Assertion of Responsibility

The science of global warming and climate change has a lot of
open questions yet to resolve . This means a lot of research and
study to be discussed by scientists and validated in scientific labs
and controlled experiments. The equally mounting evidence to its
being a fact of science is undeniable now. Our generation is in
fact living its initial effects.

The major producers of carbon emissions are the manufacturing
activities of the economy. Our dependence on carbon fuel for our
cars and other vehicles and machines to produce our electricity to
power our homes and everyday activities put us, man, in the
center of this science.

Much like the controversy when Darwin first put out his theory of
evolution, global warming and climate change put us and science
too close to exercise our detached observations. A lot is at stake,
only the future of the world and its finite resources.

While most educated men adopts a positive attitude of recognizing
the conclusions of scientists and global experts, that is they submit
to a more green lifestyle change, some have expressed their denial
of what seems to be overwhelming evidence gathered by scientists.
What we should do now is to bring more science into the discussion,
what we should bring is more cooperation and sensible thinking,
what we should acknowledge is the tremendous responsibility
regardless of who is to blame.

Password Issues On Ubuntu Login

I found myself unable to enter my login credentials when prompted to do so in Ubuntu. I think I might have changed it then forget about it. I've been running the current session for more days than I should have. I forget. So what's the solution to my problem. How do I get in to my system now? It involved getting into the grub menu somehow. I am uncertain as to how to do that exactly in your system. So there's a couple of ways to do it (finger's crossed). When booting at system start, use the esc key or the shift key. The first one worked for me. The timing is key. Wait until the bios banner shows then hit the esc key once. I am using Ubuntu 22.04.4 here. I have a current version of grub. The grub menu will give you options and the one you want is: root. Yes you want root privileges to set the root password. It should give you a terminal access where you can issue commands. Type: #mount -rw -o -s remount / ==> this command mounts the filesyste...

Pacman Has to Get Better

I finally got my printers working. I got cups (and cupsd in the /etc/rc.conf) I installed hpoj and a group of printer drivers. So to get my Arch linux to recognize there's a usb printer connected to my system I have to run a daemon (ptal-init setup) and include it in /etc/rc.conf. That finally enabled (after a reboot) my GNOME control center to acknowledge that there is indeed an HP-3900 at the end of my usb port. The real personal story behind my saga with a printer is pacman. It is now throwing 'network not reachable' everytime I start it. Every download and sync. I ran --debug and ping ip addresses and so far I will conclude that it's a really really slow ftp server. The server is so slow pacman is timing out connections. It's unusable guys. My first rolling release distro and I've decided that Arch rises and falls with the performance of their package manager. Great distro for the DIY community. But sorry I can't recommend Arch linux to my mother who jus...

Webapps in Unity

So it has been 4 months since Ubuntu 14.04 came out. This is LTS and supported for 6 years by Canonical. The first mobile device with Ubuntu pre-installed is promised to come out later this year, 2014. It's time to check out how the apps perform so far. It is a good idea. I use Gmail and Twitter and Facebook. Why not a webapp in a desktop? So I start the Twitter and Gmail webapp. So far it has crashed my computer 6 times. Not a very good sign. On the other hand it does work but not as stable as opening them in Firefox. -- Use my PGP key if you want to encrypt your replies/messages to me.
