Grand Prix of Monaco, May 2013

May 17, 2013 by rwl · Leave a comment

The Circuit de Monaco runs through the streets of Monte Carlo and La Condamine, around Monaco harbour. The first Monaco Grand Prix was organised by Anthony Noghs in 1929, and is considered to be one of the most prestigious automobile races on the planet.

The first Grand Prix of Monaco was won by William Grover-Williams, then followed by others great names like Schumacher, Senna, Prost, Fangio, Graham Hill.

It’s the slowest and the toughest of the World Formula 1 Championship.

The Grand Prix of Monaco is a great mythological race that all of the pilots dream to win on the racetrack of the Principality.

The circuit’s elevations shifts, tight corners and a narrow course make it one of the trickiest in Formula One. It features both the slowest corner in the sport – the Grand Hotel hairpin, taken at just 50kph (31mph) and one of the quickest (the flat out kink in the tunnel, three turns beyond the hairpin, taken at 260kph (160mph).

Coming to the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Monaco is one moment unforgettable that you must prepare and expect.

Today the Grand Prix of Monaco is globally known even by the least excited of motor sport and after modification on the initial track (turn Sainte – Devote, the turn of the restaurant La Rascasse), the circuit measures currently 3, 367 km. Due to its length the Grand Prix is limited to 78 turns.

It really is in 1929, on April 14th at 13:30, under the honorary Presidency of S.A.S. the Prince Louis II that the Grand Prix of Monaco was born thanks in particular to President Anthony Noghes who showed a powerful will in order to be able to organize in the smallest European state (after the Vatican) an occasion of this scale. His idea strongly supported by the Prince Louis II could possibly be concretized thanks to its support and motivation of the famed pilot Monegasque, Louis Chiron.

Because even a small mistake in the streets of-the principality is critical to win in Monaco is hard.

While overtaking is notoriously difficult, the circuit’s twists and turns favour the ability of the driver over the strength of the cars.

In 2012 Mark Webber made it three victories in a row for Red Bull Racing.

Linux Recovery: Linux Based Tools to Recover Systems

May 16, 2013 by rwl · Leave a comment

Your computer system is likely to fail in the future, no matter how hard you keep it well tuned, it’s either going to fail or have some computer bugs. The only thing you can do is to prepare yourself for anything to happen, and just the reason why there are a lot of programs to recover corrupted or deleted information. Just like memory cards, there are camera card recovery methods and recovery software, the problem now is which ones are the best to use. Here are some examples that are Linux-based and are capable of restoring corrupted data in Mac, Windows or Linux operating systems:

Samples of Linux-based software

  • Linux rescue mode – let us first introduce the technician-like tool. This tool is not installable and would be necessarily used in the case of a total system failure, which means if your operating system has been fully corrupted. It requires a Linux boot CD which is simply inserted and then the computer is turned on, the CD does almost everything necessary and you can do almost anything, from recovering passwords on locked systems, repair and re-install any damaged driver or boot loader.
  • Avira AntiVir – you might think that this will just scan and do things most anti-virus would do, but that is not all. There are two types of Avira AntiVir, you have the one that is just the anti-virus and has the colourful simple interface that can be used by an average person, and the other which is controlled by a command-line interface. The one which requires some knowledge to be used can recover corrupted data.
  • Trinity Rescue Kit – why settle for a one-man army if you can have a whole battalion. As the name suggests, this is basically a kit filled with a number of anti-virus. Place it in you drive and boot the system, you can now fix all corrupted data with the use of this software and it is basically all command line.
  • Ubuntu Rescue Remix – simply installable and does what is expected from it. Can basically recover anything from data to large files in any location, from stand to non-standard drives; recover deleted files from CD’s to internal storage. This in the other hand is not anti-virus, so if you are sure that the computer malfunction is caused by a damaging virus, then might as well consider another software.
  • Safecopy – this is more likely to be used in assessing external media devices that have been corrupted. Remember that time that you got your memory card damaged and still got some important stuff in it? This can be used, it allows you to copy data from a damaged or suffering disk source and can do benchmarking on how severe the corrupted media is and much more.

