Happy Birthday to Manaz, for a coupla days ago. Also, the Daylight savings change was last night - so change your clocks if you're affected or you'll be late for work. :)

Arasta spotted this preview of VIA's EPIA M-Series, a version of their "Eden" mini-motherboards that seems more squarely focussed at being a DVD/DivX box, which is what everyone seems to be using them for anyway. Seems a logical move for that platform.

IQ2HI has some info about Google copping flak for not listing certain sites.

Bern noticed that IBM will use Linux for their next supercomputer project, to be called "Blue Gene". Meanwhile, the 2.6 kernel is on the way.

From Iroquois: Networked homes of the rich and famous. Microsoft gets fined $50 for MSN "graffiti". Good article on DNS, explaining it related to the recent attacks. Critical flaw in Kerberos. A guide to better fonts in Linux.

Ben noticed Ostat, which monitors bandwidth usage for people on broadband.

Loki sent in a funny/silly story about the paranoia of being a software pirate.

LAN stuff: Lanstock in Melbourne on Nov 23+24, DGC in Sydney on 2nd Nov, ClanCentre in Perth on Nov 9+10.
