LaTeX. But I'm not an expert with either of them to be so sure.

The worst thing about it is that one cannot open multiple copies of the same program. Really? In Unity, at least you can open many instances but switching between the windows is little tricky. When the currently focused window is of program A and you want to switch to one of the many windows of program B, clicking the B's icon in the left panel (or using Alt+Tab to traverse to program B) will open the last accessed window of the program. Clicking the icon again will show a tiled view of all the windows of the program and you can click on the one you want. Using Alt+Tab to access the window that was not used last is more painful. You need to traverse to the app using Alt+Tab and press down arrow still holding the Alt key (or keep holding Alt key for few seconds) to get the tiled view of the open windows. May be Gnome 3 also has some similar ways, explore :) And I am used to having icons for all my open programs neatly lined up along the bottom of my screen, and clicking the one I want. Now I have to keep banging on the top right of my screen with the mouse to do that ... I'm used to Alt+Tab even before Unity and Gnome3 came and I find it much easier.

Nice. I am yet to find a better theme, so stopping at pagelines. With any theme, the header image height can be reduced very much, as in current era of widescreen laptops vertical space is to be used intelligently. In my screen, the logo and the menu bar together occupy almost half of the page height. Showing the three boxes below the menu only in home page should be enough, IMO. If you feel those things need to be visible always, it's better to put them in sidebar. Feel free to share your suggestions to keep the site content rich. For the content to be better visible for search engines, use appropriate tags. For example, as far as I could see, most of the sub-headings in the posts are simply bold text, rather than h2.

They believe such certificates add value to their profile and that it helps in their career growth; no different from the attitude of majority of students. Yes, it was shocking.

You are contradicting with your previous statement I am going to talk only about advanced use. You can flip the character case using the ~ (tilde) operator. Just move over the characters pressing it.

A web programming language , particularly web 2.0 like Ajax or jQuery or JSON/XML requires a thorough knowledge of the context; ie, web components. Those except XML are not languages. Ajax is just a technique to load content asynchronously using js. jQuery is a javascript library. JSON is a data format originated from javascript. Those are the browser, web server, DOM(Document Object Model) which is the XML/HTML view of the web page and of course javascript and CSS. DOM is not HTML view. As the name suggests, it's how the document (the web page) is represented as set of objects in your browser. In fact, that was the very first reason why firebug was developed - though one could simply ' view source code' of a page, which is the HTML view, there was no good way to visualize DOM. And JSON helps you obtain nested data structures(array of arrays) s/array/object In javascript, an array is an object but the converse is not true.

I'm typing this email in this keyboard, and it offers good feedback.. The display is a 14 1366x768. It has good brightness but poor viewing angles and lots of glare, thanks to the glossy finish. The lack of wifi is a huge disappointment. The battery lasted just under 3 hours (2:58) while doing light web-browsing and playing music (max. brightness and max. volume). Overall, the design is good with a good textured feel. It feels solid to hold, and doesn't have lots of flex. It has a dual boot with Windows 7 Professional and BOSS GNU/Linux. I haven't tested Windows 7 much. It has a Office 2010 Starter Edition and Microsoft Security Essentials (I doubt if that is an anti-virus.) It has few educational apps too. Most of the hard-disk space (~200 GB) is allocated for it. It logs in by default as a root user. The BOSS Linux 4.0, has GNOME 2.30 and OpenOffice.org 3.2. It has few educational apps like Thirukural and Tamil Keyboard. It also has the TN govt. textbooks for classes 11 and 12 in .pdf format. I had to update 8 packages after connecting to the internet.

I think RMS is full of mischief. He never cared for Corporates, but only for small users and the society. So I feel he purposely used the word Free to make it attractive to the layman. In India and anywhere, people will travel by car spending Rs. 100/- on petrol to save Rs.50/- on some purchase if there is a Free offer. I think I have some solid evidence for my claim that RMS is mischievous: Consider the word GNU - initially it was pronounced as New, so as to make it more appealing. In the actual word gnu which means an African antelope, 'g' is silent and so its pronunciation is similar to 'new'. To make the word GNU (that refers to the OS), it is pronounced like Gah-nu. You can notice RMS stressing the Gah part in his pronunciation of GNU. And consider the word Hurd which he used for his 'free' kernel project. It is very easy to confuse Hurd with Herd; in order to encourage the Herd mentality of the computing masses. So although RMS claims Free stands for Freedom, it is only the second or third meaning in the dictionary. The attempt is not to clarify, but to purposely and mischievously mislead to misinterpret. Ok, let it be. You have a better term to replace free? If you have one, we can at least ask him why he didn't choose that. Btw, puns and figures of speech are common in UNIX commands also.

Even though it might advocate the use of free software over proprietary software, I don't think it intends to ban the usage of proprietary software. No one is banning the usage of proprietary software here. Rather, the companies that make proprietary software play cheap tricks to ensure that computers are not usable without those proprietary software. And the intention of the free software movement is to protect users from such a lock, by developing free software equivalents. To give an example, NVIDIA provides its proprietary drivers for Linux and I use it because it works best for my hardware. So, the first thing I do after installation is nuke nouveau. This does not mean I have forgotten the point of free software. IMHO, If someone wants to use a proprietary product with FOSS, so be it, denying this right to him/her would indeed be against the FOSS philosophy. There is no single thing called FOSS philosophy, there is *Free software philosophy* and *Open source philosophy* which are very different, though the technical definitions sound almost the same.
