If your electricity is coming from a coal based power plant than more mercury is released using incandascent bulbs versus CFLs.
6.4 grams versus 10 grams for the power in incandascent.
Nothing against Amanda, but I switched from using Amanda to going to BackupPC. http://backuppc.sf.net/
What I really like about BackupPC is the Disk based backup focus of it. It does NOT support tape drives. But for doing backups to hard drives it is great. And with the way it will only keep one copy of a file, no matter how many systems it is on really helps to minimize disk space usage. Example: You have/bin/ls on five of your linux boxes that all run the same distribution. It will only store one copy of/bin/ls on the backup server and use hardlinks to keep track of all the other copies. Plus it compresses the files.
My wife and I have been playing the Nancy Drew games. They are actually kind of interesting. They have a lot of puzzles to solve and then my wife likes the mystery aspect of it. The games are designed for women. Since I couldn't find any games that I play that she likes I figured I would try to find a game she likes and play it.
I would recommend getting the latest Nancy Drew games as the quality has improved. They are up to their 13th game so far.
Sourceforge offers release trackers which the phpBB team openly point people to if they want mail updates:
http://sourceforge.net/project/filemodule_monitor. php?filemodule_id=28882
Show me where this is mentioned at: http://www.phpbb.com/support/
It requires people to get an account with SourceForge. Not necessarily a terrible thing but what is the problem with creating a real security mailing list.
Plus it is not something that you can find mentioned prominently on their site. You have to search through the forums to find mention of it.
Or of course, there is the RSS feed :
http://www.phpbb.com/rss.php
This is pull. Best method is a push method for getting information out to people.
And, after 'popular demand' they are currently working on a special security mailing list that people can subscribe to.
I am very glad to hear that! If this happens I think it will be a very good step.
It is hard to tell from the forums that they were going to do this since they have closed all the threads related to a mailing list. They did not say that they were creating one from my reading of the threads. But I could have missed it somewhere:)
There is indeed a way to get updates. On source forge, you can subscribe to get updates when new packages are released.
True. But that is NOT the same thing as having a security mailing list. Plus it is not something that you can find mentioned prominently on their site. You have to search through the forums to find mention of it.
A less than optimal solution to me. Let's be honest, how hard is it to setup a copy of Mailman and create a mailing list? Not very hard.
I admire the phpBB2 software but to me this is a failing of their project. And the way they lock all the threads about it on their forums does not make me think highly of them.
One problem with http://www.phpbb.com/ is that they expect all the users of their software to come to their website on a regular basis and check for security updates.
They do NOT have any mailing lists for people to subscribe to, so that they can be informed when a new version of phpBB2 has been released.
Every thread on the subject, that I found on their site, had been locked. It appears that the moderators do not like their users complaining about a lack of a security announcement mailing list.

Great stuff!

We also got the Agatha Christie computer game but have not yet played it.
