What about Junis? Didn't he download it for his C64?
/wonders if the 64 people below my threshold all made the same joke...?
autopr0n is like, down and stuff.
For the first time, 11 people were trained in Linux in Kabul. ...beating their previous record of 10 achieved in 2002.
That's interesting that the UN would pick up LINUX support. It's good, but still surprising. LINUX is a great way to start people on the right track to success, free of restrictions from the likes of Microsoft. Instead, they're only limited (freed?) by the GPL.
At any rate, it's definitely beneficial to provide them with a low cost solution to get up-to-date in the tech world.
the gn@@ h@x0r36 th3 sr7.
/wonders if the 64 people below my threshold all made the same joke...?
Apparently not. I guess someone's pulled some kind of distributed crap-flooding. Interesting, although I don't really think posting a bunch score-0 posts really counts as 'pwn'ing slashdot...
autopr0n is like, down and stuff.
whats with all the GNAA? anyone else browesing at 0 or -1? I wondered why there were so many comments below my threshold....
Islam frowns on pictures of living things, so can the penguin.
I like browsing "raw and uncut" because I do want to see all that is said - I do appreciate a good troll.
This GNAA shit is getting out of hand. Slashdot needs troll filters. Or better yet a crap flood mod that I can exclude from my browsing.
Seriously, a good troll is art, what you dumb fucks are doing is just plain stupid.
ymmv
I think this certainly outdoes the previous peeing. I feel for you timmy. It was a good story.
It was very nice to read this at the South Asia IT mailing list (the one linked in the main story).
Good localization is really important for the non-western world. I really respect the GNOME and KDE projects for developing open framework that allows this with reasonable effort.
...the UN teaches a handful of Afghanis some Linux and the first thing they do is swamp /. with GNAA posts. There is no limit to the wonders of technology!
Let the supermoderators mod it down. Use your modpoints wisely.
If you go to the surrounding coutries such as Uzbekistan and Pakistan (even Iran), they have quite a good infrastructure. It is just Afghanistan that has been left behind because of the war.
Why Linux, well getting aid money to buy software isn't so hard. Unfortunately, it isn't going to pay for the updates. WIth Linux, you at least have a chance of ensuring your stuff is well maintained. At least in Pakistan and Uzbekistan (I worked there, so I know), you can buy Win2K3 or XP for a couple of dollars, but you can't really use aid money for pirated software.
In palces like that, the replacement cycle for PCs lasts a long time. Three years ago, I was still seeing 486s in Uzbekistan under Win95. The ability of Linux to last longer with the same hardware is definitely an advantage.
See my journal, I write things there
Linux wins again.
Seriously though there's even a Farsi version of Knoppix.
Karma: Bad due to google bombing - Robert Watkins woz 'ere.
The GNAA is really pwning this thread. After going through the first page, there was only one actual comment. Perhaps it's time for an update of the filter?

Crudely Drawn Games
It has come to my attention that there is currently a tech labor shortage in Afghanistan. That means they must get visas for people from other countries to fill that gap, and work cheaper. Some day, I only hope the shortage -- no, crisis, that's better, it's a crisis -- in this country will go away. But, clearly there is sufficient demand.
It's not fair to other users. I had a few of these shitheads on my ISP a couple times, and my IP was banned for awhile. Slashdot really needs to get its act together, because IP-based checks are definitely not the way.
Maybe they should implement some crazy authorization scheme that's hard to automate. Or do what places like Yahoo do when you're signing up for an account: give you an image of a word inside scrambled pixels, and make you type the word.
For the first time, 11 people were trained in Linux in Kabul. :/
Unfortunatly over 1000 have already been trained in Windows
--
And in a related story Afghanistan is in need of immediate technical experts trained in removing peanut butter from keybords and poptarts from ROM drives.
no?
You can't really train for Linux.
Linux happens.
Not that they'res anything wrong with that, of course.
autopr0n is like, down and stuff.
Has Junis told him about installing Red Hat 9 on his C64 yet?
Someday, you're going to die. Get over it.
May I suggest that you ease a little on the intake of Afgani opium?
But this is SlashDot so no one here wants to hear about that.
Whoops. I think timothy is a different tim than in CmdrTaco's journal. Oh well. It's still classic.
Whatever happened to that "all humans are equal"-thing...
Martin
I do believe they already implemented the "image with random letters inside" and make you type the word, when you sign up.
Oh boy I hope this is not a hoax like this article featuring Junis and his Commodore 64 with TCP/IP by our all-beloved JonKats
(yes I know I misspelled his name. There's nothing I can do about that, can I now)
If all humans are equal then why do some have it all and some have nothing at all? Certainly the ones with everything should help the have nots right?
WRONG...they could give a shit
Only on a cellular level are we even close to being equal but if you factor in the genetic mutants and such there is nothing that makes us all equal. If anything we are the antithesis of your entire statement personified to the max.
In a prefect worl we are all equals.
It just so happens this world isn't perfect...
You aren't free to do anything, until you've lost everything.
Your drearily commonplace and often predictable misspelling aside...

