<p style="text-align:justify;">Questa cosa che ho scoperto mi ha fatto un po' sorridere. Potenza (e stravaganze) del software libero open source! Ubuntu, una delle distribuzioni GNU/Linux più diffuse e conosciute al mondo, è disponibile in due versioni per Cristiani (<a href="http://ubuntuce.com/">Ubuntu Christian Edition</a> e <a href="http://www.ichthux.com/">Ichthux</a>), una per Musulmani (<a href="http://www.ubuntume.com/">Ubuntu Muslim Edition</a>) e una per Satanisti (<a href="http://ubuntusatanic.org/news/satanic-community-screenshots/">Ubuntu Satanic Edition</a>). Ciascuna include software specifici per gli adepti delle tre religioni.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Sfortunatamente non esiste Ubuntu Porno Edition...</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="265" caption="..."]<img src="http://www.siliconrepublic.com/fs/img/news/200809/378x/chromecolour3.jpg" alt="..." width="265" height="265" />[/caption]
<p><strong>Google Chrome</strong> è un browser open source basato su <a title="WebKit" href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebKit">WebKit</a> e sviluppato da <a title="Google" href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google">Google</a>. È stato annunciato il <span class="mw-redirect">1° settembre</span> 2008 con un fumetto di <span class="new">Scott McCloud</span> distribuito sotto licenza Creative Commons<sup class="reference">[1]</sup>. L'annuncio è stato poi ripreso dal blog ufficiale di Google.</p>
[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="350" caption=".."]<img src="http://blogs.pcworld.com/staffblog/archives/Google-Chrome.jpg" alt=".." width="350" height="321" />[/caption]
<p>La prima distribuzione di tipo beta, disponibile inizialmente solo per la piattaforma Windows, è iniziata il 2 settembre 2008 e disponibile in 43 lingue.</p>
<p>Gli obiettivi principali erano i miglioramenti nella sicurezza, velocità e stabilità rispetto ai browser esistenti. Ci sono stati anche notevoli cambiamenti all'interfaccia utente rispetto agli standard precedenti.</p>
<p>Per il <a href="http://www.geekissimo.com/2008/09/03/download-google-chrome/">download di Google Chrome</a> basta visitare il sito ufficiale.</p>
<p>Ma prima di analizzare il browser parliamo di come è nata questa idea da parte di Google, La "colpa" è di Eric Schmidt, CTO della Sun, durante la grande guerra dei browser degli anni 90, quando entro in Google i due cofounder Larry Page e Sergey Brin erano concordi nel creare un browser, ma Schmidt disse di no. Infatti secondo quest’ultimo la società non era abbastanza forte per sopportare una guerra dei browser, durante gli anni sono state assunte persone che già avevano un esperienza con Mozilla o comunque in ambito browser, e quindi nella primavera del 2006 si è iniziato a parlare di un browser.</p>
[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="400" caption="..."]<img src="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/connected/graphics/2008/09/03/chro.jpg" alt="..." width="400" height="300" />[/caption]
<p>Nel maggio 2007 Google acquista GreenBorder Technologies una software house per la sicurezza, e mentre tutti s’interrogavano se Google non avesse in mente di creare un antivirus, a Mountain View lavoravano per creare una sandbox per ogni scheda di un browser. E’ il lavoro è continuato fino al giorno del rilascio.</p>
<p>Passiamo quindi alle <strong>features </strong>di questo Google Chrome, innanzitutto all’apertura viene visualizzata una pagina dove sono catalogati i siti più visitati, i preferiti aggiunti di recente e le ultime schede chiuse. Se digitiamo un indirizzo nella barra degli indirizzi chiamata <strong>Omnibox</strong>, il browser suggerirà ricerche web, siti già visitati, ed eventuali suggerimenti. Anche per Google Chrome è prevista la modalità di navigazione privata (<strong>Porn mode</strong>), durante la quale non verrà salvato nessun dato delle pagine visitate.</p>
[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="475" caption=".."]<img src="http://www.sciam.com/media/inline/blog/Image/Chrome3.jpg" alt=".." width="475" height="386" />[/caption]
