Wikipedia admins go on rampage

Submitted by joeszilagyi
joeszilagyi writes "After their passwords got cracked: At least four different Wikipedia administrators have had their weak passwords taken in the past 24 hours. They deleted the home page repeatedly, and one person even put Tubgirl on the "Site notice", which is a global header for all of en.wikipedia.org. How did it happen? Weak logon security measures — there is no CAPTCHA; crappy passwords, and on top of that, while there is an encrypted SSL logon page, it's hard to find. The scariest thing is that people with passwords of "password" are entrusted as sysops and administrators on one of the Top 10 websites on Earth. They even blocked Jimbo Wales repeatedly from his own website!"

Open Source WebEx functionality

Submitted by KD7JZ
KD7JZ writes "Where can I find WebEx functionality in Open Source? I know about VNC for remote desktop access. What I want is the ability to have a remote user share a session with me where I can take control of their machine, and do things. Ideally as a downloadable java app, so it is easy to set up on an ad-hoc basis."

In a gathering of two or more people, when a lighted cigarette is placed in an ashtray, the smoke will waft into the face of the non-smoker.
