Finns To Use Cell Phones To Monitor Traffic Jams http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/12/30/1243247

    Okko writes "The Finnish Road Administration announced it is going to     [0]use cellphone location data to find out about traffic jams. They say     they are using the location data available from the GSM base stations     to determine the locations and speeds of vehicles carrying mobile     phones. The information will be used to inform people about traffic     jams and peaks in traffic trough public FM radio stations. Until now,     the information about traffic has been gathered [1]using car sensors     embedded in the roads. The spokesperson of FRA, interviewed in the     evening news of [2]MTV3 Finland, seemed very pleased they can monitor     cell phones even when no calls are made, it is enough the phone has     power on. They said they are about to use the information anonymously     and thought people approve it as long as it is done in an anonymous and     "everyone-wins" way. It was told they do not currently tell the police     about the data they discover as the current law forbids this. So, it is     not, at least yet, possible to fine people carrying mobile phones in     their cars too fast on public roads (exceeding the speed limit of the     road). Unfortunately, probably because of vacations, [3]FRA has not     updated their website accordingly yet. There does exist an annoucement     about testing the technology from the summer. " Links

Re-examining the Port Chicago Disaster
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/12/29/2355225

    [0]GoneGaryT writes "Say chaps, this might be old hat, but there's a     fab site for conspiracy theory aficionados at [1]portchicago.org ; it's     a pdf book expounding the theory of Peter Vogel's that the Port Chicago     magazine explosion (1944) was a nuclear weapons test. It's actually     pretty thorough, like 20 years of research thorough. Would the US     really blow up their own people for the sake of global military     supremacy? Naaaah..." Chapter 9 of the book has a factual account of     the disaster (which I'd never heard of before); if you're not     interested in the rest of the theory, at least reading the historical     account is informative and will give you an appreciation of the     explosive power of several million pounds of military ordnance.

Automakers and Crash Data Recorders
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/12/29/1952247

    The New York Times has a decent story about [0]automakers not wanting     to standardize car data recorders. There are a couple of nuances which     the reporter mostly misses. The automakers want to avoid     standardization because they can then sell access to the proprietary     data format (NYT does cover this, but ignores the profit motive). The     story mentions privacy issues but dismisses them as solved, yet notes     that there are no privacy protections whatsoever for this data, and you     can expect it to be used against you in any incident (and perhaps other     times: wait until service under your warranty is refused because your     car reported your bad driving habits to the dealer). That's not     "solved" in my book (and I think the automakers realize that selling     cars which report on their owners might backfire). Speculation about     ambulance crews using crash data is just hype - no ambulance is     equipped to do that, nor would I want an EMT to spend time decoding the     crash data instead of, say, saving my life. The article repeatedly     suggests that crash data would be used to enhance safety, without ever     specifying how that is supposed to occur. Links

PHP Weather 2.1.0 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=238931

    PHP Weather makes it easy to show the current weather on your webpage.     All you need is a local airport, that makes some special weather     reports called METARs. The reports are updated once or twice an hour.     This release contains five new translations (for a total of 11     translations) and fixes some bugs, including a bug that prevented the     Configuration Builder from working when register_globals were turned     off.

Benchw release 0.5b
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=238626

    Benchw provides a toolset to benchmark the capabilities of several     different database engines for data warehouse type activities. It is     designed to provide a simple way to test data loading, index creation     plus query performance in the spirit of TPC-H. This release adds     default index generation and sapdb load capability - so now Oracle,     Mysql, Postgresql, DB2 and Sapdb are supported. The documentation has     been brought closer to completion. The generated form of the queries     has been finalized (it has changed from the alpha releases). A BSD     style license file has been included.