<p>Una delle caratteristiche che più mi hanno affascinato è la gestione delle schede, infatti oltre a spostare le schede sarà possibile trascinarle per creare nuove finestre (Molto stile Mac). Inoltre come per Prism potremo creare dei collegamenti a delle applicazioni (come Gmail) per lanciarle direttamente dal desktop. Interessante la download bar, dite addio a manager a parte, quando effettuiamo un download si aprirà una barra nella parte inferiore dalla quale potremo sapere quanto è stato scaricato e dovremo attendere per il completamento del download. Infine una delle chicche è il <strong>task manager</strong> (attivabile con shift+esc), ottimo quando il browser consuma parecchie risorse e dobbiamo chiudere le schede che ne consumano di più. Incluso uno strumento Inspect, una specie di <strong>Firebug integrato in Chrome, </strong>la visualizzazione del codice sorgente risulta essere ordinata. Infine una citazione merità la traduzione del programma. Già dalle Opzioni che si suddividono in Impostazioni di base, Piccoli ritocchi e <strong>Roba da smanettoni</strong>, inoltre quando apriamo il task manager c’è un collegamento alle <strong>Statistiche per nerd</strong> ovvero un task manager molto più dettagliato.</p>
<p>Fino a questo punto sono sicuro che non vedete l’ora di scaricarlo, ma ora arrivano le brutte notizie, infatti Webkit (motore di rendering di Google Chrome) <strong>è affetto da un bug che permette ai siti malintenzionati di far scaricare al browser file senza il permesso dell’utente</strong>, questo bug ha afflitto già tempo fa Safari, e senza dubbio giù a Mountain View potevano metterci una pezza, dato che <strong>è un bug vecchi di 4 mesi</strong>.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&#34;">Mail gruplarına yazılan mailler konusunda dikkatli olmak lazım. Google da adımı aratınca hala karşıma çıkan pek rezil bir mail mevzusu var. Bundan tam 9 sene 6 ay önce, linux kurmaya çalışırken yaşadığım bir sorunla ilgili Bilkent Linux mail grubuna yazdığım birkaç mail seneler sonra ilginç bir süprize dönüştü. O zamanlar 14 yaşında bir orta okul öğrencisi olan ben, soru sormaya çalışırken komik tabirler kullanmış, cevap gelmeyince "yaaa noooluur cevap verin lütfeannn HELP HELP HELP" gibi devam mailleri göndermiştim. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">(devami var)</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">İşte o maillerden bazı parçalar:</p>
<h6 class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"><em>1. mail: "img dosyasý yüklüyor 2 tane ve sonra hızlıca birşeyler geçiyor hızlı olduğu için okuyamıyorum ve bilgisayarı restart ediyor lütfen yardým edin"</em></h6>
<h6 class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">2. mail: "<em>LÜÜÜTTFEEENNN"<br />

<h6 class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">3. mail: "yaw yardým edin<br />

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&#34;">O sümük çocuk olarak 9 sene büyüyorum. Boyuna biraz, enine hallice gelişiyorum. Okula girip Bilgisayar Mühendisi oluyor gibi oluyorum. Bu günden </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&#34;">tam 2.5 ay once</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&#34;">,</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&#34;"> Turkcell Teknoloji de staja ba</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&#34;">ş</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&#34;">l</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&#34;">ıyorum</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&#34;">. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&#34;">Turkcell zor stajyer seçen (ben spring projesi yaparak girdim) ve stajyerlerine çok değer veren bir kurum. Neredeyse her sabah 1.5 saatlik eğitim veriliyor. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&#34;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&#34;">İşte bu eğitimlerin birinde eski defterler açıldı. Geçen hafta Görkem Çetin ile Umut Gökbayrak'ın beraber hazırladıkları "Open Source" eğitimi - konuştayı vardı. Umut, Türkiye</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&#34;">'</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&#34;">de </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&#34;">o</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&#34;">pen</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&#34;"> </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&#34;">source konusunda önemli işler yapmış birkaç kişiden birisi.