I just finished watching a bootleg copy of an unbroadcasted pilot for a TV show called "Global Frequency". The show was rejected by Warner Brothers, and wasn't supposed to see the light of day. But someone leaked a copy to the Internet, and it's widely available on bittorrent. As far as the show itself goes - WOW! Warner Brothers execs are obviously clueless idiots, because this show is really really good. There's barely any good science fiction on TV now. Battlestar Galactica and The 4400 are pretty much all that's worth watching anywhere. I'd love to see Global Frequency made into a series.

This is who the Yellow Elephant is for:
What hasn't changed is the fact that the vast majority of the parents who support the war do not want their children to fight it. A woman in the affluent New York suburb of Ridgewood, N.J., who has a daughter in high school and a younger son, said: "I would not want my children to go. If there wasn't a war it would be different. I support the war and I think we need to be there. But it's not going well. It's becoming like Vietnam. It's a very bad situation. But we can't leave." - Bob Herbert, NY Times
She supported the war, thousands of Americans have died, and now she needs to send her children to the meat grinder.

The server has been running for more than 24 hours without a crash now. I think that moving the fan fixed the stability problem. The board is an ME6000, which does not have a CPU fan. Even with the system cover removed, the CPU temperature was 64 degrees, so it seems that the board won't run stably unless there is some sort of case cooling directed at the CPU heat sink. The reason that the board started crashing now is probably because of the weather. When it gets really hot, the office is a bit warmer too.

I've been fighting some pretty severe stability problems on my main server for a few days now, ever since I upgraded my Debian install. I'm not sure what's wrong, since I didn't change the kernel. Sometimes I get an oops, and sometimes I don't. I checked the CPU temperature, and it was 69 degrees, which is way too high. I moved the fan, and lowered the CPU temperature to 39 degrees, which is much better. I still have a problem though, so I'm using ksymoops to track down exactly where in the kernel I'm having the problem.

The cdrecord package in Debian testing is broken with newer Linux kernels, so the solution to that problem is to download the cdrecord dpkg from SID and install it with dpkg.