SCO sues Afganistan!
Next question is what is going to happen in Iraq. Will Linux be distributed or have closed source software giants learned from this part of development and are the now lobbying with 'The Authority' to have Windows deployed all over Iraq?
The UN actuall postivly encourage it. Via Netaid the UN setup a group of voulenteers who provide OSS based advice on people out in the field. Its worth looking over there just to see what you can offer
Rus
Cheap UK and US VPS
Or even, why Open Source Software? I can see several possible reasons for the particular choice of operatingsystem they have picked to train the afgans in.
Linux is essesially free off charge (if you pick the right distros), which means that the UN and the afgan goverment can spend their money on other things than buying lisences for the OS we all love to hate.
Linux (and most other OSS) are not tied to a particular country of origin. Face it folks, both OS X, the various flavours of Windows and many of the commercial *nix belong to corpetations based in the US, and the US has managed to make itself less than popular with the UN lately.
You can still get support for distrebutions of Linux that can and will run on older machines, like 386s and 486s. Thus it is possible to run the infrastructure on the hardware that is already present in the country, instead of forcing them to invest in the latest and greatest from Intel or AMD.
Stability may be an issue. Linux has a reputation for beeing more stabel than a certain other OS, and it is certainly less likely to catch a virus. Thus money can be saved on support.
Overall, I think the monetary considerations are the most important here - while the chance to kick the US on the leg may be a (happy) coincidence. And off course, the other question is; Do MicroSoft or Apple even provide a local flavour of their operatingsystems?
Everything in the world is controlled by a small, evil group to which, unfortunately, no one you know belongs.
... for them to learn IT and what better way than through Linux. Maybe in the future we will see Afgani people posting here on /.
Things can only look up for them.
Yeah, but how about every time you post you have to do that?
How about we get some web developers over there, geez...
And about the smiley. The inventor of the smiley (forgot his name, search Google for "smiley inventor") had a dilemma when he invented it. If the humor is funny, it shouldn't need a smiley. This is like reading a funny book. If it's good, you can tell it's funny. Smileys are for added emphasis.
I can tell you: It's fucked up, GWB declared the americans more equal than anyone else.
Damn the GNAA!
Then Slashdot needs to ban the entire netblock, gather together every IP that was used to crapflood with, and then submit it all to abuse@netblockowner.net and let them LART the dumb fucker.
I've got nothing. Nevermind.

...a press release from Microsoft cleared up many pre-war allegations. Most interesting was the following:
"This just proves that no WMA will be found in Iraq."
Life is like pants... fit in or you don't fit in.
i wonder.......
I sometimes find it hard to accept that otherwise intelligent people can see a good bit of humour as a troll. I was considering writing a longer version in the same vein myself as I see a parallel between the Linux zealots and the muslim zealots. Yet people here put this down in the same light as the GNAA crap. No wonder so many resort to rubbish like that if good comment is treated in this way.

11 people were trained in Linux in Kabul.
Good linux people are not trained.
If you want to train a linux person give them a computer and a book and wait. Some will get it, some won't.
Even the book is optional with info and man pages.
How many linux people here have had any kind of linux 'training' at all ?
Afghanistan, Iraq, etc. etc. are NOT third-world countries. That's a political ploy pedalled by American politicians to justify why they're maiming and slaughtering people who don't look them and don't think like them.
The site www.undp.org.af is running Microsoft-IIS/5.0 behind a computer running Solaris 8.
What a pity!
lobbying with 'The Authority' to have Windows deployed all over Iraq?
I think that it's absolutely essential to have Windows deployed all over Iraq.
So many windows were broken during the war, and now there's a glass shortage there. Windows to the people! Keep the blowing sand out of homes!