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&#34;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&#34;">Eğitimin sonlarına doğru mail gruplarının faydaları isimli konuya geldik. Ben de, konu açılınca, 14 yaşında yazdığım maillerden ve hala google da karşıma çıktıklarından bahsettim insanlara. Güldük falan filan ve geçtik. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&#34;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&#34;">Masama döndükten sonra o mailleri tekrar buldum. Bir miktar detaylı araştırmadan sonra, aslında birisinin benim ağlamalarım sonucu bana acıyarak :) cevap verdiğini farkettim/hatırladım. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&#34;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&#34;">14 yaşında "ya çok hızlı bişiler geçio anlamıyorum" diyen bir velete çok kibar ve yardımsever bi cevap yazan bu kişi, benim tam 9 sene sonra yan masasına yerleştiğim kişiden başkası değildi. Hem de, pek değişen birşey olmamıştı! ben hala ona sorular soruyordum.:)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&#34;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&#34;">Dünya küçük... şaşırdım, sevindim. İlginç bir mutluluk yaşadım kendi kendime. Sonra maili Umut a gösterdim. O da çok mutlu oldu, içimizi sevgi kapladı. El ele tutuştuk falan. Tam öpüşüyorduk ki arkadaşlar farketti ve ayırdılar :( fazla mutluluk kötüymüş...</span></p>

Size yardim etmekten memnun oluruz.<br />
O onunuze gelen yazilar Linux' un kernelinin<br />
yuklenmesi sirasinda gecen yazilardir. Buraya kadar hersey<br />
normal. Yani bir sorun yok. Fakat en sonda Kernel Panic<br />
gibisinden bir sey yaziyor ise ve burada kurulum<br />
son buluyor ise bunun pek cok nedeni olabilir. Aklima gelen<br />
nedenlerden bir tanesi de Ram' inizin 64 Mb. dan<br />
buyuk olmasidir. Turkuaz 1.0.3 kurulumu sirasinda sistemimde<br />
64 mb. dan fazla ram bulundurdugumda Cd den<br />
boot esnasinda ben de benzeri bir sorun ile karsilasmistim.<br />
Bir de Rami azaltmayi deneyip kurun daha sonra ram' i<br />
takarsiniz ( /etc/lilo.conf ' u editlemeyi unutmayin tabii.)<br />
Eger problem bu degilse listeye tekrar yazmaktan cekinmeyiniz.<br />
Saygilarimla<br />
Umut Gokbayrak</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/212/491771098_30cdb7b1e1.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>A music player should serve to enhance the pleasure of how you perceive, collect, and connect with your music collection. When I used to use Macintosh computers, I exclusively used iTunes as it came directly installed with my iBook. I appreciated the ease of use, while not caring at all about the design of the interface. It was easy to use and neatly organized. That made me happy. Several years later (and several broken Macintosh computers later), I sensed a lack in the iTunes environment; a sterility and heartlessness. Looking for alternatives, I came across Songbird, which I still use on one Windows computer. The add-on features of Songbird were appealing to me. Giddy was the day when I found I could listen to music, write blog posts and watch Youtube videos all at the same time from within Songbird. However, that thrill faded as I began to yearn for a music player that was simply a music player and nothing more. I wanted simplicity. I wanted an application that would help pull my attention to the music, provide a beautiful and clean environment for listening and be neatly organized. </p>
<p>Jumping forward to 2007, I began running Ubuntu Linux and was impressed with the wide variety of music players available, all open-source and all varied in design and functionality. The Ubuntu Linux music players that I have used include the following:</p>
<p>1. Amarok<br />
2. Audacious<br />
3. Banshee<br />
4. BMPX<br />
5. Banshee<br />
6. Exaile<br />
7. Juk<br />
8. Kaffeine<br />
9. Rhythmbox </p>
