I have been using xfce since 2001 on debian... Great desktop environment....

My 2 opnions 1 - lulzsec is a covert ops... from US gov. Bringing chaos to approve censorship in the internet. 2.1 - People that find out a way to exploit a big botnet network and taking advantage of the "heat of revolution" made a lot more people to "donate" their machines to a botnet, exploits, previous hacked documents. 2.2 - People that worked in a way to spread malware for a couple of months or years and built their own botnet network and taking advantage of the "heat of revolution" made a lot more people to "donate" their machines to a botnet, exploits, previous hacked documents. I strongly believe in the number 1.

I built one with Debian Lenny plus I developed a scheduling system in perl using kernel containers + CGroups. So, the research team would think they own a "real" linux and I can share resources in a better way. Also I used perl-cgi to make a containers design, this way no one touchs my real OS. The research leader just use my container design to create and deploy new containers, then the new container is booted in a testing machine so the person can install whatever he needs and cloning later to deploy on the cluster, 400 core + 1.8TB ram.

The Nexus Effect: people follow whatever others are doing to be: cool, happy, health, w/e.

Since when Japan need help from outside? Last time I went tourist to Japan-Tokyo (2009), the hotel manager went to me with a towel and a soap and said: "Thanks for stay with us you can have it." Then I was: O_o? The hell are you talking about? Why I would need hotel stuff? Then he said: Because your people not from Japan always steal it. Don't even like to remember that, went to police, embassy... Was a fucking mess. He received some sort of punishment like help to collect garbage or donations to someone, not sure.
