		Meanwhile, a long-simmering dispute between Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz comes to a head, with potentially cataclysmic consequences...Wildly inventive, brilliantly conceived, The System of the World is the final volume in Neal Stephenson's hugely ambitious and compelling saga.
		However many of the themes are the same, and in fact the ending of "Cryptonomicon", which I have seen some reviewers here criticise as just too implausible, fits better with the earlier volumes - where fortunes are gained and lost through treachery and chance - as background.
		More than just the last in his saga of science, politics and money in the 18th century - The System of the World is also a novel of ideas, a thriller and a slice of vividly imagined history in its own right.

		• Perpetuating a bewildering and byzantine aid system in which a plethora of at least 80 official agencies impose their own projects, procedures, conditions, and often competing objectives on poor countries.

	Vulnerability in WorkMan Program
		On systems where "WorkMan" was built and installed using the procedures that are given in "Makefile.linux" or "Makefile.svr4" (in general, this means on Linux systems and UNIX System V Release 4.0 systems), the "workman" program is installed set-user-id "root." This means that when the program is run, it will execute with super-user permissions.
		In order to allow signals to be sent to it, "WorkMan" writes its process-id to a file called "/tmp/.wm_pid." The "-p" option to the program allows the user to specify a different file name in which to record this information.
		In the general case, when "WorkMan" is installed without the set-user-id bit set, the normal file access permissions provided by the operating system will prevent users from creating or truncating files they are not authorized to create or truncate.

	Dancing About Architecture: The System of the World
		One nice thing about reading this book, for me, was that the time, place, and characters were familiar, so there wasn't as much of a "learning curve" getting started.
		This book is maybe a little slower moving (perhaps reflecting the advanced age of the main characters), but still chock full of interesting tidbits about the workings of modern financial markets, the challenges of maintaining a currency system, and fanciful look at the birth of computing.
		An excellent exchange between Newton and Leibniz marked the high point of the book for me. For some reason, it seems like every story I have read by Neal Stephenson ends a little too abruptly; I often have trouble following the last chapter or so, like it's an action movie where...
