I spend a lot of time on airplanes. It used to be you'd often strike up a conversation with the person next to you on a plane. Over the years I met the editor of a newspaper in Roswell, New Mexico (and, yes, he was human as far as I could tell), an LA Laker Girl (no kidding), and many other interesting characters. But these days, you don't get much chance to visit with your flying neighbors because everyone has an iPod, or a laptop, or some other gadget to keep them busy.

Subject: Google's 'clean' Linux headers: Are they really that dirty?
The trouble with open source is that most coders aren't lawyers and most lawyers aren't coders. And even if everyone did wear both hats, there would still be ample room for disagreement. The law, you must remember, is subjective.

Subject: The Enlightened one is here-Bodhi Linux1.0.0 | With screenshots
You could call it E or E17, but, whatever you choose to call the Bodhi Linux 1.0.0, with the Enlightment 17 window manager for the first time, it will remain to be one of the true Ubuntu distros. It will continue to remain on most Linux desktops for its exceptional modular structure and high customization features.

Subject: Enabling Compiz Fusion On A Debian Squeeze Desktop (Nvidia GeForce 8200)
This tutorial shows how you can enable Compiz Fusion on a Debian Squeeze desktop (the system must have a 3D-capable graphics card - I'm using an Nvidia GeForce 8200 here). With Compiz Fusion you can use beautiful 3D effects like wobbly windows or a desktop cube on your desktop.

My girlfriend has been a Linux user for over a year now. Last night I sat down with my girlfriend and we talked a bit about what she thought of her penguin powered laptop. With her permission I am going to post some of her responses.

Subject: Sharing some bash-script-fu: Re-installing Flash dependencies
[url=http://lxer.com/team.php][img]http://lxer.com/pub/files/hkwint/LXer.jpg[/img][/url] [b]LXer feature 30-Mar-11[/b]Lately, Flash became very unstable and crashed both Firefox and Opera time and time again. I had the latest version, so I thought the problem might be outdated dependencies. When finding all dependencies, I used some of my limited bash-scripting skills, this time also using my first 'intermediate' regular expression. Nothing fancy, but on the other hand I thought I might share them with anyone interested; maybe it's of any help to anyone! Because some of the commands may also be useful for doing other work while dealing with file and text streams.

Subject: Introduction to the Editing Operators in Blender
Blender is an open source software for artists that also covers education, research and development, universities, and more.To create models in Blender, you must deal with the 3D View Editor area working and its editing operators. Blender has powerful editing operators, but in this article by Michelangelo Manrique, the author will cover in detail those that help you in the very first moment, making a fast review of the others though. The use of very high-level complex editing operators will be a learning that you will discover once you try and practice modeling with exercises.