A message from Kabul
You're assuming that the people here are otherwise intelligent. Get used to it. Say good things about Linux and you're insightful, say something good about Windows and you're flamebaiting or trolling. Say something stupid and you're insightful. Say something funny as hell like this guy did and you're trolling. My kharma's gone from positve to bad and back to positive. Now I'm working on the bad kharma again. So easy to manipulate these people. That's about all that keeps me coming back here now.
Solaris isn't that bad.
Jon Katz wouldn't lie to us!
...unless that company is Microsoft.
There's a Mercedes gap too. I want one and can't afford one, but it's not government's job to do anything about it.
Junis saYS everything is going well, he's really enjoying his new rights that americans brought, including vodka, awsome western music and treating women as sex objects (no more burkas!!) Please contact me if you want to help Hunis with purchase of a new computer so he can too join the linux revolution in Afganistan!

For Iraq, it is questionable, as development varies a lot over the country, just like with India. The latter country qualifies as third world in a lot of cases. Not by the US, but by themselves to get cost cuts at for example the WIPO. Besides that, they are not bound by all GATT and TRIPs regulations.
With respect to your statement on American politics: I am a European and do not now all the nuts and bolts of the US politics. However, quite some documentaries have been broadcasted about the already very old plan of Donald R. and his pal Wolfowitz. It's about the oil, stupid, not about the looks. And well... "don't think like them" will have played a role as well.
Going back to the topic again from this part: I wonder when Steve Ballmer will visit Iraq and Paul Bremer, in case he hasn't already been there.

I love the idea of propagating Linux and other free software in poor areas.
But I wonder what the options are for extremely-low-cost hardware to match?
If you consider that there's a lot of gov't bureaucratic infrastructure to build up, and not much public (international) money to support it, Linux et al are the obvious answer. Linux experts volunteering to do training are the next logical component.
How cheap could decent computers be bought to round out the picture?
I don't mean as in "Dell, give us freebies." I mean, could we get together good cheap PCs for US$100 including shipping? Or US$???howmany? What if you bought in Taiwan?
I'd love to see some charity/not-too-corrupt-NGO make a website where you could buy a computer for the department of your choice in the poor country of your choice. You could opt to keep in touch with its users as well, if there's a common language between you. Dellpaqarcdbmitsu and the like would of coure be welcome to help.

"Linux, built upon the venerable Unix operating system, is the creation of Linus Torvalds"
So the OS is linux (not KDE/GNOME/X/GNU/Linux), and it's a rip off of Unix. That should push RMS's blood pressure a bit higher, and get the SCO lawyers rubbing their paws in glee. It's hard to refute their FUD when your boss has just read the BBC and seen this. "But linux must be ripping off Unix! The BBC couldn't publish it if it wasn't true!". Oh dear.
If you were blocking sigs, you wouldn't have to read this.
In addition to the lack of information systems infrastructure, and more importantly, there is a lack of communications infrastructure. While there's no doubt that some big company (Worldcom?) who is friends of the Bush2 administration (like Halliburton) will get a multi-billion dollar contract to build a fiber network some time in the next couple of years, what does afganistan do RIGHT NOW?
Thomas Sailor wrote 'soundmodem' drivers for linux years back. These, used with other modules such as AX.25, allow for a medium distance (up to 200 miles) but low speed (9600 bps half duplex) link for CHEAP. An old Pentium 90 system is free in the US, so if they can be carted to afganistan cheaply, cost is no problem. VHF/UHF radio gear can be junked old Motorola (and other mfgrs) commercial/police radios which are reliable and available for almost nothing in the US, again the problem is carting the to afganistan. Antennas can be made out of wire.
of course I can't neglect 802.11b, as the throughput is much higher. But the distance is lower, and putting amplifiers and large antennas on 802.11b gear, and getting antennas at a decent height and aimed correctly, makes it more ambitious a project. But the great thing with 802.11b is you could have many VoIP telephone conversations going on at the same time.
The largest problem, as I see it, is power. I don't know what the electrical situation is there but I am sure it is pretty bad. I suppose there could be solar and wind power, but photovoltaic cells in particular are expensive and very likely to be stolen. Maybe just wind power then, made from junked automobile alternators. And bicycle power for an emergency.
Yeah, we can rebuild Afganistan. Now, how about Buffalo?
They were doing just fine with the Commodore 64s they had stashed away!

