The history of the shell

I found this the other day in my RSS inbox - interesting read:The UNIX shell has been around for more than 35 years now—through evolution and enhancements—and is still going strong!

Το Newton και το 2010!

Όσοι από εσάς έχετε ένα Newton, θα έχετε πρόβλημα το 2010.Ο λόγος είναι πολύ απλός: όταν δημιούργησαν το Newton το εσωτερικό ρολόι που κρατάει τσίλιες και λέει στα υπόλοιπά προγράμματα τι ώρα είναι θα σταματήσει να λειτουργεί το

Video Game Fridays: Sonic & Tails (GG)

After the punishment suffered by the original Sonic game on the game gear, I went back and got sonic 2. It's like super mario on Nintendo systems, you gotta have them all!Sonic 2 played like the original sonic, so once I had beaten the first sonic game I was in the groove, and I was able to play this game without the same level of frustration that I had with the original sonic. Of course I also had

Χρονοδιάγραμμα της σειράς των Newton

Τις προάλλες είδα ένα χρονοδιάγραμμα για το πότε εκδόθηκε το κάθε μοντέλο Newton. Αρκετά ενδιαφέρον. Η συσκευή μου έχω είναι μοντέλο 2100. Δεν είχε και πολύ στην αγορά. Με το που τελείωνα λύκειο ακύρωσαν όλο το project.

Television Tuesdays: Farscape

The iPhone Pro

I saw the following mockup recently on a number of websites.Of course it's a fake, but it's rather interesting. What I like about it is the front facing camera for video conferencing, the keyboard and joypad buttons, and what looks to be a higher resolution camera with good optiocs on in.Would I buy one of these?

Φοβερά γράμματα!!!
