Trans-Atlantic Time Trap - The Daily WTF

by night.kame

On most computers, including the developers', the code simply set the system date to the current month, day and year. On the French computers-where dates use the DD/MM/YYYY format-the code swapped the months and the days.

La grande habitude américaine : "on most" signifie en fait "aux USA".

(Article) An empty head learns nothing « Dokodemo Diary

by Takwann
The idea that, in aikido, a new person needs to learn how to learn is paralleled by the above topic. If it’s really been shown based on study of artificial intelligence and cognitive science, then it’s almost silly to regard it as a novel insight tied to aikido. Yet, a trap that many seniors and teachers fall into is to try to teach people everything, indeed, spending very little time on the most elementary aspects and “moving on” to more advanced topics, considering them to be more practical, applicable, “real”, or possibly just more interesting. There is, on the other hand, a trend in some circles to strongly emphasize the elementary aspects, and implicitly de-emphasize, possibly creating a subtle taboo around, more advanced topics.

The Role of Uchidachi in Kata

by Takwann (via)
copyright © 2007 Steve Quinlan, all rights reserved This short article is in response to the article written by K. Taylor regarding the “Fallacy of Expanding Time in Kata”. The article examines a common trap that I think all martial artists who study Kata are guilty of falling into at some time or another. The issue is falling into a “well what if I did this instead…” line of thinking. The article gives some wonderful insight into why this is so commonly done, and a means of preventing ourselves from succumbing to its call.

JavaInstallation - Community Ubuntu Documentation

by tadeufilippini
Overview Sun Microsystems have developed Java, which is many things depending on who you ask. It is a language, and an execution environment and probably many more things. On this page Java refers to the software that executes programs compiled to Java byte codes (akin to machine language). Be aware of the Java trap. Although keep in mind that with the GPL licensing of the Sun Java implementation the Java trap is a thing of the past. Even RMS thinks so. Use IcedTea on Ubuntu 7.10 and OpenJDK on Ubuntu 8.04 or later. The first free project to offer substantial parts of Java platform functionality was Guavac. After that the free software movement developed java compilers, most notably the GNU Compiler for Java. GCJ is a front end to the GCC compiler which can natively compile both Java(tm) source and bytecode files. The compiler can also generate class files. Gcjwebplugin is a little web browser plugin to execute Java applets. It is targeted for Mozilla and compatible browsers that support the NPAPI. Others include the Eclipse Java Compiler, which is maintained by the Eclipse Foundation. Eclipse is an open-source Integrated development environment (IDE) written primarily in Java. The Eclipse open source community has over 60 open source projects. OpenJDK is the open source Java, derived from sources which will become OpenJDK 7 in the future.

Empecher son Chat de manger les plantes avec une camera Automatisée___DIY Blender Defender Keeps Cats off Counters

by decembre
build a motion-sensing security-camera booby trap that scares the crap out of your cat whenever she jumps up there. Most of us would settle with the former option, but an inventive fellow named Brian decided that option two was the way he'd rather go, and the result is the Blender Defender. When triggered, Blender Defender switches on a blender, flashes a strobe, and terrifies cats.

Cloud computing is a trap, warns GNU founder | Technology | guardian.co.uk

"One reason you should not use web applications to do your computing is that you lose control," he said. "It's just as bad as using a proprietary program. Do your own computing on your own computer with your copy of a freedom-respecting program. If you use a proprietary program or somebody else's web server, you're defenceless. You're putty in the hands of whoever developed that software."

Does Microsoft really want to be open source's friend?

by ericpaul (via)
Since then, I've looked more closely at the details of Microsoft's "new" position and it looks even more to me like a new coat of paint on the same old Microsoft "We're so interoperable" BS. In other words, Microsoft is opening up its secrets for you to look at, but, woe to you if you try to use any of them in anything that might actually make money. Microsoft isn't offering open source a new opportunity, it's offering open source a trap. - Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols

System Administration Toolkit: Build intelligent, unattended scripts

by mbertier & 1 other (via)
Look at how to create scripts that are able to record their output, trap and identify errors, and recover from errors and problems so that they either run correctly or fail with a suitable error message and report. Building scripts and running them automatically is a task that every good administrator has to handle, but how do you handle the error output and make intelligent decisions about how the script should handle these errors? This article addresses these issues.

Pandora FMS - the Free Monitoring System - Main

by cascamorto & 2 others
# Pandora watches your systems and applications, and allows you to know the status of any element of those systems. Pandora could detect a network interface down, a defacement in your website, a memory leak in one of your server app, or the movement of any value of the NASDAQ new technology market. If you want, Pandora could send out SMS message when your systems fails... or when Google's value drop below US$ 33. # Pandora will adjust, like an octopus, to your systems and requirements, because has been designed to be open, modular, multiplattform and easy to customize and use, all integrated into a scalable and distributed architecture. # Pandora can also monitor any kind of TCP/IP service, without the need to install agents, and monitor network systems such as load balancers, routers, switches, operating systems, applications, or simply printers if you need. Pandora also supports SNMP for collecting data and for receiving traps. # A few examples of common resources monitored by Pandora could be processor load, disk and memory usage, running processes, log files, environmental factors such as temperature, or application values like strings contained in web pages or any possible way to collect data in an automatic way.

The Several Habits of Wildly Successful Twitter Users » Slacker Manager

It is so easy to “follow” someone in Twitter that many folks go a little bit overboard at first. If you can handle the firehose of twittering, go for it. Otherwise, don’t get wrapped up in the “more is better” trap.
