Comment Best GUI is one that runs CLI in the background (Score 1) 720
${SUBJECT}. GUIs that do things in the background using the CLI are really the best that I have used. You get the benefits/eye candy of the GUI, but can script anything you need. Examples are Veritas volume manager and their cluster manager (hagui). They even get bonus points for logging the GUI's command line calls in a log file so you can see what was done. You do it once in the gui and then script the other dozen/hundred actions. (Or, help maintain a change log of the system for recover/rebuild purposes.) EMC's Legato used to do it as well. (Up to early 7.x, not sure how the newer 7.5/7.6 is doing things.)

Is there reason that you were subscribed to their announce mailing list? If so, you would have know about this issue months ago. Plenty of time to upgrade/test/deploy even in the most restrictive environments.

From http://www.clamav.net/lang/en/download/sources/ it states:
Please subscribe to our freshmeat project page or clamav-announce to receive notifications of new stable releases and RCs.
They sent out a couple of notices about what was going to happen.
I will give the poster a little leeway in that this notice is only on the source download page and not the parent download page or the other distribution download pages.
Emulating New Super Mario Bros. Wii At 1080p 76

Scientists Say a Dirty Child Is a Healthy Child 331
Researchers from the School of Medicine at the University of California have shown that the more germs a child is exposed to, the better their immune system in later life. Their study found that keeping a child's skin too clean impaired the skin's ability to heal itself. From the article: "'These germs are actually good for us,' said Professor Richard Gallo, who led the research. Common bacterial species, known as staphylococci, which can cause inflammation when under the skin, are 'good bacteria' when on the surface, where they can reduce inflammation."
Daily Sex Helps Improve Fertility 174
mmmscience writes "While fertility studies lately seem to have been exclusively focused on in vitro fertilization [IVF], new data coming out of Australia may help with unaided successful conceptions. The study has found that men who have ejaculate daily produce sperm with less damaged DNA. While such actions decrease sperm concentration, it does increase motility, meaning healthier sperm have a better chance of making it all the way to the egg. Good news, as another report has found severe chromosome abnormalities in over 90% of IVF eggs, meaning artificial insemination is just now discovering a whole new field of problems."

Kalamazoo Promise Details - no need to worry about college tuition raising faster than your 401K or inflation. And the poster above saying that 38K is enough for a family should have added that it is also enough to send the kids to college with the Promise.
