Resumido. Con ninguno de los instaladores de google podemos elegir en que directorio se instala. Lo más cercano a no instalarlo dentro de Documents and Settings es este instalador:

 

http://www.google.com/chrome/eula.html?msi=true

 

Por el momento no hay links directos desde ningún lado. Se tienen que acordar esa página para conseguirlo.

 

Desde ese instalador se puede instalar el navegador en "C:\Program Files"... Qué? querían elegir donde instalarlo? instalarlo en otro disco? decidir por ustedes mismos? No, no, no vivimos en democracia (?)

Como tener soporte para varios lenguages dependiendo del contacto en Pidgin

 

Instalamos los siguientes paquetes desde la GUI de Synaptic o desde la linea de comandos:

language-support-es pidgin-plugin-pack

 

En Pidgin habilitamos Switch Spell. Y ahora el lenguaje con el que corrige a cada contacto es independiente. Lo configuramos haciendo click derecho sobre el TextBox del chat.

Agregamos 2 cucharaditas de sal y dejamos reposar hasta que nos hable alguien.

 

 

En windows:

Ni idea. Probablemente involucre descargar archivos de distintos sitios manualmente, después poner los plugins en la carpeta del pidgin y todo ese tipo de cosas. El que tenga ganas de gastar tiempo en checkear los distintos sitios de descargas, bajar los archivos, descomprimirlos, y copiarlos manualmente, está invitado a agregar la info en los comentarios. Yo prefiero la opción rápida y fácil.

 

El plugin de pidgin hace 2 años que no se actualiza, se ve que funciona, asi que no es necesario andar bajando el source para tener la última versión.

 

Recently unsealed lawsuit documents from a three-year-old case reveal Dell knowingly sold at least 11.8 million computers from May 2003 to July 2005 that were almost certain to fail due to bad capacitors. Dell employees were ordered to downplay the problem, and customers like the math department at the University of Texas got to hear that their machines were failing at such high rates because "the school had overtaxed the systems by making them perform difficult math calculations".

A study by Dell found OptiPlex computers with
the faulty capacitors were expected to cause problems up to 97 percent of the time over a three-year period, and to make things even worse the company reportedly replaced faulty motherboards with other faulty motherboards.
Documents recently unsealed in a three-year-old lawsuit against Dell show that the company’s employees were actually aware that the computers were likely to break. Still, the employees tried to play down the problem to customers and allowed customers to rely on trouble-prone machines, putting their businesses at risk. Even the firm defending Dell in the lawsuit was affected when Dell balked at fixing 1,000 suspect computers, according to e-mail messages revealed in the dispute.

...

According to company memorandums and other documents recently unsealed in a civil case against Dell in Federal District Court in North Carolina, Dell appears to have suffered from the bad capacitors, made by a company called Nichicon, far more than its rivals. Internal documents show that Dell shipped at least 11.8 million computers from May 2003 to July 2005 that were at risk of failing because of the faulty components. These were Dell’s OptiPlex desktop computers — the company’s mainstream products sold to business and government customers.

A study by Dell found that OptiPlex computers affected by the bad capacitors were expected to cause problems up to 97 percent of the time over a three-year period, according to the lawsuit.

Eaaaa!!! hice una aplicación hace unos días y como a la gente le gustó mucho la publicaron en la portada!!!


Siento como si la aplicación fuese el hijo que no voy a tener hasta los 45!

Yo hice la aplicación en java con los scripts para correrla , y otro flaco (jabberosx) hizo un instalador para windows

La aplicación es basicamente un servidor http + un servidor DNS, todo 100% en java customizado para saltear unas actualizaciones de firmware obligatorias de la PS3.

Microsoft warns for a VBScript vulnerability that could allow remote code execution on systems with Windows XP, Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003. The software giant advises users to be very cautious when a website displays a dialog box that asks to press the F1 key:

Microsoft is investigating new public reports of a vulnerability in VBScript that is exposed on supported versions of Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 through the use of Internet Explorer. Our investigation has shown that the vulnerability cannot be exploited on Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Vista, or Windows Server 2008. The main impact of the vulnerability is remote code execution. We are not aware of attacks that try to use the reported vulnerabilities or of customer impact at this time.

The vulnerability exists in the way that VBScript interacts with Windows Help files when using Internet Explorer. If a malicious Web site displayed a specially crafted dialog box and a user pressed the F1 key, arbitrary code could be executed in the security context of the currently logged-on user. On systems running Windows Server 2003, Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration is enabled by default, which helps to mitigate against this issue.

