Port-Forwarding With rinetd On Debian Etch

This article shows how you can do port-forwarding with rinetd on Debian Etch. rinetd allows you to forward ports from one system to another. This useful if you have moved your web sites to a new server with a different IP address. Of course, you have modified your DNS records, but it can take a few days until DNS changes become effective, and that is where rinetd comes into play. If clients still use the old DNS records, rinetd can redirect them to the new server. With rinetd, you do not have to fiddle with iptables rules.

Linux-powered LinPC desktop is a bargain

The new generation of inexpensive netbooks may be wonderful, but for my main desktop I want a real machine -- something I can open up, clean, and add to. So I was extremely tickled recently to trade for a new LinPC, an economical personal computer that features PCLinuxOS MiniMe 2008 preinstalled and ready to go.

Amazon deal confirmed - Windows XP not included

Thursday's news that Amazon will be running G1G1 v2 starting in late November certainly made quite a splash. I've seen north of 50 news-stories on news.google.com and within 24 hours we also had two major Austrian news-organisations inquire about the details at OLPC Austria.

Avoid the Managed Extensibility Framework.

As a .NET developer, you should avoid using the newly released Managed Extensibility Framework as its license prevents its use beyond the Windows platform. This will prevent your .NET software from running on Linux or MacOS in the future. Luckily, there is a cross platform solution available today that has no platform limitations: Mono.Addins, a technology inspired by Eclipse's own plugin system. We have tutorials, reference manuals, API docs, our FAQ our public groups and multiple large applications with source code available that you can learn from (MonoDevelop, Banshee, F-Spot and Gnome-Do).

The Growing Perils of Online Game-Play

As MMORPGs such as "World of Warcraft" and virtual worlds such as Linden Labs' Second Life continue to attract millions of users, they have also begun to attract cybercriminals, according to a recent report from ESET, a software security vendor. "Criminals follow the money trail, regardless if it's physical or not," Jeff Debrosse, director of research at ESET, told TechNewsWorld. The security risk to online gamers has topped ESET's threat list for the past few months and the firm's statistics indicate the problem is growing.

NetSuite first Chrome-plated on-demand business suite: claim

NetSuite already supports Apple's Safari browser in addition to Internet Explorer and Firefox. Since Chrome uses the same HTML engine as Safari (WebKit), the major aspect that NetSuite might have needed to accommodate is Chrome's new V8 JavaScript engine.

Pruebas más realistas para las baterías de portátiles

chonago nos cuenta: «[Vía Slashdot] Los fabricantes de portátiles hacen uso de las pruebas JEITA (Japan Electronic Information Technology Association) para medir el rendimiento de las baterías, pero dichas pruebas son poco realistas, y hacen que las cifras publicitadas se disparen a picos que nunca podremos ver en un uso real de estas máquinas. Ahora Sony pretende cambiar el panorama con las nuevas JEITA A y JEITA B que se basan en condiciones mucho más realistas y que podrían servir mucho más a los usuarios para hacerse una idea de la autonomía real de los portátiles que existen en el mercado. Ojalá otros fabricantes sigan esa norma también.»

China's First Spacewalk

Smivs writes "The BBC reports that China will launch its third manned space mission in late September, according to state-run news agency Xinhua. The Shenzhou VII flight will feature China's first ever space walk, which will be broadcast live with cameras inside and outside the spacecraft. For the spacewalk, two crew members will go into the spacecraft's vacuum module. One yuhangyuan (astronaut) will carry out the spacewalk; the other is there to monitor the activity and assist in case of an emergency. Two types of spacesuits — one made in China, the other from Russia — will be carried up on the flight. It is unclear why China has opted for two different types of spacesuit. Spaceflight analyst Dr Morris Jones commented that China might want to test the suits against each other. Alternatively, he said, it might not be ready or willing to fly a mission exclusively with its own suits."

Bill and Jerry, Chrome and the Next Linux Generation

Well it was a comparatively quiet week on the Linux blogs last week, due at least in part, no doubt, to the Labor Day holiday. Gustav could have been a factor too -- dampening, so to speak, those conversational fires -- but we here at LinuxInsider also have another small theory to explain some of the relative lack of discussion: Many normally active members of the blogosphere, we suspect, were stunned into a sort of dazed stupor by the first Jerry Seinfeld Microsoft ad.

Sony Pledges More Accurate Laptop Battery Figures

Slatterz writes "Ever wondered why you never get the 10 hours of batttery life advertised with your new ultraportable? Battery life ratings have been a joke for years, so it's interesting to hear that one big vendor is picking up its game. PC Authority says Sony is abandoning the usual (and wildly misleading) JEITA method for coming up with those 10+ hour battery numbers (they're still using JEITA, but not the usual way). Interestingly, the story has links showing the old and new steps Sony takes to come up with those battery predictions. It's good to see the industry coming clean on this issue."
