In 2011, not long after The Document Foundation announced its OpenOffice fork, LibreOffice, the group also said it would offer an online version of LibreOffice. Four years later, it looks like we’re finally going to get “LibreOffice Online” (LOOL).

If you were a little confused about Red Hat’s open-source, software-defined storage options in the past, no one could blame you. On one side there was Inktank Ceph Enterprise, a distributed object store and file system. On the other was Red Hat Storage Server which deployed the Gluster, a multi-protocol, scale-out file-system that can deal with petabytes of data. So, how do you decide which one is for you? Red Hat’s trying to make its storage portfolio a little clearer.

Yes, the bug in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6.7 Squid web caching proxy is a bad one. As the Red Hat Bugzilla Bug 1202858 reads, “restarting testing build of squid results in deleting all files in hard-drive.”
I think we can all agree that’s a bad, bad bug. Soon, people were talking about it at Hacker News, numerous Reddit threads, Twitter, and on and on. Here’s the thing though: Yes, it’s a big, bad bug, but it was a bug that never came close to even beta testers, never mind Joe and Jane user.
RHEL 6.7 isn’t even in beta yet. In fact, RHEL 6.7 doesn’t even have a release date yet. This code is so fresh that if it were seafood it would still be in the ocean, never mind a fishing boat, much less your restaurant plate.
Red Hat Squid web-proxy is not deleting files willy-nilly. More>

On March 23rd, Texas Republican senator and Tea Party favorite Ted Cruz announced that he was going to run for president. If you then went running to his website, tedcruz.com, to see what he had to say you would have been shocked to see the message, “SUPPORT PRESIDENT OBAMA. IMMIGRATION REFORM NOW!”
Doesn’t sound like him does it?
What the heck happened? Had Cruz’s site already been hacked? Nope, it turns out that he’s never owned this site.
