Monday October 13, 2008 links for 2008-10-13
Manually aggregating links for the last week:
- Anatomy of an attack: The New York Times on Solaris
Paul Murphy does an excellent job analysing the smear piece that the Linux Foundation presumably placed and shows how well it was put together by Krill. Well worth reading regardless of your views, just to see a pro at work. - TSA Wants to Screen Passengers of Private Jets
After getting over "you mean they don't already" amazement, this seems overwhelmingly sensible. Not because the checks are any use (see Bruce Schneier's blog if you're not already aware) but because I doubt we'll see effective political pressure to get it sorted until the people who pay for the politics feel the pain as well. - Linux.conf.au 2009 Hobart Conference Announces Keynote Speakers
I've never been to Tasmania, so I'm looking forward to this one even without the energetic audience I know I'll have. - Doonesbury: Why McCain wants to stay in Iraq
This has to be one of the most disturbing explanations I have seen, becuase I can imagine how it resonates with a certain group of people.

I'm new to PHP and recently setup my local machine with PHP and MySQL for doing development. I was sort of stuck when I needed to post my work for the user to test and review. After looking around a bit I found a site that hosts PHP and MySQL apps. I was surprised that it was free - it seems they're offering the service at no cost until 2012. At that point they'll change over to a fee-based service. However, in the meantime, it's a great place to do anything from demo and sandbox right up to posting sites for real.
Their pitch is as follows:
"This is absolutely free, there is no catch. You get 350 MB of disk space and 100 GB bandwidth. They also have cPanel control panel which is amazing and easy to use website builder. Moreover, there is no any kind of advertising on your pages."
Check it out using this link:

Important: There's one catch in that you must make sure you visit the account every 14 days - otherwise the account is marked 'Inactive' and the files are deleted!!!
Thanks and good luck!

Yeah, if McCain learned anything from 'Nam it was that you need to keep pushing more and more resources at a war until you "win". Unfortunately he never realized that everyone loses in a war - it just breeds hate, tribalism and retribution - and especially in a war without foundation. Let's hope the Americans choose a different path. God bless America (Christian God, Islam God, Hindu Gods, Jewish God, Buddha, et al), and lets hope the new president blows the dust off the US Constitution and reads it.
