anime block will start on [1]TechTV's new "Anime Unleashed" program. As billed by TechTV, "Anime Unleashed focuses on the science-fiction elements of anime--titles that imagine what our near or far future will be like, investigate the relationship between humans and machines, dream of what alien civilizations could be like, and more." The block will premiere with single half-hour episodes airing Monday through Thursday at 1am EST, followed by a two-hour block of anime on Friday from 11pm to 2am EST. Some of the series slated to be shown include Crest of the Stars, Serial Experiment Lain, Dual! Parallel Trouble Adventure, Betterman, and Silent Mobius. Additionally, a contest is being held until the first of January 2003 by TechTV to [2]create a new logo for the program."

Christmas in 2050
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/12/26/027248

[0]Makarand writes "A robotic kitchen assistant will help you with the
Christmas meal preparations while you recieve instructions and monitoring assistance in real time from information systems for the cooking. Thanks to progress in biology and nanotechnology, the molecular processes needed to convert raw materials into turkey will be understood sufficiently well to make a good artificial turkey for the vegetarians. This is what we can expect this time in 2050 says Ian Pearson, BT's futurologist who is paid to dream, [1]in this BBC News article. Absent family will join the celebrations virtually. There might be technology allowing us to read each others minds and being able to know what others are thinking may not always add peace and harmony to the celebrations. However on the upside, it will make charades a whole lot easier you will never get unwanted Christmas presents. Lastly, just as this Christmas was hijacked by a consumption fever, so too in 2050, Christmas will be all about presents." Links

Cable TV A La Carte Part 2

Ravi Swamy writes "Here's a followup [0]article in Business Week to the Cable TV A La Carte story from last month. For those who actually read the story it was only A La Carte if you wanted to add HBO. Apparently cable companies don't know about the law or are going to reclassify HBO as a 'tier' instead of as a channel to get around the law." Links

MS .net vs Mono, Open Source
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/12/25/213255

[0]vinsci writes "Sometimes, reader comments to reporter-written
stories are just as good as the stories themselves. Such as David Mohring's [1]comment yesterday on ZDNet.com's story [2]Mono & .Net: The odd couple. Since Microsoft are now [3]using their licensing terms to stop GPL and LGPL free software, it would be a welcome sign of free software maturity at Microsoft if they actually resolved the Mono issue. The gist of his comment: '[4]Microsoft's CEOs have made it 'patently' clear that they intend to restrict competing .Net implementations by cultivating Microsoft's patents, [...] Mono also implements parts of .NET that have NOT been submitted to ECMA and ISO standards. Those parts of Mono lack even the protection for IP infringement with re-implementation that ISO documentation licensing implies. [...] There [are] those that claim that .NET is open to re-implementation, but until Microsoft make a simliar public legal declaration to Sun's JSPA, any .NET re-implementation represents a pending legal mindfield.' While on the subject of C# development, users of the GPL'd C# development environment [5]SharpDevelop may also want to try [6]Eclipse together with the Open Source [7]Improve CSharp plugin for Eclipse. Eclipse also support C/C++ these days using GCC and GDB, thanks to the [8]CDT. There are [9]about two hundred add-on plugins available for Eclipse. Eclipse itself is available for many platforms, including Linux with native GTK 2 support." Links

How Are You Spending Your Christmas Vacation? http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/12/25/209234

[0]Embedded Geek asks: "Instead of just spending Christmas break (or
slowdown if you don't actually get time off) fixing up your house/car/server, are there any neat activities or events in your neck of the woods that you've been putting off? A museum exhibit? A cool new restaurant? An attraction in your hometown you usually only see with out of town relatives? Share your ideas with your fellow Slashdot readers!

use minor temperature variations to generate electricity - have been around for a few years. Now here is something a lot more radical - a thermally powered mechanical watch. Invented by an American - Steven Phillips - it uses small temperature variations to wind the mainspring of the watch. A patent has been awarded for this - check out [1]this link. A small article on the technology can be found [2]here and the guy's own website is [3]budapestwatchco.com.

The Bochs Project Releases v2.0
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=237871

Do you need more help?

It's been a busy 6 months since our previous release! Bochs is now running about twice as fast as version 1.4.1. Also, we can now emulate MMX, SSE/SSE2, and even AMD x86-64 instructions if you turn on the appropriate configure options. We also added two new graphical interfaces, SVGALIB and wxWindows. The wxWindows interface lets you edit all bochsrc options in a graphical form. Macintosh users will be happy to find binaries for MacOSX and MacOS9. Also we now support plugins for several platforms and cleaned up and improved the documentation. Download a copy and give it a spin! http://bochs.sourceforge.net What's changed since version 1.4.1? http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/bochs/bochs/CHANGES?rev= HEAD&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

UML2EJB 1.3.1 reads XMI 1.2 and UML 1.4
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=237649

UML2EJB is a code generator that builds XDoclet-tagged EJBs from UML models. The models come from CASE tools like Poseidon, Rational Rose and Together ControlCenter. UML2EJB reads XMI format files containing the metadata. The new release features compatibility to XMI 1.2 and UML 1.4, both of which makes it ready to read files created by the very latest Poseidon release (1.5). Now, users are able to leverage all the new features of Poseidon and the fascinating performance increase over 1.4.1. I wish you many successfully built components! Matthias P.S.: You will find the generator at http://uml2ejb.sf.net as well as at http://sf.net/projects/uml2ejb !
