Automate backups on Linux
No excuses: do-it-yourself, secure, distributed network backups made easy

The loss of critical data can prove devastating. Still, millions of professionals ignore backing up their data. While individual reasons vary, one of the most common explanations is that performing routine backups can be a real chore. Because machines excel at mundane and repetitive tasks, the key to reducing the inherent drudgery and the natural human tendency for procrastination, is to automate the backup process....Read More at IBM

Take Two and Call Me in the Morning or One Bob's Search for Reliable Internet Service in a Colonial City
From i, cringely: During my five years in the California Wine Country, I struggled to overcome the limitations of rural Internet service. Dial-up was a joke since I never saw more than 26.4 kilobits-per-second. DSL was at first a bad dream since I was 36,000 feet from the telephone company central office. Cable Internet service was possible, but only if I paid the $22,000 it would cost to install the cable (no thanks). Satellite came and went. A long distance WiFi connection served me well for a couple years. Then one day, for no apparent business reason, SBC dropped an optical cable at the end of my driveway, and suddenly, I had a six megabit-per-second DSL pipe. Alas, by then we were already planning our move to South Carolina, where I hoped living in an urban environment would make simple getting a good Internet connection. Nope. Finding good broadband service here in Charleston was just as hard or harder than it was back in Santa Rosa. But now I'm finally satisfied and want to explain what I had to do to make it work....Read More

Patched in 60 Seconds
Today it was announced that a vulnerability in the Mozilla and Firefox Web browsers allows the execution of arbitrary code in Windows NT, 2000, and XP systems. It doesn't affect GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris or anything else -- just Windows. I'd imagine that Microsoft's head honchos will be mentioning this exploit whenever they want to attack open source software security for years to come. Ironically OSS advocates might use the same story to attack Microsoft's security record. Why? Because a patch was released before the vulnerability was widely reported....Read More at NewsForge
