All the mass media channels are going to be stuck with the same problem, either analyses the data a publish the juiciest bits, or get right royally screwed over by the blogs as they analyse the data and publish the juiciest bits all the while crowing about how mass media kowtowed to a bunch of corrupt politicians and tried to keep their criminal behaviour secret.

Then there are news site like http://english.aljazeera.net/ and http://rt.com/ both working hard to gain a global news audience, who will be doing triple time to bust the biggest stories hidden in that data. On the internet there is real hard news competition and a big part of that is multi-lingual global news service and trying to gain an audience of hundreds of millions, the hard hitting no hold barred reporting will be the only way to do it.

Well, as for J-11, there are some people that would disagree with that point

NILF. The Oz accent is puzzling, that and the curious garb, but the news honeys do the job. As per Monty Python: "Princes had become rare, indeed, as rare as an Australian virgin." But where's the 2 minutes hate? Even a piece on the 1983 incident that brought us all to the brink of WWIII is presented in a calm and reasonable tone, with nary a bit of invective. I was hoping for something along the lines of What fits into Russia.

My guess is that it's RT.

So it would seem that the ICQ purchase is a Russian security issue, I suppose it is because of the location of the servers in Israel. So is US security really complaining or are they the puppets of Israeli security yet again, as you can bet the servers for ICQ will not remain where Israeli security can control them, once a Russian company owns them.

The US President and Russian President chumming it up at a burger joint http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDzHvAcysWQ (I wonder if nutburger Palin is still paranoid about the Russian President leering into her yard), would mean the cold war is well and truly over and Israel's significance in the region (due to Russian support of Arabic nations) is dwindling.

From a Russian perspective it makes normal commercial sense for them to expand into global internet market as can readily be witnessed by the growth of Russian today http://www.rt.com/, pretty much middle of the road english news site in terms of reliability, well ahead of Fox News.

Synopsis: If the oil leak is in a desert where nothing of value is living anyway and it has been going on for several years and it shows no sign of stopping and you've tried just about everything else, then a nuclear blast could work. However, in the gulf of mexico it makes no sense because we haven't tried all that many things and the leak hasn't been gong on for several years and there's lots of things around of value, including people and marine wildlife.

It's KDE 3.5, actually.

It's not intended to copy Windows, it just looks like Windows the same way Gnome and KDE both resemble Windows. http://rt.com/Top_News/2010-03-01/north-korea-cyber-weapon.html?fullstory

The (official) U.S. seems intent on denying wider / closer access to space. Or air-travel, for that matter.

There are laws forbidding ciizens from going there on their own. Also, contrary to UN International Space Legislation (or Declarations, Accords, or whatever), there is some kind of directive (or law - too lazy to dredge up details) saying something to the effect that their permission is necessary for anything (person / org / country) going there. Stating, in effect, that space is 'their dominion' and anyone out there without their permission is a trespasser. And they'll apply the same one-and-only solution they ever consider for anything. They'll intimidate. Overpower. And kill. And kill. And kill again, just to be sure.

Meanwhile, Russia has cheaper and more robust spacecraft (comfort is damned, but hey..). China has its Taikonaut - with more to come. Israel, Japan, India have launched satellites with their own rockets and coordinated and controlled their own space missions. Many more countries have space agencies, and/or have made their own satelites.

China has said - at the highest levels - that it's going to mars. And Russia seems a bit more than just slightly interested in some 'extra projects'. On their spare time, I suppose.

None of them seem to really want space to be open and easily accessible. Generalized paranoid power at its usual setting : dementedly envious, violently malignant, ignorant, introverted, seeped in nihilistic denial and spite, spreading corruption through fear, scarcity, greed, deceitful inane sophistry - and more.

Always, with great public support from the - usually heavily leashed - 'movers and shakers'. And that minor or greater half which will wave flags and support anything, as long as whatever they fear is shaken in their faces, and then promised to be kept way from them - if they accept everything with vigorous and prompt subservience.

