"I'm not even going to pretend to write all this marketing rubbish, because quite honestly I'm not much good at it and it's a senseless waste of time. Really there's no point anyway, on the surface there's really nothing new - most of the changes are upgrades and kind of "under the hood" (kernel 2.6.23.12, KDE 3.5.8, Firefox 2.0.0.11, Thunderbird 2.0.0.9, OpenOffice.org 2.3.1), although you will probably see some really nice new wallpaper images in KDE..."

Caution - 180 Degree Turnaround Ahead
That was my initial assessment. Look...I am past the honeymoon stage as a Linux User. I've seen it early in the morning before its had its coffee. I've stood too close to it before the morning tooth-brushing has taken place. I've even had my hands in parts of it that most people never need or want to see. Gone are the days of being endeared by cute little mannerisms. Past are the times when I would gaze lovingly at every part of it, cherishing the fact that it was mine.

Speaking of So-called ‘Conspiracy Theories’ and ‘Coincidences’
In a previous post we showed that it would be foolish to ignore what Microsoft constantly does to sabotage and stifle competitors. At times, the company stumbles and falls. It fails to defend itself after leaving too many fingerprints or leaving in tact the trail of evidence which shows how it pulls strings in order to secretly attack it worst of fears.

Mastering regular expressions in PHP, Part 1: Perl may be regex king, but PHP can slice and dice input quickly, too
Here's a brief example of applying a regex, drawn from the UNIX command-line utility grep, which searches for a specified pattern among the content of one or more UNIX text files. The command grep -i -E '^Bat' searches for the sequence beginning-of-line (indicated with the caret, [^]), followed immediately by upper- or lowercase letters b, a, and t (the -i option ignores case in pattern matches, so B and b are equivalent, for instance). Hence, given the file heroes.txt:

Why I Won't Use KMail or Kontact
KDE 4 is scheduled to be released soon, and it looks like it has a lot of cool new features. Unfortunately, everything I've seen about it says that it's still going to be missing an important feature that many computer users (especially Windows converts to Linux) have come to expect — apparently because a few developers don't like or use that feature.

Is OLPC team crossing the lines?
Hello dear reader. I've just been reading an article on News.com, which explains in some detail the exit of Intel from an OLPC alliance.
