Aaron Swartz, a brilliant person, a sad ending
Aaron Swartz, computer programmer and activist, committed suicide on January 11th, aged 26 - http://www.economist.com/news/obituary/21569674-aaron-swartz-computer-programmer-and-activist-committed-suicide-january-11th-aged-26-aaron Swartz was well-known in technology circles for helping develop the RSS web feed format and the popular site Reddit, among other accomplishments. At the time of his death, he was facing 13 felony charges and up to 50 years in prison: Prosecutors had accused him of using MIT's network to download too many scholarly articles from an academic database called JSTOR. - Swartz's friends and family have said they believe he was driven to his death by a justice system that hounded him needlessly over an alleged crime with no real victims. [He was] forced by the government to spend every fiber of his being on this damnable, senseless trial, his partner Taren Stinebrickner-Kauffman said at the memorial, with no guarantee that he could exonerate himself at the end of it. http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/why-did-the-justice-system-target-aaron-swartz-20130123 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Swartz http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/13/technology/aaron-swartz-internet-activist-dies-at-26.html?_r=0 ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

However, the best support can be given by a pro who has a cooperation of the hosting company. Most of them will never cooperate, as they earn better (despite their awful quality of work) with an external person/company. So, your main channel - the hosting supplier, will probably not like you using it as a marketing channel, and you can hardly ever know (without some extensive search or cracking skills) which hosting service holds which customers. Ez 2011/11/14 Hetz Ben Hamo het...@gmail.com Hi, I'll give you one: Supporting hosting customers. Explanation: there are over 40 businesses here in Israel which provides VPS and dedicated server renting solutions. Most of those businesses (including mine) provide the machine to the customers as unmanaged, which means: the support you'll get relates *only* to network (if your VPS/Server) can communicate to and from the server The other part of support: shutting down/restart/pause/reset the server. Anything else - you're on your own. You can purchase a bank of hours for support or you can get emergency support for a higher price. There are, of course, some hosting businesses which will give you managed service, but in most case I would strongly recommend to get a freelance who will do the job for the client. Why? because they *SUCK AT IT* ! spreading root privileges all over the place, changing permissions of directories and files to 777, opening the internal firewall (if it exists, most of the time it's not) to everyone+his dog, and other nonsense stuff, and I'm also talking about the *BIG* providers which are also ISP - they suck, period! I think that this niche is mostly empty and people can get some jobs/contracts with such customers. If anyone want to register himself, I have a neutral forum for that. see here: http://hosts-forum.com/index.php Hope this helps, Hetz On Mon, Nov 14, 2011 at 3:02 PM, Omer Zak w...@zak.co.il wrote: We need some process for identifying the next niche to pursue, taking into account current skill set, customers/contacts, and effortexpense incurred in acquiring the competencies relevant for the next niche.

Find Free Software a New Voice
http://www.readwriteweb.com/enterprise/2011/10/why-fsf-founder-richard-stallm.php It's time for free software to find a new voice. Once again, Free Software Foundation founder Richard Stallman is putting his feet firmly in his mouth. This time, Stallman says that he's glad Steve Jobs is gonehttp://stallman.org/archives/2011-jul-oct.html#06_October_2011_%28Steve_Jobs%29. It's no secret that RMS and Steve Jobs held firmly opposed views when it comes to software freedom. I didn't expect Stallman to hold a vigil at an Apple store for Jobs, or even to say much of anything at all. But his ill-considered response does nothing for the cause of free software, and actually does a lot of damage. Stallman and the Free Software Foundation, have long expressed a very public dislike for Apple and Jobs. They've conducted campaigns against the iPadhttp://www.defectivebydesign.org/ipadand Stallman has a history of speaking out about the iPhone and other closed devices. Though I've often disagreed with the tone and language of Stallman's commentary on closed devices, he makes good points about software freedom. But his latest, posthumous, attack on Jobs demonstrates that Stallman has no business being spokesperson of anything ...

RMS, Hosts Must Support Boycott?
I would have been happy to say this thread had run it's course, but this response from RMS and (his apparent associate / organizer) Kobi Snitz is too much. Mr. Snitz advises both myself and RMS that in order to make sure the talk in Israel meets the standards of the BDS-supporting organization which is hosting RMS then the talks in Israel must be both sponsored by a BDS supporting organization and held in a hall owned/run by a BDS supporting organization. Snitz's words were, in order to not violate the boycott the sponsors and the place should be dissenting israeli groups and institutions. It seems that Mr. Snitz is a mathematician, anarchist, and leader in the BDS (boycotts, divestment and sanctions) against Israel movement. If you'd like to read more about Mr. Snitz you can use the links below. (Responses from Kobi Snitz and from RMS are also below.) http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/features/shin-bet-puts-israeli-anarchists-in-crosshairs-1.333140 - He was not the only anarchist the Jewish department dealt with that week. Five days earlier, Kobi Snitz was attending a conference when he received a call from an unidentified number. The caller told him, 'Shalom, this is Rona from the Shin Bet. I'm sure you've heard about me.' - She said she wanted to invite me for a friendly conversation and for us to exchange thoughts, said Snitz, 39, an anarchist activist and a mathematician. He asked whether he was being called in for an interrogation and when she said no, he said, no thanks. In 2009, Snitz served a 20-day sentence over an attempt a few years earlier to prevent the demolition of a house in Kharbatha, a village west of Ramallah. Two months ago, he was given another five-day sentence over a protest against the Second Lebanon War in 2006. http://www-users.math.umd.edu/~snitz/ http://israel-academia-monitor.com/index.php?type=large_advicadvice_id=7985page_data[id]=175cookie_lang=en http://www.radicalendar.org/calendar/all/all/display/85445/index.php?view=eventfulldate=2009-07-04 http://www.docstoc.com/docs/38551113/In-support-of-the-Palestinian-human-rights-community-call http://student.cs.ucc.ie/cs1064/jabowen/IPSC/php/authors.php?auid=4993 http://pipl.com/directory/name/Snitz/Kobi http://israel-academia-monitor.com/index.php?type=large_advicadvice_id=6410page_data[id]=175cookie_lang=enthe_session_id=0e356a3b68ae0e5dd29aefaf7ef56e77BLUEWEBSESSIONSID=21f827e2775005995748ebab68617a46 http://www.israel-academia-monitor.com/index.php?type=large_advicadvice_id=6189page_data[id]=162cookie_lang=hethe_session_id=cfbd3321f483be8d97e01a3d1db248bfBLUEWEBSESSIONSID=049669b2ba65f1c3fedf5a76c53d45aa --- fromKobi Snitz ksn...@gmail.com tor...@gnu.org dateMon, Jun 13, 2011 at 09:30 subjectRe: Finding a hall in Haifa mailed-bygmail.com signed-bygmail.com hide details 09:30 (1 hour ago) I am missing the earlier part of this correspondence but I can say that in order to not violate the boycott the sponsors and the place should be dissenting israeli groups and institutions.

RMS, Hosts Must Support Boycott?
After Dr. Richard M. Stallman (RMS) cancelled his lecture at the University of Haifa I tried to arrange an alternative meeting hall for him. Like some other people I thought that all that was required was not an Israeli university or perhaps not a prominent symbol of the state. Yesterday (9-Jun-11) RMS sent me a response which indicates that there is an even bigger problem. According to him, the Palestinians' boycott is so strict that they object to [him giving lectures hosted by] all organizations except those that support the boycott. My opinion is that under such circumstances RMS should refuse to speak, or at least have a sudden and unavoidable scheduling conflict which necessitates cancelling his visit. If this really is the situation then I will not be searching for lecture halls for him and will not be attending his lectures either.
