Coverage of the bombing in Bali has been pretty poor in the US (it doesn't have the immediacy of the sniper in DC or yet another car chase in LA). The
Sydney Morning Herald has extensive coverage of the impact of the bombing to the Aussie community. Bali was a popular "nearby" vacation spot for Aussies when I was living in Sydney during the Olympics. As far as I can tell everyone I know is ok.
Several Sydney area sports clubs were in
Bali and have suffered severe casualties.

The
City is paving Hicks Street tonight. Oh Joy.
(This means 10 ton trucks are moving back and forth in front of the house.
Sleep is not an option).

There's a new patch to the Red Hat Linux Kernel.
However, if you're a US citizen or under US jursidiction, you cannot be told what the patch actually doees. According to this Register
story, due to restrictions of the DMCA, the patch cannot be explained to US citizens w/o violating the DMCA.
It's intended as an exercise to show how the DMCA can restrict the flow of information in the US (theoretically to "protect" the rights of copyright holders).
