Linux desktop: Not pining for the fjords

  • Larry the Free Software Guy; By Larry Cafiero (Posted by lcafiero on Sep 21, 2011 5:06 AM EDT)
  • Story Type: Editorial
The advent of radio didn't mean the death of live theater, as conventional wisdom at the time predicted. Televisions in every household didn't exactly ring a death knell for movie theaters, despite pundits' predictions. So Larry the Free Software Guy points out to those risking injury jumping on the Linux-desktop-is-dead bandwagon that you're on the wrong side of history.

Why some Windows 8 machines might not be able to boot Linux

The UEFI secure boot protocol is part of recent UEFI specification releases. It permits one or more signing keys to be installed into a system firmware. Once enabled, secure boot prevents executables or drivers from being loaded unless they're signed by one of these keys. Another set of keys (Pkek) permits communication between an OS and the firmware. An OS with a Pkek matching that installed in the firmware may add additional keys to the whitelist. Alternatively, it may add keys to a blacklist. Binaries signed with a blacklisted key will not load.

The importance of donating to open source projects

  • Techrepublic; By Jack Wallen (Posted by Jeff91 on Sep 21, 2011 12:50 AM EDT)
  • Story Type: Editorial
Those of us who enjoy open source software often forget that the vast majority of open source developers do this on their own time and their own dime. For some that’s not a problem … a precious few some. For many these projects are headed up by younger developers, students, and people in less fortunate situations (for whatever reason). So every five dollar donation can go a long way to keeping a project running.

Easily remove unused MySQL databases

I use PHPUnit and the DbUnit extension for my unit tests. Because I use InnoDB tables with foreign keys I cannot use an SQLite database or temporary tables to run my unittests on. So, I have set up a separate MySQL server to run all my unittests on. The only downside is that after a while, you get a bunch of unused databases on the server. So, I have written a simple bash cronjob that deletes all databases from the server that have not been used for some time.

You can’t go Gnome again

  • Manila Standard Today; By Chin Wong (Posted by Jeff91 on Sep 20, 2011 4:32 PM EDT)
  • Story Type: Editorial
AS a user of Ubuntu Linux since 1996, I viewed with some trepidation the decision by its commercial sponsor, Canonical, to revamp its user interface, which was based on the Gnome desktop. Over the years, I’ve grown accustomed to Gnome’s simple elegance, which I found gave me a surprising amount of freedom to customize my desktop environment. Combined with special effects from programs such as Compiz and Emerald, my Gnome-based Ubuntu desktop was truly beautiful.

In fact, in an article published yesterday on 24/7 Wall Street, tech firms represent six out of the eight major companies listed as being in troubled financial waters.