So make sure to install your computers or devices with these valuable software to avoid the hassle of corrupted files or viruses.

When your computer is connected to the internet, it will require steps and precautions to reduce the exposure to hackers’ threats. Web, mail and DNS servers are especially vulnerable. The Linux server must be configured for network security. If your computer is exposed to threats, how much more is your home from thieves, rapists and unwelcomed people? You need a home security system to avoid this scenario. You can look for a home security company to avail the security system.

For your Linux, the following tutorial can be used to monitor and counteract hacker threats.

Perform the following steps to secure your computer:

  • Update you system regularly. This can be automated using the/init.d/yum-updatesd service (RHEL/CentOS 5)
  • Reduce the number of network services exposed. At the very least, one should run the command (shkconfig –list) to see what processes are configured to be operable after boot-up.
  • Verify your configuration. List the open ports and processes which hold them.
  • List RPC services. Ideally, you would not be running portmapper so no RPC services would be available. Turn off portmapper and remove it from the system boot sequence.
  • Set Anonymous FTP, by default. Red Hat comes configured for anonymous FTP. This allows users to ftp to your server and log in with the login anonymous and use an email address as the password. If you wish to turn off this feature edit the file (etc/ftpacces} and change.
  • Use the find command to locate vulnerabilities. Find suid and guid files as well as world writable files and directories.
  • Use the command chattr and Isattr to make a sensitive security file “unmodifiable” over and above the usual permissions.
  • Use “tripwire” for security monitoring of your system for signs of unauthorized file changes. Tripwire is offered as part of the base Red Hat and Ubuntu distributions. Tripwire configuration is covered below.
  • Watch your log file especially /var/log/messages and /var/log/secure.
  • Avoid generic account names such as guest.

Writing for Linux

March 5, 2013 by rwl · Leave a comment

Writing history really engrosses a lot effort and research since the writer has to be careful in every detail. One cannot afford to commit mistakes especially if the subject seems so interesting.

It was a personal project in 1991 by a Finnish student, Linus Torvalds that created a free operating system kernel. Yes, it only started as project that then featured in his book, Just for Fun. As the thought that he was able to come up with a free operating system had already sink in, he then announced it by posting in Usenet. Linux kernel was first published by Torvalds under his own license for personal use and restricting ay commercial activities. Too bad, kernel was found to be not reliable, since at that time it doesn’t have shell, compilers and library. That’s why in 1992, Torvalds then decided to work with GNU. Linux and GNU developers worked together to merge GNU components with Linux to develop a fully functional and operating system that is free.

Linux history can really be very controversial that’s why writing for Linux account really needs a comprehensive account like essay writing. It should be from someone that’s been taught by the professionals in writing.

Aside from that, it also uses Kernel level technology for resource limits purposes. With this, you can guarantee that a tenant can never use some other resources that are set for them.

Indeed, if you don’t want to experience a server that goes down because of unavailability of resource spikes, then why don’t you try CloudLinux OS and experience a solid and stable web host now.

What Programmers Do After Work: Loved Football Teams

February 5, 2013 by rwl · 4 Comments

The Dallas Cowboys is a National Football League team that is base on Irving, Texas. The team had been established in 1960, and really makes good games to have best record of consecutive home sell-outs. Even in the early days of the team on the league, they were able to make an edge over the other team that’s why they were able to capture the interest of a lot of football fanatics.

For always having the lead over the other teams of each state, Dallas Cowboys anti-fans used to be carried away by their emotions on every game played by the Cowboys and their favorite team. They hate the Cowboys; thus, with their sentiment they really become rude that they were amused whenever an injury happened to any member of the team. They don’t care if it is serious or not. Because of their extreme dislike, they can’t realize that having a bad fall can sometimes be fatal that badly needs a health specialists. Anyway, may you be a follower or anti-fan; in times of serious accidents you should search for online doctor and ask him. For this reason, you can have the idea on how they will handle the patient’s treatment or surgery. Anti-fan would surely become more interested on what’s been up with the person or team member they hate.

