  3. Billions - Spanish / English on Russian May Have Solved Poincare Conjecture · · Score: 2, Informative

    Well, there are actually differences between numbers in different languages: 1 Billion in english is 10^9, while 1 Billion in spanish is 10^12.

  4. Some info on Free DVD Recording Tool For Linux? · · Score: 5, Informative
    I use dvd+rw-tools and works pretty good.

    To burn a DVD I just do:

    growisofs -Z /dev/burner -R -J /path/to/data

    A very good option for doing all this very easily is to get K3b which is part of the KDE distribution.

    For authoring DVDs I recently discovered Qdvdauthor, and it works like a charm!, I was able to create my own DVDs with menus with custom backgrounds, sound, etc.

    Also check my homepage for help about video conversions: http ://dvdripping-guid.berlios.de

  5. Re:It's All in the name on ESA Plans Test of Asteroid Defense System · · Score: 1
    As a side note, this book (El ingenioso Hidalgo, Don Quixote de la Mancha) is to the Spanish Language as The Count of Montecristo is to French, Luther's New testament translation is to German, and the works of Shakespeare are to English.

    Not only that, it's the most translated book after the bible. I just started reading it (in spanish), and I'm enjoying it a lot myself ;)

  6. Tux not copyrighted? on Introducing Linux to Joe Average · · Score: 4, Interesting
    From the article:

    The Tux cartoon is not copyrighted--anyone can use it for free

    Does that mean that any company (SCO, M$) could copyright the Tux logo and we won't be able to use it anymore?

  17. PPP over an http proxy on Mount Remote Filesystems via SSH · · Score: 4, Informative
    I used to do that at the university. Here is gow:

    1. Get Http tunnel. You have to install it inside the network with the proxy, and in another machine on the internet (outside that lan).
    2. Create a tunnel from the first machine to the ssh server of the second machine (http tunnel creates a socket).
    3. Do ssh-keygen on the first machine, and copy the .ssh/indentity.pub file from the first machine to .ssh/autorized_keys on the second host. That way you can login without password.
    4. Now configure both machines to do PPP over ssh. I wrote the explanations here , look at the comment with a subject saying "PPP over SSH". It's in spanish, but you can translate it with babelfish, and at least you can get the scripts from there. If you don't manage, look in google for "ppp over ssh" or "firewall piercing".
    5. Configure the first machine to use the second host as the default gateway (through this new ppp network device), and configure the second machine to do NAT for the first one.
    There you go, you have unrestricted access to the internet through the most firewalled network in the world, and through a proxy ;).

    You need to have root in both machines, but is worthwile, trust me! ];>> The first time it could look a little bit complicated, but afterwards you can just create a script to do the whole thing, so next time you'll only have to do "./create_tunnel" on the first machine to do the whole process.

  24. Why not apply advertising (adware) to Open Source? on IAB Recommends Larger Web Advertising · · Score: 1

    Here is something I've been thinking for a while, and I think it could help open source: What about optional ad-ware in open source? I mean, you open mozilla, and before it loads the homepage, it loads some kind of banner, and that gives money to mozilla developers. When you are sick of the bloody banner, just go to Edit -> Preferences -> Advertising, and turn it off. So this advert is optional. I think lots of people will leave it on voluntarily, and that's money for open source.

    What about each time KDE/Gnome starts up it shows a banner taken from the net?

    The more people using open source, the more support for them. I think it's such a good idea.

    So what do you think?

    Cheers.
