AP – Soupy Sales, the rubber-faced comedian whose anything-for-a-chuckle career was built on 20,000 pies to the face and 5,000 live TV appearances across a half-century of laughs, has died. He was 83.

Sooner Boomer writes “Nigerian police in what is named Operation ‘Eagle Claw’ have shut down 800 scam web sites, and arrested members of 18 syndicates behind the fraudulent scam sites.

The investigation was done in cooperation with Microsoft, to help develop smart technology software capable of detecting fraudulent emails. From Breitbart ‘When operating at full capacity, within the next six months, the scheme, dubbed “Eagle Claw,” should be able to forewarn around a quarter of million potential victims.’”

With more than 200 Linux distributions currently listed at Linux Online, it’s perhaps an understatement to say that newcomers to the field face a broad array of choices. In addition to considering their own goals for Linux, however, potential users may also need to take other factors into account. Hardware considerations are often foremost among them. “If you plan to run Linux on the sparc64 architecture,” for instance, “I think there’s only a small handful of distros that even support it, so that narrows it from the beginning,” said Michael Stutz, author of the “Linux Cookbook.”
