    Security on mybroadband.co.za

    I don't know how many of you reading this have ever tried switching to HTTPS on this site (mybroadband.co.za). For such a high profile site, I find it unacceptable that it does not work over HTTPS and do so by default.

    Angry Birds for Linux campaign

    Hi everyone, There is a petition on change.org to ask Rovio to provide Linux Builds of their Angry Birds games. This would be quite a triumph for Linux as a whole if we can convince Rovio to do this. The media coverage alone should be worth it. You can find the petition here...

    8-ta E173 on openSUSE with USSD setup

    Hi, thanks for the write-up. I have tried (on Ubuntu) using gssm-usd to query my balance, but I get some errors like "GSM equipment error: Unknown error (100)" even as root. Is the modem supposed to be connected or not? Either way, it gives me errors.
