Inconceivable

I can't believe that that Ehud Olmert is still our PM.
Not this imbecile is speaking of giving parts of Jerusalem to Palestinians.
In what kind of dream world he is living in I don't know.
I don't want to know.
I just want him gone.
For good.

P.S.
Speaking of Ehuds, I would be delighted to see Ehud Barak to join Olmert on his way out of politics.
Even more delighted, to see them go to the place where they belong - behind bars.

The road Internet sensorship laid with IP legislation

Belgian court of law has concluded that the ISPs (Internet Service Providesr) are responsible for IP violation enforcement. Meaning that Belgian ISPs will have to block file sharing in their networks.
What next, the electric companies would be responsible for copyright violation, since the are providing electricity needed for file sharing?

The true meaning of this decision is that the ISPs will have to enforce censorship on the internet. ISPs, or actually the IP owners will tell you what you may or may not do with your Internet.

Lets help this poor oppressed Muslim

Ynet reports that in Iranian newspaper "Ya-Asraat" published a story about the "horrible oppression" that Iranian Muslim "suffer" in the US. They needed some photo of an unknown bearded man for the illustration of "such oppressed" Iranian Muslim. They chose no one other then Avigdor Lieberman.
That just shows how "accurate" the media is in most Muslim countries.

Fedora 7 impressions

I'm by no means a Linux guru. I do know how to make some thing done or how to setup some servers, but not building a Linux system from scratch.
I'm telling you all this since I'm about to tell about my user experience with Fedora 7.

The whole impression, that I have to work harder to get simple tasks done.

At a glance it appears to have more professional flavor than Ubuntu, great artwork (unlike Ubuntu) and a more security driven approach. Here, however the benefits that I've seen end.

For starters, YUM sucks. It is slow, unresponsive with a lot less packages than Synaptic.
Next the tools that were made for ease of administration, the one that would benefit a lot to the overall impression of the distribution, wouldn't work because of some security settings, even with root privileges.
I couldn't make VNC to work for no obvious reason.
Apache wouldn't serve any pages even thou the setup seems to be just fine.

My encounters with Fedora have always been brief. Perhaps it has something to do with the thing that I'm accustomed to, yet neither Debian nor Open Suse weren't as much frustrating as Fedora as has been.

So far, I'm stuck with Fedora because of some hardware manufacturer for a specific, project. It means that I'll have to give it another chance. Who knows, perhaps I'll change my mind?
