		<title>A 2008 Experience of Buying a GNU/Linux PC in the UK</title>
		<description><![CDATA[


[These are some quick notes, nothing formal, but might be of use to Brits in this blog who wish to buy a PC soon&#8230;]
Things have improved drastically, even in the land of Bill &#038; Tony, which is likely to be last to embrace FOSS (along with the US).
I&#8217;ve just spent about 3 hours trying to [...]]]></description>

		<title>The NASA Global Warming Deniers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Can we trust NASA?
NASA&#8217;s press office &#8220;marginalized or mischaracterized&#8221; studies on global warming between 2004 and 2006, the agency&#8217;s own internal watchdog concluded.
One has to wonder if any Federal or public body has actually remained decent.

		<title>Animal Torture for Human&#8217;s Benefit?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Are we human are we just animals?
&#8216;ve covered here before some incidents (or widespread phenomena rather) such as use of Africa as the garbage dump for poisonous artifacts, disposed of by the western world. People are supposed not to know about this, or at least not to care.
Some years ago I was seeing protests from [...]]]></description>

		<title>Heal the World? Not So Much.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[t&#8217;ll be interesting to see how much of a catastrophe is needed to make human kind wake up and realise just how quickly this planet is going downhill, unless radical action is taken to reverse the effects of deforestation, global warming and excess in consumption. New case of point from  the news:

WWF finds 27% [...]]]></description>

		<title>Red Hat&#8217;s Desktop Moves Just a Calculated Strategy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Datamation has published my analysis of recent decisions made by Red Hat and how they can be justified given the status of the desktop in this fast-moving world. Several factors are being considered, including the fact that software gradually starts to reside on computing clouds and content then delivered to mobile devices and appliances.

		<title>Sunday Ramble: From Suppression to Freedom, Hopefully</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I hurt my back quite badly yesterday, which is a shame because I typically do some exercise on Sunday (still a four-times-a-week routine). Yesterday I could barely do a thing at the gym and I just left early. And now I just have some spare time, so let me spill my mind out about a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Real News and Reporting is Never on TV, Newspapers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ have been a very vocal critic of the BBC, which is still perceived by many as the Auntie that can never do any wrong and can also always be trusted (de facto stance). For a variety of reasons, the BBC has been aligning with many commercial interests and you are warned that the channel [...]]]></description>

 have not blogged here in a while because I keep awfully busy elsewhere (primarily Boycott Novell) and also because I have spent the past few weeks maintaining and upgrading this Web site&#8217;s different pieces of software.
