Not many people may remember this, but Phil Donahue was one of the digital age's first technophobes.In 1974, the TV talk show host denounced the Universal Product Code, better known as the bar code, as a dastardly plot that would let grocery stores trick consumers. Grocers would replace price tags with bar codes and confuse shoppers, Donahue informed his viewers repeatedly. . . .

Linux loses the Philips webcam driver

data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20100%20100%22%3E%3C/svg%3E

The latest set of USB patches includes an unwelcome entry: the Philips webcam driver has been removed by its author's request. The issue is whether this driver can contain a hook for the insertion of a proprietary, binary-only module; when that hook was removed (due to licensing concerns) the author (Nemosoft Unv) decided to pull the whole thing. He has put up a web page describing his position on the matter. . . .

Linux in Government: Unseating Incumbents

data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20100%20100%22%3E%3C/svg%3E

To effect a regime change, you first need to determine whether an incumbent has committed a violation of trust and if the incumbent has serious vulnerabilities. What does that do to a candidate, even a dictator? It creates the motivation for and a platform on which a change of leadership can occur. It provides the means to put the change into action. You can accomplish this, however, only if a viable alternative exists. You cannot change it if the incumbent shows no weakness in public. If the incumbent controls the media, then few will understand the violations or the vulnerabilities. . . .

Leader: Linux "jihad"? Less hysteria please...

It's not the first time Microsoft has had a political dig at Linux. The partly Microsoft-funded Alexis de Tocqueville institution brought out a report claiming Linux is less secure than Windows and therefore any government agency using it is threatening national security. SCO - which has links to Redmond - made similar noises recently, saying in a letter to Congress that open source "has the potential to apply our nation's enemies or potential enemies with computing capabilities that are restricted by US law". . . .

Linux seller Red Hat and chipmaker Intel have released prototype Linux software to support a security technology designed to curtail the spread of viruses. The security technology, called NX for 'no execute', is built into several x86 processors from AMD, Intel and Transmeta. The technology is designed to block vulnerabilities that viruses and worms use to spread but operating system support is required for NX to work . . .

Multitudes of bug fixes and feedback on Red Hat Inc.'s inclusion of Security-Enhanced Linux in the Fedora Project have been submitted from the Linux community since the test2 beta was released in late March. Suffice it to say that the returns have been far more beneficial to Red Hat than any controlled beta release could hope for. . . .