We are actively working with partners in our Microsoft Active Protections Program (MAPP) to provide information that they can use to provide broader protections to customers.

Upon completion of this investigation, Microsoft will take the appropriate action to help protect our customers. This may include providing a security update through our monthly release process or providing an out-of-cycle security update, depending on customer needs.

Microsoft is concerned that this new report of a vulnerability was not responsibly disclosed, potentially putting computer users at risk. We continue to encourage responsible disclosure of vulnerabilities. We believe the commonly accepted practice of reporting vulnerabilities directly to a vendor serves everyone's best interests. This practice helps to ensure that customers receive comprehensive, high-quality updates for security vulnerabilities without exposure to malicious attackers while the update is being developed.

There are still many Java libraries are not support Maven “POM.xml”, and may be we created a custom library which we want include it into Maven local repository. Maven did provides command to let user include our own or “non-maven-support” library into local repository.

 

For example, “kaptcha” is a third party library which can generate captcha image easily, but it did not support or provide pom.xml for Maven project. Here i demonstrate how to install “kaptcha” jar into my Maven’s local repository.

 

Steps of install custom library in Maven’s local repository

 

1) Download the “kaptcha” jar file and put it into c drive, and issue following command

 

mvn install:install-file -Dfile=c:\kaptcha-2.3.jar -DgroupId=com.google.code
-DartifactId=kaptcha -Dversion=2.3 -Dpackaging=jar

 

Result

 

D:\>mvn install:install-file -Dfile=c:\kaptcha-2.3.jar -DgroupId=com.google.code
-DartifactId=kaptcha -Dversion=2.3 -Dpackaging=jar

2) Create or modify the Pom.xml file, add the following code

 

<dependency>
      <groupId>com.google.code</groupId>
      <artifactId>kaptcha</artifactId>
      <version>2.3</version>
</dependency>

 

3) Done, “kaptcha” is installed in my Maven local repository.

 

P.S Just issue “mvn eclipse:eclipse” to update our eclipse IDE for the kaptcha library classpath.

Sir Clive Sinclair, the inventor of the legendary Sinclair ZX80 computer, told Guardian that he no longer uses computers. He explains his machines were lean and efficient, and that it makes him sad that today's computers totally abuse their memory and are very wasteful. Sinclair doesn't even use e-mail, he says he's hired people to do all the computer work for him, and that he prefers phone calls anyway.

The ZX80 sold about 50,000 units, and the ZX81 which replaced it cost £69.95 and sold 250,000. The brochure promised that a child of 12 would soon be mastering "decimals, logs and trig", although the trig would have to be saved to a cassette recorder. The average 2GB laptop of today has 2,000,000 times more memory than that offered by Sinclair's first machines, although he is keen to stress that computing ability isn't everything. "Our machines were lean and efficient," he says. "The sad thing is that today's computers totally abuse their memory – totally wasteful, you have to wait for the damn things to boot up, just appalling designs. Absolute mess! So dreadful it's heartbreaking."
You can read the full interview over here.

If you used just "apt-get install eclipse" then you'll probably face some troubles trying to install new software.

 

The problem is that the package, once installed, does not include the eclipse update sites in the installation, so eclipse couldn't get additional packages that are needed by other packages (like Maven)...

 

Add this sites to your installation sites!

Leyendo un poco sobre el desarrollo del kernel encontré artículos interesantes en las que se mencionaban frases como la siguiente

 

"If there is any one big problem with kernel development and Linux it is
the complete disconnection of the development process from normal
users. You know, the ones who constitute 99.9% of the Linux user base. "

Fuente: http://apcmag.com/why_i_quit_kernel_developer_con_kolivas.htm

 

Por experiencia propia puedo decir que este hombre tenía razón. Pero particularmente se lo atribuí a hechos como el siguiente:

http://apcmag.com/linux-now-75-corporate.htm

Donde explican que gran parte del código de Linux lo escribe gente a la que le pagan para eso. Asi que el problema hasta el momento no me había causado demasiada molestia...

 

Muy tranquilamente continué mi lectura de otros artículos hasta que encontré uno sobre Linus:

Pueden creer que (en una cita textual) el muy hijo de su madre dijo lo siguiente:

 

"Sometimes I write a patch but I don't want to test it myself — because
testing is for wimps — so I send it to the subsystem maintainers."

 

A alguien se le subió la fama a la cabeza!!!
