Music: Only buy used. Again, it's not that hard to find your favorite artists. Wanna support the artist? Go see their show, buy their ts-shirt or cd AT THE SHOW.
What about ppl who live in a country where your fav artist will never perform a show?? I live in a small country you insensitive clod
I wonder how could Accion Ecologica be involved in a technology project. They are some ecological radicalist who are against anything that have to do with progress, they even pretend to go back and live in the jungle, with no technology, even worst than amish... I don't think that anything goood could come from this project now... the CONFEUNASSC is another organization agains anything that will help the country is also a movement seeking the country to be back on progress.
Education for sure. Books, schools, etc. How about a computer and internet connectivity? That's right, I'm from Ecuador, most of the people here don't have much knowledge about a lot of technology. But I don't quite could trust in a project like this one. It sounds really nice when you read about it but don't live the reality of what happens here. I just wonder what will the people from Indymedia consider "The rigth people" to who they are going to give the control of the project. My first guess is that will be to some other radicalists from here, and that's when you start to worry about the project. Considering that one of the biggest problems that Ecuador has is that Education has been managed by radicalist who are not thinking about the good of people but just their good, and that happens also with most of the social organizations down here. So I don't really know if those good resources will really get to the rigth people to make the usufull to the development.
The reason Linux has succeeded is that it is free I don't think that that is the only reason, ofcourse it helps, but is not the only reason... The main strength for linux is it's robustness and the posiblility of do with it whatever you want and need, and there are always people out there willing to help you out, you can get really good tech support for linux out there on newsgroups or irc rooms, but is really hard to get good tech support for M$ products cause not even their people are good at helping. Entusiasm is our main weapon on leading the computer industry, and this doesn't apply just to linux but also to other OSS.
what's this crap about Linux dying? Linux can't die until the last developer croaks. This reminds me to Galileo who said that if to shut down all the theories about the Earth around the Sun you could just burn the books and shut the mouth of one person, that would be easy, but what you would really need is to prohibit people looking up to the sky.
That's true. In a job I had, we had some HPUX servers and just switching to the next version wasn't that easy. We had to make sure the apps run on the new version, and some didn't, some others worked, but we didn't had support from the main office for them. So the problem becomes not just how the people are trained to work with a system, but the eviorment you have on your company, like the apps running.
You wouldn't say that if you would actually live there.. I live right next to Colombia, and we DO KNOW what it must be to be there... and I'm gald I'm not there, and scared that that sh*t is moving to my country...
I just checked what was changed on the site really quickly, but found it great. I used to wait for a long time for the homepage to load, now on FM it was loadead in seconds. I just need to make sure the themes can be downloaded and not be 4k all of them.
Maybe you could take some few fat cells and use this metioned in this same article to get some more fat for yourself.Actually, if I could gain some weight with this It'll be cool (I'm skinny too )
I've watch those "Beast Wars" they even have Optimus... but he is a Gorilla... that really sucks.. but I wish I could watch again the original episodes those where the best;)
I think that most of the programmers like working at night, I'm one of them. I guess that companies could realize this and let people some flexibility with the schedule, and I'm thinking that most of the programmers might chosse working late at night rather than in the morning.
What I've found is that I wouldn't ever be happy with a job wheree I have to code for preasure. My favorite time is at nigth, listening to some alternative or rock music, a big mug full of Iced Tea, some candy bars or cookies and just do whatevere i like...
That's why I preffer not to have a programming job anymore, I hate when being preasure of doing something and I just can't get in the mood to have it done in that moment...
I would go give some info on everything covered on chapter 2 of Essential System Administration (From O'Reilly), then some of the most used commands like ls, grep, mv, cp, etc. and introduce them to writing scripts and the power it has. Also the way to get things configured and include some gui's to do the job..
When I first read the first review here about the ease to use of Lycoris I got very interested to implement it on my job.
The first thing I did was try to intall it on an old PII 266 64MB RAM, the installation was easy but long, then when I try it it was easy, I like the Network Neighborhood-like thing... but in general, my experience was a really slow system... and plus, I would have like to chose the packages that I want to install... Everytime I opened Konqueror was a damn slow thing and had to wait for about a minute for it to be usable (then another 30 secs. to go to a directory)
I thought it might have been the computer was an old one taken from a lab (I work on a University) so I try to install it on a newer one but I had trouble to boot the cd on that one.. I try on another one of the same configuration, same problem, so I thought it might be some wired problems with the bios or something (didn't went any deep on that).
