"The Baby-Boomers and the Millennials are both worthy of special attention. They are large groups: there are 77 million Boomers and 82 million Millennials. Millennials are showing strong interest in civic participation and reversing some of the declines observed among youth since the 1970s. Meanwhile, the Boomers are reaching the period of life when typically we see the highest levels of civic engagement, thanks in part to resources such as savings, networks, community ties, and knowledge that accumulate over time. The two generations are linked in that most of the Millennials' parents are Boomers. "

"Last updated on May 31, 2016 Authored by Dennis Turpitka 4 Comments Device drivers are parts of the operating system that facilitate usage of hardware devices via certain programming interface so that software applications can control and operate the devices.

"Sustainable open source projects are those that are capable of supporting themselves. Simply put, they are able to meet their ongoing costs. However, from the viewpoint of selection and procurement, sustainability also means that the project is capable of delivering improvements and fixing problems with its products in a timely manner, and that the project itself has a reasonable prospect of continuing into the future. Elsewhere on our site you can find articles describing some of the many formal approaches to evaluating open source software as part of the Software Sustainability Maturity Model."

[... Ha sido una gran estafa. Estafa de los bancos que inundaron el mundo de hipotecas sin garantías y de porquería financiera. Estafa de los organismos internacionales y la mayoría de los bancos centrales y gobiernos que han creado las condiciones para que los bancos se forren. Estafa de analistas y académicos que proclamaron las virtudes del libre mercado y de la desregulación de las fianzas. Estafa de los líderes políticos que primero dijeron no haberse enterado de nada; luego, ante la gravedad de lo que sucedía, afirmaron que iban a cambiar las cosas, más tarde inventaron excusas como la gripe A o la amenaza terrorista para que los ciudadanos miraran a otra parte y no salieran a la calle y, finalmente, actuaron con el principio de que para salvar la economía había que salvar primero a los bancos que la llevaron al desastre. Estafa de los poderosos del planeta que provocaron este problema gigantesco sin asumir ni pagar sus responsabilidades y que, como siempre, han hecho que las personas débiles y pobres sean quienes sufran y paguen sus criminales destrozos. ...]

The founder of Palm, Jeff Hawkins, solves the mystery of Artificial Intelligence and presents his theory at the RSA Conference 2008. He gives a brief tutorial on the neocortex and then explains how the brain stores memory and then describes how to use that knowledge to create artificial intelligence. This lecture is insightful and his theory will revolutionize computer science.

[... It has been sixteen months since I retired - or thought I was retiring - from my monthly column. A lot has happened since. First, my company was purchased by Seagate, and I am now part of the Seagate Government Solutions organization. That, of course, now changes what I write about in this column a bit as I am now a vendor, but I am still going to deal with the big issues facing storage and data movement. I will do my best to continue to not mention vendors unless I am referencing things that are in the news. Secondly, this will not be a monthly column - I'll likely post something every few months. And lastly, I want to thank those who have written in and asked me to keep writing. Thank you! The topic this month is going to be rootkits, which are nasty security issues that I think we all need to start thinking about, as well as what to do about them. ...]

"07 febrero 2016 - 22:27 En alguna discusión de algún hilo alguien mencionó Linux y me dejó la espina... ¿de verdad existe Linux? ¿No es un mito? ¿Conocéis alguien que lo use? ¿Lo habéis usado alguna vez? De mi parte en los casi 30 años que tengo de tener acceso a los ordenadores casi a diario, nunca lo he usado, ni lo he visto y no conozco a nadie que lo haga."

"This sections relates to disabling and removing the ME (Intel Management Engine) on GM45. This was originally done on the ThinkPad X200, and later adapted for the ThinkPad R400/T400/T500. It can in principle be done on any GM45 or GS45 system. The ME is a blob that typically must be left inside the flash chip (in the ME region, as outlined by the default descriptor). On GM45, it is possible to remove it without any ill effects. All other parts of coreboot on GM45 systems (provided GMA MHD4500 / Intel graphics) can be blob-free, so removing the ME was the last obstacle to make GM45 a feasible target in libreboot (the systems can also work without the microcode blobs).
