Message <83ghstg47gr106mtt5vuqsmm2n070oh@4ax.com has been fingerprinted by Tristan Alder: no i nie pomogło... Pewnie głównie dlatego, że środowisko Xów jest mi obce i nie wiem o co spytać.
Tak jakbyś szukał informacji dla Windows, tylko dorzuć +Linux w zapytaniu ;)

A w Linuksie odwrotnie -- mało co idzie od kopa i trzeba grzebać.
Inaczej. W Linuksie nic nie idzie od kopa. Ale przynajmniej trudność rozwiązywania problemów jest stała, w Windowsowym podejściu "per automata" potrafi nagle poszybować sky-high.
TeX przylazł z Uniksa. Jest jakby filozoficznie z nim związany, po prostu taki sam sposób postrzegania świata. Bogaty, ale trudny.
Jak wszystko do składu tekstu. Zwłaszcza jak nie służy do wizualnego składu.

Ukułem sobie taką małą teorię ;) Wszystkie programy z GUI są łatwiejsze w obsłudze od tych "command line driven". W sumie to LyX też udostępnia obsługę "na klikacza".
Nie. Trzeba wiedzieć jaki manual, do jakiego narzędzia. Często te narzędzia są w 1000 wersji i wiedza (a raczej niewiedza) o ich istnieniu i działaniu jest momentem zaporowym w wykorzystaniu.
Jak wszędzie. Manuale często zawierają odnośniki do narzędzi tematycznie podobnych. Można też w shellu napisać "ps" i zobaczyć co potrafi dopełnić. Kluczem jest tutaj "psbook", no ale to trza wpierwdy widzieć, panocku :( Można też zapytać na jakiejś grupie TeX-owej.

Ta... Dla ludzi w tym siedzących to jest proste. Dla mnie Xy stanowią zagadkę. Pewnie za jakiś czas je poznam, ale to inna opowieść.

Jeżeli się znasz, to administracja jest faktycznie w Linuksie niebiańsko prosta i wygodna. Wymaga jednak sporej wiedzy niestety. W Windows masz wiele ograniczeń, ale za to łatwiej jest połapać to całościowo.
Co do używania (Workstation) to cieżko powiedzieć, bo wciąż oprócz serwerów nie widzę zastosowania dla tego systemu... Może jak Xy bardziej rozpracuję, to zmienię zdanie. | (gdy tylko w Windows coś nie idzie "od kopa" też potrzebna jest spora | wiedza nt. architektury PC, budowy systemu itp.) | Zgoda.

Nie... Siedziałem kiedyś nad modemem. Nie chciał działać. Ale po zabawie w przekładanie zworek w końcu ruszył.

W sumie jest jakaś racja... Ale dla ZU jednak ważne jest, że typowe przypadki rozwiązują się automagicznie.

Dlaczego? Z takimi Corelami już sobie radzę o wiele lepiej.
Zwłaszcza jak nie służy do wizualnego składu.
Nie tylko. Również dlatego, że jest zbyt poszatkowany.

Poza tym dla Foster w momencie tej konwersacji liczyla sie glownie jedna rzecz - nie wyjdziemy z panic room, a nikt tu nie wejdzie bez naszego dzialania. Otwarcie drzwi po prostu nie wchodzilo w gre z zadnego powodu. Niemniej wydaje mi sie oczywiste, ze jednak trzeba bylo zapytac CO jest niby w tym pomieszczeniu.
Gdyby to było kilka megabaksów np. w sejfie, do którego Whittaker zna klucz (nie dałoby się tego z góry wyeliminować), zaproponowałbym deal: wszyscy napastnicy siedzą na parterze przed kamerą tak, że ich widzę, ja otwieram drzwi, wywalam połowę, napastnicy przychodzą i spadają.

Ja jakoś też nie bardzo. W dodatku Foster za mało się tego bała - dała córce koc przeciwpożarowy i liczyła na to, że to wystarczy? Do ochrony przed eksplozją? Gimme a break or I'll give you a fincher.

