Straight from tabletblog.com come these questions: Do you own a Nokia 770 or Nokia N800? If not, what keeps you from buying one today? If so: What do you use it for most? What applications do you desire most? What accessories do you desire most? If you could change the design, how would you do it? Here are my responses: I own a [...]

Nestled up here near the Canadian border, we are finally starting to see signs of spring. The snow has all melted. Green is starting to be seen in the grass. Buds are appearing on the trees. Temps have been up in the 50s Fahrenheit. We are seeing our neighbors outside again. All is good.BUT... just to make sure we remember that we are in fact this far North, the weather reports say that we may get 6 inches of snow tonight! (Hopefully not more than that as I already put away the snowblower and shovelling a lot of wet snow is NOT fun!)I guess the good news is that Friday is a holiday, so maybe there is a chance for one last day of skiing! :-)

Question... a friend has a couple of older regular desktop (tower) computers that he would like to give away to someone locally who then refurbs them and gets them to nonprofits or other orgs that need computers. However, before giving the computers away, he wants to completely wipe them so that there is no chance that any kind of information might be somehow recovered from the drives. Outside of physical destruction of the drives or exposing them to extremely large magnets, what techniques or software have people used to really wipe a disk? (Thanks in advance)

Approved some more new Linux training centers that submitted entries to LinTraining. This batch of approvals were in:India (4 entries)Phillippines (3 entries)BelgiumUSABrazilPeruBoliviaSwedenNigeriaBosnia-HerzegovinaInteresting the number from Latin America and also India and the Phillippines. I have to wonder if there was some article written in the Phillippines or India that accounts for all of those coming in at the same time.

Cuba and Venezuela have joined a growing list of nations concerned about the tight relationship between Microsoft and the United States intelligence establishment. Both countries are considering moving to open source for public and government computers in an effort to save money and bolster national security.From iTWire:Given the ongoing hostility between Cuba and the US, you can see why the Cuban government might have been concerned to hear that Microsoft had some help from the NSA with Vista's security features. At least with open source software you can review the code.[...]It makes a lot of sense for Cuba to avoid commercially imported software. Apart from the cost factor, using open source provides its government with a way of further nurturing local d[...]