Being an anti-fan of Dallas Cowboys can really go through the extreme with their anger. Aside from cursing them to death, they really show their sentiments by visibly making direct disrespect on everything Dallas Cowboys have; they purposely make pee on the team’s logo, burning of Cowboys’ belongings and stomping on cars and stuffs of the team members.

Universities in Australia now offer courses that give their students vast knowledge on design, principle, and the skills in programming that will be needed in creating software including games.

To be effective with Game Technology course, students also enroll with other course such as Computer Science, Internet Working and Security, Internet Software Development and Games Software design and Production. As this also needs to be link with other courses, students must really be aware of the time, effort, and finances required. That’s why a lot of people who really have this inclination sometimes consider the idea of getting into cash advance payday loans offered just to convene every demand of this course.

But in spite of the demands, this can also be fulfilling and can really assure that what the students paid matched up with the knowledge and skills that they have learned. As Game Technology course associates with any of these courses, students can greatly explore a thorough study program on games theory, programming and design, graphic techniques especially on virtual environments, and internet games programming. With this course, there’s no doubt that one’s simple passion can really turn into a promising career.

Linux in PS3 Sony Playstation

January 5, 2008 by rwl · Leave a comment

People usually use the console fto play games, but the PS3 console can offer much more. If you install Linux on PS3 you will be able to use your PS3 console also as another computer.

To conclude the Linux installation is still possible, but you should be aware that you will not be able to use some other PS3 features.

However we must mention one problem. In March Sony disabled the “Other Os” feature with the new firmware v3.21. The update is not mandatory, but customers who decide not to install it, would be cut off from a number of other features such as signing in to PlayStation Network.

A class action suit was filed on April against Sony for the “intentional disablement of the valuable functionality originally advertised as available”

The Sony PS3 is sold as console for gaming, but the Sony PlayStation 3 actually is also a powerful PC which allows to install an alternative Operating System such as Linux..

There are many benefits that can be achieved by installing Linux on a PS3 such as:

  • Web-Browsing will be faster. Linux based browsers ares by far better than the native PS3 web-browser. You will be able to browse the Internet for cable service in my area in a much more efficient and faster way.
  • You can use various protocols which are not supported on PS3. The PS3 Operating System allows you to read and recognize just a few protocols. If you install Linux your machine will be able to recognize and read many new data formats such as WMV, Quicktime and many other ones.
  • Many Additional Applications on PS3. The installation of Linux on your PS3 will give you the ability to install and use any Linux compatible application. If you install a Windows emulator on Linux you will be able to add also Windows applications,
  • Word Processing. Linux will give you the ability to do your word processing and to print directly from your PS3. You will be able to install and use word processors such Open Office, and many other ones. If you connect your printer to the PS3, you will be able to use it to print out files and pictures.

An easy way to install Linux on the PS3 is to first install a program that will eventually install Linux. One of the best examples is PS3 Magic that will guide you step by step until Linux is fully installed.

The installation of Linux on PS3 will allow you to use Dual-Boot and to choose which Operating System you want to run at start-up. You will be able to use Linux for your daily computing activities and the PS3 factory Operating System for gaming.

Many are worried that the installation of Linux might make the PS3 warranty invalid, but it has been found that the Linux installation on your PS3 will not void you warranty at all since the installation of another

Operating System on a PS3 is not considered a risky activity.

After reading the above benefits of installing Linux on PS3 take into consideration that Sony constructed the PS3 with 8 CPU cores and this makes the PS3 a multi-functional supercomputer.Even the US Army has recently decided to buy more than 100 PS3 for building a super computer, The Installation of Linux on it will allow you to make full use of this possibility.

Another product, called LinuxforPS3Instoller, is an eBook which can be downloaded and contains instructions on how to install Linux on PS3 safely.

Once installed the PS3 Magic gives you the options to install:

  • Linux.
  • Mac.
  • Windows XP / Vista / 7.

The program can be installed on the PS3 by either burning a CD with the downloaded PS3 Magic file or by using a USB memory stick.

