Thumbs UP!If you have these sage words of advice, you probably have a stupid 10 line disclaimer about "if you're not the intended recipient, please don't read this email" nonsense too. At the end of the email. After you've read it.
Do people even realise that your little "legal" disclaimer has absolutely no power at all?
It means nothing. Email is not a legally binding medium, therefore, your email disclaimer means nothing, legally.
Hows this for a suggestion.
Don't have the stupid legal disclaimer. Don't have the stupid save the environment nonsense either. That way, when someone does need to print the email, your signature doesn't take up another page of paper all for itself.
So, lets save a tree or two. Get rid of your excessively long and pointless Email signature.
I'm not quite sure what to think of this one, so I'll let you decide for yourself.
One of the stranger music videos I've seen in a while...
GORBACHOV: THE MUSIC VIDEO - BIGGER AND RUSSIANER from Tom Stern on Vimeo.
My first instinct was to rip the too-pretty interface off, and install Debian.
Then I realised that it wasn't mine, and I'd just have to pretend to be a normal user on this one...
Here are the specs of the little beasty (from the side of the box)
Intel Atom N270 @ 1.6Ghz
8.9" CrystalBrite WSVGA
512MB DDR2 RAM
8GB Solid State Disk
Multi-in-1 Card reader (looks like SD, XD, MS, MSPro)
10/100 LAN
802.11b/g Wifi
Linux Linpus OS (based on Fedora 8)
What the hell America? Is this what you have to offer?
European Scientists are smashing atoms apart, and you guys are running around breaking into houses and slapping people with sausages.
"A burglar who broke into a home just east of Fresno rubbed food seasoning over the body of one of two men as they slept in their rooms and then used an 8-inch sausage to whack the other man on the face and head before running out of the house, Fresno County sheriff's deputies said Saturday."
And what makes it even better, is that the suspect left his wallet with ID in the victims house...
Just came across this today... Really useful, since 90% of my job requires SSHing off to remote hosts...
From drawohara:
Stick this in your ~/.bashrc
SSH_COMPLETE=( $(cat ~/.ssh/known_hosts | \
cut -f 1 -d ‘ ’ | \
sed -e s/,.*//g | \
uniq | \
egrep -v [0123456789]) )
complete -o default -W "${SSH_COMPLETE[*]}" ssh
This does a lookup for all the hosts in your ~/.ssh/known_hosts file, as a source for the autocompletion.
At 45 minutes, they stray onto the topic of Wireless User Groups.
Just a note to people who listened to it, WUGs are legal, as long as they don't provide internet access, and don't make a profit. This has been acknowledged by ICASA (not just ICASA turning a blind eye to it)
The WUG guys actually went to ICASA for a hearing, and this was the outcome.
They just looked out of place anyway.
While the guys are still working on the final of the Jawug Promo video, I thought I’d throw up one of their longer clips.
The final is likely to be very different, so this one is just another little video from them.
I’m expecting some more great videos over the next few weeks.
Keep it up Ryder!
A while back I mentioned that I was involved in the founding of Jawug, which has now grown into Wug.
Sadly, I left South Africa just before things started to get interesting.
Well, Ryder has put together a little video, with some of the choice pictures from the last few years of Jawug.
Then there's a mention from Pat that O2 in Germany have started blocking calls to Rebtel, trying very hard to stamp on competition, but only really managing to alienate their customers.
Its no wonder people are trying to find ways around O2's ridiculous rates. O2 Ireland charge €3.23 per minute for calls to South Africa. (If you can find their rates... in that maze they call a website)
No differentiation between South African mobile phones, and landlines. Just a crazy rate of €3.23
Techcrunch were lucky enough to get a behind-the-scenes visit to Microsoft to have a look at Photosynth.
I mentioned it briefly in yesterday's post
