Getting started with xmonad This is a guided tour of the core features of the xmonad window manager, allowing you to gain an understanding of the motivation, and use of a tiling window manager, and learn how to achieve the kind of screen configuration you want, simply and easily. Starting xmonad We'll assume you've been able to build xmonad from hackage (or from your package system). If not, seeing the build instructions. You can then start xmonad directly from your .xsession or .xinitrc file, by executing it as so: # .xsession xrdb -merge .Xresources xpmroot ~/background.xpm & $HOME/bin/xmonad Note the use of xpmroot to set a background image.

Opening clients When you start xmonad, without launching clients, you'll be presented with an empty screen: Let's start some clients, to fill the screen. xmonad uses the mod1 key (alt) by default, and we can start by launching a terminal with mod-shift-return. Let's open up another terminal mod-shift-return: Layout modes Moving focus and again mod-comma:

January 2005 (I wrote this talk for a high school. I never actually gave it, because the school authorities vetoed the plan to invite me.)

When I said I was speaking at a high school, my friends were curious. What will you say to high school students? So I asked them, what do you wish someone had told you in high school? I'll start by telling you something you don't have to know in high school: what you want to do with your life. If I were back in high school and someone asked about my plans, I'd say that my first priority was to learn what the options were. It might seem that nothing would be easier than deciding what you like, but it turns out to be hard, partly because it's hard to get an accurate picture of most jobs. But there are other jobs you can't learn about, because no one is doing them yet. And yet every May, speakers all over the country fire up the Standard Graduation Speech, the theme of which is: don't give up on your dreams. Which is an uncomfortable thought. Upwind Now.

All this and he has also made important contributions to theory, software engineering, and security. Today I want to talk about computer malware. Just having a name—malware—for worms and viruses is a problem. We tend to name things that are important, or is it things become important when we name them?

Whatever we call them, it is time, I believe, to say: I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not going to take this anymore! In the beginning there was ARPANET. I recall watching with envy my colleagues, like Anita Jones, check her ARPANET account for messages. Eventually, those of us on the outside, those of us without ARPANET accounts, decided to act.

Astrónomos descubren “estrellas imposibles” | Desde la Redacción. Dos estrellas de tipo enanas rojas que orbitan entre sí cada 2,5 horas, luego se fundirán en una. / Space.comPor Miguel Artime - Lo que los astrónomos acaban de encontrar en nuestra galaxia, la Vía Láctea, es algo que hasta ahora parecía imposible. Estrellas gemelas orbitándose la una a la otra en un ciclo vertiginoso completo de menos de cuatro horas. Hasta ahora, los científicos creían que algo así era imposible, y eso que a pesar de que nuestro sol carece de compañera, casi la mitad de las estrellas de nuestra galaxia podrían formar parte de un sistema binario. Empleando el Telescopio Infrarrojo del Reino Unido (UKIRT) situado en Hawaii, los astrónomos descubrieron cuatro parejas de "estrellas imposibles". Por norma, se creía que si una estrella se formaba demasiado cerca de otra, las dos estrellas se mezclarían rápidamente formando un único astro mayor.

Lo que no saben explicar los astrónomos es cómo pudieron reducir su tamaño las órbitas de estas binarias. Fuente Yahoo!

Está por todas partes. Se menciona por encima en tertulias televisivas, se escribe en libros de texto, está en boca de profesores de universidad, e Internet lo repite incesantemente, incluso en la Wiskypedia ―como por ejemplo en este “artículo” (por llamarlo de alguna manera) sobre la pederastia en Grecia. Todo el mundo lo parafrasea, se ha convertido en un “meme”, un eslogan que las masas repiten sin pensar, de modo similar al famoso “todos somos iguales”. Se han vertido toneladas y toneladas de basura sobre la historia griega, e innumerables autorzuelos del tres al cuarto han desarrollado páginas y páginas dando por sentado que la mentira es cierta.

¿A qué nos referimos? A que hoy todo el mundo asume que los antiguos griegos eran una panda mariconas redomadas. Sin embargo, este dogma no es más que otro gigante con pies de barro, y aquí será desmenuzado y se demostrará por qué es así. En otro artículo quedó demostrada la falsedad del mito de que los griegos fuesen “mediterráneos”. "Why Pi?" - from Donald Knuth's Computer Musings.

NASA and university researchers find a clue to how life turned left | Science Wire. “Our analysis of the amino acids in meteorite fragments from Tagish Lake gave us one possible explanation for why all known life uses only left-handed versions of amino acids to build proteins,” said Dr. Daniel Glavin of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. Glavin is lead author of a paper on this research to be published in the journal Meteoritics and Planetary Science. This is an artist’s concept of excess left-hand aspartic acid created in asteroids and delivered to Earth via meteorite impacts.