Gallery v1.3.3 bugfix release
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=238913

    Gallery is a slick, intuitive web based photo gallery (written in PHP)     with authenticated users and privileged albums. Easy to install,     configure and use. Photo management includes automatic thumbnails,     resizing, rotation, etc. User privileges make this great for     communities. This release includes a security fix and a number of small     bugfixes. This release is primarily aimed at fixing a variety of small     bugs that have existed in Gallery for a few releases, as well as a     couple of fairly serious bugs (including a very serious SECURITY bug     that can lead to a remote exploit) that were introduced in the version     1.3.2. If you are using the 1.3.2 release we STRONGLY RECOMMEND that     you upgrade to 1.3.3 as soon as possible to minimize the possibility of     a web server compromise. Bugs fixed: - Fix SECURITY HOLE introduced in     the Windows XP Publishing feature introduced in 1.3.2 (as of 1.3.2     build 27) See http://gallery.sourceforge.net/article.php?sid=64 for     specific details. - Hiding all elements in an album causes those     elements to get permanently detached from the album (making it     inconvenient to recover them). - Fixed minor bugs regarding supporting     Nuke 6's user database - Fixed minor bugs in the slideshow code.     Feature additions/changes: - The config wizard now allows you to select     an option to print via Shutterfly without making a (very small)     donation to the Gallery project. - Convenience function allows you to     access a sub-album's permission dialog without opening the album. For     more detailed information, you can read the Gallery changelog:     http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/gallery/gallery/ChangeLo     g?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup regards, The Gallery     Dev Team

libggi 2.0.2/libgii 0.8.2 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=238414

    The GGI project is pleased to announce that new versions of LibGGI and     LibGII have been released. LibGGI is a graphics API which focuses on     portability between operating systems and graphics back-ends. LibGII is     a stand-alone system for handling input devices which follows the same     general design principles as LibGGI. Through a run-time modular system,     a single application binary can be run on many different display     systems. In addition, LibGGI and it's interchangeable run-time binary     "targets" can be compiled on many architectures (like ia-32, ppc32,     sparc, sparc64, arm, s390, etc.) and operating systems (like Linux,     *BSD, Darwin, Solaris, etc.) and environments (like X11, fbdev,     svgalib, aalib, etc.) The LibGGI core itself is a basic API meant for     low level programming abstracting the simplest of primitives common to     most display systems. When properly written, LibGGI applications can be     made to work well in various bit-depths and to function on display     systems that differ quite drastically in their implementations (e.g.     backbuffered client/server systems like X11 versus direct hardware     systems like linux framebuffer.) LibGGI includes an extension system     which allows API sets to be added to the core LibGGI API. For example,     two popular extensions are LibGGIWMH, allowing manipulation of parent     window properties when a LibGGI program is running under a window based     display system, and LibGGIMISC which supplements the LibGGI API with a     few features like raytrace syncronization and VGA-style splitline which     are familair to demo coders. Our team is working on future extensions     which aim to bring the GGI philosphy of generic abstraction to graphics     systems features such as Z/Alpha buffers, overlays, and ROP/BITBLT,     allowing such features to be used by application developers without     falling into the trap of writing code that is inextricably entangled to     the display system used for development and testing. Like every Open     Source project, we are always glad to receive help and new team     members. This release represents a step forward not only in that     several enhancements have been made but also in our release process. We     now have a stable and developemnt tree system such that experimental     features will no longer butt heads with bugfix releases. We expect this     to improve our release interval for both development and stable     projects. More detailed news, project contact information, online     documentation, and much more is available at     http://www.ggi-project.org/

SOURCEFORGE.NET UPDATE - 2002-12-18 EDITION http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=238394

