Computing, Even in Linux, is All About Failure

,----[ Quote ]
| Or rather, it is all about preparing for 
| inevitable failures, and they are legion. 
| Hardware failures, power failures, and most 
| of all, storage media failures. Ever notice 
| how fragile digital storage media are? Are we 
| ever going to get digital storage media that 
| can match plain old paper, and other analog 
| media, for reliability and longevity? Let's 
| take the example of archiving photographs.

| it, so I decided to record a quick 
| screencast.

Fedora 12 demonstrates sandbox for desktop applications

,----[ Quote ]
| Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) specialist and Red Hat
| developer Dan Walsh has souped up the security mechanisms in
| Fedora and SELinux by adding a desktop sandbox which he's
| calling "sandbox -X". Users can run desktop applications of
| their choice inside his sandbox, which then protects the
| underlying system from any possible damage.
