NASA wants you. Yes you can send your resume and apply at NASA for Mars duty. They want to hear from you and get future astronauts for long term space vogages. I think you have to convince them that you are 10 for 10 for this trip because it would cost around 55 Billion and cover at least a decade. -- Microsoft love linux.

An updated operating system is a cornerstone of security. Mozilla Firefox 50 released a few days ago is now available in the Ubuntu repos. My system is configured to update automatically. If you check your logs (e.g. /var/log/syslog) regularly, you probably noticed that Ubuntu checks for available updates several times within the day. I got my notification that a new version is available right from the Firefox browser. No problem I just restart the browser. The browser is a critical piece of software as it is the primary tool we use to connect to networks including the Web. Updating it as soon as possible is important to security overall. Every update brings security patches, performance enhancements and new features.

I've been using my Ubuntu set up since March and downloading stuff from the Internet. I have initially set my logical volumes like these: /dev/mapper/ubuntu-vg/Music-lv 300GB 38% used /dev/mapper/ubuntu-vg/Videos-lv 400GB 83% used My Volume group is 2.05TB I will be needing additional space for Videos-lv.

     and he is preparing to move with his transition team into the Oval Office. His election is a shock to many political observers and the world in general. Donald Trump, the president-elect, ran against Hillary Clinton, former Secretary of State and for many the most qualified candidate for the presidency in many years. This has led to many post election analysis of how this upset happened. The numbers of votes for each candidate and the comparisons with previous presidential elections point to the fact that the white vote for Mr. Trump is solid all throughout but the minority and black votes did not come for Mrs. Clinton. This is what happened in crucial States like Michigan and Florida. The Republicans kept Congress and the Senate. It is quite notable that Russia and in particular, Vladimir Putin, is happy that they are going to talk to Mr. Trump rather than Mrs. Clinton. It is also a ...

This gadgets, this appliances, were elevated to the level of computers, tablets and smartphones without the necessary protection against hacking. Our refrigerators, cameras, DVRs and soon our cars are joining us in the Internet and it is trivial to turn these against us. It looks like a bad start for something so promising. Is connecting and networking these things as hard as hacking them? There's no doubt humans are in the Internet and they would want their things with them. Some of us are just learning to swim and they are loading sharks and other monsters into the pool. How can we turn it around? The gadgets responsible for the DDoS were made by a single manufacturer. So I guess they learned something very important. Have we all learn the lesson?