<p>Of the above-listed nine players, and writing this now in 2008, only two have thoroughly impressed me and gave me that warm fuzzy feeling that has a tendency to get lost in listening to a music "file." The first one, which I appreciate is "Audacious." Audacious, with its simple light interface provides all I need to allow the music to come forth from the player, to lose the player. It doesn't bog me down and it creates a nice atmosphere from which to simply listen. The second, apparently made by the same folks (correct me if I'm wrong) is BMPX. With BMPX, it seems that strict attention was paid to both the form and function of the player; the player comes alive. The typeface that the designers chose is sleek and clear, while the design is easy to manage and appealing. Everything seems to fit just right. Also, it makes adding your LastFM account a breeze and allows an easily accessible internet radio browsing function. Through applications like Audacious and BMPX, one is able to regain the sense of magic that comes with listening to music. Granted, listening to music files is definitely not the same experience as listening to a nice piece of vinyl or a cassette tape, but these programs provide a nice alternative for those of us who have amassed a large collection of music files and seek out a worth player, a player that will satisfy us.  </p>
<p>Of course, my tastes and your tastes differ. I hope you find the best music player for your listening pleasure. Thank you for reading. </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="entry">
<p style="text-align:justify;">It was an unusual day at the UP Theater and UP FIlm Institute. It<br />
was jam packed with student delegates from all over the Philippines for<br />
the first day of the Philippine Youth Congress for Information Technology or Y4IT. Delegates overflowed some delegates from the Theater to the Film Institute.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Sen. Kiko Pangilinan was the keynote speaker for the day. He talked about his IT<br />
experiences connected with his personal life and his kids being good at<br />
IT and gadgets.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Mikaela Irene Fudolig, the youngest summa cum laude graduate of BS Physics, enumerated some problems with Linux in a consumer’s point of view. Linux is an open source and it’s free, so anyone can avail it but people still prefer commercialized software such as Windows. The latter is much simpler than the open sources which are too complicated for a non-IT enthusiast and/or professional. Linux must be easier to use, to understand, and more convenient so that everybody could adapt and apppreciate linux just as they do at Windows.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Followed by Ms. Fudolig’s talk was Prof. Rommel Feria’s talk about the<br />
future of operating systems such as Linux, Mac, Windows, Solaris, etc.<br />
The talk was somehow an almost reply to Ms. Fudolig’s discussion on<br />
Linux.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Mr. Winston Damarillo, Managing Director of Global<br />
Gateway Ventures, talked about software as service (or SaaS), a<br />
software deployment model.  Securing venture capital funding for<br />
enterprise 2.0 startups was discussed by Atty Denny Roja, Managing<br />
Partner and General Counsel of Acuity Ventures. The last talk for the<br />
day was from Mr. Lawrence Decamora on Java Certifications.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Though it rained hard in the afternoon, the first day was still fine.<br />
Delegates interacted with the games and intermission numbers and<br />
participated well in the open forums. Till tomorrow IT enthusiasts! <img class="wp-smiley" src="http://y4it.blog.friendster.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=")" /></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday Planet Mozilla's Frédéric Wenzel posted a wallpaper picture that he says was too cool not to pass along.</p>
<blockquote><p><a href="http://www.deniscarl.com/forum/article.php?story=20080229031425765"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1535" title="Not a Firefox Logo" src="http://fredericiana.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/not-firefox.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="313" /></a><br />
<em>“Ceci n’est pas le fond d’écran officiel de Firefox / This Is Not The Official Firefox Background Picture”</em></p></blockquote>
<p>The <a href="http://www.deniscarl.com/forum/article.php?story=20080229031425765">image</a> is one of many pictures by Canadian photographer <a href="http://www.deniscarl.com/">Denis-Carl Robidoux</a> has posted to his website. The truly amazing thing is that just about every day he posts a new picture, and every single one of them are in <em>ten different sizes</em> for use as desktop wallpaper. The cost? <em>Zaro. </em></p>
