Security Revealed
Last week, Glenn Beck introduced his listeners to a previously overlooked menace: nazi, communist Christians. You know, the ones who’ve forsaken all the worthwhile parts of religion, like sexual shaming, violence and prejudice, and embraced its most pernicious aspect: helping the needy.
“I beg you, look for the words ’social justice’ or ‘economic justice’ on your [...]
My man Bernie Sanders, the “Socialist” from Vermont, has committed himself to doing what no other senator on the Hill will do.
Sanders confirmed today that he will introduce a public option amendment during the health care bill reconciliation debate.
Greg Sargent at the Plum Line blog, who spoke directly to the senator, explains why this could [...]
One of our most prolific commenters, [mrgoogfan], shared with us his working BattleBots style robot. Built for under $500, it is capable of zipping around at 25 miles an hour under load. Chances are, this robot would be just as much fun as a Bar Stool Racer as it is with all the weapons attached. [...]

There’s something viscerally pleasing about simple solutions. [Kip] came up with one in the form of a scratch controller.

A picture is worth a thousand words, right? So here’s one for you.
This graphic was recently published by the Consumerist, with the few words, “This is why you’re fat.”
The New York Times had a little bit more to say about the graphic, which by the way was put together by Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. [...]

Of all the issues for Republicans to seize on, ethics in Congress may be the most tone-deaf of them all.
In the wake of a handful of Democratic scandals, Republicans are piling on, hoping to associate Democrats with the same stink that brought down the Republican majority: corruption. [...]

Kaspersky Lab co-founder argues for multinational body to tackle cyber crime
World governments need to create an international governance and policing
organisation to combat the growing problem of cyber crime, according to Eugene
Kaspersky, chief executive at security vendor Kaspersky Lab.
Kaspersky told V3.co.uk today that governments now understand that
there is a problem, but need to step up a gear in terms of international
co-operation.
“In the past IT security experts explained that there is something really
wrong and we have to change it. Now we are at the first stage: governments
understand that we are in danger of a very bad scenario,” he said.
“But the bad news is that they still behave in a very regional way, not
understanding that the internet doesn’t have borders.
“To fight internet crime and terrorism we have to build an international
organisation, an internet government, an internet Interpol, which can observe
the situation and behave as an independent multinational organisation.”
Kaspersky added that the reticence of some companies to come clean following
a hacking attack only serves to frustrate the efforts of law enforcers, and
helps to “create comfortable conditions for cyber criminals”.
However, he argued that Google’s decision to publicise the hacking attempts
on its networks originating in China was “strange”.
“I don’t have any data about these attack details, but these types of attack
happen hundreds of thousands of times a day around the globe,” he said.
“Victim companies usually don’t report them, but in this case Google
announced it. I don’t know why. It smells strange.”
Betaworks, the New York City-based holding company investing in the realtime Web, just raised a $20 million Series B. The round was led by RRE Ventures and Intel Capital, DFJ Growth, AOL Ventures, The New York Times, Softbank Japan and Softbank NY, Lerer Investments and Founders Collective, also participated, along with investors from the last round, which was $7.5 million
The company both invests and incubates realtime media startups, including Summize (acquired by Twitter for realtime search), bit.ly, TweetDeck, StockTwits, SuperFeedr, Outside.in, OMGPOP, and gdgt.

Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier, MySQL And SquirrelMail (Mandriva 2010.0 x86_64)
This document describes how to install a Postfix mail server that is
based on virtual users and domains, i.e. users and domains that are in
a MySQL database. I’ll also demonstrate the installation and
configuration of Courier (Courier-POP3, Courier-IMAP), so that Courier
can authenticate against the same MySQL database Postfix uses. The resulting Postfix server is capable of SMTP-AUTH and TLS and quota. Passwords are stored in encrypted
form in the database. In addition to that, this
tutorial covers the installation of Amavisd, SpamAssassin and ClamAV so that emails will be scanned for spam and viruses. I will also show how to install SquirrelMail as a webmail interface so that users can read and send emails and change their passwords.
In a segment on last night’s edition of MSNBC’s “Countdown,” comedian Bill Maher, host of the HBO show, “Real Time,” went to great lengths to explain how he’s not gay, but former Congressman Eric Massa, D-N.Y., probably is. Maher’s comments were made in response to guest host Lawrence O’Donnell’s sarcastic opening question to Maher: “Are [...]
This device can jailbreak an iPhone. It doesn’t require a computer and it can either reboot a phone that was one-time-boot jailbroken using the blackra1n exploit, or jailbreak a factory fresh unit. We wouldn’t say this solves the tethering problem caused by blackra1n (needing to return to a computer to reboot the phone), but it [...]
For a few years I have been trying to create a "distributed cluster storage
system" (see below) on standard Linux hardware.
I have been unsuccessful. I have looked into buying one and they do exist,
but are so expensive I can’t afford one.
They also are designed for much larger enterprises and have tons of features I don’t want or need.
I am hoping the Linux community can help me create this low cost
"distributed cluster storage system" which I think other small businesses could use.
Please help me solve this so we can publish the solution to the open source
community. more>>