Temat: obraz zapierający dech w piersiach
Odpowiem ci po angielsko Bo z twojego takiego pol na pol pisania wynika ze angielski kumasz a mi jest
znacznie latwiej w tym jezyku:
The state of Israel is built on a lie, is defended and maintained by lies and
supported by liars. As we are seeing, lies are incredibly hard to prop up and
continue in the face of truth. Lies need constant defense, while truth simply
is. Without Israel, all the time, resources, effort and blood that goes into
defending the lie wouldn't be necessary.
When God gave the land to the Israelites (an important distinction from
Israelis) he told them to kill everything. Of course, they didn't, for whatever
reason, but they didn't do what God told them to do. Now, Israel is quite
capable and would dearly love to plow the Palestinians into the ocean. Killing
them all would be the answer to their problem. But now they can't because they
no longer have the mandate from God, and in that finale the hypocrisy of their
action would itself be the song of the infamous fat lady.
So they made their problem, our problem. The terrorism facing the world today
is an Israeli invention. It is a tactic embraced by the Israelis from the very
beginning as pointed out by a former Israeli Prime Minister and veteran of the
Israeli terror campaign against the British...
“Neither Jewish ethics nor Jewish tradition can disqualify terrorism as a means
of combat.” (Yitzhak Shamir, Journal of the LEHI, the Stern Gang, Summer, 1943)

“Every time you blow up a British arsenal, or wreck a British jail, or send a
British railroad-train sky high, or rob a British bank, or let go with your
guns and bombs at the British betrayers and invaders of your homeland,” he
gloated, “the Jews of America make a little holiday in their hearts.” he
concluded by assuring his ‘brave friends, we are working to help you. We are
raising funds for you....”43(Zaar,, op,cit,pp 241-242 as quoted in Bitter

Florida votes - and the talk is of another 'fix'
By David Usborne in Miami
06 November 2002
US elections
The old man turning up to vote yesterday in the Little Havana district of Miami
had a secret weapon that would enable him avoid what every Floridian had been
dreading – waiting in line for ever. He lifted his beige polo shirt to reveal a
full colostomy bag and demanded to be let inside at once.
The tactic was not necessary since the wait was only about 10 minutes, despite
worries about the new touch-screen voting machines. Nor did it work. Suddenly,
everyone had a medical ailment. A woman in front of him opened her blouse to
reveal a large scar from recent heart surgery.
At this polling station, in a centre for mentally disabled children, the
atmosphere was one of a military operation. No fewer than 20 election clerks
were watching over voters using 19 new voting screens. Seen as a "hot spot" for
possible problems, it was also the first stop in a very long day for Steve
Shiver, the Miami county manager. He liked what he saw.
"It appears everything is going smoothly," he said, recording the scene with a
video camera because his job was on the line if the voting went badly. "It
really paid off that we did our homework."
While the political stakes in the state were sky high – Jeb Bush, the brother
of the President, contesting the governorship with his Democratic challenger
Bill McBride – it was the success of the balloting that worried Floridians, who
became the butt of jokes worldwide after the fiasco of the 2000 presidential
race. A first run with the new voting machines on primary day in September also
went disastrously.
Thus the preparations for yesterday were extraordinarily intense, especially
here in Miami-Dade and in its neighbouring county, Broward. Between them, the
two counties, which are heavily Democrat, delayed the result of the Gore-Bush
race by five weeks. "It's like getting ready for a war," Florida's Secretary of
State, Jim Smith, said before the vote.
Both counties set up emergency centres to respond to any problems. They
dragooned thousands of county workers to staff the polling stations in 12-hour
shifts and they prepared for a deluge of observers – not just from the United
States, but from countries as unlikely as Armenia and Bosnia.
All sorts of problems loomed. Would the workers operate the "iVotronic"
machines correctly? Would the computers, which cost Florida $32m (£21m) to
install, work? Could they cope with an expected high turn-out? How long would
voters take? (In Broward, they had to vote on 45 issues, including amendments
to the state constitution).
At midday, the overall pictured seemed encouraging. Janet Reno, the former US
attorney general who lost to Mr McBride in the chaotic September primary,
emerged smiling from a polling station in suburban Miami. "It was smooth," she
reported. "They were prepared for me this time." Broward officials expressed
delight on hearing of problems with the new machines in Georgia and South
Dakota.
But one radio station took calls from Floridians claiming difficulties with
machines that registered votes for the wrong candidate. "I voted for McBride
but the machine counted it as Bush," one enraged listener told talk-show host
Neil Rogers on WQAM radio. "I tell you now, this election is fixed," Mr Rogers
fulminated in response.
The same tale was reported by David Templer, 40, a lawyer who voted early in
North Miami Beach. "It was very disturbing," he complained, saying that his
vote for Mr McBride kept getting registered for Mr Bush. But Gloria Nunez
Turkel, a former Reno election worker sent to Little Havana as an observer for
the Democratic Party, wore a relaxed smile. She said she was impressed with the
preparations, which included having a demonstration machine for people to
experiment on before actually voting.
"It's going beautifully. I'm actually quite thrilled," Ms Turkel declared. Just
about the only thing that had really caught her eye was the spat between
colostomy man and heart-surgery woman

