One of those couples (window manager + desktop environment) is GNOME, the one I am throwing flames today. Hehe. Although it shares some of the ideas of the Macintosh User (Usabilitiy) Guidelines, it is not a clone of it, neither it has the power the mac UI has. Yes, as one of the guidelines says, Usability is essential, and yes, it is simple to use and understand. So simple, that is is impossible to do many things with it. Note that I left out the word "advanced". Ordering the windows can become a problem if you don't install some extra software. Yes. I know that customizing the window behaviour is not a DM's work, but the doctor told me not to use the mouse that much! I need keyboard shorcuts to move the windows around, to open applications, to handle devices. If it is about usability, seems that the concept could have multiple definitions, if you consider the experience and capabilities of the user, and not the designer whishes.Friday, 12.

make mrproper(for cleanup),
make cloneconfig(for cloning the kernel and configuring it to the current version) and
make modules_prepare(well... it's self explanatory)
rpm -ivh PACKAGEwhere the package here it's, of course, the vmware file.
ldconfig; SuSEconfigsequence, just to see how happily my PC works
tar -xz -f vmware-any-any-update.tar.gzwill do the work. Changing to the vmware-any-any-update directory (I wonder... that any-any name), and executing
./runme.plwill do the rest, even call vmware-config.pl for me. When this is done, answering a few questions it's all it's needed for completing the procedure. The default options are fine for my SuSE 10.1 so if any compilation error occurs, be sure to check this and the vmware-any-any-update version.
mount -t usbfs /dev/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb
)make mrproper(para limpiar, o eso me dijeron),
make cloneconfig(para clonar el kernel, configurándolo a la versión correcta) y
make modules_prepare(para preparar en sí la utilización de los módulos)
rpm -ivh PACKAGEdonde PACKAGE es obviamente el archivo del VMware.
ldconfig; SuSEconfig. En teoría eso actualiza las variables del sistema, entre otras cosas.
tar -xz -f vmware-any-any-update.tar.gzhace todo el trabajo. El resto se hace cambiando al directorio creado por tar para vmware y ejecutando
./runme.pl. Esto inclusive llama vmware-config.pl por mi. Cuando todo haya pasado, solo falta responder unas preguntas. Las opciones preseleccionadas que trae el script funcionan perfecto en mi SuSE 10.1, así que si algo falla (como errores de compilación, yo supongo), este es el primer sitio a revisar, junto con la versión del any-any-update.
mount -t usbfs /dev/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb

Sagittarius
As a future-oriented Sagittarius, the ninth sign of the zodiac, you are considered the most prophetic of the signs because you have the urge to understand the meaning of life. Also the most mobile sign of the zodiac, you explore beyond physical and mental boundaries, and thrive on freedom and liberty.
Jupiter, the planet of luck and expansion, is the ruler of Sagittarius, and brings optimism and joy to life. Jupiter is also associated with a person's spiritual beliefs and philosophic standards.
Sagittarius is the third fire sign. This fiery influence is like a candle in the dark, lighting the way to knowledge and wisdom. You walk through life high-spirited and openhearted, always seeking the truth. You are farsighted and goal-directed and are gifted in grasping general principles.
Sagittarius rules the ninth house of the chart, the section associated with the exploration of the intellectual mind or the physical world. Therefore, this house stands for religion, philosophy, higher education, as well as long journeys.
Sagittarius is a mutable sign, making you a communicator and teacher. Since you have the natural ability to gain profound insight into scientific and spiritual fields, you feel that it is your mission to contribute your knowledge on to the world.
One of your main strengths, dear Sag, is that you achieve your goals through the power of positive thinking. Your happy-go-lucky, future-oriented nature opens many doors for you. You are direct, honest, and jovial, which makes you a very humane and amiable friend, lover, and coworker.
Of course, you also have some weaknesses; due to your disposition, your head is often in the clouds, and you are oblivious to reality. You also run the risk of being hypocritical, and get so opinionated and dogmatic that you impose your "truth" upon others. You also don't tolerate any kind of restriction, and develop restlessness and unquenchable wanderlust.
You're not in the mood to mince words today, spurred on as you are by the alliance of the Empress and the Tower. Anyone who dares to criticize you will suddenly find themselves on the receiving end of a few home truths. You don't really have the confidence to win this dangerous war of words, dear Andres, but you just can't stop yourself from "telling it like it is." Let's hope your loved ones will forgive you. As for work, the Empress's influence is helping you to approach your daily tasks logically and patiently. You have a very analytical and rigorous mind, which should bring you much satisfaction by the end of the day. Don't worry, you'll get everything done!

