Benetton Clothing to Carry RFID Tags
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/03/12/0156247
An anonymous reader writes "Clothing manufacturer Benetton has
announced that they will begin [0]embedding RFID tags in clothing for
inventory control purposes. You can read more about this at [1]SF
Gate." morcheeba adds more information: "EETimes [2]is reporting that
Benetton will be embedding a Philips RFID chip into the label of every
new garment bearing the name of Benetton's core clothing brand,
[3]Sisley. The 15 million chips expected sold in 2003 will allow
monitoring of garments from production to shipping, shelves and
dressing rooms. The [4]I.CODE chip [5](tech info) used in Benetton's
labels will include 1,024 bits of EEPROM and operate at a distance of
up to 1.5 meters. RFIDs look like they would be extremely uncomfortable
in [6]some Sisley clothes."

Microsoft and the SPAM Game
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/03/11/223248
The [0]Seattle Times reported a while ago that Microsoft is pushing for
[1]Washington State Senate Bill 5734 which will overturn most of
[2]Washington State's laws that specify monetary penalties for
companies who send out spam. This will completely exempt ISPs from
current Washington spam laws, which Microsoft just happens to be. It
seems that they are [3]jumping the gun a bit. They are having a company
named [4]Digital Impact (save that address for you spam filters) send
the email for them. Thankfully I live in Seattle so maybe I can collect
an easy [5]$500 before Microsoft guts the current law.

wondering what paid jobs were actually still out there for CS majors in
the industry. Coming from a CS major who has a stack of 'We're sorry,

Microsoft Writes Off Corel
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/03/11/2013204
PizzaFace writes "Microsoft [0]resuscitated Corel two and a half years
ago, paying $135 million for a quarter of Corel's equity ownership.
Corel talked then about [1]bringing its products to .Net, and even
hinted that it might use its Linux expertise [2]to port .Net to Linux.
Since then, Corel gave up on [3]the Linux business and isn't talking
anymore about .Net, but is instead riding [4]its XML hobbyhorse. So
[5]Microsoft is selling its stake in Corel to a VC firm for $13
million, taking a 90% loss on the investment."

Nettle library 1.7
http://freshmeat.net/releases/115946/
Nettle is a cryptographic library that is designed to fit easily in more or less any context: in crypto toolkits for object-oriented languages (C++, Python, Pike, etc.), in applications like LSH or GNUPG, or even in kernel space. In most contexts, you need more than the basic cryptographic algorithms; you also need some way to keep track of available algorithms and their properties and variants. You often have some algorithm selection process, often dictated by a protocol you want to implement. And as the requirements of applications differ in subtle and not so subtle ways, an API that fits one application well can be a pain to use in a different context, which is why there are so many different cryptographic libraries around. Nettle tries to avoid this problem by doing one thing, the low-level crypto stuff, and providing a simple but general interface to it. In particular, Nettle doesn't do algorithm selection. It doesn't do memory allocation. It doesn't do any I/O. The idea is that one can build several application- and context-specific interfaces on top of Nettle and share the code, testcases, benchmarks, documentation, etc.

The program is completely menu-driven and there are no commands to learn.
Ogle DVD player 0.9.1
http://freshmeat.net/releases/115959/

ogmencoder 0.8
http://freshmeat.net/releases/115949/
ogmencoder is a Perl script that uses MPlayer/Mencoder and Transcode to create an OGM (audio Vorbis) backup of your DVD, ready to be burned to a CD-R. OGG (but the usual extension for the video files is OGM) is the file format for multimedia developed by the Xiph.org Foundation. It is very similar to the common Microsoft AVI. The main difference between OGM and AVI is that the new format can store audio with the Ogg Vorbis codec. With this codec, you can decrease the bitrate of your movies (I use 64 kbps), saving space to increase the video bitrate. Ogmencoder is completely automatic. Basically, the only thing you have to do is to insert the DVD in the reader and launch the program.

socket_wrappers 7.6k (Development)
http://freshmeat.net/releases/115922/
socket_wrappers is an improved version of tcp_wrappers. The improvements include changing from K&R to ANSI C, removing unneeded compatibility libraries, separation of the public and private API, prepending tcpd_ to all private functions and data to prevent name collisions, updates to signal handlers so that the application's handlers aren't tampered with, dropping supplemental groups, and some build and man page improvements. Applications compiled with this library should be smaller, too.
SSH ManaGeR 0.5.6
http://freshmeat.net/releases/115981/
SSH ManaGeR (sshmgr) is a Unix open ssh client wrapper script written in Perl. It is a handy commandline utility for people who have many remote user accounts that are accessed via ssh, sftp, scp, ftp, and telnet. sshmgr includes scmdmgr (which allows for remote command execution), sftpmgr (which behaves identically to sshmgr except instead of starting a shell, it's an sftp session), scpget/scpput (both are scp wrappers), ftpmgr (same as sftpmgr but for normal FTP), and telnetmgr (same as sshmgr but for telnet). All of these utilize a shared configuration file for user account profiles. Passwords are not stored in this plain text configuration file and the use of RSA keys for SSH connections is strongly suggested.

Toojays' Tagger 0.1
http://freshmeat.net/releases/115983/
Toojays' Tagger (ttag) is a commandline utility which, given an Ogg Vorbis file, calculates the TRM of that file and searches for that TRM in the MusicBrainz database.
