open source in engineering/manufacturing industry
by Kenneth Gonsalves 16 Jul '10

16 Jul '10

hi, I have been invited by one of the more pro-active engineering and manufacturing associations of the country to present a paper on the role of open source in helping our country compete with the best in the world. This is a great opportunity, because normally hard core manufacturers and industrialists have no exposure to such things. I do not have too much experience in these areas and request everyone to give inputs on this so I could make a dent in this sector. -- Regards Kenneth Gonsalves Senior Associate NRC-FOSS at AU-KBC

If its a dictionary password, then you have that twitter admin event on your hands again. They could steal it off the network thread if you're not using secure SSL or someone else's internet. That takes minutes. But you'll be accessing the account, so I don't think thats what you're looking for. Surya Sharma me(a)suryas.info 9920482321

[OT] Cracking email and facebook accounts.
by Rony 15 Jul '10

15 Jul '10

Hello, I have come across people who know people who can easily crack into facebook and gmail accounts. There are computer courses run by some reputed colleges in Mumbai where hacking (sic) is taught as a subject and those students can crack others' accounts. They don't need access to the other users' machines. Simply give them a user id and they crack it. They do it as ethical testing for friends. How much of this is actually true and how easy is it to crack gmail and facebook accounts without the user's machine being involved? -- Regards, Rony. GNU/Linux ! No Viruses No Spyware Only Freedom.

Anyone tried Linux desktop virtualization with NComputing L230
by Arun Khan 14 Jul '10

14 Jul '10

On paper the NComputing L230 looks promising, claiming compatibility with Linux. Their "middleware" desktop virtualization software posted on their website is for only one distribution specifically Ubuntu 8.10 (which has seen end of life). I installed the "middleware" software on Ubuntu 10.04 (as I did not have a 8.10 install handy) but the whole install is hosed and I have lost my 10.04 desktop! Sure I may be able to recover the installation but not without loosing time. I am downloading 8.10 and will try out the middleware on that platform later in the day. Would like to hear about your success/failure experience with NComputing L230 and Linux desktop virtualization (please mention distro name/version/arch). Thanks. -- Arun Khan
