This is about Insync software and Google Drive.

So I try it and is very good to have it in your linux distro.

The Insync software let you to have files from google drive on your linux , sync and make conversion from Google Docs format to LibreOffice.

You have also one tray icon , something like Dropbox with a nice menu.

The application from Insync comes for Fedora , Ubuntu and Debian.

The menu of tray icon cam be show with right click and this allow you to make all changes.

Is a great tool but if you sum all prices from all applications and google plans ( $4.99/month for 100Gb) will see this will take some money from you.

Marketing or dodge trade...?

The last years will come with many features for consumers.

The website reginele.ro come with this "dodge trade"

I told myself :"Maybe is an error".

Not realy. The marketing is make to distort the consumer.

Why? If you create an account on MailDirect then will have receive 0.5 ¢ and 1 ¢ / mail (you need 100$ to cash the money).

The big error is : most of the offers are exaggerated ...

Honestly, you should review the marketing policy.

I'm sure most users of Linux operating systems are wise enough to avoid such problems.

The big question is: if we are adept of open source infos ...then why not we have the same expressions in trades ?

Sorry about this post . Regards.

Using cat command to see all source code from one folder.

You can see all content of your files using cat command.

I created one function named catt in my .bashrc file.

This is the function you can change to show any type of files not just javascript.

That allow you to working in same folder with many files and see the changes.

If you have another idea about how to see changes in all source of code then just send me one mail or comment.

function catt(){
    for i in *.js;
        do echo "__""$i""__";
        echo "--------------------------";
        cat "$i" -n -b;
        echo "--------------------------";
        done ;
}

And this is result output for all javascript from my node.js folder.

--------------------------
__serv.js__
--------------------------
     1 var sys = require("sys"),
     2 my_http = require("http");
     3 my_http.createServer(function(request,response){
     4  sys.puts("I got kicked");
     5  response.writeHeader(200, {"Content-Type": "text/plain"});
     6  response.write("Hello World");
     7  response.end();
     8 }).listen(8080);
     9 sys.puts("Server Running on 8080");
--------------------------
__test.js__
--------------------------
     1 var sys = require("sys");
     2 sys.puts("Hello World");
--------------------------

One problem can be the number of files parse by this function.

In this case you will not able to see all content of files. Will be to much for you.

But for settings files will work great.

Why I love another browser

I have some feelings about IE . I like my browser and with the next article show us the true.

Microsoft's next version of Internet Explorer might just support WebGL, a standard for accelerated 3D graphics on the Web that the company previously has attacked as a security risk.

A leaked version of the next version of Windows, code-named Blue, came with a version of IE11, and developer's scrutiny of the browser shows evidence of WebGL.

"It seems like WebGL interfaces are defined but not functional at this time," said Web developer and author Francois Remy in a blog post this week. That means that the IE11 build has some infrastructure in place to support WebGL, but lacks actual support at this stage.

This can be good but can be also an easy way to take some new clients.
The big problem is " What will see in this service?".
I don't expect to see something about the secrets of Intel assembly code or development team, but can be something nice.

GNOME Developer Experience Hackfest 2013

This week I’m attending the Developer Experience hackfest in Brussels.
This week Red Hat and the GNOME Foundation giving you the chance to attend the Developer Experience hackfest in Brussels.
The goal of the hackfest is to improve the overall application developer experience.
There are three main areas of work we suggest for this hackfest:

• Tooling (Anjuta, Monodevelop, application bundling, intltool, gtk-doc, autofoo and friends...)
• Developer docs and mindshare (unified online/offline API reference UI, app developer community building...)
• Further platform needs (improvement of data-driven apps and other needs with an unclear answer)
• Application bundling and sandboxing, the application as the first class concept in the kernel

 -h, --help             Display this help text and exit
 -q, --quiet            Less verbose output

Vulnerability? google paypal facebook and internal ip

Do you have any idea about an Internal IP Address or a Private IP Address that too assigned for Multinational Companies? Yeah, today we are gonna discuss about Internal IP or Private IP address Disclosure.
Disclosure of an Internal IP like 192.168.*.* or 172.16.*.* , can really Impact? Most security researchers call it as "bull shit" vulnerability. But when it comes to impact calculation even if the server is behind a firewall or NAT, an attacker can see internal IP of the remote host and this may be used to further attacks.

Linux - Fedora and Android make read-only file system.

I don't know what is the problem with Linux - Fedora and Android OS.
After I put my USB cable seam Fedora make from write disk to read-only.
Maybe the Android when scan the device set to read-only.
So you can get some error like this when you use the chown command:

chown: changing ownership of ...: Read-only file system

That can be one big problem when you want to copy files on your tablet.
I found a solution, just use remount.

# mount -o rw,remount /media/disk

If you want to make read-only, use:

# mount -o ro,remount /media/disk

That will solve this issue.