So finally I tried on my box at home (It had to work on that one:) So the installation was done nicely and quick. Looked nice, except for the problem of not being able to choose the packages. But then there was the final thing about it.. When finished the installation it didn't reboot, but rather show me a login screen on KDE. I logged on try one of the apps, crashed, try a couple more, crashed both...
And that was the end of me using lycoris, shut it down and got back to Debian. From my experience I would say that is a distribution that has a nice interface, but seems like needs to mature a lot still. It makes easy for the average user to work with it, but estability problems on its apps are still needing a lot of work.
I wouldn't recomend it for production yet, development is needed on it, so I guess as testers we could give a hand to the people at Redmon. I guess that ease of use sometimes sacrifies other powerfull features on a system... but what the hell, let's work on it:)
He is talking about the Oscars for the 2002 and 2003 with the next 2 movies from LOTR (The Two Towers and The Return of The King) I'm hoping those two will get more credit than the first one, but it'll be hard desition next year, between Two Towers and The Attack of the Clones.. I'm really looking forward for those two to come out
there have been worms exploiting *nix boxes, I think that the biggest difference is that running a *nix box u HAVE TO KNOW WHAT U DOING, not like Windows system that u just mark a couple of checkboxes to make a system secure. Unix let u specify exactly which services the computer will be offering on a network, and as long u keep those services secure u make lot for the security of the system. If u left unused ports open u can become a target of some exploit...
Also, most of the sys admins on the *nix world are reading about security issues related to their systems to protect them, while a lot of the sys admins of windows systems (at least the ones i know) dont do it...
Being worried on ur system and the way it is working is a big thing on Unix world.
I also use XEmacs all the time, I will consider it more a CLI tool, I think that GUI development tools are those that save u typing most of the code, while CLI tools are those where u have to type from #!/usr/bin/perl -w everytime u start a new thing...
I agree that u should stick to what you know most, but anyway I think that anybody who is good with a CLI tool can be pretty efficient with a GUI too cause CLI tools force u to know what u are doing...
I've found dreamweaver is pretty helpfull, but just to create the whole graphic part of a site. When doing some real programing, like perl, I will just take the template from dreamweaver and do all my work in that, it is defenetly faster to copy and paste the structure of the site, but when connecting to db's and pulling data from in, formating in a table in a way u like or need, is only done on XEmacs, for me is just the best tool I have when coding, and not only for web development but on any thing i got to do... (well, sometimes vi is a lot faster hehehe;)
I thougth that WinMe was pretty good when I first try it... I got my pc, I built it myself but haven't overclocked it, and I've found that between Win and Linux is a great difference in stability... From when I first installed my computer, I installed win 98 and linux (the same day) that was about a year ago, while running linux since then I've had just one Kernel panic and I've play a lot with the system, upgrade most of my software, recompile everything change a couple of things on the code, most of the things we all do.
My Win partition haven't been that lucky, I've had to reinstall like 4 times, switch from win98 to win98 se and then Me try to get patches, updates and everything else and I'm still not confortable with it from time to time Windows decides that it just don't want to shutdown, or when shutdowns give the nice blue screen of death Whenever it wants just screws up the partition and makes a mess of it at booting or things like that. It really sucks...
If I could do a complete switch to Linux I would do it, but I have a couple of things that force me to keep a win partition and ocationally use it...
at my school the cs department is really small, there is only one full time teacher for 3 students in my year (amazing uhu?) I've taken most of my classes with him, I had a couple of other professors but this one has been the best, not just that explains and give us good projects to work on, but during classes, since we are so few people he always talks about situations that we would eventually have when working, and tells us to always be friend with the boss assistant and stuff like that. Is kinda cool too that the usual relation professor-student has break and we get a long great with him
I would suggest Oreily's Running Linux. For me was the best guide to get into linux at the beggining after being used to windows like enviorment, it covers all the main tasks u need to perform from installation to mantainence of ur linux box
I'm from Ecuador, a 3rd world country... and if is true that the technology is lower over there, current generations get more used to it... and every time there is more people involved with this things. Internet access is one case... there are several ISPs and the market is growing with big steps. Although, this is a preferencial service to the middle and high class. It hasn't become yet a necesity of the people who in the majority has needs of more basic stuff like shelter or food.