Featuring Linux for Home Users

May 1, 2005 by rwl · Leave a comment

Linux is growing steadily year after year. With a passionate community backing it, with big companies Like IBM and HP pledging their support for it, it’s no wonder Linux- the wonder operating system for servers of the past, has also made it to the desktops of today.

It’s a free operating system available to download but you have to pay a tiny bit to mail order it or buy it from a company. Linux came into being about 11 years ago- it was developed by Linux Tornados of Finland along with a group of programmers from the open source software movement.

Linux hands in decreasing PC prices.

Linux is based on the commercial OS, UNIX. All the operating systems try to pack in command line management of systems. System administrators of companies use command lines all the times as their lifeline, but it’s not really meant for regulars users.

The PCs bundle the operating system. Linux being a free open source operating system means that the code that runs is open for everyone to see, work with, modify and develop their own innovative applications for it. But this is nothing compared to the money people spend on Operating Systems like windows. And a company bundles Linux and applications based on it with a computer, quite a bit of the PC cost comes down. Presently some branded PC’s coming with Linux are available for US$ 1,000 onwards.

Linux has a better security support for multi-users, lets you set up a stable server, internet gateways etc, and still lets it-self to be used as a desktop workstation. There are no blue screens and no viruses to speak of. It is rarely attacked by any viruses and there are very less number of viruses written for Linux. It can be given 10+ points on a 10 point scale for security.

Linux users won’t even bat an eyelid before they say an emphasis comes from a deep dislike of Microsoft’s practice of changing the earth for software. But a lot of it comes from the fact they are ready to swear upon-that Linux is more stable. According to a latest survey Web Hosts are using Linux Based Servers for hosting purposes.

One note here though: the free in Linux stands for freedom of choice, to redistribute, to install a feature, freedom to modify the source code. That’s the spirit of Linux being free.

Linux is hard to install, isn’t it? Not really. Most people haven’t ever installed Windows on their computers either-since it comes preloaded. Linux is as easy-some say easier-to install compared to Windows. You can install it through a graphical user interface like Windows. These days Linux Versions are easier to install than Windows. But what really stumps most people in installing Linux on a second partition on their hard disk, when they want to be able to use both operating systems.

Linux has a robust character-cell interface where commands need to be typed in. x Windows is a free program that runs with Linux to provide a GUI where the mouse and keyboard can be used extensively. But the X system itself is quite primitive and needs a window manager, or a desktop environment- like GNOME or KDE- to be really usable. Window managers are programs that let you interact with the underlying X system and Linux OS by relaying commands. The popular window managers are Sawfish, Enlightenment, Black box, after step and Window maker.

A partition is a way of organizing space on your hard disk by creating virtual sections that are separate from each other. Most computers that are running Windows or MS DOS have one large chunk of space holding the OS. This space is the C drive. If you have a large hard disk, it’s likely that it has been divided up into smaller bits called partitions to help you organize your data better. These partitions are usually called D:, E: etc. you could have Linux on any of these.

Linux has come a long way from being the system of brilliant computer users. It has extremely advanced X Windows systems that have a complete graphical user interface-you know, like Windows. It also has a large number of window manager that let you work with different levels of customization of your desktop.

PC prices are already on their way down. And you get more choice with operating systems and applications. From being an OS only computer professionals had heard about, Linux, in a short time, has made a transition into the lucrative and high profile home PC segment.

Windows 98 creates a file system called FAT32 on the entire hard disk, DOS and Win95 use FAT16. Linux has many file systems-on the most popular is ext3. But you could have Linux installed on Fat32 partitions also.

As for desktop managers, they have their own window manager and other tools that make you feel that you are working in Window! GNOME and KDE are the most popular of these. GNOME stands for GNU Network Model Environment and KDE for K desktop repair credit Environment. They have tools that allow drag and drop, have panels and taskbar- almost like clones of windows.

