Update your Putty clients
"PuTTY 0.55, released today, fixes a serious security hole which may allow a server to execute code of its choice on a PuTTY client connecting to it. In SSH2, the attack can be performed before host key verification, meaning that even if you trust the server you think you are connecting to, a different machine could be impersonating it and could launch the attack before you could tell the difference. We recommend everybody upgrade to 0.55 as soon as possible. "

Above The Title Productions Ltd
Above The Title Productions Ltd has completed the remaining books of the HHGTTG trilogy, to be aired on BBC Radio 4, starting on September 21. I believe BBC Radio 4 streams everything to the internet :) So, I've gotta find a way to time-shift the program so that I can listen to it when it's not the middle of the night here :)

Yahoo! News - U.S. Steers Consumers Away From IE
Finally, the Department of Homeland Security gets something right!
Yahoo! News - U.S. Steers Consumers Away From IE
First CERT, now the Department of Homeland Security. Stop using Internet Explorer. I'd add "stop using Outlook Express" as well.

Press Release
21 June 2004
For Immediate Release
SpaceShipOne Makes History:
First Private Manned Mission to Space
The world witnessed the dawn of a new space age today,
as investor and philanthropist Paul G. Allen and Scaled
Composites launched the first private manned vehicle
beyond the Earth’s atmosphere. The successful
launch demonstrated that the final frontier is now open
to private enterprise.
Under the command of test pilot Mike Melvill, SpaceShipOne
reached a record breaking altitude of 328,491 feet (approximately
62 miles or 100 km), making Melvill the first civilian
to fly a spaceship out of the atmosphere and the first
private pilot to earn astronaut wings.
This flight begins an exciting new era in space travel,”
said Paul G. Allen, sole sponsor in the SpaceShipOne
program. “Burt Rutan and his team at Scaled Composites
are part of a new generation of explorers who are sparking
the imagination of a huge number of people worldwide
and ushering in the birth of a new industry of privately
funded manned space flight.”
The historic flight also marks the first time an aerospace
program has successfully completed a manned mission
without government sponsorship. “Today’s
flight marks a critical turning point in the history
of aerospace,” said Scaled Composites founder
and CEO Burt Rutan. “ We have redefined space
travel as we know it.”
“Our success proves without question that manned
space flight does not require mammoth government expenditures,”
Rutan declared. “It can be done by a small company
operating with limited resources and a few dozen dedicated
employees.”
A large crowd watched the momentous flight live from
the grounds of the Mojave Airport, joining millions
of others around the world who tuned in by television,
radio, and the internet. Dignitaries attending the event
included U.S. Representative Dana Rohrabacher, the Commanding
Officer of Edwards Air Force Base, General Pearson and
the China Lake Naval Air Warfare Center, Admiral Venlet;
former astronaut Buzz Aldrin, and Konrad Dannenberg,
one of Werner Von Braun’s lead scientists on this
country’s original space development effort. Hundreds
of media representatives were also on hand to record
history in the making.

How Liberty was lost on the internet
There is an article over at sp!ked-IT titled How Liberty was lost on the internet which talks about takedown notices to ISPs. I was somewhat disappointed that the article does not discuss is the potential repercussions to the ISP (because of the DMCA) if they do not follow the takedown notice. If the ISP makes a judgement call on the side of the website operator and is proven wrong, the DMCA makes the ISP partly responsible for the copyright violation. If they wrongly act on the side of the complaining party, they are guilty of censorship. What's an ISP to do?
