"Geo-Greens" (Jan 31 2005 02:55 GMT) - From Thomas Friedman's latest column in the Times: I am a geo-green. The geo-greens believe that, going forward, if we put all our focus on reducing the price of oil -- by conservation, by developing renewable and alternative energies and by expanding nuclear power -- we will force more reform than by any other strategy. You give me $18-a-barrel oil and I will give you political and economic reform from Algeria to Iran. All these regimes have huge population bubbles and too few jobs. |

rlocate 0.2.0 (Default branch) (Jan 31 2005 02:55 GMT) - rlocate is an implementation of the "locate" command that is always up-to-date. The database that the original locate uses is usually updated only once a day, so newer files cannot be located right away. The behavior of rlocate is the same as slocate, but it also maintains a diff database that gets updated whenever a file is created or a directory is moved. The rlocate kernel module can be compiled only with Linux 2.6 kernels. |