As for software, there’s plenty. And most of it comes free-free for you to use, modify and configure according to your needs. Almost all excellent software for Linux is free and you don’t lose anything by giving it a try. You get free support on the Net quickly on any query you may have. And you don’t even have to wipe out your Windows. Just get Linux on a different hard disk partition and free to switch between them as you please.

If there are so many people working on it. There’s likely to be many Linux versions too. Many companies working on Linux have come up with what are called Linux distributions. There are Linux versions that are compiled and packaged and released with additional software.

  • RedHat: Probably the most popular and in many ways the leading version. It’s currently in version 9. The installation and configuration is easy. A blue curve file manager and the default GNOME desktop make it look simply stunning. It comes with a host of tools that allow usage as a server and as a workstation. The Red Hat Package Manger(RPM) format developed by Red Hat has almost become the defector for software distribution in Linux world. Installing new software is a breeze. It also has an advanced and easy font management system that makes fonts in X Windows look cool.
  • Mandrake: Mandrake Linux is now in its 10 version. It can be installed on a native Windows Partition using the Lin4Win tool, but this may slow the machine down. It also lets you do a traditional Linux install into its own dedicated partition. Mandrake’s configuration and software installation is painless. It follows a slightly modified RPM architecture called mdk.rpm but most Red Hat software can also be used for Mandrake. The outstanding feature in this version is the collection of window managers-eye-candy freaks will have a great time.
  • SUSE: From Germany comes the Chameleon, SUSE. Now in its 8.x avatar, it has one of the most extensive software packages compiled, and getting them installed is easy with yast (Yet another Software Tool) which gives a centralized interface from where you can pick and choose the software to be installed. Among other things, SUSE comes with some stunning 3D games that showcase Linux gamming prowess
  • Corel/Xandross: Corel entered the Linux market with Corel Linux a few years ago. Now it has merged into Xandross OS, which is based on Corel Linux. This is a Debian-type version, and can be installed without much fuss after resizing the Windows partition. Xandross contains Crossover office, which is a refined retail version of WINE that lets you install and run many Microsoft apps.

Other packages are commercial and you have to buy the software-but this is mostly for the software and training you need, and not for the software itself. Sometimes, if you have the Windows version (as a doom) you can download a small program that will allow you to play the game in Linux. The games in Linux are of very high quality and features. You’ll enjoy them. Here what’s available?

  • Games: FreeCiv, Tux racer, Doom, Quake, Heretic, Unreal And the list is growing.
  • Graphics: GIMP, Corel Photo paint
  • Office suites: Star Office, Open Office, Applixware, Corel WordPerfect
  • Video: MTV, Xine
  • Music: XMMS, Free amp, Real Player

Tips for Home Users:

  • You don’t have to be a great computer user to work with Linux. There are Desktop environments that let you work in Linux as you work in Windows. As you work with windows, same is the case with Linux.
  • It is suggested that new PC buyers should get both operating systems installed and should use them equally. If you’re getting Linux for more than 2-3 PCs, you can also get training and support at a small free, if you choose to have it. Else it’s the Linux community on the Net to your rescue.
  • If you want to get comfortable with Linux, you don’t have to let go of windows. Get Linux installed on a separate partition and you can switch between Windows and Linux. For new users who don’t have any computer background learning windows or Linux both takes same time and sitting.

Some applications have been ported over to Linux, other run with a program called WINE (Wine is Not an Emulator). Crossover, commercially available software also lets you use your Windows programs on Linux. VMWare is another program that lets you run Windows under Linux. Now many software companies have started developing high end software for Linux.

Well, most new distributions will detect and configure your hardware in a jiffy, unless you have some really old or exotic piece of hardware. All hardware are properly detected and their drivers installed. Only Win modems (internal modems driven by Window drivers) face problems.

The cool thing about Linux is that most software is free, and you can legitimately use them without worrying about piracy. If you’re worried that Linux won’t look as pretty as windows can, all you have to do is check out some of the cool Linux interfaces and Window managers. But you don’t find a lot of multimedia titles for Linux. And if you’re into a lot of these, Windows is in the way to go. So if you have a PC that runs both, you can easily switch between the two, and get the best of both worlds.
