  • English to Bahasa

    Today, Paul Ooi would like to teach you some Bahasa in technology. So, here is (are) some basic word(s) you should learn.


    Hardware = barangkeras
    Software = baranglembut
    Joystick = batang gembira
    Plug and Play = cucuk dan main
    Port = lubang
    Server = pelayan
    Client = pelanggan

    If you have learnt the word(s), please translate this into Bahasa

    ENGLISH:
    That server gives a plug and play service to the client using either hardware or software joystick. The joystick goes into the port of the client.

    Done? Ok, let(‘s) match the translation

    BAHASA:
    Pelayan itu memberi pelanggannya layanan cucuk dan main dengan menggunakan batang gembira jenis keras atau lembut. Batang gembira itu dimasukkan ke dalam lubang pelanggan.

  • Google supports Open Source

    Google is giving support to open source project. Google summer of code support nmap, ubuntu, drupal, horde, asterisk, apache and MORE.

    Together with these partners, we chose 400 students from 49 countries to take part – and this from a pool of 8,744 applicants, so clearly there’s no shortage of talent. We contributed nearly $2 million to this effort via $4,500 grants to each of the participants (and a $500 donation per student to the participating organizations).

    Nmap’s lead developer, Fyodor Vaskovich, told us that Summer of Code developers “made major improvements to the Nmap Security Scanner, including a more powerful graphical interface and a next-generation remote operating system detection framework.” To that we say: excellent. Here’s a partial list of participants and projects, and we even threw together a map so people can see how global this program was.
