Have you ever wondered where and why the term ‘BUG’, used to indicate a failure in a computer program, was born?
“A software bug (or just “bug”) is an error, flaw, mistake, “undocumented feature”, failure, or fault in a computer program that prevents it from behaving as intended”
Thomas Edison and Grace Hopper are two names that stand out when talking about the etymology of the term ‘Bug’.
Thomas often recurred to the term in his letters to express ‘little faults and difficulties’.
“The invention of the term is often erroneously attributed to Grace Hopper, who publicized the cause of a malfunction in an early electromechanical computer.”
According to Hopper, the cause of the malfunction was an insect.
“Hopper was not actually the one who found the insect, as she readily acknowledged. The operators who did find it (including William “Bill” Burke, later of the Naval Weapons Laboratory, Dahlgren Va.), were familiar with the engineering term and, amused, kept the insect with the notation ‘First actual case of bug being found.’ “

I can honestly say that Fly For Fun (Flyff) is currently the best FREE massive multiplayer online role playing game.
The game has it’s own fantasy theme. You start as a Vagrant, which is a newbie class (I think I can say that) and at lvl 15 you can choose your first job.
There are 4 different options for the first job…Magician (mage), Mercenary (warrior), Assist (healer), and Acrobat (ranger). They all are pretty cool specially Assist I may say.
You keep leveling and at lvl 20 you can finally have, probably one of the most wanted items in the game…the flying broom/board (you can get other stuff, such as flying bikes and carpets, in gpotaro store…but real money here)…and then you can fly…and it’s pretty amazing.
You can make your character unique, since it’s you who choose the stat you want to upgrade each time you level up (stamina, strength, intelligence…). The game also has a pet system which makes you able to have pets like dragons and unicorns to help you in battle.
At lvl 60 you can choose your second job. This second job is probably the big objective in the game, since your character gets even more powerfull…you’re elite.
The game graphics are also pretty damn good with a ‘cartoon-manga style’ xD , and the in-game music it’s awesome…it really gets you into it.
Of course the game is not perfect…some things that bother me is that there isn’t much to do and you can get a bit tired after playing the game for a while. The equipment is also very limited (unless you buy unique equipment at gpotato store) and sometimes you can feel like everyone looks the same.
However, you can get pretty addicted to the game and really have fun. If you don’t know it just give it a try…I think you won’t regret it.
To get more information about the game and see a list with the full in-game features, visit the official site at flyff.gpotato.com.

So the last post was about accessing your Windows files in Linux. This one is about accessing your Linux files in Windows.
In this case it’s pretty simple…however in Windows we have a few limitations (really?).
All you have to do is…nothing. DiskInternals Linux Reader will do everything for you. However, you are only able to read (I guess that’s why they call it Linux Reader) from the partition, what means you can not write to it.
First of all, DiskInternals Linux Reader is absolutely free. Secondly, the program provides for read-only access and does not allow you to make records in Ext2/Ext3 file system partitions. This guarantees that the interference in an alterative file system will not affect the work of Linux later. Apart from this, it is necessary to note, that it gives you an opportunity to use common Windows Explorer for extracting data.
So now you are able to view and extract your Linux files in Windows.
I think it’s great really, even though you can not write. It’s freeware and it just makes it very easy for us to get files from Linux to Windows.
You can get more information and download the program at: diskinternals.com
Have fun!

Please note: crwld.org is not responsible for any damage you may do to your computer by following the instructions bellow.
So…you have a dual boot of Windows and Debian and you want to mount a Windows partition in your Debian distro, so that you are able to access windows files and folders?
First of all, you need to know where your Windows partition is. To do this run the following command in your terminal as root:
fdisk -l
You’ll see a list whit all your partitions. Usually, the Windows partition is the first one. In my case it’s /dev/hda1.
Now, we create a new directory in Debian to mount our Windows partition. Again, as root:
mkdir /mnt/windows
And finally, we mount our partition:
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows -t ntfs -w
You can run “man mount” to a learn some more about the mount command.
If you wish to unmount it:
umount /mnt/windows
And it’s done. You can now access your Windows files and folders in your Debian system.
This may also work with other GNU/Linux distributions.
If you prefer, you can also download the following bash script to mount your partition for you:
mount_win.sh (right click -> save as)
Don’t forget to change “/dev/hda1” to your Windows partition and “/mnt/windows” if you wish to create the partition in a different directory.
To run it just navigate to the directory where you saved it and do “. mount_win.sh” as root.
Take care!

If you’re facing the problem of your touchpad mouse being too slow in your linux distribution then here is your solution (it worked for me and a few other people). This was tested in Debian but may also work in other linux distributions.
All you have to do is to edit your xorg.conf file and add the following (don’t forget to create a backup):
Section “InputDevice”
Identifier “Synaptics Touchpad”
Driver “synaptics”
Option “SendCoreEvents” “true”
Option “Device” “/dev/input/psaux” (or whatever you have here)
Option “Protocol” “auto-dev”
Option “ZAxisMapping” “4 5″
Option “Emulate3Buttons” “on”
Option “SHMConfig” “on”
Option “LeftEdge” “85″
Option “RightEdge” “1010″
Option “TopEdge” “85″
Option “BottomEdge” “730″
Option “FingerLow” “25″
Option “FingerHigh” “30″
Option “MaxTapTime” “180″
Option “MaxTapMove” “220″
Option “VertScrollDelta” “100″
Option “MinSpeed” “0.10″
Option “MaxSpeed” “0.45″
Option “AccelFactor” “0.2″
Option “HorizScrollDelta” “0″
EndSection
This should do the trick 
If you don’t know how to edit your xorg.conf file then here is a possible way of doing it:
1- Open your terminal, login as root, and navigate to /etc/X11.
2- Now, you can use Vi (text editor, usually already installed) to edit the file in the console. Just write vi xorg.conf. Now you are able to edit the file. Save it and you’re done.
If you do not know how to work with Vi you can check this link or try other editor.
3- Reboot so the system loads the new configuration and you should now have a faster touchpad.
You can also edit speed values at your need.
Take care!

earthmine is indexing reality.
We’re creating an entirely new datamine about our earth that is open, connected, flexible, immersive and scalable. A spatially accurate, truly 3D inventory of our world. It just may be the link that’s been missing between information and places.
Well…I don’t know but it seems kind of ambitious this project, I mean…the entire world???
If they can truly make it, then I’m looking forward this, and I think they’ll win…let’s say…a lot of money.
