[OT] You are being watched.

Hello All, There is an article in BBC http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/click_online/6972079.stm about how search engines record details of users' search patterns. I am curious to know, how do search engines get user details when a person uses the search facility. Normally only the IP address of the computer is available and that too changes dynamically. So except for city location of the computer, how do they know the user details? Rony. Knock Knock Who's There? Linux Who Linux? GNU/Linux

Fwd: [foss.in] FOSS.IN/2007 Project Days sessions
by Pradeepto Bhattacharya 05 Sep '07

05 Sep '07

Hi, A heads up ... ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Atul Chitnis <listadmin(a)linux-bangalore.org> Date: Sep 5, 2007 10:42 AM Subject: [foss.in] FOSS.IN/2007 Project Days sessions To: "FOSS.IN" <foss-in(a)yahoogroups.com> All: Here are the selected Project Days sessions, in alphabetical order: * Debian/Ubuntu * Fedora * Gnome * IndLinux * KDE * Mozilla * OpenOffice.org * OpenSolaris These eight Project Days sessions will be part of the CfP that will be published next week, and people will be able to submit talk proposals for each of them (and the Main conference, of course). Congrats to the eight projects, and my sympathies as well - having been selected, you now carry the burden of ensuring that you produce many Indian contributors. That means that your sessions have to be structured in such a way that it is easy for people to get in at the ground floor and the take the elevator up :) A reminder as well: if you are unable to get credible subsessions (talks and workshops) together through the CfP, you *may* face dropping. The same applies to the nature of the subsessions - if they are not contributor oriented (just user oriented) or if we find that the majority of subsessions are by people from a single commercial organisation, we will reconsider your selection. Remember that to us, the usefulness to the audiences (to bootstrap them into becoming contributors) and the quality of the subsessions comes first. So make sure that you get it right, in line with your accepted PD proposal. That completes phase 1 of the process - next is the Call for Participation, that will go out next week, after Team FOSS.IN meets this Sunday. Cheerio! Atul -- F O S S .

OOXML failed to get approval of ISO/IEC
by Praveen A 04 Sep '07

04 Sep '07

Great News! Hats off to all who worked hard for this. "The five-month ballot process ended on 2 September and was open to the IEC and ISO national member bodies from 104 countries, including 41 that are participating members of the joint ISO/IEC technical committee, JTC 1, Information technology. Approval requires at least 2/3 (i.e. 66.66 %) of the votes cast by national bodies participating in ISO/IEC JTC 1 to be positive; and no more than 1/4 (i.e. 25 %) of the total number of national body votes cast negative. Neither of these criteria were achieved, with 53 % of votes cast by national bodies participating in ISO/IEC JTC 1 being positive and 26 % of national votes cast being negative." http://www.iso.org/iso/pressrelease.htm?refid=Ref1070 Cheers Praveen -- പ്രവീണ് അരിമ്പ്രത്തൊടിയില് Join The DRM Elimination Crew Now! http://fci.wikia.com/wiki/Anti-DRM-Campaign

Get a black screen when logoff in Debian Etch..also get the same black screen when i do Ctrl+alt+f1...
by Raza Sayed 04 Sep '07

04 Sep '07

Hello, I recently installed Debian Etch as a dual boot on my laptop . I am having an issue with logging off . Also ctrl+alt+f1 does not bring me to the shell . All I get is a black screen in both the cases and i have to manually shutdown my laptop and reboot. I am however able to shutdown and restart from within gnome.I am new to linux so cant figure out whats wrong. I tried to find out what onboard video card im using from within windows by right clicking on the desktop then going to : display properties->settings->advanced->adapter and there it says : VIA Chrome9 HC IGP. I have already tried the following troubleshooting steps but it didnt work : Already tried steps : --------------------- 1) Tried ctrl+alt+f5 , ctrl+alt+f7 , ctrl+alt+backspace but get the same black screen and have to manually shutdown and reboot. 2) Added vga=771 at the end of the kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst . Also tried vga=773,vga=791 3) Ran the command su cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep "Driver" to get information on driver and the output of the above command is : Driver "kbd" Driver "mouse" Driver "vesa" What could be going wrong ? Please help. Thanks :) ____________________________________________________________________________________ Boardwalk for $500? In 2007? Ha!

Best Desktop Linux distro.
by Raza Sayed 03 Sep '07

03 Sep '07

Hi, Myself Raza.Z.Sayed , from Mumbai. I have recently joined iglug-bom . Well, im kinda new to linux , but ive been using linux for quite some time now as a casual user . Im a student and I find linux more attractive as compared to proprietary OS, not only because it has matured enough to give proprietary software some decent competition but what appeals to me most as a student is that linux being free and open source offers a lot of room for learning and experimentation , which is seriously lacking in a proprietary os like windows. So,ive decided to switch over completely to free and open source software now and plan to use Linux as the primary OS I use on my machine. My machine has 512 MB of RAM and 1.46 GHz processor. So,i need your suggestion as to which distro would be the best desktop os for me,in terms of atleast the following factors. 1. Support for wireless connectivity, as i need to be able to use WiFi. 2. Support for Bluetooth . 3. Support for ADSL connections , i use MTNL Triband on my machine 4. Good choice of software and wide support for the same available. One of my friends would be giving me a copy of Debian Etch . Would that be good enough ?. Thanks :) --------------------------------- Building a website is a piece of cake. Yahoo!
