Imagine...

Looooong time no entry, huh? Blame it to WoW! And partially to the kind of project I'm working on right now. I perfectly know how to blend CSS, HTML and some ASP.NET code. As a proof, go visit this site. It's just a basic scheduler. Nothing fancy.

An unlikely comment from a Japanese professor...

You filed a lawsuit against Toshiba in 2004, alleging that you deserved compensation for your discovery. You're not the only Japanese inventor who has felt that way. Why did you sue Toshiba, and where does your suit stand now?

I can't say much about the case. My lawyer is handling it. I didn't ask for royalties. I asked that I be paid 1 billion yen [around $9 million], which I felt was my share of what the invention was worth. The Tokyo District Court hasn't reached a verdict.

I never received more than a pittance for my discovery. Yet, thanks to flash-memory chips, Toshiba is one of Japan's only thriving semiconductor makers. I'm glad Toshiba is profiting off [flash]. But I sued because I wanted to make a point: Unless Japanese companies treat their engineers better, this country will have no future. If they copied U.S. companies' incentives for engineers, Japanese tech companies might be better off than they are, now that Taiwanese and Korean companies have caught up. Many top execs in Japan just can't relate to the engineers.

This is what you get if you complete FFX-2 100%.

Awesome!

I found this one interesting.

Embracing Darwin

Finally, we now have an Apple in the house with Mac OS X 10.4 code named "Tiger". The first time it booted, I tried looking for the terminal at once. Everything's all new and I haven't even popped up the entire hood. However, I may not have the luxury of time but what interests me most is whenever I click on the terminal, it reads "Welcome to Darwin!" and gives me a bash prompt. Another UNIX at my disposal...

But how do you change the hostname if you can't log in as root? First, activate the root user by issuing the command "sudo passwd root" at the terminal. If it's your first time to issue the "sudo" command, you'll be presented with warnings but nontheless it's your own system so why care? Just type in the password you used during installation of the system. Then you will be prompted to enter the new root password. Then just issue "hostname name-of-host-you want-to-set". It's that simple.