The line at the bottom is a chromatogram showing that left-hand aspartic acid (tall peak in the center, with diagram of left-hand aspartic acid molecule on top) was four times more abundant in the meteorite sample than right-hand aspartic acid (smaller peak to the left, with right-handed aspartic acid molecule on top).

Content Creation: Why You Should Stop Thinking Customer First. Thinking customer first creates a barrier when conceptualizing ideas for content creation.

By zeroing in on the word “customer”, you face the danger of typecasting people into a singular role that only exists in your own personal narrative. This is a limiting approach that overlooks an important fact: your customer is more dynamic than someone in need of a particular product or service. By adopting an outward looking approach to how you understand and ultimately reach your audience, you will start creating the content that fits into the story that matters, your customers’. Your Content: Become Part of Someone’s Story Look at great stories throughout history.

Humans The Germanic tribes during the Roman Empire have been, more or less, categorized into the much more well-known groups (Goths, Vandals, etc.) who did manage to burn and sack Rome. The truth is that these “barbarians” were much more diverse and varied; their existence was more fluid than what the textbooks usually tell us.

This list offers a glimpse of a few of the lesser-known Germanic tribes, listed as a footnote to the greater and more glorified barbarians that helped push Europe to the middle Ages. This tribe has only been mentioned in passing by Tacitus, in his work De Germania. The tribe’s name came from the Proto-Germanic word harjaz, which means “warrior.” True enough, the warriors of this tribe have earned their name, not only from their superior strength, but also from tactics. The Harii have no known descendants. The Batavi got their name from the Germanic word batawjo, meaning “good island,” the place where they had settled.

A Real-Life Star Trek Phaser. From scrubbing floors to Ivy League: Homeless student to go to dream college. It's before sunrise, and the janitor at Burns High School has already been down the length of a hallway, cleaning and sweeping classrooms before the day begins. This particular janitor is painstakingly methodical, even as she administers a mental quiz on an upcoming test. Her name is Dawn Loggins, a straight-A senior at the very school she cleans. On this day, she maneuvers a long-handled push broom between rows of desks. She stops to pick up a hardened, chewed piece of gum. "This annoys me, because there's a trash can right here," she says.

The worst, she says, is snuff cans in urinals. "It's just rude and pointless. " With her long, straight dark blonde hair and black-rimmed glasses, Dawn looks a bit like Avril Lavigne. She was homeless at the start of the school year, abandoned by her drug-abusing parents. She's grateful for the work. For now, there's still work to be done.

Google cambió, otra vez. En esta oportunidad, el gigante de las búsquedas online decidió unificar sus más de 70 versiones de políticas de privacidad en sus distintos servicios, por uno único y universal. Así, desde el 1 de marzo de 2012, la compañía prometió hacer las cosas más sencillas y de fácil entendimiento, enfatizando en que todo seguirá -más o menos- tal como antes, que no lucrarán con los datos recopilados de sus usuarios, ni que estén buscando recolectar más de ellos.

Los cambios, entonces, vienen en el sentido de que con esta unificación de sus servicios, la próxima vez que busques “cómo cocina sushi”, también encontrarás videos en YouTube con tutoriales y consejos de comida japonesa, en Google Books podrías encontrar textos con recetas y en Google Maps, seguramente, te recomendarán el restaurante más cercano.

¿Qué es lo polémico, entonces? Foto: Guioteca La nueva política de privacidad de Google comenzó a funcionar el 1 de marzo. ¿Y cómo se soluciona? Danish Girls Are The Most Masculine In The World » Roosh V. Danish women possess no flirting ability. They have zero charm and zero allure. Not a feminine drop of blood courses through their veins. They don’t know how to treat you well, cook for you, or make you laugh. They don’t know how to look sexy. They won’t defer to your masculinity. They can fuck you, but no more. Since she’s unable to flirt, a Danish girl doesn’t know how to show interest, and thinks that doing so would be showing weakness. Speaking of hookers, I’m not exaggerating when I say they are more charming than Danish girls.

If you’re stuck in Copenhagen and want something that reminds you of what a woman should be, your best bet is to find a foreign girl who has been in Denmark for less than one year. Even the Danish girls who have somehow escaped the corrupting influence of the androgynous culture (she’ll probably be from Jutland) will have some random masculine quality that fucks everything up. If you don’t want to bang a Danish girl, disagree with her.

Analysis of the Inequality of the Curve and the Straight Line (Extract) Introduction During the geometric developments carried out in his the first book “The Inequality of the Curve and the Straight Line,” a trend to a given relationship, or pattern is discovered by means of a research based on the “trial and error” method. In determining such pattern by means of an iterative method of geometric construction, a triangle of surface equal to the surface of a given circumference was obtained. If DABC is an isosceles triangle with a height of 2d and a base equal to the perimeter of the circumference of diameter d, its surface will be equal to the surface of the circumference of diameter 2d.

Following the development of this pattern, equalities could be established for perimeters of circumference with circumferences having a smaller diameter and equalities of square perimeters with squares having a smaller side.
