Firefox 2.0.0.10 – Security update released
Filed Under Linux, news, Windows | Leave a Comment
This update is strongly recommended.
It fixes following security flaws:
MFSA 2007-39 Referer-spoofing via window.location race condition
MFSA 2007-38 Memory corruption vulnerabilities (rv:1.8.1.10)
MFSA 2007-37 jar: URI scheme XSS hazard
But this is not all….
When restarting Firefox to apply the update I was surprised with the message that I cannot install the update because I’m not an owner of the file or do not have administrative privileges…..
After several retries I realized that there is another user logged on my PC and it was using Firefox 🙁 after closing this extra copy update was installed and now I use latest version.

Best use of PlayStation 3
Filed Under Linux, news | Leave a Comment
Recently scientists discovered the power of Sony PlayStation 3.
But not to play games, but to crunch numbers.
Gravity project utilizes 8 PS 3 running Linux – connected in cluster to replace 200 Supercomputer nodes.
Overall, a single PS3 performs better than the highest-end desktops available and compares to as many as 25 nodes of an IBM Blue Gene supercomputer. And there is still tremendous scope left for extracting more performance through further optimization.
This “mini” supercomputer is used to help measure these theoretical gravity waves – ripples in space-time that travel at the speed of light that Einstein’s Theory of Relativity predicted would emerge when such an event takes place.