    0. Intro 1. SF.NET Support Update 2. DevChannel Launch 3. NNTP Beta     Continues 4. WebSphere on Compile Farm 5. Site Statistics --- Sponsored     by: Buy Holiday Geek Toys Now! Thinkgeek is the holiday shopping mecca     for geeks, technophiles, and anybody who enjoys computers, gadgets, and     just plain old fun stuff. Whether you're looking to shop for the new     geek in your life, or if you're looking to finally get the gifts you     actually WANT this year, Thinkgeek is your one-stop-shop.     http://www.thinkgeek.com/sf/ ---- Hello SourceForge.net user, Happy     Holidays! It's been quite a year. We just had our 3rd year anniversary     of SF.NET's existence and in the past 12 months we've added 225,000     registered users and 22,000 new Open Source projects (525,000 Users and     52,000 projects total). It's great to see that the community continues     to grow. We've moved. You may or may not have noticed, but we     physically moved last month. SourceForge.net has migrated to a new     Cable & Wireless facility in Santa Clara, California (formally Exodus).     Besides the shinny new racks, power and bandwidth, we have consolidated     all our OSDN sister sites under one roof (Slashdot.org, Freshmeat.net,     Linux.com, OSDN.com, Thinkgeek.com, etc). This move makes it easier for     our Sys Admins to get their hands around all 250+ servers (all of OSDN)     which use to be spread out over two coasts in the United States.     December 2002's SF.NET project of the month is phpMyAdmin. Please check     out the interview we did with them. Good stuff.     http://sourceforge.net/pom_1202.php Our IBM DB2 transition continues to     move forward. We will have SF.NET fully converted to the database in     early 2003. On a related note, today we are announcing 3 new IBM     WebSphere application servers on the SF.NET compile farm. This will     allow you to test out any J2EE applications you might have.     Instructions to access the compile farm are below in this email. On     behalf of the SF.NET team, I want to wish you and your family very     Happy Holidays. We are looking forward to working with you to make     SourceForge.net and the Open Source Community even more successful in     2003. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, feel free to     email me directly at pat@sf.net. Thank you. Pat- Patrick McGovern     Director, SourceForge.net email: pat@sf.net 1. SF.NET Support Update