That's a terrible worldview to have. Throughout history, those ideas have been used to justify immorally ballanced and polarized society. In the end, even with all this justification, it never works. This is perhaps because when humans work together and share a system of morality, it benefits them collectively.
As for mutants: is it really their fault? If you had a rare genetic mutation that led to disease, I sure as hell bet you wouldn't be saying that. And yes, it could happen to you. I would probably point and laugh, if it weren't rude and inconsiderate.
Not all "mutation" is bad, anyway. Most are probably harmless. Some are even productive.
Developing countries (e.g. in Africa) are hardly ever mentioned as opportunities for growth in Linux usage.But they are, I think, some of Open Source's best opportunities.
Hardly anything is computerized there (in govt.) and when it is, huge and outdated mainframes are used. In many countries, the next few years are likely to see a massive expansion in govt. computer systems. Its up to the few of us Linux users in those coutries to tout to our govts. the benefits of open source and Linux in particular.
There should be a number of ways to do this, I can think of one that might be done while making a buck or two... Establishing companies that provide open source solutions to govts.and others.
All in all, I welcome this latest development in Afghanistan, and I hope that other low-tech. developing coutries will go in this directions as they computerize.
Five minutes later, they were trained on how to download all the porn they were missing out on. Who needs the virgins.
Instead of ramming a Western OS down the throats of the undertrodden Afghan people, we should support them in creating their own operating system; one which respects the unique cultural heritage, identity, and values of Afghanistan.
This belief that you can simply expect Afghanistan to seamlessly adopt the technology of the imperialist Western world is utterly fallacious. This attempt to push Linux in the third world is the highest form of disrespect imaginable.
Yes, all humans are created equal in the eyes of God. They also have an equal opportunity to succeed or fail. It's government's job to see to it that they have an equal opportunity. It's not government's job to take from those who succeed and give it to those who don't. If taxes were not so fucking high, more successful people would be able to give of their own free will to the losers.
Well if someone doesn't believe in God then what's the case? I don't agree with it being the goverment's job to see that a person is successful. It's up to the person. What you are saying just reminds me of socialism and lack of individual responsibility for making the best out of their life.
Most successful people have their heads so high in the clouds that they wouldn't help anyone no matter what the situation.
You aren't free to do anything, until you've lost everything.
It's not a terrible world view. It's a realistic world view. When you say, "This is perhaps because when humans work together and share a system of morality, it benefits them collectively." that much is true but in the real world it's not realistic. We do not live in a state of nirvana nor do we live in a world where people give a damn about strangers. That's just the facts no matter how sad it is.
This world was built upon survival of the fittest and that usually happens at the weaker person's expense. If someone were to tip toe through life while not wanting to hurt or offend another then we would be no where in terms of productivity and advances in all facets of life.
When I was referring to mutants I actually meant retarded, cripled, and such. I'm tired of political correctness just so another's feelings aren't hurt. Retarded means slow so just because you or someone else doesn't like the term doesn't mean I can't use it. Yes I could be maimed, cripled, etc. and end up that way but if I was I don't think I'd comprehend much on an intellectual level so call me what you may. Words are just that...words. Nothing more and nothing less. Feel free to point and laugh if I were to ever end up in bad starights because I don't nor will I ever give a damn what someone thinks of me. I live my life full of brutal honesty and I don't concern myself with what other think of me. I do have plenty of friends and family who respect that about me.
P.S. I never said "mutants, the retarded, or the diseased" are bad. They are all human like you and I just not as lucky. I have empathy for them and if I can help them I do. I'm not calling them names only referring to them in an honest manner.
You aren't free to do anything, until you've lost everything.
That's what we need. Linux associated with training camps in Afghanistan!
In the News Today: Ashcroft had the entire Linux community rounded up and held at an undisclosed location. When asked why they are being held he remarked "These are enemy combatants that have training camps in Afghanistan and are going under a new code name. Linux! We are still trying to locate their leader who calls himself Tux"
The race isn't always to the swift... but that's the way to bet!
Jon Katz: Stay away you fraud, we don't miss you!
Uh, no. The Soviet Union decimated the country, ruined the cities and economy, along with an incredibly high death toll. The Taliban just picked up part of the pieces in the beginning. A few years later they went downhill again. The Taliban DID ask other countries for economic aid and FOOD for their people, but nobody really cared until they decided to smash some buddha statues.
I never said we lived in a spiritual nirvana, and I never said that everyone is selfless towards strangers. I did however imply that a sucessful society needs to have some sort of moral standards, and work together (relatively) decently. A society that commits crimes against its own members, for example, is less sucessful than a society that does not. That is one of many logical and practical reasons why morality, and being humane, is necessary.
