Paper Capable Of Playing Videos Developed
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/09/25/009208
Makarand writes "Nature has posted an article describing [0]paper
capable of displaying video using rearrangeable electronic ink, being
produced by [1]Philips Research Labs (in the Netherlands). The
paper-display draws power from a lightweight battery, and displays data
stored in a portable chip. The display consists of pixels containing a
drop of colored ink that can spread over a reflective white background
under electrical control to create colors. With fast switching times
and lower switching voltages, these paper-displays are capable of
displaying video images."

Spam And Alston - From Luddite To Pin-Up? http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/09/24/148225
[0]templeton069 writes "Alston (the Australian Communications Minister)
has been lambasted as the 'world's greatest Luddite' for a long time
but the [1]spam bill introduced to [2]the Australian Parliament last
week seems to have struck an [3]almost magical balance with everyone
from the Internet Industry Association, the Coalition Against Bulk
Unsolicited Email and the Direct Marketing Association, suggesting that
it is about as good as it gets. So what's the story -- can you go from
Luddite to pin-up in one step? And more importantly, does the
legislation provide a template for other jurisdictions to implement
low-pain anti-spam legislation?"

[0]Chris Soghoian writes "The State of Maryland requested an audit of
the Diebold electronic voting system by SAIC, after a report released
by Johns Hopkins University and Rice Researchers (disclaimer: I'm one
of Dr Rubin's students) [1]noted several security issues. A condensed,
from 200 to 40 pages, and censored version of the report has [2]been
released online (PDF link). The report notes that 'SAIC has identified
several high-risk vulnerabilities that, if exploited, could have
significant impact upon the AccuVote-TS voting system operation.'"
However, Diebold says Maryland are [3]moving forward with installation
with "new security features" included, and elsewhere, Badgerman points
out "Diebold [4] has shut down blackboxvoting.org, apparently with
copyright claims made to their ISP. But you can still go to the
[5]blackboxvoting.com site."

Recommendations for RPN Calculators?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/09/24/217234
[0]sg3000 asks: "My trusty old [1]HP 48S graphing calculator, that served me since engineering school, seems to be giving up the ghost. I haven't used it in a few years, but recently I put new batteries in it. It works, but it makes a loud static/white noise sound when it's on. The noise is not as noticeable when I hold it, but when I set it down on a hard surface, it's really loud. Then it sucks the batteries down incredibly fast (I put new batteries in it, and two days later, they were drained). Any suggestions on what I should buy as a replacement?" Links

DKMS 0.37.04
http://freshmeat.net/releases/136859/
DKMS (Dynamic Kernel Module Support) is a framework where device driver source can reside outside the kernel source tree so that it is very easy to rebuild modules as you upgrade kernels. This allows Linux vendors to provide driver drops without having to wait for new kernel releases (as a stopgap before the code can make it back into the kernel), while also taking out the guesswork for customers attempting to recompile modules for new kernels. For veteran Linux users it also provides some advantages since a separate framework for driver drops will remove kernel releases as a blocking mechanism for distributing code.
