A few months back i setup a blog to help out our team to help manage the knowledge we acquire throughtout the projects duration. My managers fourtunately approved it. Though it was well recieved throught the team, very few knew what a blog actually is and very few have actually used it. It is rather unfortunate that some employees do not do anything other than things which are manadatory. I'm sure people would have used it much more if it was made mandatory to record all their experiences but we know that it's not possible. An oft quoted excuse is time. Blogging does take time and i totally agree with that but what is not being considered is the time that would be saved by someone else who would come across the same problems after a month or two.
If all the people crying above about BSD being dead why bother about it, why write about? If you people think your favourite OS is better than BSD think again, since i don't think windows, linux or BSD are the cutting edge OS'es. As for *BSD is dying. The latest Netcraft survey shows over 2 million active sites, and almost 4 million active hostnames all running on FreeBSD. Combined with the report that 5 of the top 10 hosting companies in terms of reliability were FreeBSD based.
Yeah IBM will do that until they are financially strong. Once it get's bad they start looking at these patents and trouble starts. Sounds familiar doesn't it?? Remember SCO!!
The article is too thin on details. It does not give enough alternatives and also does compare them. The article just points some of the drawbacks of iPod but does give info about other players which are better than iPod for that particular feature.
Well it is great that Novell has embraced linux big time but whether it is late or not is yet to be seen. Recent SCO drama does not seem to have affected Novell's plans, which is good since it shows positive signs that they are not too concerned about SCO lawsuits. One thing Novell should do is to make sure that they continue devlopment on Mono. Why? because this may encourage more developers to work on it which means more application for Unix/Linux. Remember that Windows is not the reason people still use it but it is because of the application which run on it.It also makes the life of the developer easy since maintaining two versions of source code is huge headache.
Though a shrewd move by Microsoft it may prove effective. Since it is very difficult to counter such move by open source. One solution would be that the local open source users groups can prove it to them that open source solution would work out cheaper. any other ideas??
It is ironic that a country like US is struggling to implement Electronic Voting while India which has the second largest population and high illiteracy rate is already using them. In fact they are planning to go all electronic this time. The problem seems to be from that fact that the electronic machines used in india are not fully automated as the ones used here and they are never connected to computers to count the votes
Re:I thought 5.x was the latest
on
FreeBSD 4.9 Released
·
· Score: 2, Informative
4.x series are production releases. 5.x is the new technology releases. There are two development branches to FreeBSD: FreeBSD-CURRENT and FreeBSD-STABLE. This seem confusing but keep this rule in mind if u want to use FreeBSD STABLE branch if you are going use it as a production server else use the current branch more information here.
To access the groups one has to simple use one of the free proxies, that it. Now did the government really achieve what it wanted to. A better solution was to simply ask Yahoo! to remove the group in question.
there has been 167 in this year alone in india. 229 people were killed and 394 injured. this is good news for people in india. we can only hope that it does not become another vapurware. india in the past has given up on good projects like this one.

here is a review at Splicedwire. As expected awesome stunts, great techinical movie making but thin on plot. Anyway i will still see it.
i'm pretty they will never offer a reward for finding bugs in their software.
