People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use.

More bookmarks. I am dangerously close to becoming a referrer website with no content of my own but only Google ads and links. I suppose that is the reason I have refused to put ads on my blog; the last step off the precipice.

• LinuxPlanet Tutorials — The complete list.
• LinuxPlanet Backups Part 1 & Part 2 — I have been working on backup scripts for our company Linux servers. These links helped.
• Ludwig von Mies Institute — Homepage for one of the premier classically liberal (a.k.a libertarian) think-tanks. Great articles for those who love freedom.
• 10 Step Security — A short list on how to create you own company IT security policy.
• Exercise, 10 Steps — This article is pretty boring until you get to the second half which lists some hints on how to start exercising.
• Resultant Set of Policy Planning – Quick tutorial on setting Active Directory security policies for an individual computer.
• America is NOT a free Country — An editorial by Fred Reed taking about how social liberalism has destroyed freedom in this country, only in good-old-boy terminology.
• Fast Booting Linux — Open BIOS is a project to replace the existing IBM BIOS with and open source version that allows much faster booting, more flexibility, and easier configuration for third party hardware developers. Looks like it would be a good starting pad for a Linux hardware company.
• Turning a flashlight into a burning laser — Like I need a description for this one.
• Learning a new language — But not mastering it. Interesting article by Tim Ferriss about understanding the structure of a language enough to be able to ask questions and get answers. All in less than an hour.
• Mahalo Search — A new search engine organized entirely by humans. Kinda like a combined Google/Wikipedia. Good results sets are the product. Also returns Google, Yahoo, MSN, Wikipedia, Youtube, and Flickr resutls.
• Making invisible computer folders — A basic way to hide information on your computer. Is pretty worthless against someone actively looking for something but works well against casual observation.
• Backup Planning for MySQL — An article by the folks from Zamanda, the people who develop the Amanda backup software.  Amanda is probably the best Open Source backup solution in existence.
• Nagio — An open source network, server, and service monitoring tool.  Great way to remotely monitor the status of your network.
• Nikto — An open source network scanner.  Also does comprehensive web server testing.

Oh, and just as an FYI. Did you know that if you Ctrl-Click on a Mozilla bookmark it will open in a new window. Same for middle click.