If America wanted war it wouldn't ask anybody. What's the purpose to talk to
Koreans if you don't care about them. Lies are easy to disprove it's enough to
open questionable facilities and say - we are right - youlied. Instead NK
decided to EXPELL UN inspectors and EXIT non-proliferation treaty.
> Ethical? Give an ETHICAL reason for Bush to stay in power.
He won election acording to American law, his party decisively won parlamentary
election as a sign of aproval of his policies, he has sky-high aproval ratings
among Americans, and if Americans don't like him they will have chance to elect
somebody else in 2004.
Is any of above true about Saddam.
> Saddam wasnt
> elected? May I remind you that NEITHER WAS BUSH?
Of course - Bush was elected.
> Saddam Hussein is the leader

So according to your logic any thug, who can usurp power in the country, he
became thanu ntouchable LEADER OF THE SOUVEREIGN state thus he can kill
opposition, imprison and torture his population, invade other countries and he
can COUNT ON YOUR UNQUESTIONING support. Congratulations!!!!

This is called exchange of favors, NK can become democracy as India or Israel,
or at least friendly ally as Pakistan, than nuclear program will be more
pallatable (but still not liked) in the US. What moron would think that US will
ignore nuclear capacity in a country wehemently hostile to US as Korea or Iraq.

What an argument.

Fighting for existence of Korea!!!!!!

It's not matter of belief - text of the speach is easilly available - you lie
like a dog.

I guess you don't understand meaning of words you are using. Tell me who was
actually MURDERED by Americans. It's diferent than argument about CIA
involvement.
> Typical American shit. Forget your genocides. I spit on you.
Again, open dictionary, read the definition of MURDER and GENOCIDE and than
give me names of the people who were the subject of MURDER or GENOCIDE. Death
in combat or even unintended causalties due to military action DO NOT fulfill
the criteria. Besides you can spit until you turn purple - it has no value as
an argument.

UN is not a country as you most likely know, and the mandate of UN is perfectly
consistent with prevention of nuclear proliferation. And all other countries
are subject of UN supervision in this respect - most of them does not percive
it humiliating - unless they have something to hide.

If US is bend on war did it really need help of Korean Army? I wish to see
Koren Army in action after American withdraw.

Temat: Question to English speaking Poles
Question to English speaking Poles Do you think the world today would be better or worse off with out Israel?
The question is not to imply we should eliminate Israel at this time after
some 56 years in existence. The question is, if Israel was never created how
would our world look today. Tell us what you think and more important why.
Here is my take from American Perspective:
The state of Israel is built on a lie, is defended and maintained by lies and
supported by liars. As we are seeing, lies are incredibly hard to prop up and
continue in the face of truth. Lies need constant defense, while truth simply
is. Without Israel, all the time, resources, effort and blood that goes into
defending the lie wouldn't be necessary.
When God gave the land to the Israelites (an important distinction from
Israelis) he told them to kill everything. Of course, they didn't, for
whatever reason, but they didn't do what God told them to do. Now, Israel is
quite capable and would dearly love to plow the Palestinians into the ocean.
Killing them all would be the answer to their problem. But now they can't
because they no longer have the mandate from God, and in that finale the
hypocrisy of their action would itself be the song of the infamous fat lady.
So they made their problem, our problem. The terrorism facing the world today
is an Israeli invention. It is a tactic embraced by the Israelis from the
very beginning as pointed out by a former Israeli Prime Minister and veteran
of the Israeli terror campaign against the British...
“Neither Jewish ethics nor Jewish tradition can disqualify terrorism as a
means of combat.” (Yitzhak Shamir, Journal of the LEHI, the Stern Gang,
Summer, 1943) quoted in Facts and Fables, by Gliffor A. Wright, p.46.
“Every time you blow up a British arsenal, or wreck a British jail, or send a
British railroad-train sky high, or rob a British bank, or let go with your
guns and bombs at the British betrayers and invaders of your homeland,” he
gloated, “the Jews of America make a little holiday in their hearts.” he
concluded by assuring his ‘brave friends, we are working to help you. We are
raising funds for you....”43(Zaar,, op,cit,pp 241-242 as quoted in Bitter
Harvest by Sami Hadawi p.62).
A partial list of events the world could have done without...
The first airplane hijacked was committed by Israel in 1954 when a civilian
Syrian airliner was hijacked immediately after taking off.(Walid Khalidi,
Palestine Reborn)
The first car bomb was an invention of the Zionists(ENC,90-91).
Grenades in cafes, first used against Palestinians in Jerusalem on 17 March,
1937(Enc,90-91).
Delayed-action, electrically timed mines in crowded market-places: first
against Palestinians in Haifa, 6 July, 1938.(Enc,90-91)
Assassination of government official outside Palestine: first used against
the British in Cairo, 6 November, 1944 when Lord Moyne, Secretary of State,
was assassinated by the Stern Gang. Yitzhak Shamir, a member of the Irgun and
later leader of the Stern Gang was behind the plan(Enc. and Bitter Harvest).
Taking of hostages to put pressure on a government: first used against the
British in Tel Aviv, 18 June, 1946(Encyclopedia,p.67).
Blowing up government offices with their civilian employees and visitors:
first used against the British in Jerusalem, 22 July, 1946. The toll was 91
Britons, and 46 injured in King David Hotel. Begin, who masterminded and
carried out the attack admitted that the massacre was coordinated with and
carried out under the instruction of the Haganah(Enc.pp.267-8).
Booby-trapped suitcase: first used against the British Embassy in Rome, 13
October, 1946.
Booby-trapped car parked alongside buildings: first used against the British
in Sarafand (east of Jaffa) on 5 December, 1946.
Flogging of hostages: first used against the British in Tel Aviv, Natanya and
Rishon, 29 December, 1946.
Letter-bombs sent to politicians outside Palestine: first used against
Britain when twenty letter-bombs were sent from Italy to London between 4 and
6 June, 1947(Enc.Palestine.68-69).

