Actually you're not far off, currently in the beta, after a match you can choose to commend players within four categories: Friendly, Forgiving, Teaching and Leadership. This also shows up on your public profile. Furthermore you can report players within these categories: Intentional feeding, voice abuse, text abuse and intentional ability abuse. I imagine this is going to be the basis for their new pricing system.

Submission + - Linux 2.6.22 Kernel Released (kerneltrap.org)

Submitted by Anonymous Coward
An anonymous reader writes: Linux creator Linus Torvalds announced the official release of the 2.6.22 kernel, "it's out there now (or at least in the process of mirroring out — if you don't see everything, give it a bit of time)." The previous stable kernel, 2.6.21, was released a little over two months ago on April 25'th. New features in the 2.6.22 kernel include a SLUB allocator which replaced the slab allocator, a new wireless stack, a new firewire stack, and support for the Blackfin architecture. Source level changes can be tracked via the gitweb interface to Linus' kernel tree.

Migrating a Radio Station To Linux? 32

Posted by Cliff from the penguins-like-music-too dept.
allikat_uk asks: "I'm a DJ for a net radio station (amongst other hobbies). I want to migrate from an XP platform running (SAM Broadcaster) to a Linux based solution. I don't need to host the server, as the station does that, I just need a nice GUI solution to stream the MP3 files to the server. I need to run 2 streams, 64k stereo, and 22k mono in MP3 to a shoutcast clone server. My current software has a nice MySQL database to make quickly finding the tracks I want easy, dual playback 'decks' and easy voiceovers. Is there a Linux equivalent available under GPL?"