While there is definitely a LOT of truth to "survival of the fittest", I think it is very dangerous and immoral to turn this into a life philosophy. Throughout history, this has been used to "establish" the superiority of one set of genes over others, etc. It's a ridiculous ego game, head trip, whatever.
We could also use "survival of the fittest" to proclaim ourselves, as human beings, "the fittest", and proceed to eradicate "lesser", "unfit" species. In other words, we would say to other species: "Tough shit, deal. That's how ecology works." That would definitely be bad.
So, I would say this: let this "survival of the fittest" thing take its course, but don't try to take an active role in it, because you might get burned, burn something else, etc. Also, don't gloat in being "fit" because chances are you won't be at some point. I don't know, am I making sense?
Your attitude just seems to me... Warped, morally alarming, and on the arrogant side. It reminds me of German "eugenics" during World War II, among other things, and how a little knowledge, or simply thinking you are right, can be a dangerous thing. It's taking a scientific hypothesis, twisting it, and stretching it too thin. Also, a true scientist would know that pretty much every conception we have about what life is could quite possibly be wrong. So to make a whole life-philosophy based on things like this seems a bit iffy. Can you think of how many times in history people have been wrong? Can you think of how many people must have been undercut as a result of this? We are a race of people who have believed in the most ignorant things imaginable, and believed that they are RIGHT. And as a result of these conceptions that we thought were so undeniably RIGHT, we have done things with consequences that are definitely wrong.
Want some examples? Well, there are far too many to list, or even be aware of, but when writing this, I for some reason thought of Europe in the Dark Ages, which must have been a cesspool of ignorance, an ignorance that probably cost many their lives. Or even a small scale thing, like a misunderstanding between families, anywhere, at any point in time, where each side thought that they were "right", which caused unnecessary tension that could have been avoided, but ended up changling lives for the worse. There have also been countless generations of slaves and peasants, many of whom probably could have done things that were more productive with their lives, if only given the chance. But it was accepted that they were below other classes. Et cetera. These are some examples for why not to assume you a "better", or "right", about anything. I'm sure somebody can come up with much better ones than me.
But I digress. What you are saying, though, it is something of an extreme. I'm sure you'll agree that extremes are not generally a good thing in ideology.
Re: mutation: I was thinking of genetic diseases, which are mutations. I was saying that if you had one of those (and I do, albeit a somewhat minor one), you would not be talking about "good genes". You get the genes you get, some people are more of quality X than others, some people are more of some other thing, big deal. I don't mean to sound like some politically correct moron here, but diversity in all aspects of human life is actually pretty cool. Recently, I was pretty sad about something. And I was just thinking about life, and the state of affairs. And for some reason, out of the blue, I pictured a Scandinavian, god knows where, smiling, and wishing me good day i
That's interesting that the UN would pick up LINUX support. It's good, but still surprising. LINUX is a great way to start people on the right track to success, free of restrictions from the likes of Microsoft. Instead, they're only limited (freed?) by the GPL.
At any rate, it's definitely beneficial to provide them with a low cost solution to get up-to-date in the tech world. You haven't lived on Slashdot until you have abused the moderation system because it is imperfect.
I hear that the UN has their own distro. UNLINUX...wah wah wah....
Well I think you've misunderstood most of what I've said. I summer up what I had previously said by saying I am brutally honest but I also have empathy. You almost acuse me of having genocidal thoughts but how can one think in that manner and still have empathy? I'm sure there are cases of that happening but I for one do not fit that stereotype.
I also stated that I try to help others as much as I can but I will not lower myself to speaking in the politcal correct manner that some are out to convert the world to. Political correctness is on the same level as ebonics and ebonics has long since been dismissed.
One of the other points I made was if you stop to help those who refuse to help themselves then you are only punishing yourself. If I see someone panhandling I don't give them shit. I used to until I learned more about them. To me helping the homeless isn't about giving money to panhandlers so they can get drunk and further their cause of self loathing. I buy and donate food during the holidays for these people. That is helping and that is helping your fellow man...in my off time:D
I used to spend a lot of time trying to help and care more but it was usually met with thanklessness and/or ambivalence. I wasn't looking for mass media coverage of what I did but seeing the person you are helping not give a shit is bullshit. If they can't appreciate it then fuck 'em...I don't care. Those who do appreciate then they'll get more help from me...the rest are dead to me.
If you want a current cesspool of ignorance then just visit beautiful India and it's Caste System. Unless it's recently changed if you're born a peasant you stay one for life and no one cares. Funny how our tech sector is gravitating towards India yet I doubt the American companies involved aren't doing anything to better the lives of the peasants...not even in their off time.
You aren't free to do anything, until you've lost everything.
After which, the US Air Force bombed them?
I wish I could put everyone who's posted on this topic as a foe. What is wrong with you people?
