The good news is that you can use your PS3 as a media hub, but the bad news is that you'll have to install Linux. Here's a guide to installing Yellow Dog Linux, the Linux that was designed for the PlayStation 3.

He's of the "I'm black but fuck you if you think I sympathize with poor black people" school, of which Bill Cosby is also a proud member. Today's Daily News column, in which he rhapsodizes about the plight of the black man, the black woman, and the "liberal white" conspiracy. Some choice excerpts: |

Port Scan Attack Detector 2.0 (Default branch) (Dec 11 2006 19:20 GMT) - The Port Scan Attack Detector (psad) is a collection of three system daemons that are designed to work with the Linux Netfilter firewalling code to detect port scans and other suspect traffic. It features a set of highly configurable danger thresholds (with sensible defaults), verbose alert messages, email alerting, DShield reporting, and automatic blocking of offending IP addresses. Psad incorporates many of the packet signatures included in Snort to detect various kinds of suspicious scans, and implements the same passive OS fingerprinting algorithm used by p0f.

More Protests In Oaxaca (Dec 11 2006 19:20 GMT) - Looks like the protests did proceed yesterday in Oaxaca. VOA's article is sketchy on details, I'm working on getting some of my own. I will say this, the issues in Oaxaca are much, much more complex than the Mainstream Media and the 'Indy' media are reporting. In a sense the issues are similar to the reporting that came out of Israel and Lebanon during the war this summer. People want to report about (and read about) incidents and issues that reinforce their own preconceived notions, trying to fit Oaxaca into an easy Leftists versus Rightist dichotomy. |

War On Festivus Begins In New Jersey (Dec 11 2006 19:18 GMT) - A Festivus pole -- or, rather, "world peace pole," but we all know what it really is -- is causing a lot of conflicts in Riverton, New Jersey. Yes, folks, the War on Festivus has begun once again this year, and we're not going to let those Christians take away our right to air our grievances and test our strength The number of residents in the small Burlington County town purchased an eight-foot high Festivus pole from the World Peace Prayer Society, a non-religious group founded in Japan in 1955. The borough okayed the poll to be put up somewhere, but still haven't decided on a spot. And that's where the protesters come in. Some council members don't want the pole put up, thinking it will violate the separation of church and state. |

Strong Public Support For Medicare Drug Benefit Changes (Dec 11 2006 19:17 GMT) - Despite the opposition from the pharmaceutical and managed care industries, who are getting a large amount of corporate welfare from the Bush Administration?s Medicare Part D drug program, the incoming Democratic congressional leadership has already indicated a willingness to pass legislation allowing the federal government to negotiate for lower drug prices in the Medicare program. Those who benefit from the current flawed program that was implemented with false cost estimates back in 2003, the drug companies and the HMOs, are already trying to buy the loyalties of incoming Democratic committee members to fend off any government involvement in the negotiation of better prices for drugs, or even the establishment of a Medicare-run fee-for-service drug program as a lower cost alternative to the managed care plans that are now overpaid by the government for providing these services. But a new poll commissioned by the Kaiser Family Foundation finds that 85% of those polled want the federal government to negotiate for best prices, putting the Bush Administration in the small minority opposing such cost cutting measures. The administration, as it normally does, lies about the cost savings from such efforts and ignores the facts, and would veto any change to the current program that would harm the financial interests of the drug companies and HMOs, who write large checks to the GOP and the White House. |
