In 1998 , in Ecuador, we had a huge economic crisis caused by many factors, one of them were the bankers that played with everyones savings, it is funny that most of them fled the US and some other countries. Their banks went bankrupt and they fled with our money. They lost millions of other people savings but somehow they landed on their feet with more money. Many middle eastern dictators have properties in the UK, also fomer dictators have had assylum in the UK, France and other european countries. If not look for Jean Paul Duvalier.
These are terrible men, men that played with peoples savings and life, killers, war criminals. But because they have money the are welcomed in these countries. Just pure hipocrecy.
I am hoping for a united front from the UNASUR in case of any problem with the UK, the OEA is joke. Because quite frankly we, as Ecuador, can do shit. The most we can do is complain against the UN. In the UN the US and the UK can veto any proposal. Maybe go to geneva. Expell the british embassador from Ecuador. Meanwhile the Economic disadvantages for the UK probably are going to suffer in 0.00000001% against for what could happend to Ecuador. I dont know how much we trade with the UK, but probably we can suffer more.
Because the US never imposed those dictators in South America as way to prevent comunism right? Noriega what? Pinochet what?
The US played with South America like it was their backyard during the cold war.
Most of those dictators in South America went to the Escuela de las Americas founded by the US. US backed up those dictators and military juntas as long as they didnt became Communists.
I am Ecuadorian and during my whole life, Ecuador has being going for one crisis to another, 10 years? Try 30. But that is something we learn to live with. At least with Correa I have seeing advances in infraestructure, our roads are at the best they have ever being. Schools and Hospitals are being built and I have seing some great changes there. There are many things to critice Correa, there is still a lot of corruption. The thing is that I when other presidents played with the Supreme Electoral Tribunal and other branches the US and other countries didnt seem quite interested in them, but when you have a president that doesnt follow the rules set by them you seem to get a lot of news coverage.
I dont support many things Correa does, i vote mostly NO on many of the questions he proposed for the Consulta Nacional.
But looking at the media bias against Correa, looking at how the opposition handles and distorts eveything makes me wanna root for the guy. (The opposition are basically the guys that have always ruled the country)
So when ever I read an article against Correa of 2007 of an American NGO, specially after I have seeing all my life how NGOs work, I would think it has a lot of credibility. You took from that article what you wanted to read, but if you read the bottom lines it clearly said that 83% of Ecuadorians voted for the asamble constitucional. One more thing, we no longer have TSE, it is Consejo Nacional Electoral.
I am linux fan boy, I went 3 years without using windows. But when SC2 came out I couldnt run it with wine, I have an Ati Radeon card and apparently there is a bug with wine, ati radeon close sourced drivers and SC2, at the end I managed to run SC2 with a really crappy resolution but it froze everytime a match was about to start.
Usually Blizzard games were really easy to play with wine.
With MMOs I dont know why they dont make client for those games? maybe it is just really hard to maintain a closed source client with many distros and libraries constantly being updated, without a community, but I bet there is good money with that. SC2 was the first game I have bought in 10 years. I thinks it is worth paying for someone to maintain a gaming network, a way to avoid cheaters. I must admit I dont agree with many things blizzard does or their EULA, but I love SC2.
Lets analyse both contenders and why anonymous can do shit to Los Zetas
From one side, Anonymous is basically an internet mob, full of script kiddies and very few "3l337" hackers. Their powers relay on what they can find during google searches, known vulnerabilities of servers, exploits and social engineering. So basically most of their power is from what they can find online, or on any electronic media. On the other side Los Zetas, a bloody Mexican cartel that has a huge monetary power, and from years of fighting US and Mexican authorities I doubt they have a server with some excel sheets with the names and ranks of people of their organization. I am pretty sure they have hi-tech in some aspects but I really doubt they their master plans are on the companies CRM or on their Joomla Website. Most of their organization probably runs on word of mouth from the bosses. They probably change cell phones, emails on regular bases.
So what can anonymous do against the Zetas, nothing just get people killed. They have a lot of money, they can certainly pay for people to find someone at anonymous and kill him.
come on, Jobs wasn't the nicest guy, he wasn't the best programmer, he wasn't someone who was known for his charities, (I know he had some charities, but they were few), he wasnt an innovator.
For me he was a really good businessman, nothing else. He just knew who to get associated with, like what he did with Steve Wozniak.
As a person he didn't seem like nice guy.
After some point when you start accumulating the amount of money he had it doesnt seem really ethic. One person having so much when others have so little.
