[Haifux] Wanted: JavaScript ninjas and Python tamers
Good day list members, We here at Kaminario are desperately looking for JavaScript ninjas and Python tamers (not necessary at the same time). Speaking seriously, we are starting new exciting project in the area of Web / Cloud scale, data warehousing and mining using the latest and greatest technologies. The project is running in startup-in-startup environment - you'll be part of small, agile, 5 member team, while all together being a part of our globally emerging startup company. Last time I was looking for a job, I was desperate to find such openings at North, so I think it's an opportunity. If you are up to the challenge and wants to work in great environment in Yoqneam, please send your CV to me. Here are the job descriptions: Senior Frontend: http://bit.ly/1k1G4LT Senior Backend: http://bit.ly/1Wr6EcV -- Zaar ___ Haifux mailing list Haifux@haifux.org http://haifux.org/mailman/listinfo/haifux
Re: [Haifux] Though I walk through the valley of empty queue, I will fear no lack of talks: for thou art with me
Yes, I've forgot to mention that attendees should have at least some knowledge of Python. I don't think doing lecture in "Python for beginners" will do any benefit with regards to my lectures. If people never programmed Python, one beginners' lecture will not be enough to make them ready for advanced Python. And if they did some Python programming it will be enough for my lectures.

thing. I'll be glad to hear about both PCI and PCIe. And your lecture

Leave it running in the loop for a week and keep using your pc as usuall. If nothing crashes, I would be pretty confident in a such setup.

Re: [Haifux] X terminal
Just a few notes about NX - its a remote desktop software for Linux. They have a client for mostly all platforms (including Windows of course) and server software that consists of free and non-free part. freenx project aims to replace that non-free part. There is also an alternative to freenx - neatx project sponsored by Google. NX is very network efficient - one can have 5 full KDE desktops with 1680x1050 resolution on 1500/500 kbit line. NX also supports mounting remote desktop media locally and redirecting remote sound to local (client) computer. Printer exposure is also supported 2010/8/10 Shahar Dag : > Hello > > Thanks for all the people who send me suggestions. > I will try to summarize: > > http://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/en/, do not need installation.

Re: [Haifux] Whole disk encryption, because it costs nothing?
I'm encrypting both of my servers "till the last track" - i.e. every LVM volume. Only /boot is left unencrypted. This way I do not need to care whether I've left something uncovered. Sure there is a performance penalty. But they run pretty smooth considering that they are under constant heavy load (developers + NX + C++ coding). For example, on 8GB RAM computer with QUAD Core 3.2Ghz Intel Core 2, I can compile Firefox in 7 minutes with make -j 10.
