Oh, so the dog which was trying to do everything in its power to save its suicidal owner was the one that ended up dead? Fair enough.
This is why people can often feel more emotional attachment to animals they don't know than to people they don't know.

It's good to know when they put their minds to it, the US government can get results. I just wish they would do it for the good of the nation and its people and not just to save their own greedy asses.

Journal Journal: How to do forensic on a cracked Linux server. 219
This blog entry is the step-by-step process that allowed one administrator to do forensic on a cracked server. It's quite interesting to me, since I have had the exact same problem (a misbehaving ls -h command) on a development server quite a while back. As it turns out, my server was cracked, maybe with the same tool, and this analysis is much more thorough than the one I was able to do at the time.

Feed Engadget: Apple's 3rd generation iPod Nano revealed in "spy shots"? (engadget.com)
Filed under: Portable Audio, Portable Video
Sure, we know that the photo up over there just looks like someone took a regular iPod, squashed it down, duplicated it, colorized it, and then pasted the copies in a playful circle. But what -- just what -- if you're actually looking at the 3G Nano? According to 9to5Mac (and at this point only according to 9to5Mac), Apple's next move on the iPod front will be short, squat, and muted-pastel colorful. The site previously reported that the new color scheme will come in a variety of shades not dissimilar to what their "spy shot" shows, so at least their own info lines up. Other than that? No corroborating evidence from Apple, and no leaks from other sources indicating this direction... let's just say we wouldn't make any bets on this particular piece of news.Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments
