and new programs written so that PCs can access the data.
Interestingly, most of the images and films were not recovered from the
laserdiscs, but were instead re-digitised from the original analog
films at a higher resolution than the laserdiscs contained. Full
details of the recovered data are at the [2]Public Record Office
website."

original, I would not advise that you watch this program. It'll hurt

Quakeworld Physics Captured in Quake3

Rooked_One writes "For people, that to this day, swear by the
quakeworld physics where you could "bunnyhop" through huge maps in a
matter of seconds, but were lured away by better graphics, your day has
come. [0]Fortress Evolution has been announced with a couple of groovy
little movies to drool over until they have a release. Many of you will
remember Quake Team Fortress, well, this mod for Quake3 is made by
players primarily of Mega Team Fortress, which i'm sure some of you
will remember in poor regards. But we won't get into that. What is
needed to know is that you will be able to play QW in the quake3

Record Labels Looking for a Cut of Tour Revenues http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/07/11/1911253
[0]Anonymous Coward writes "As many a Slashdotter has pointed out,
musicians make their money not from selling records but from going on
tour. Now [1]record labels are trying to get a piece of the action.
'Now the music labels, hungry for revenue from any source, are mulling
over whether to make a grab for a piece of the tour biz. One company
already has: In October EMI Recorded Music signed a deal with Brit
singer Robbie Williams that gives the label a cut of the pop star's
merchandise, publishing, touring revenue and sponsorship.'"

[0]XenonOfArcticus writes "I first came upon Matt Ridley when Slashdot
reviewed Genome: The Autobiography of a Species in 23 Parts ([1]here
and [2]here ). Ridley's finely-honed technical writing style could make
a treatise on the Boston White Pages intriguing and enlightening, and
his treatment of the human Genome was simply eye-opening. I had to have
more, and went out immediately to order every Ridley book I could find.
Luckily, The Red Queen and The Origins of Virtue were already available
and his latest, Nature via Nurture was just hitting shelves. Prepare
yourself for my ongoing Overview of Ridley in Three Parts." Read on for

Kernel Mode Linux 2.5.75_001 (For Linux 2.5) http://freshmeat.net/releases/128978/
Kernel Mode Linux is a technology which enables the execution of user programs in a kernel mode. In Kernel Mode Linux, user programs can access kernel address space directly. Unlike kernel modules, user programs are executed as ordinary processes (except for their privilege level), so scheduling and paging are performed as usual. Although it seems dangerous, the safety of the kernel can be ensured through such methods as static type checking, software fault isolation, and so forth.

http://freshmeat.net/releases/128982/
Kernel TCP Virtual Server is a Layer-7 switching software in the Linux Virtual Server framework. It can do application-level load balancing (such as content-based scheduling) inside the Linux kernel. The reason for implementing it inside the kernel is to avoid the overhead of context switching and memory copying between user-space and kernel-space. Although the its scalability is lower than that of IPVS (IP Virtual Server), it is flexible, because the content of the request is known before the request is redirected to the real server.
