I agree. The media will continue to refer to 'crackers' as 'hackers'. That's the language their readers understand. Then more people will start (mis)calling crackers as hackers. It's a cumulative effect. <flame-proof> I understand a hacker's sentiments about this, but wouldn't it be easier for hackers to call themselves something else? </flame-proof> Warm Regards, Nikhil. _________________________________________________________ There is always a better job for you at Monsterindia.com.

Userfriendly
by Suhit Kelkar 12 Jul '02

12 Jul '02

I agree with Mr Pathak. We use Windows as the frame of reference as to userfriendliness. _But_ forcing customers to upgrade to newer versions of office suites by making newer versions incompatible with older ones is not userfriendliness. Setting standards and then exploiting them is not userfriendliness either. Stifling competitors by withholding technologies from the market restricts your choice and is most unfriendly. I started off with Windows. Suhit Kelkar -- Get your free email from www.linuxmail.org Powered by Outblaze

Mozilla tweaks, anyone?
by Tahir Hashmi 11 Jul '02

11 Jul '02

Hi folks! Could anyone give me some tips on how to tweak mozilla to respond faster? Since I have lots of RAM, I'm ok if some processes stay in the background eating up memory. Galeon has this nice option of starting it in 'server mode' that can be started up at login but it's pretty light-weight so it doesn't make much of a difference. Is there something in mozilla like this? Atleast mozilla --help didn't show it. TIA -- Tahir Hashmi (VSE, NCST) http://staff.ncst.ernet.in/tahir tahir AT ncst DOT ernet DOT in We, the rest of humanity, wish GNU luck and Godspeed

Linux in Marathi
by jitendra 11 Jul '02

11 Jul '02

If any ILUG-BOM members are interested , they may join a meeting on Saturday at IIT where some are meeting. This is in response to an appeal made in ArthVrittant article on Stallman, by Anil Shaligram on 18 March issue of Loksatta. Some of the ideas that came up while thinking about Marathi Linux There are 3 levels of work in Marathi-isation 1> Applications like office software: Free softwares like a>StarOffice , which are quite a good substitute for MS-Office and available in Linux : b> GIS softwares like GRASS or MYWorld useful for urgent problms like water and environment c> educational softwares Like LOGO, STARLOGO, Model-It, Worldwatcher, DrGenius We need to translate the labels and messages and documentations and tutorials, multi-lingual CDs with multimedia. 2>Creating application in Marathi: Using gtk, glade emacs etc. 3> Working at the OS level : Creating labels/message table in marathi. NCST has already done a large part for Hindi, some in Marathi too. We also need to create mass awereness thru newspaper article in all the press. We should ask our local cybercafe to have marathi software loaded. AKRUTI have agrred to support anyone helping. Similarly other Marathi and Indian language developers can be asked to make offers. This would make the idea of working in Indian language a day-to-day affair without too much cost. jitendra For details contact jitendras(a)vsnl.com
