For all NFS Old Timers…
Many must be aware of the older Need For Speed games that EA produced. One among them was High Stakes. IMHO, the uniqueness of High Stakes was its Damage Mode feature which could be very well felt in the game. The more the car’s engine/steering/suspension got damaged, the more difficult it was to handle the car then. I could never find the same game play in the later versions of EA’s NFS.

I’ve always been very skeptical about Doctors. Given the kind of news we’ve heard about Doctor’s (one who used to take kidneys out of healthy people in the name of treatment), it was tough believing in this profession.
But I think I’ve been very wrong. One example cannot represent a community. My father has been going through serious medical treatments and I admitted him to the Manipal Hospital at Bangalore, India.

I’ve been working on a bug recently related to udev which under certain circumstances triggers an OOM on the Linux kernel. On another bug, I also wanted to look for the max open processes for a single file. The results I found and pretty good. The Linux Kernel’s OOM feature has imporved a lot.
This is the one liner used to trigger the OOM.
while true; do tail -f /tmp/test.txt & x=expr $x + 1; echo $x; done

Yay!! First of all, Thank you.
I think now is the time most of the KDE users are going to migrate to KDE 4.1. KDE 4.1 looks so tempting that I really can’t wait. So while I compose this blog post, apt is doing all the needful to download the KDE4.1 packages from Debian Experimental. That doesn’t mean I wasn’t following KDE 4.x. While, becuasae of resource constraints, Debian made a wise choice of sticking to just a single KDE version (i.

When writing packages for Debian, one of the biggest problems is determining the packages to be put in Build-Depends
Sometimes, a single dependency in Build-Depends ends up building the package successfully on your machine while it fails on other machines. This is where pbuilder is really handy. It allows you to have bare minimal Debian OS releases, to which you can pass the package to build. It downloads the Build- Depends and then does a build in the clean Debian build environment.

While this is not really specific to Debian, but somehow it does contribute to it.
One of the reasons why I like Debian a lot is because of its package organization and availability. I take full leverage of the good work the Debian Developers have done packaging various dictionary packages in Debian.
While recently doing a re-installation (Don’t ask me why), searching back for the Debian dict packages, yielded in the following:

I have been a long time KMail user and love this email client. It has most of the features that I care about, like Message Threading, Spam Filtering, Disconnected IMAP et cetera.
KMail has good integration with SPAM Handling softwares like spamassassin and bogofilter. The KMail wizard will autoconfigure spamassassin, bogofilter and others (as detected from your installation). The default settings were a little annoying because messages detected as SPAM were re- written with the SPAM Heading.

Last weekend I went to a pub here (In Bangalore). Boozed a llittle.
Two things to think about
- A unique drink that I had, Lambroghini. Lambroghini was a special drink served with flames. Had to sip the liquor from the flames while the liquid was on file.
- When returning from the restroom, the waiter told me that I had broke-in into a Ladies Room. Unfortunately no lady was there.
