Clay Shirky: Institutions vs. collaboration
Monday, July 14, 2008
This is a rather interesting talk that takes some very foundational ideas from open source software development, P2P networks, and social networking and implies that these paradigms can apply to a lot more.
Optimism is an occupational hazard of programming: feedback is the treament.

Linux...Change Lost...
If you have a boot loader password this isn't going to work. That requires a little bit more work. However, if you have simply lost the root password and want to change it to something you know then this is all you need to do. This simply explains how to boot into single user mode when you are sitting in front of the machine and change the root password.
At the boot screen hit CTRL-x and type "linux single" and hit enter.
It should boot to a shell and then you can simply run passwd and change the password.
At the boot screen hit "e", select the line with "kernel" on it, hit "e" again, and add "single" to the end of the line. Press enter and then boot to a shell. From there you can run passwd and change the root password.
If your root partition is not mounted when you get to the shell you can run
to mount it. You can verify it's mounted with the commands df or mount.
