Solaris author Stanislaw Lem dies at 84 Lem, whose books have sold more than 27 million copies and have been translated into more than 40 languages, won widespread acclaim for The Cyberiad, stories from a mechanical world ruled by robots, first published in English in 1974.

I am so glad I didn't talk myself into missing this camp staff reunion. Just like working at camp, going to this reunion was one of the best things I have ever done. An entirely positive and life changing experience. It was difficult leaving there in 1982; it was difficult to leave today. posted 21:00 [/personal] permanent link CORRECTED shownotes for podcast 6 xplanet & weather scripts ymv. I run the cloudmap script via a cron job every 3 hours. The "default" file goes in your home directory; all the rest are made executable and placed in ~/bin

#!/bin/sh ssh -p 22 `basename $0` $*
Change the default port from 22 to something unused and obsure (this is highly suggested) Make the script executable and name it something like ssh_to_host Next make sym-links to all your favorite servers: ln s ssh_to_host name_of_favorite server Of course be sure to change name_of_favorite server to the name of your favorite server :-)

This is a song written for a video created for a song. All the images come from Flickr, an online database of photos uploaded by anyone - the ones I used have a Creative Commons license which allows anyone to re-use them in a new non-commercial work as long as they are credited, and as long as the new work is released under the same license. flickr video by Jonathan Coulton posted 06:10 [/entertainment/music] permanent link Sun, 12 Mar 2006 Free streaming radio stations, tailored made to your exact musical taste This site will help you find music that you will like. Tell pandora what artist, or what song you like, and it will create a streaming station for you that plays music that is like what you suggested. Do you like Coheed and Cambria? Create a Cohed and Cambria stattion, and you can hear music 24/7 that is simular to the music Coheed and Cambria plays. Try TMBG, or any artist, and song. Has to be experienced to be appreciated! Streams are further tailorable (is that a word?) by giving the current song being played a thumbs up or a thumbs down. Do yourself a big favor and go there now! Thank me later :-) posted 20:41 [/entertainment/music] permanent link Now that was fast! Ubuntu Security Notice USN-262-1 March 12, 2006 Ubuntu 5.10 installer vulnerability https://launchpad.net/bugs/34606 =========================================================== A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases: Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger) The following packages are affected: base-config passwd The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 2.67ubuntu20 (base-config) and 1:4.0.3-37ubuntu8 (passwd). In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes. Details follow: Karl Øie discovered that the Ubuntu 5.10 installer failed to clean passwords in the installer log files. Since these files were world-readable, any local user could see the password of the first user account, which has full sudo privileges by default. The updated packages remove the passwords and additionally make the log files readable only by root. This does not affect the Ubuntu 4.10, 5.04, or the upcoming 6.04 installer. However, if you upgraded from Ubuntu 5.10 to the current development version of Ubuntu 6.04 ('Dapper Drake'), please ensure that you upgrade the passwd package to version 1:4.0.13-7ubuntu2 to fix the installer log files. update your systems
posted 20:03 [/computers/linux/distros/ubuntu] permanent link Not good! Bug #34606 in Ubuntu: "Administrator root password readable in cleartext on Breezy" The root password from the first user registred by Breezy can be found by any user by reading the file /var/log/installer/cdebconf/questions.dat a quick grep -r rootpassword /var shows that the rootpassword is recorded in cleartext by the installer /var/log/installer/cdebconf/questions.dat:Value: mypasswd /var/log/installer/cdebconf/questions.dat:Value: mypasswd /var/log/debian-installer/cdebconf/questions.dat:Value: mypasswd /var/log/debian-installer/cdebconf/questions.dat:Value: mypasswd let's hope this is fixed soon!
