I'm pretty sure there is a growing Free & Open Source Software ( FOSS )  community in Malaysia, hiding somewhere.Well this dude in the video, is working for the opposition party in Malaysia.

We hear words like trillions, foreclosure, lehmann brothers, petro-dollar, but how deep is our understanding of the current economic situation in the US ?The root of the US failing economy is debt(s).

Malaysia may ban yoga for Muslims : clericWhat is the limitation of stupidity can a cleric be? What is the stick yard of their common sense ? Are they dumb fucks?From whom do they get the authority to create a fatwa? From the government? Is this some kind of a sick joke?I have always think these "holy men" are the ones who strayed from the original teaching of Islam.

This tutorial is for Mac OS X users.When you ssh from Mac OS X to any Linux machine, highly likely you will have a problem, where once you are inside Linux machine, your "delete" key will not work properly. It will not behave like a "backspace" on non-Apple keyboards.To solve this, copy a file in /usr/share/terminfo/78/xterm-color which is on your Mac OS X machine to /home/$username/.terminfo/x/

This tutorial is for Mac OS X users. You see, whenever you use a program such as iChat, iTunes or what ever program that runs on Mac OS X, most likely, that binary program has been compiled for more than one architecture. This is what we call "fat binaries".Let's take Time Machine as our example. How do we "visualize" a fat binary program? Here's the command lines and the screenshots :-cd /

Why would we want to use proxy for browsing the internet?Well, first of all, proxy enable us to bypass restrictions on the firewall. Say, your office block websites that you'd like to surf, you can bypass that with proxy!Secondly, proxy makes you an anonymous user.
