How to Upgrade to Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex

It took me a while to find this, and it should not be done on a production machine (I'm installing it in Virtualbox), but here is how to install very early version of the next version of Ubuntu:

1. Install Hardy
2. change /etc/apt/sources.list so it contains only this:
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid main restricted universe multiverse
3. sudo aptitude update
4. sudo aptitude dist-upgrade

EDIT: You can now download an iso of Intrepid from here (note: These ISO's don't seem to work with Virtualbox - see bug report here).

EDIT EDIT: If you want to try a liveCD, look here.

EDIT EDIT EDIT: Now that the alphas are out, the easiest way to upgrade to Intrepid is with the following command (still not recommended for production machines):

sudo update-manager -d

Base64 decode to file

The internet sometimes sucks. I spent about 20 minutes searching the internet for an easy way to decode a base64 file in linux. Shouldn't be that hard. In fact, there is a base64 command. But fuck me, I sure couldn't get it to work with the file I had (which was supposed to decode into a .jpg). There is tons of nonsense about the theory and some stupid unhelpful web applications, but no practical examples. That is, until I stumbled upon this little gem - which gave me exactly what I wanted. perl -MMIME::Base64 -ne 'print decode_base64($_)' < file.txt > out A one-liner in Perl (of course). The fact that this info was so easy, yet it was so hard to find pisses me off. I'm sure there are other ways to do this. In fact, if you know of other ways to do this, then please leave me a comment telling me how. I hate when good info gets buried under the load of crap clogging the internet tubes.

Swiftboating from the Left - Paul Harris's "The Real McCain"

The teaser of Harris's article is this: "To his fans he's a lovable patriot with a maverick streak. But to his critics he's an anti-abortion Creationist who surrounds himself with religious extremists. Paul Harris uncovers the dark side of John McCain" I'm an Obama supporter, but merely from the teaser I already want to run to McCain's defense. An "anti-abortion Creationist"? Really?? Bullshit. This is like the Obama "Terrorist fist jab" teaser on Fox - its utterly stupid. And provably so from a not-to-long ago debate: The rest of the article is blindingly obvious in its propagandistic machinery. Briefly mention a few reasons someone might think he's not such a bad guy (make sure to put it in the subjunctive). Claim this is all a facade to "propel him to the Oval Office". Expose the "dark side" that "lies behind his public mask". Pull out any dirt you can and start slinging. Precisely this formula is ...
