There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged.

The other, of course, involves Orcs. -John Rogers Two Novels that can change your life...

Internet Society IPv6 Portal. This might move.

PPC Linux
Very happily, I guess because IBM is spending money, the PPC is coming back from the almost dead in terms of linux distros.
F16 will support PPC64. I even saw a presentation on Watson (a power 7 system) which talked about how F16 should be fully supported when it comes out.
F16 on an old system. Sounds painful.
And finally Ubuntu has moved back to having PPC builds. They don't work on any of my mac powerbooks completely, but, it's a start.

Interesting article about AF447, complexity, and human response. Well worth reading as well as the referenced Popular Mechanics article.
