The ~200 Line Linux Kernel Patch That Does Wonders
Southern writes "In recent weeks and months there has been quite a bit of work towards improving the responsiveness of the Linux desktop with some very significant milestones building up recently and new patches continuing to come. This work is greatly improving the experience of the Linux desktop when the computer is withstanding a great deal of CPU load and memory strain. Fortunately, the exciting improvements are far from over. There is a new patch that has not yet been merged but has undergone a few revisions over the past several weeks and it is quite small -- just over 200 lines of code -- but it does wonders for the Linux desktop.
The patch being talked about is designed to automatically create task groups per TTY in an effort to improve the desktop interactivity under system strain. Mike Galbraith wrote the patch, which is currently in its third version in recent weeks, after Linus Torvalds inspired this idea. In its third form (patch), this patch only adds 224 lines of code to the kernel's scheduler while stripping away nine lines of code, thus only 233 lines of code are in play.
Tests done by Mike show the maximum latency dropping by over ten times and the average latency of the desktop by about 60 times. Linus Torvalds has already heavily praised (in an email) this miracle patch.
DESCRIPTION: A vulnerability has been reported in Internet Explorer, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system. Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code. NOTE: The vulnerability is currently being actively exploited.

What PHP does
Southern writes "You can think of PHP as a general purpose computing language if you want to, but it was designed with one task in mind and it is almost exclusively used for that task - generating web pages. So while it might be more flattering to PHP to introduce it in the widest possible context this would be misleading and it would make the job of learning how to use it harder than it needs to be.
So let's say the obvious to make it 100% clear.
* PHP is a language that creates web pages.
What this means in practice is that a PHP program's objective in life is to generate HTML or Javascript or anything else that you might find in a web page. In most cases and certainly when you are first learning PHP the web technology that is used is HTML.
Again to state the obvious:
* The output of a typical PHP program is HTML
This means that to make any sense of PHP you also have to know about the web technology that the program is generating, and in particular HTML. In practice this shouldn't be a huge problem because HTML isn't difficult and mostly the way that PHP makes use of it is fairly simple. However, it is important to know that it is possible that you could have a problem with understanding a PHP program simply because you can't understand the HTML it is generating.

The Linux distro timeline
Southern writes "Most commercial products run a fairly set course; you get Microsoft Office 1.5, then 1.6, 3.0, 4.0, all the way up to office 2010 (For Windows, at least). It's a fairly orderly progression, with version numbers rising over time – pretty easy to follow.
Open-source projects are a different beast, however. When enough developers don't like the direction a project is going, they sometimes just create a fork and go on developing their own product. Sometimes projects have to fork for legal reasons, and sometimes it's a business decision, too.
The bottom line is that if you could plot the Linux timeline, it would look more like a crazy family tree than like an orderly progression of versions. And what do you know, one Donjan Rodic has gone and done just that, in the form of the GNU/Linux distro timeline.

With the advent of Social Networking, are GuestBooks still used/wanted/needed?
What do you think? I have been tweaking my KISGB and as I was thinking about releasing it I got to wondering if guestbooks are even used much anymore. With Twitter, Facebook, Blogs, etc., are they still used or needed?
Please vote in the Survey block to give some direction.

KeePass Password Safe
Southern writes "What is KeePass?
Today you need to remember many passwords. You need a password for the Windows network logon, your e-mail account, your website's FTP password, online passwords (like website member account), etc. etc. etc. The list is endless. Also, you should use different passwords for each account. Because if you use only one password everywhere and someone gets this password you have a problem... A serious problem. The thief would have access to your e-mail account, website, etc. Unimaginable.
KeePass is a free open source password manager, which helps you to manage your passwords in a secure way. You can put all your passwords in one database, which is locked with one master key or a key file. So you only have to remember one single master password or select the key file to unlock the whole database. The databases are encrypted using the best and most secure encryption algorithms currently known (AES and Twofish). For more information, see the features page.

Critical Patches Available for Java
papamike writes "Oracle has released critical updates for its Java SE and Java for Business technologies to address numerous remote code execution vulnerabilities and other security issues.
The vendor has provided JDK (Java Development Kit) and JRE (Java Runtime Environment) 6 Update 22 for Windows, Solaris, and Linux for both Java SE and Java for Business.
The updates fix a total number of 29 vulnerabilities in various Java components, of which 28 can be exploited remotely without the need of authentication.
In addition, 15 of them scored 10.0 (maximum) on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) v2 scale, because they have a low access complexity and result in complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity and availability.
DESCRIPTION: Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Opera, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions or conduct spoofing and cross-site scripting attacks. The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 10.63.
