I can't read slashdot ads , Yes i want to see ads , Main page is loading and then stops at ads (in header and footer of page). Route to ad servers works trough rds network , maybe after javascript is loaded they try to do some unusual stuff , or load ads from another server

Why i upgrade to the latest phpbb ?

Phpbb had many holes and have seen many forums hacked , that is why i upgrade to the latest phpbb whenever is released a new version ASAP.
I think is the same with punbb ,
One way to react is to contribute with secure patches (and code review)
http://phpsec.org/
There are other options in future (to test ) for securing php install hardened php

A lot of updates today in Ubuntu (security)

Downloaded files from http://www.fyracle.org/downloads

fyracle-runtime-linux-installer.bin

sudo ./fyracle-runtime-linux-installer.bin

Follow the wizzard and installed it in /opt/fyracle-0.8.8

Start firebird server somehow cd /opt/fyracle-0.8.8/bin$ sudo ./fbserver -a

oom-killer killed firefox

That happens when you open an 34M xml database export

Eclipse on amd64 with jdk 1.5 (aka Tiger) .
I have installed the CDT plugin (C++) Later I will try with
php plugin. I like the debuger and autobuild feature
There is still room for growing (i'm used to delphi like ide)
It's a good path for eclipse devels .