He (and Apple) sue everyone they could for patents or copyrights for everything that resembled an ipod, iphone, or had an "I" on front of their name , stopping innovation.
From my point of view, the way Apple stays ahead of everyone because they basically control the chip market and distributors, and not because they come up with new Ideas that no one thought of before.
I never read anything that Jobs said that "opened my eyes" or thought what incredible guy he was. ( and i spend most of my time on the internets )
I read a lot of bullshit over the Internet, FB, an other places about Steve Jobs, and incredible person that pass away.
It seems like people are more interested in idolizing people that make money.
Just use Centos/RH/Fedora or Debian/Ubuntu,
yum install httpd php php-mysql mysql-server, in centos or rh might be php53,
In debian/ubuntu
apt-get install apache2 php mysql php-mysql or something like that if you know the basic of how apache php and mysql work, they work the same in linux.
If you are using CentOS, and you are bitching about the delays, and you really need the updates maybe you should consider using RHEL, and pay for the support.
Anything too critical shouldnt be run on CentOS, even if the CentOS project was perfect, by definition of what they are (they depend on RedHat releasing the code), they are bound to be late for critical patches.
So if you have little money for a server, your information is not that sensitive, you dont need the latest software you can use CentOS, for example a FileServer for a small office. If you are running 10000 EPR on CentOS you are an idiot, if you are paying a that much for software, pay a little bit more for O.S. support. Otherwise it is like buying an expensive car and use cheap oil.
I have nothing against CentOS, I think the project is great.
CentOS, RHEL, and Fedora are different type of tools for different types of work.
CentOS for when you have no money, or for testing something to run in a similar environment.
RHEL when you need critical support.
Fedora, just for fun and testing, the cycle of life of fedora is really short. I think is perfect for Universities, where they format the servers at the end of each semester. Never ever use it for critical stuff.
China already stole everything they needed, I think at this point, from a mutual cooperation at least the US can get input instead of output of information. You can't stop China from getting what they want, if they want secrets, they will bribe, steal, spy or do what it is needed to get them.
Avatar is the only movie worth watching in 3D. I watched it on TV and it sucked, the plot is basically the same as in pocahontas, but the effects on 3D were cool. On the other hand Tron Legacy had nothing on 3D, that was the biggest scam of all, if you took off the glasses during the movie there was no difference. I live in Ecuador so there were subtitles, that was the only 3D in the movie. It was just an excuse to charge more fore the film. Thats why I am reluctant to pay for any 3D, I dont want pay extra for that Tron Legacy fiasco.
cmdrtaco, please, please correct that summary. Can you change this
However, the Samba team has moved active development of the project to the more strict GPLv3 license, which prevents Apple from using the software commercially
To something like
However, the Samba team has moved active development of the project to the more strict GPLv3 license, which people at Apple somehow got the idea that it prevents them from using the software commercially
Or a more apple friendly solution,
However, the Samba team has moved active development of the project to the more strict GPLv3 license, which is not compatible with Apple closed source standard.
I think most of slashdot users will agree with the change. The summary is misleading and for people who doesnt understand this might make them that gpl v3 is for non commercial software.
How can you link two things completely unrelated like that??
Wikileaks is not about sharing secrets and revealing things. That is an understatement. They do believe that people are allowed to privacy. They are whistler blowers, so when ever countries and corporations are hiding information to the public about wars, oil, secret bank accounts, etc, if there is an informant wikileaks can be a media to share secrets that major media like Washington post or NY Times are afraid to publish.
Then HBGary comes and tries to pull a publicity stunt by saying they have information about Anonymous and pretending to sell that to the FBI.
Not having any idea what they were facing, Anonymous bites back and rips their head off. And publishes all the information about important Anonymous members that HBGary had. (Plus several emails and secret plans to discredit wikileaks???)
What do you expect from a group called Anonymous, by definition they will pretty much like to keep their anonymity. Besides they operate on the limits of the law, and have crossed that line many times, by no means they will like to be exposed, so DUH.
Comparing proprietary software vs open source is retarded. From one side you have certain companies and their products, in the other you have communities and services. It is like comparing a solar system with a galaxy. Open source or Free software is much bigger, it has an ideology behind. It covers a wide range of programs, applications and even hardware that supports. Closed source doesnt have an ideology, it justs looks for profit. I dont think it is bad to create closed source programs or to profit from that, just dont attack an awesome idea that benefits everyone just because you want to profit.

Yes because US never supported a group of terrorist, your hands are so clean on that issue.

I am with you, If an O.S is compromised with a rootkit 99% you should reinstall it.