The following poem was not found in an old Baltimore church:
Introduction
You are a fluke
Of the universe.
You have no right to be here.....
Deteriorata! Deteriorata!
Go placidly
Amid the noise and waste.
And remember what comfort there may be
In owning a piece thereof.
Avoid quiet and passive persons
Unless you are in need of sleep.
Ro-tate your tires.
Speak glowingly of those greater than yourself
And heed well their advice,
Even though they be turkeys.
Know what to kiss.....and when!
Consider that two wrongs never make a right
But that THREE.........do.
Wherever possible, put people on hold.
Be comforted that in the face of all aridity and disillusionment
And despite the changing fortunes of time,
There is always a big future in computer main-te-nance.
Chorus
You are a fluke
Of the universe.
You have no right to be here.
And whether you can hear it or not
The universe is laughing behind your back.
Remember the Pueblo.
Strive at all times to bend, fold, spindle and mu-ti-late.
Know yourself.
If you need help, call the FBI.
Exercise caution in your daily affairs,
Especially with those persons closest to you.
That lemon on your left, for instance.
Be assured that a walk through the ocean of most souls
Would scarcely get your feet wet.
Fall not in love therefore;
It will stick to your face.
Gracefully surrender the things of youth:
The birds, clean air, tuna, Taiwan
And let not the sands of time
Get in your lunch.
Hire people with hooks.
For a good time call 606-4311;
Ask for "Ken."
Take heart amid the deepening gloom
That your dog is finally getting enough cheese.
And reflect that whatever misfortune may be your lot
It could only be worse in Milwaukee.
Chorus
You are a fluke
Of the universe.
You have no right to be here.
And whether you can hear it or not
The universe is laughing behind your back.
Therefore, make peace with your god
Whatever you conceive him to be---
Hairy thunderer, or cosmic muffin.
With all its hopes, dreams, promises and urban renewal
The world continues to deteriorate.
GIVE UP!
Reprise
You are a fluke
Of the universe.
You have no right to be here.
And whether you can hear it or not
The universe is laughing behind your back.
Performed by National Lampoon on "National Lampoon Radio Dinner," a 1972 recording by Blue Thumb Records. Lyrics by Tony Hendra.

El periodico de la O. A must read for understanding why our president is such a bad choice. Spanish only.
Although I do not read this paper a lot, I like to do it from time to time. It's very nice to be aware of all the stupid rubbish the NorthAmerican president is doing
The Independent Media Centre. One of the most radical sites of politics and news. But if it's read carefully, gives a lot of clarifying answers and raises more questions about whow bad our world is taking important decisions.
A nice flash animation, and of course a big web site telling why not to join the northamerican army. Of course, I'm not from that country, neither I would like to, but Iraq war it's not right and also affects the rest of the world, incluiding me, so
Forum site for my questions about computers and Internet. Spanish Only
Who in the computer world doesn't know what the ACM is? As a student member of this organizarion, I have a lot to be grateful for.

A nice place to look for basic info on LaTeX... although I am still learning.
Not a flame against Mac. Instead, I found a really good and non fanatic analysis of that system
First place to look for computer security related stuff, among other things
Formerly Gameversity. One of the sites I want to take a game programming online course
One of my favourite programming languages. It's incredible after almost losing my eyes because of Java

I have to say that learn to use this library it's one of my unfinished tasks. But I will. I WILL!
Source Code for Visual C++, C#, .NET and Visual Basic Developers.
To be honest, I've never read this site, but for some reason I like it. I hope in the future can be helpful
I rarely use this site, as I rarely program in Windows. However, it's never a bad idea to have some references and this one is not bad.
Now this is a really GOOD reference when learning about pointers and linked lists and all that cool stuff. Please visit.
One of the worst places to look for code in internet HAHAHAHA... this is a WARNING link!
It's not a bad place, but I rarely use it. my first try it's always sourceforge.
Now this is quite interesting. A very nice collection of algorithms.
Inverse Reality contains over 40 tutorials on many aspects of Game Programming. Webmaster is also available for questions. Source code available for DJGPP, some include inline assembly
Very simple introduction to Data Structures

The former Crack Smilies, now called MySmilies, a big resource on icons for forums and chatting in general. Most are very nice collections, others are very rough or disgusting

Another Forum I used to visit for a little while a long time ago. Spanish only
A quite interesting forum. I normally do not participate, but a little bit of reading from time to time I certainly do.
Once my main source of infromation about formula 1, now it's more a pay-per-news site. Still, the info is not bad
Of course, the main site for official info. Not press pass yet, but when looking for regulation stuff, there's no better place!
A very good DataBase for formula 1 drivers statistics. Updating was closed a looong time ago, but still very interesting as a source for historical stats

I first saw this guy in a video of La fitta sassaiola dell'ingiuria (don not ask what does that mean because I have no answer to that). they seem to be very crazy, but I do not follow them much.

Tutorials for learning ancient greek. Have been here some times... it looks pretty interesting, but or I am quite slow, or ancient greek is not easy to learn... I suppose a tutor would help me, but this is not one of my priorities.
Un lugar obligatorio para toda persona que hable español. Definitivamente hay que probar el diccioniario. Siempre lo tengo a la mano

A lipsum generator. Very handy when writing something and you only want to fill spaces

One of the best places I have ever been for a game. It's a community surrounded by all kinds of intringuilis of the real life
