Submission + - Jumping to Ubuntu at work for non-Linux geeks
twigles writes: I'm a network engineer, meaning I spend my days dealing with things like selective route advertisements, peering, and traffic engineering; I'm not a Linux admin or developer. About 6 months ago I finally got fed up enough with my experience on Windows XP to jump ship to Ubuntu 8.04, despite not having much Linux experience, particularly on the desktop. Read my ramblings for an engineer's take on taking what can be a pretty intimidating plunge for us Linux noobcakes.
Submission + - Punk Legends TSOL Offer Latest Album for Free
twigles writes: Old-school punk rockers TSOL's latest album is available for free download in the name of "Life, Liberty, and The Pursuit of Free Downloads" in DRM-free, 320Kb mp3 format.

Since I did a "show buffers all" on a 4948 and it reloaded the box. General rule I follow is that if you have to have root access to do something, it's not a vulnerability. This is just a TAC case/bug fix.
Submission + - Bush expands legal warrantless wiretapping (com.com)
twigles writes: "President Bush signed into law on Sunday legislation that broadly expanded the government's authority to eavesdrop on the international telephone calls and e-mail messages of American citizens without warrants. ... "This more or less legalizes the NSA program," said Kate Martin, director of the Center for National Security Studies in Washington, who has studied the new legislation."
I guess if enough people point out that this administration is breaking the law, they'll go back and change the law.
