  3. Partial translation and article summary by ciurana · · Score: 2 · on Mexico City Adopting Linux; Software Rent Savings Go to Fight Poverty

    I tried, I really tried to translate this but the reporter's writing is horrible. Even if you're not a Spanish speaker you can tell that she writes these loooong sentences without punctuation. She also has lots incomplete sentences. The article is very hard to read, even in Spanish. Don't blame babelfish for the weird sentences.

    Rather than translating this whole aberration, I will try to summarize the important points, below.

    • This applies to the government of Mexico City only, i.e. Mexico D.F. Think of it as the government of the District of Columbia in the US.
    • The replacement is application driven; apparently some database is in existence and will be replaced with Linux and an unmention database.
    • The saved monies will be allocated instead to the poverty programmes in Mexico City.
    • They have a pilot program that begain in September 2000 and will go full speed beginning 2Q 2001.
    • The pilot programmes were implemented at various DMV offices throughout Mexico City.
    • The rest of the article is an interview with the chief coordinator of the project, Mr. Jose Barberan. It rehashes all the usual points: Monetary cost, risk factors, etc. He mentions that they are planning to replace Windows and other operating systems currently in use, possibly mid-range and mainframes, with Linux.
    • Other than the tentative start date, they haven't finished planning the implementation and roll-out.
    • The highest priority in the agenda is system security during roll-out.
    • Ideológically, they don't care if they use Linux or Windows. The decision is driven strictly by monetary cost.
    • The rest of the article talks about operational issues, such as how will the new system interface with other government agencies (local, state, federal), and how it will help in specific circumstances such as tracking stolen cars.

    You can read the partial translation at: http://gala.cime.net:8080/~ciurana/linux_in_df.htm l. I added some comments to the partial translation where they would help clarify context (i.e. what's the current peso-dollar exchange rate).

    Take care and cheers!

  4. DSL download in San Francisco by ciurana · · Score: 1 · on Prequel Trailer #2. Get it.
    Greetings!



    I just wanted to let you know that you can now download the Star Wars: Episode I "The Phantom Menace" trailer from our FTP site.



    Get the files from:



    ftp://lavender.cime.net/pub/star_wars



    Please read the readme.txt and readme.AOL.txt files for updates and instructions for download.



    The latest trailer is much better than the first one, both in content and in video/audio quality. The trailer is in QuickTime version 3 format, widescreen. YOU MUST HAVE QUICK-TIME 3.0 to play it. I put a copy of the QuickTime installation program in case you want to download it from here as well. We also recommend that you use FTP instead of a browser because we're only allowing 128 simultaneous HTTP connections due to the demand we experienced already. Go to http://www.countingdown.com for other HTTP download sites. Besides, FTP is more reliable. We strongly suggest using the WS_FTP client. If you manage to get an HTTP connection, download WS_FTP from the same directory where the trailer is, then download the trailer with WS_FTP.



    Take care, and talk to you later!