The usual nazi Germany process. Charmingly nicknamed : 'Snakes-Egg'. Well. It's spread around a lot. Changed its name a few times. Got laid in spots previously considered intrinsically, or constitutionally impossible.

My regards to the better half, that still attempts sanity. Meanwhile, unless sanity rallies the wide-eyed fearfull masses, frothing in panic - using small words and small, simple, easy emotional concepts - we'll have keep pushing and watch for fraying edges (around the paddy-wagons).

well.. censorship is better than western free speech. Would you call it "free speech" if you get jail for your views? http://rt.com/Top_News/2009-10-15/indian-student-jail-bush.html?fullstory

Real men don't use a GUI, you n00b.

You, my friend, have never heard of gpm

Oh these are nothing. I found a secret webpage that lists all kinds of dark vi secrets.. get them here!!

I used to be fond of kibitz, which did something similar.

I had a look at the site. What is it that is new and/or interesting in this? I went to the "golden eggs" page, which is supposed to list the most interesting commands. What I see there falls into one of 2 categories:

- a complicated way of executing a normal shell command (di ("Domain (WHOIS) Information using coolwhois.com") seems to do exactly the same as a modern whois, ipinfo-url looks like a a lame version of host, etc.),

or

- it does the same as adding a search engine to your Firefox search bar.

Have I missed something?

One very simple way to at least detect potential similarities is to use strings. In certain situations, you can figure that it should not be likely that two programs would have such identical strings output.

27% off Tiger? Is that from the front end or the back end? I ask because I need both ends.

Sometimes I need head, sometimes I need tail, and sometimes I want more. On the other hand, sometimes less is more, or is that the other way around?

Unix man pages: tr (1): tr - translate or delete characters

And [a-zA-Z] and [n-za-mN-Z-A-M] are just ways of writing down the alphabet and it's ROT13 eqiuvalent. The command tr replaces the first character in the first set with the first character in the second set and so on.

There's always cat(1).

mkinitrd creates a file which contains a very small ext2 file system. This little file system contains certain modules specific to your computer's configuration which are needed at boot time. During the boot process the kernel loads this little file system to a ram disk from which are then loaded the device drivers required to complete the boot process.

If the proper modules aren't present then your kernel will panic. That is what is causing your problem.

It works the same way for gpm

Bah, don't waste your time with that candy-coated Apple crap, or that bug-filled Microsoft junk. *This* is all you need to browse any web site with confidence. And it won't cost you a penny.

Wimps.

Linux (Debian GNU/Linux to be specific) has done virtual consoles for me on PowerPC Macintosh and 680x0 Macintosh -- the key sequence to switch is Open Apple + left or right arrow. (Does anyone remember the days when there was a Closed Apple key too?) I haven't tried this with X, though (my LC3's 68030 is just a little too slow to do graphics). On a side note (for text stuff at least), you could always use the excellent utility screen for an infinite number of virtual terminals.

One issue that I have noticed is that unless you are serving scripts, hostnames in the logs are becoming less relevant due to caching and proxies. However, if you do track host names then getting a 100%(ok 99%) accurate list is hard -- If you wait a few days, weeks or months to analyse your logs, then some of the IP may have changed owners. If you try to let the HTTP daemon do the lookup, then you suffer a drop in performance and the very first lookup or two often fails anyway.

If you use Apache (I have no experience with the others), then it is easy to pipe the log output directly to a script.

CustomLog "|/usr/local/apache/bin/rotatelogs /var/log/access_log 86400" common

LogFormat "%h\t%l\t%u\t%t\t%r\t%>s\t%b\t%{Referer}i\t%{Us er-Agent}i" tab
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/access_log combined CustomLog /var/log/httpd/funky_new_log tab

This means the data is (redundantly) read from disk by the kernel, copied to userspace for Apache to see, just so that Apache can copy it back to kernel space

When sending a file to the network, you can use sendfile(2) to avoid this scenario. It doesn't look like apache currently does this, but hopefully future versions will.