<p>I've already grabbed 24 different wallpaper images, and I've only gone back ten pages of his posts. I may even try to turn one or two into Ubuntu wallpapers, but I'm definitely going to use at least one of them when I post my September desktop screenshot to the Ubuntu Forums. You can subscribe to an RSS feed thanks to his <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/meantux/">Flickr page</a>. He says he will make a link to his feeds easier to get to on his site itself, but it will take him a few days to make the change to his site software.</p>

<p>Como pyme, además basada en código abierto, miro a las grandes multinacionales con recelo. Soy plenamente consciente de mis limitaciones y de su capacidad, especialmente en cuanto a innovación se refire, pero a la vez compruebo día a día que un competidor establecido, como Microsoft, dedica una gran cantidad de esfuerzos a reducir el espacio que sus adversarios (empresariales) pueden ocupar.</p>
<p>Nuestra empresa hace software turístico, es innovadora y tenemos el soporte del ParcBit (a través de Turistec, no de forma directa porque en ningún momento la hemos solicitado) y puedo garantizar que en el ámbito del alquiler de vehículos estamos como mínimo a la par que Microsoft ¿por qué cada una de nuestras empresas tiene que luchar a diario con la Administración para pedir esa colaboración completamente necesaria para el desarrollo de nuestra comunidad?¿Por qué trabajar en Microsoft, que no es mejor que hacerlo en la mayoria de las empresas locales de TIC, esta mejor visto que trabajar en ellas? Hay que reivindicar desde todos los ámbitos el esfuerzo de muchas personas por construir una sociedad del conocimiento de la que todos nos beneficiaremos. Ojalá los políticos vieran que el software libre es una apuesta para sus gobernados y que las grandes multinacionales sólo lo son para los bosillos de Gates, Ballmer, Job, Brin, Page, ...</p>
<p>Estaré encantado de ver que iniciativas como <a href="http://www.balearsinnova.net/balinnovaf4front/agenda/consulta.do?codiEsdeveniment=2188" target="_blank">esta</a> se consolidan y que los políticos apoyan a las empresas locales sacando concursos públicos en los que se obliga a que el código generado se comparta y donde las empresas locales tengan las mismas posibilidades que las foráneas.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Sedang baca buku yang sebenarnya sudah lama dibeliin Adek di Bandung, judulnya adalah &#8220;Belajar]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sedang baca buku yang sebenarnya sudah lama dibeliin Adek di Bandung, judulnya adalah "Belajar Manajemen dari Perusahaan Peranti Lunak Nirlisensi". sebuah buku yang sebenarnya isinya cukup bagus. Tapi ada yang penting yang harus Bair koreksi disini, yaitu penggunaan istilah Perangkat Lunak Nirlisensi (tidak mempunyai lisensi) oleh penulis untuk merujuk ke Free and Open Source Software (FOSS).</p>
<p>Bair benar-benar gak habis pikir kenapa penulis bisa melakukan kesalahan yang sangat fatal dan mendasar dengan menyebut FOSS dengan nirlisensi, padahal kalau baca bukunya begitu banyak mengutip referensi tentang sejarah dan filosofi FOSS ini. Dan anehnya disampulnya juga ada kutipan pujian dari seseorang yang merupakan anggota Konsorsium IGOS-SDN lagi, harusnya kan sempat dibaca oleh anggota Konsorsium IGOS-SDN ini... ck ck ck..</p>
<p>Pantas saja kalau ada orang-orang yang gak mau mengikutkan FOSS semisal Linux dalam tender-tender resmi pemerintah dengan alasan lucu bahwa "Linux gak punya lisensi", sedangkan yang berkecimpung didunia ini saja masih kepleset... Apa karena<a href="http://subair.wordpress.com/2008/05/19/free-software-yang-tidak-sama-dengan-freeware/" target="_blank"> FOSS itu source-nya boleh dipelajari, dan dikembangkan bersama bahkan ada yang bolehin perangkat lunak buatannya digunakan secara gratis tis tis</a>.. maka langsung saja kita telanjangi bahwa perangkat lunak tersebut tidak punya lisensi.</p>
<p>Hmm bahasa Inggris saya mungkin pas-pasan tapi bisa nerka-nerkalah kalau <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/License" target="_blank">license itu adalah grant permission</a> tidak selalu harus ada hubungannya dengan uang atau aturan khusus yang harus sama antara satu lisensi dengan lisensi yang lain. Mungkin untuk gambaran, pada taukan kalo orang luar ngomong SIM (Surat Ijin Mengemudi) itu adalah Driving License yang dengan sangat jelas bermaksud surat ijin untuk mengemudi. Nah aturan pengeluaran SIM di tiap negara kan beda-beda, bisa jadi di Indonesia untuk mendapat surat ijin mengemudi tersebut kita harus mengikuti aturan tertentu dan membayar sejumlah uang kepada pihak yang mengeluarkan surat ijin tersebut. Nah apakah jika ada sebuah negara mengeluarkan "driving license" tersebut, tapi karena tidak mensyaratkan orang untuk membayar, atau aturan tertentu yang sama dengan negara lainnya kita bisa bilang di negara tersebut untuk mengemudi tidak punya surat ijin (lisensi).</p>
