Fedora 9 code name is Sulphur. “Sulphur is (according to myth) an ingredient needed to cure lycanthropy“. Would that be the case to say that Werewolf was an error?

Go to google.com, type “find Chuck Norris” on the search box, click “I’m feeling lucky”, then have a good laugh.

AFTER SEEING ALL the hype last week about the Macbook Air, I am left in complete awe at how stupid the mac fanboys, the general public, and sadly almost all of the IT press is. Some get it, and I think Anand was the only one to put 2 + 2 together, Apple did diddly squat here, Intel did, but it gets no credit.

Read the full story on The Inquirer.

Today marks my 1st year at Red Hat! I’m so glad and happy of being here that I have no words to express it. Got a lot of congratulations from co-workers, which makes me even more happy.

I hope I have many more years here, because working for this company is awesome!

Stupidity happens everywhere. Specially on forums and/or Windows-biased publications.

I was testing an old printer we had stored in the company, and got a very nice message:

kernel: drivers/usb/class/usblp.c: usblp0: on fire

Haha! It’s actually not on fire. It’s just out of ink.

Eu não gosto de comentar sobre política, mas essa não pude deixar passar. Roberto Teixeira publicou em seu blog um comentário sobre recente matéria da Folha, onde militares afirmam estar-se mobilizando por aumento de salário.

Os comentários de Roberto foram extremamente pertinentes, e valem a leitura. Realmente, conforme ele indica, tudo tem cheiro de golpe de estado. Exagero? Pode ser, mas se não é golpe, é uma maneira absurdamente agressiva e infantil de desestabilizar o governo. E isso não pode ser aceito por parte das forças armadas de um país democrático que se diz de respeito.

Playing a little more with VirtualBox (*). Now I have 2 guest OSes being installed at the same time, while I’m still browsing (and blogging), reading e-mail, chatting on IRC and listening to my music. All that with 75%~80% CPU usage. All that on an AMD 3000+ (Fedora 8 with 64bits kernel).

After the Y2K bug, here come the Y2K38 and Y10K bugs.

What a great surprise to discover such nice virtualization application. VirtualBox works so nice, so fast and so smooth, and has such a very easy and well designed interface. Very cool.
