Linux User Group Gathering

Mark your calendars

The Bahrain Linux User Group is gathering on 4:00PM Saturday, April 12th at the Belle View Apartments (for directions see LUG Location)

The topic will be as follows:

Linux Help Session

All participants are encouraged to submit questions, problems, and desires related to Linux. We will then try and find resolutions and possible ways to get what you want out of Linux. Below are some examples of the types of questions would love to hear about:

Some examples

• How can I do this in Linux? (e.g. Copy a DVD, connect an ipod, edit videos)
• How can I fix this problem I had? (e.g. Wireless Network, Suspend)
• What is this thing? (e.g. the Linux Kernel, GNOME)

Hackers go beyond damaging computers and networks

This is just sick !!

Hackers use flashing animated images posted on an online forum to assault epileptic patients.

Off to Barcelona

Barcelona, here I come

How sweetly shocking!

what's with Chelsea and letting go of their most successful manager ever! It is getting better and better for Liverpool to clinch the very-much-missed premiership title.

I can't be any happier. Viva la Scousers.

I vividly hear Kopites chanting:

London Bridge is falling down
Falling down, falling down
London Bridge is falling down
Poor old Chelsea
Build it up with Red and White
Red and White
Red and White
Build it up with Red and White
Poor old Chelsea

Latest trend in malicious hacking

THEME: Security

Riding on top of the worldwide appeal of youtube videos, the "Storm Botnet" hacking group bombarded the net with spam email promising funny videos. But when you click on the link, it takes you to their web server that tries to infest your PC with their viruses converting it into a zombie machine that can do whatever the hackers want.

Watch out people. Avoid clicking on links that promise funny videos from people you don't know. The good news is that gmail, and possibly other web based email servers catch these emails as spam. The bad news is, they slip through to batelco's mailboxes.

Here are more details.