<p>Sama seperti dalam perangkat lunak, jika saya membuat suatu perangkat lunak, dan membuat/memilih aturan ijin penggunaan (lisensi) dari perangkat lunak saya menggunakan standar free software, apakah perangkat lunak saya itu tidak mempunyai lisensi??? Bahkan kita semua tahu bahwa amat sangat banyak sekali lisensi yang digunakan dalam perangkat lunak bebas, seperti <a name="GNUGPL" href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html"><em>The GNU General Public License</em></a>, <a href="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/lesser.html"><em>The GNU Lesser General  Public License</em></a>, <a name="CryptixGeneralLicense" href="http://www.cryptix.org/docs/license.html">The Cryptix General License</a>, <a href="http://www.sleepycat.com/license.net">The Berkeley Database           License</a>, <a href="http://www.zope.org/Resources/ZPL">The Zope Public License version 2.0</a>, <a href="http://www.apache.org/LICENSE-1.0">The Apache License, Version 1.0</a>., <a name="OriginalBSD" href="http://www.xfree86.org/3.3.6/COPYRIGHT2.html#6">The original BSD license</a>., dan banyak lagi (lengkapnya bisa dilihat <a href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.id.html" target="_blank">disini</a>).</p>
<p>Terus masih pas untuk bilang FOSS nirlisensi???? Kalo alasannya adalah sulitnya mencari padanan kata yang pas untuk menaungi Free Software dan Open Source, kenapa tidak gunakan istilah FOSS, FLOSS, atau F/OSS saja yang walaupun tidak mutlak diakui akan tetapi setidaknya lebih umum dan jauh lebih aman dari kemungkinan menimbulkan persepsi keliru yang fatal.</p>
<p>Oh ya, kalau mau lebih lengkap tentang lisensi dan teman-temannya bisa baca <a href="http://romisatriawahono.net/2008/04/22/antara-haki-islam-dan-teknologi-informasi/" target="_blank">tulisan Mas Romi juga tentang ini</a>.</p>

<p>Ebbene si, Anche Google ha sfornato il suo primo browser, ancora in fase beta.</p>
<p>Esso si affianca a Firefox e tutti e 2 danno la caccia a IE per toglierlo di mezzo e dare una spinta all'open source.</p>
<p>Link To Download: <a href="http://www.google.com/chrome/index.html?hl=it&#38;brand=CHMG&#38;utm_source=it-hpp&#38;utm_medium=hpp&#38;utm_campaign=it">http://www.google.com/chrome/index.html?hl=it&#38;brand=CHMG&#38;utm_source=it-hpp&#38;utm_medium=hpp&#38;utm_campaign=it</a></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is gonna be a short post, mostly meant to revive this blog. I recently got myself a new laptop. Not a overly high powered machine, but it does what I need it to.</p>
<p>After having tried Fedora, Mint, and Debian Etch on it, I decided to go the Debian Sid route. This I accomplished using the Sidux live cd installer. Sidux offer a some things in addition to default Debian, but it's basically just an easy way to install the unstable branch of Debian.</p>
<p>Now, I must say, I am very impressed with Debian Sid. It's fast and light, and really more stable than what you would imagine.</p>
<p>My desktop computer runs Fedora 9, and that works fine, but Debian has some advantages. The repositories are HUGE, and using the unstable branch of Debian gives you some of the latest technology out there. I have got KDE 4.* running yet, and I wont rush that. KDE 3.5.* works great for now. The only thing I want to complain about is the fact that Konqueror is lacking some features to make it a great webbrowser, and <em>Yes </em>I actually use Konq as my webbrowser most of the time. It's fast as hell and it does the job most of the times.</p>
<p>So... Back to Debian Sid/Sidux. How many crashes have I had? Well.. <em>some</em>, but less than I had in Fedora/Mint/Debian Etch. X crashes a lot less frequently now, and other than that the only problem is that my laptop sometimes freezes on bootup when trying to set the system clock. No idea why, but I'll just disable that service.</p>
<p>That's all for this time I think.</p>
