[ilugd] Join ICONS community: A new Internet informational portal from APNIC
Dear Members & Friends, APNIC launched a new information portal called 'ICONS'. This site will provide the Asia Pacific Internet community with a forum to exchange information and links about a variety of networking topics such as routing, network security, IXPs, and DNS. We would appreciate it if you could take a look at ICONS and consider adding some content to it. For example: - add your favourite collection of information to RFCs, Links, Tools or Mailing lists - upload presentations or papers to document section - comment on content already on ICONS We are hoping that ICONS will become an active and growing source of information for the community. Therefore, APNIC is keen to have the community involved in creating and commenting on content from the start of the project. To join the ICONS community please go to: http://icons.apnic.net/ Regards, -- Kapil Chawla Research & Liaison Officer ( South Asia) Asia Pacific Network Information Centre (APNIC) Tel: +61-7-3858-3100 PO Box 2131 Milton, QLD 4064 Australia Fax: +61-7-3858-3199 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Join ICONS community: A new Internet informational portal from APNIC ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/ Event: Freedel 2005, 17th & 18th September, 2005 - http://freedel.in

Dear Sir, ---SNIP- Thus, one can't unmount the CD cuz it's supposedly busy, and one can't eject the CD cuz it's mounted.

[ilugd] Giving up on scratched CDs and ejecting mounted CDs
Hi, Firstly, could anyone please tell me what's the philosophy behind 'locking' the CD-ROM tray when a CD has been mounted. Why can't I eject a mounted CD? Additionally, is there some way with which I may eject mounted CDs? Secondly, when the kernel encouters an I/O error while accessing a scratched CD, when does it give up? Why does it keep trying to access the scratched portion again & again, thus effectively hanging the process which initiated the read. Even when the initiating process is killed, the kernel keeps trying to access the CD drive. Thus, one can't unmount the CD cuz it's supposedly busy, and one can't eject the CD cuz it's mounted. The only solution being a reboot.

Most of the newer ones will let you do that (as others have observed), but even the ones that don't can often be used with gphoto (or digikam or whatever). And for cameras that use a removable SD/CF/whatever card, you can always just get a cheap USB card reader. I use a Canon EOS D30 all the time, and I've used others (Powershot, Casio Exilim something, etc.) without problems via gphoto2/digikam. -- ams ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/ Event: Freedel 2005, 17th & 18th September, 2005 - http://freedel.in

I will not explain - but its called "complicity of silence" (or something like that). But a crude example - if I come across an excellant piece of software - say Firefox and love using it but do not pass it around and do not make the effort to pass it around , then I am turning a blind eye and not enabling others to make the same choice, nor am I strenghtening the Free Software initiative, Infact my silence is allowing IE or MS$ a bit of a better chance - even if its just one more person. Even One person. > If they believe in the idea behind Free software, then they might want > to participate to a greater degree. But that is entirely their choice, > and if they believe or choose otherwise, *you* are not affected. Again, people are affected , for the same reason, when a group keeps silent about anything, when they are not proactive it does affect some one , some where. That they do no participate and cannot be held responsible for not participating is another issue and of course they are not legally liable. > > Of course, if you can convince them that it is a good idea for them to > participate more, and do more to promote freedom, that would be a good > thing.

The two complement each other. The enabling environment takes effort and that effort is often difficult. Individuals in the community have to overcome that negative feedback and still plug away.