Temat: Sikorski: Putin uznał Katyń za zbrodnię stalino...
In denial - Russia revives a vicious lie "IMAGINE Nazi rule in Germany surviving for decades, with Hitler
undefeated in war and succeeded on his death in the early 1950s by a
series of lacklustre party hacks who more or less disowned
his “excesses”. Imagine then a “reform Nazi” (call him Michael
Gorbach) coming to power in the 1980s and dismantling the National
Socialist system, only to fall from power as the Third Reich
collapsed in political and economic chaos.
Imagine a shrunken “German Federation” suffering ten years of
upheaval, before an SS officer (call him Voldemar Puschnik) came to
power, first as prime minister and then as president. Under eight
years of rule by Herr Puschnik, Germany regains economic stability,
largely thanks to a sky-high coal price.
That would be distasteful to put it mildly. But it might be
tolerable. The SS, for all its faults, attracted bright, ambitious
people, and Mr Puschnik’s career in its external espionage division
meant that he was not directly tainted by the crimes of the past.
Better a stable Germany than a chaotic one. Any big country is going
to have its own security interests, and the Dutch, Czechs, Danes and
Poles would safeguard their regained independence best by trying to
get along with Mr Puschnik, rather than harping on about the evils
of Nazism.
It’s much the same in Russia. It would be quite wrong to blame
modern Russians for Stalin-era crimes. Russia is not going to go
away, and Poles, Balts and others should try not to provoke the
Kremlin unnecessarily. The KGB had a dreadful history, but Mr
Putin’s role was seemingly anodyne.
But that calculus holds only if modern day rulers show no hint of
sympathy for their predecessors’ atrocities. If Herr Puschnik, our
putative leader of a post-Nazi Germany, starts flirting with
Holocaust denial, every alarm should ring.
Vladimir Putin has already come dangerously close to this in Russia.
He has claimed that the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact was legal. He sees
no need to apologise to Baltic victims of Stalinism.
But the Russian media is going further. In the past six months no
fewer than four different outlets have revived the outrageous
falsehood that it was the Nazis, not the Soviets, who murdered
20,000 captured Polish officers at Katyn in 1940. That Stalin-era
lie, enforced at gun-point in post-war Poland, viciously aggravated
the original crime. It was buried in 1990, with solemn Kremlin
support.
The falsehoods are not in fringe publications. It started with
Rossiiskaya Gazeta, a state-owned newspaper, on September 18th last
year. It was repeated by the mass-market Komsomolskaya Pravda on
October 22nd and again by TV Tsentr—a station in effect run by the
Moscow Mayor’s office—on November 4th. Now it has been repeated
again by what used to be an upmarket broadsheet, Nezavisimaya
Gazeta, in its weekend supplement on military affairs.
This comes not in response to some Polish provocation, but at a time
when the government in Warsaw has been bending over backwards to
soothe relations with Moscow.
The Russian media—in theory at least—can print what it likes. But it
is hard not to conclude that this outbreak of revisionist history
comes with at least tacit official blessing.
The best way to dispel this would be for the Kremlin and the Russian
foreign ministry to come out with a clear and forceful statement
saying that from the official side at least, no doubt whatsoever
exists that the Soviet secret police, acting on Stalin’s orders,
carried out the Katyn massacre. Failure to do that suggests at best
atrocious cynicism and at worst a nauseating sympathy with the
perpetrators. "
