    Doesn't seem to actually be the virus. I ran
    strings(1) on that file, and this shows up:

    c't-Warnung

    Das hätte ebensogut ein Virus sein können.


    My German's a bit rusty, but I believe that means something to the effect of 'That might as well have been a virus'.

    > Last I checked, OpenBSD was using pdksh

    Yeah, it appears so. Ash is /bin/sh in 4.4BSD-Lite, FreeBSD and NetBSD.

    OpenBSD removed Ash around four years ago, according to their CVS.

  5. Re:Easy. on A Real Bourne Shell for Linux? · · Score: 2, Informative

    4.4BSD-Lite (and derivatives) /bin/sh is Ash.

    Also, recent FreeBSD 4.x releases have replaced 4.4BSD csh with tcsh (original csh being available as a port).

    I don't see the problem at all. Here are screenshots of what happens when I right-click a file without any kind of shift-holding-down or other party tricks.
    This is NT 5.0, I'd assume it works the same in NT 5.1:

    Picture 1
    Picture 2
    Picture 3

    Dead simple. And it really, really works. I can only assume this shift-right clicking business is something happening in Windows 9x, which is, by all means, obsolete.

    Erhm.. how often exactly is actual Perl or Python code sent to your browser; rather than being processed server-side then feeding HTML/stuff to your browser?

    Sounds a lot like TeleText, which has been around since the 80's in Europe. It uses an unused portion of the TV-image to transmit programming schedules, weather, news, sports, miscellany info and even software. IIRC it's not available outside Europe, though.

    Quoth the article:

    According to Register sources, there's a sorry tale behind all of this. About a year ago the Blair government was determined to embark on a love affair with Bill and his merry men, and it began to be made clear to the techies (many of them Linux lovers) on government staff that further mention of the L-word would likely be career-threatening. Many of the sites produced prior to the great Government Gateway project were indeed Linux-based, but this would cease.
