нещо нормално

Знам, че съм наивен, обаче ми е много яко да вярвам, че егоucm вече не се продава заедно с Ритъм заради feedback-a от читателите, или поне защото някой от екипа е сметнал, че е грубо да налагаш на хората какво да купуват (още по-зле какво да четат), само защото можеш. Много ми е яко също да вярвам, че има хора в България, които знаят че не са по-големи от клиентите (читателите) си, и които показват уважение към тях.

Винаги съм смятал, че човек трябва да се отнася с толерантност и уважение към всички, пък ако ще да му се качат на главата. Явно, че след като ти се качат на главата могат и да слязат от там по свое усмотрение. Правото на избор е най-важното право, и всеки потребител трябва да може да го упражнява. Колкото и наивно да е.

making the distribution

Историята на Gentoo linux, от самия му създател Daniel Robbins. Как се ражда идеята за създаването на gentoo, пътят на развитие на проекта (минал през междинната с-ма Enoch), предизвикателствата и решенията в процеса на разработка на една open-source система.

„…

I quickly saw that writing simple scripts for the kind of automation I needed wasn’t going to be enough. I needed to design a complete system for generating a Linux distribution from scratch. I tentatively called it the ebuild system and got to work. The ebuild system would be able to automatically create all the distribution binaries, automating everything from unpacking and patching the sources to compilation, installation and packaging. After getting a basic ebuild prototype working, I started creating ebuild scripts for the key components of a Linux distribution (like gcc, glibc, binutils, util-linux, and friends). My Stampede development box was gradually turning into my own system, as I redesigned the initialization scripts (basing them on the Stampede initialization scripts that I had previously designed) and testing and installing every new package that I created.

A few months later I had a complete, self-hosted Linux distribution. I named it Enoch and sat back and smiled contentedly. But what became of Enoch, and how did Gentoo Linux evolve? Join me in my next article as I tell the story of how Enoch became Gentoo Linux, and the many new challenges I faced along the way.

aggression 4 the masses

I can tell you one certain thing about aggression. Aggression is the one thing that the modern man is in greatest need of. In a time when TV broadcasting merely sells consumer products instead of suggesting and conflicting ideas; when political entities are more concerned with satisfying the demands of business lobby groups instead of modeling conditions for the concurrent development of businesses; when the majority of people are being afraid and cautionary, instead of being initiative, aggression is what we all need.

Our time is the time of “100% satisfaction guarantee”; the time of shopping by the catalogue; the time of online flirting with success being presumably guaranteed. And for the truly modern ones – Чети по-нататък ( 3 мин)

Microsoft – Realising potential

Малко ми е „сектантско“, но ето едно мемо(от InternalMemos) от Стив Балмър адресирано до простосмъртните от Мicrosoft, датиращо от 2002г. Ако някой иска, може да преброи колко пъти се споменава фразата „our mission“;-)

Full Text of Ballmer Memo
From: Steve Ballmer
Sent: Thursday, June 06, 2002 1:47 PM
To: Microsoft and Subsidiaries: All FTE
Subject: Realizing Potential

The executive staff recently spent several days at a retreat where we had some breakthrough discussions about the company’s mission and what we value. We developed a strong consensus about our mission going forward and the values that are its foundation. Simply put, our mission is to enable people and businesses throughout the world to realize their full potential. Today, we use software to help people get there. Over time, this will evolve to be a combination of software and software services. But our mission is not just about building great technology. It’s also about who we are as a company and as individuals, how we manage our business internally, and how we think about and work with partners and customers.

As an industry leader, we have a unique role in the world ‘ unique in the contribution we make and the responsibility that comes with that. Customers expect us to hit a very high bar in terms of product and support quality, delivering on our commitments, and providing excellent customer-focused decision making. Our industry wants us to be more actively engaged and open about who we are, and about our roadmap for the future. Our pending settlement with the DOJ adds new responsibilities that we must deliver on. We are committed to working with the DOJ and other government agencies to ensure the settlement is a success and that our relationship is positive and constructive going forward.

She puts her lover in the closet,not realizing that the little boy is in there already. The little boy says, „Dark in here.“ The man says, „Yes, it is.“ Boy- „I have a baseball.“ Man – „That’s nice.“ Boy – „Want to buy it?“ Man – „No, thanks.“ Boy – „My dad’s outside.“ Man – „OK, how much?“ Boy – „$250“ In the next few weeks, it happens again that the boy and the lover are in the closet together. Boy – „Dark in here.“ Man – „Yes, it is.“ Boy – „I have a baseball glove.“ The lover, remembering the last time, asks the boy, „How much?“ Boy -„$750 Man – „Fine.“
