More on Sony: Dangerous Decloaking Patch, EULAs and Phoning Home
I decided to investigate so I downloaded a free network tracing tool, Ethereal, to a computer on which the player was installed and captured network traffic during the Player’s startup. A quick look through the trace log confirmed the users comment: the Player does send an ID to a Sony web site.

DebConf6 will take place from the 14 May to the 22th 2006 in Oaxtepec, Mexico. It is preceded by an unofficial work camp called "debcamp", from the 6th to the 12th of May. On the 13th May, Debian Day, an information day for users, the press and Important People will be held. This will be mostly in spanish, and partly translated.
Comment of the Day - November 7, 2005 - Expertise Not Recognized
Paul relates his experience with regard to different kinds of discrimination in the work place. The subject related to age discrimination.
Paul writes: "One guy might be able to log in and fix a problem (He's my hero) -- another guy might be the type that prevented this problem from ever rearing its ugly head in the first place -- how do you, as a middle manager, even see the latter value if it doesn't happen?"

CLI Magic: sudo voodoo
Sudo is a handy little tool that is of value to both system administrators and common folks like us. What does it do? It allows you to temporarily assume the permissions of another user, up to and including root. If you belong to the camp that says you should only have root privileges at the time they are needed, sudo makes your life a little easier by making it easier to shape-shift between the permissions for a mere mortal and those of the super user.

One-click installation with Klik
Simplifying software installation is a popular pastime for Linux developers. It has given us useful tools like Synaptic, YUM, checkinstall, and autopackage. A new kid on the block, Klik, approaches the problem differently, by avoiding the installation altogether.

Rant Mode Equals One: Score: Digital Privacy 0, Digital Piracy 1.
Without a doubt there's a ton of people swapping the latest No Doubt album via some illicit P2P program, but that's not the piracy I'm referring to here -- I'm talking about your Aunt who had her computer compromised because she clicked the wrong email, subscribed to the wrong broadband service, or simply left her computer on during the night. Oh, let's not forget: Maybe she slid the wrong CD in to listen to some music she bought, as well.

OSBC proves open source and business go together
I attended the first "east coast" Open Source Business Conference (OSBC) in Newton, Mass. last week, along with about 400 other people. Two similar conferences have been held in San Francisco. The first one there, in 2004, had about 400 attendees, but according to conference organizer Matt Asay the 2005 one had nearly 800, and he hopes to see similar growth in the east coast version, not that this event felt empty or strayed from its theme. Almost all of the people I met at OSBC were open source users, but they were also hardheaded businessmen and businesswomen. And lawyers. In fact, four law firms helped sponsor the event.
Brazil's bumpy road to the low-cost PC
The latest incarnation, a program called "Computer for Everyone," unveiled in March by President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, aimed to sidestep some of the problems of past programs, but so far it's garnered little support from manufacturers or consumers.
"When it comes to (bringing) computers to the poor, Brazil makes a soap opera of it," said Rogerio Goncalves, a telecommunications specialist and Webmaster in Rio de Janeiro. "Every single project of digital inclusion, from the very first one until now, has never left the desk."

Totally Open
In the wake of rising cost and cheaper alternatives that arguably perform better than their proprietary counterparts, open source is an option that many organisations have been drawn to exploring. For this reason, many filled the seats of the Total Linux Breakfast Seminar, to learn more about the options they can take, as well as to hear from the final speaker, on her company’s experience as an end-user of the platform.
Red Hat, Sun aim for security certification
In 2006, network administrators in high-security environments will have two new general-purpose operating systems to choose from. Both Sun Microsystems Solaris 10 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 are undergoing Level 4 Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance. With those certifications in hand, vendors are planning to offer desktop OSes that operate across many security levels, eliminating the need to put multiple computers—one for each security level—on analysts’ desks.
