"Christian tradition has never upheld this right ( on ownership, on the right to private property) as absolute and untouchable, on the contrary, has always understood this right within the broader context of the right common to all to use the goods of the whole of creation: the right to private property is subordinatd to the right to common use, to the fact that goods are meant for everyone."

- Laborem Exercens, His Holiness Pope John Paul II

"We imagine that there is a gap between the world of our private fantasies & the possibilities of meaningful action & so it becomes easy to talk & talk on what is lacking, to discourse on the end, & yet feel impotent. "What's to do." But this gap is a measure not so much of desires or depression or impotence but of ourselves. It has been the continual failure of Marxist aesthetics to insist that this gap is simply another illusory part of our commodity lives It is at the root of our collectivity."

- Charles Bernstein "Three or Four things I Know about Him"

so it becomes easy to code & code on what is lacking, to CVS on the end, & yet feel impotent. "what's to make money or what's to make a better world" But this gap is a measure not so much of "which language is better or which OS is better or which chip is cheaper and better" or depression or impotence but of ourselves. It has been the continual failure of GNU/Linux aesthetics to insist that this gap is simply Free or Proprietary of our commodity code, it is at the root of our collectivity, namely, programmers spent 90% of their hours coding and 10% of their hours thinking that other segments of industry and our society at large have to adopt programmer's methodology through their programs.

free software movement must extend its creativity and channel its exuberant energy into changing social and economic landscape. "Immense development of technological means is an advatageous and positive phenomenon, on condition that the objective dimension of work does not gain the upper hand over the subjective dimension, depriving man of his dignity and inalienable rights or reducing them."

Scary

if Linux booting under 5 seconds is scary, what would you call the incident of finding your Dell PowerEdge 6850 server RAID 10 RedHat AS 3 Update 5 OS's hard drive /dev/sda's partition table simply evaporated (non-existed any more) after a normal 'init 6' ? No apparent system hardware faulted... After recover the OS, re-install Oracle Cluster Ready Service and re-done Oracle 10g R1 -> R2 instance upgrade, everything seems to be working again... but still.. that's scary when I know for 99.9% sure that I'm the only one rooted on the box...

Other weirdos: can't get Oracle ASM instance to connect to Cluster Manager even if $ORACLE_HOME/bin/ocssd.bin is running after $ORACLE_HOME/bin/localconfig reset ... what makes dbua working and NOT working? Acronis TrueImage Echo Server would give read error when I use 'trueimagecmd --partition: --filename: -create' to backup raw partition that contains SYSAUX, SYSTEM tablespace under Oracle ASM ...

power outage. corrupted superblock and group descriptor on db server root file system. tried "mke2fs -n /dev/sda1" e2fsck with an alternate superblock didn't work. looked at "dumpe2fs /dev/sda1|more"...

This worth a try:

dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/data/sda1.bak.dd

mke2fs -S /dev/sda1