  • The SourceForge.net team has recently completed a set of planning sessions for 2003 goals. We have incorporated much of the feedback received during the 2002 year in to these goals, and are quite excited about the upcoming enhancements to the SourceForge.net site and services. We welcome your continued feedback. The SourceForge.net team may be contacted by submitting a Support Request at: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=1&atid=200001 All SourceForge.net-hosted projects which make use of our VHOST services must update their DNS configuration to reflect our new IP address range. A mailing was sent to all project administrators on VHOST-using projects on 2002-12-05. Instructions for proper VHOST configuration may be seen at: https://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=777&group_id=1 A significant amount of effort has recently been directed to improvement of the SourceForge.net Site Documentation. Among the changes, we have completed a significant reorganization of the Site Docs (which are now separated by target audience and grouped by service). Second, significant formatting changes have been made to all existing document for cleaner appearance and more functional navigation (we have added a Table of Contents to most documents). Finally, plan has been established which will ensure documentation is written to cover all previously-identified gaps; in coming months, we will be working to complete the initial rewrite of older content and the generation of new documentation. The SourceForge.net Site Documentation collection may be seen at: https://sourceforge.net/docman/?group_id=1 In conjunction with our work to improve the Site Documentation of the SourceForge.net site, a command-line tool has been developed to automate DocManager (the documentation management feature of the SourceForge.net site) operations. This tool, adocman, is available from the 'sitedocs' project on SourceForge.net. At this time, a tool to automate retrieval of data via our XML data export facility (which requires authentication by a project administrator) is also included. These tools can be used by any project team to establish a comprehensive backup and recovery plan, as described at: https://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=6840&group_id=1 adocman (and the xml_export script included in the adocman release) may be found at: https://sourceforge.net/projects/sitedocs/ SourceForge.net now provides documentation regarding security and risk management as applied to the SourceForge.net site and services. We encourage all project administrators to review the documentation provided at: https://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=14267&group_id=1 Finally, as requested by many site users, the SourceForge.net team now provides a search facility for Site Documentation. Information about this search facility (and access to the Site Documentation search) is available at: https://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=14068&group_id=1 The SourceForge.net team is glad to respond to any issues you may encounter in using SourceForge.net, as a user, as a developer, or as a project administrator. To reach the SourceForge.net team, we ask that you submit a Support Request at: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=1&atid=200001 I welcome feedback regarding our support process and your experiences in using SourceForge.net. I may be reached via email at: moorman@sourceforge.net Jacob Moorman Quality of Service Manager, SourceForge.net 2. OSDN's Newsite DevChannel
  • OSDN is adding to its resources for developers with a new website, DevChannel
    (http://devchannel.org). DevChannel is the central news and reference
    resource for developers interested in core technology topics. With original feature articles and interviews, daily news updates, access to SourceForge projects, Freshmeat downloads, and Slashdot discussions, DevChannel opens a channel of communication to developers, organized by topics that matter. We've begun rolling out DevChannel gradually, with four channels featured at present: High Performance Computing
    (http://hpc.devchannel.org) Web Services
    (http://webservices.devchannel.org) Development Tools
    (http://tools.devchannel.org) Hardware (http://hardware.devchannel.org)
    While SourceForge.net remains the preeminent gathering place for developers on OSDN, you'll find some great content on DevChannel (like Steve DuChene's IPMI article), and some familiar faces (Brian Finley from the Clustering Foundry, and Eugene Kim from the Distributed Computing Foundry). So be sure to add DevChannel to your list of OSDN destinations; we look forward to seeing you there. If you have questions/comments please email Mark Stone at mstone@osdn.com 3. SF.NET NNTP Beta Test Continues ---------------------------------------- In October we launched an early beta release of a new feature on SourceForge.net. We are continuing this beta test, and here again are the details in case you missed it the first time: Our NNTP server makes it possible to view and post data to forums using a simple newsreader
    (exactly like using USENET newsgroups). Here's the information to login
    and try it out. The hostname of the NNTP server is 'nntp.sourceforge.net' and the port NNTP is listening on is 563.
    (nntps, SSL-protected NNTP) We allow only SSL connections. You need to
    use your SourceForge user name and password to login. The currently supported clients are Mozilla and Outlook, however we've followed the NNTP RFC; any client that does NNTP over SSL /should/ work. Please let us know if you have problems with a specific client. (Please see below) Posting works, with one caveat: to limit SPAM we limit the amount of posts to 10 in a 5 minute period, after which we deny posting for some time for that user account. NOTE: This is real data. Posts will show up in your forums! Please keep this in mind. Here is an example of the NNTP naming we've chosen, it is much like the project web tree. "sf.a.al.alexandria.open_discussion" will get you the "Open Discussion" forum for project "alexandria". Mailing lists are currently _not_ available but will be available in the near future. If you would like to report bugs, ideas, or anything else please subscribe to the beta mailing list at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mcgoo-nttpbeta Please keep in mind that the server is beta and will more than likely crash. Please don't send 1000 emails to list saying the server is offline; we'll fix it as soon as we get a chance. Please send any bug reports, odd behavior, or problems to this list. Thank you. Issue reports regarding this new beta feature should not be submitted as Support Requests; please direct all inquiries to the list. 4. IBM WebSphere on Compile Farm ---------------------------------------- The SourceForge.net Compile Farm now features four systems running IBM WebSphere Application Server Version 5. These systems let you freely deploy J2EE applications for testing and validation on the WebSphere platform. The SourceForge.net Compile Farm is available for use (on an opt-in basis) by developers on any active projects hosted on SourceForge.net. To access these systems, please see the Compile Farm Guide at: http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=762&group_id=1 5. Statistics ---------------------------------------- Where do SF.NET users come from? The SF.NET team recently ran log files through an application that can translate countries by IP numbers, oppose to domain name extensions. IP numbers provide more accurate statistics. Below are the results. SourceForge.net truly is an International site. Percent / Country 34.0450% United States 09.2114% Germany 04.5754% Canada 04.1249% United Kingdom 04.0632% Sweden 04.0632% Poland 03.4010% France 03.1006% Japan 02.3787% Netherlands 02.2872% Italy 01.9262% Belgium 01.9262% Australia 01.6557% Brazil 01.6259% Spain 01.5951% Russian Federation 01.4449% Norway 01.3842% Switzerland 01.2341% Denmark 01.2341% Austria 01.2341% Argentina 01.0233% India 00.8428% Korea, Republic of 00.7529% Mexico 00.7225% Hong Kong 00.6922% New Zealand 00.6922% Finland 00.6629% Taiwan, Province of China 00.6023% Portugal 00.5718% Singapore 00.5113% Israel On Thursday December 12th, 2002, SourceForge.net served: 4,424,135 Million Page views [SF.NET and Sub-domains] 467,693 Open Source Applications [downloaded] 1,245,123 Emails [SF Mailing Lists] 10,234 CVS checkouts 7,753 CVS Checkins Top 20 projects: 1 POPFile - Automatic Email Classification http://sourceforge.net/projects/popfile/ POPFile is an email classification system that has a Naive Bayes text classifier and a POP3 proxy.
