I losing my Windows Desktop skills...Good or Bad?

My wife was having problem connecting her office notebook to our home wifi lately, so as an IT guy, she turned to me to help solving the problem.

I took over her notebook and start doing some troubleshooting, and without long, I started to realize that my Windows desktop skills are diminishing! I have been using my Linux desktop for more than 2 years. The problem was intermittent, because there was once I managed to connect without much effort, but today it just refused to connect.

Well, i have to say i did not face any major problem on my linux desktop, and I even installed linux for home usage on the new notebook I got from a lucky draw.

So, time to throw away Windows OS? But the irony is people still want to keep using Windows although it has tones of problems. I have been hearing the same excuse over and over again, i.e. they are so used to Windows and are afraid of changing. What a sad case...

Good Governance?

（布城16日讯）首相拿督斯里阿都拉说，政府不会废除内安法令，现阶段也没有打算释放内安法令扣留犯。。

他说：“内安法令是好的（法令），只是当局在执行时必须确保公正及合理。”

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
我不明白我们的首相为什么永远都是讲一套做一套。即然说了”执行时必须确保公正及合理“ 为何不立可把错误就正过来。

政府这次引用内安令来扣留了三个人，分别为博客柏特拉，国会议员郭素沁，和记者陈云清，除了首相的支持者、警方、巫统的亲首相派外，所有其他人士都反对这项行动。因为警方及政府根本没有证据证明他们对国家安全构成威胁。纵观整件事的进展（可翻阅2008年九月13日及之后一个星期的报纸或网落新闻参考）， 这项行动根本违反了”执行时必须确保公正及合理“的原则。

一个领导人必需言行一至，才能以德服人。一个政府之首更加必需讲到做到.

Please lock up all our Children with ISA

Two days ago, our Malaysian Police had used ISA to detained 3 citizen without reasons and denied their basic human rights to have legal and judiciary support. One of the detainees, Tan - a journalist, was freed but the Government explained that her detention was to ensure her safety as the police intelligence learnt that her life was threatened.

I think our Home Ministry should use ISA to lock up all our children, to prevent they from being killed and kidnapped. There have been many cases of children been taken away from their parents, killed or status not know and still missing. Our "intelligent" police are still not able to find where they are or capture the offenders.

Our children are in great danger, their lives are being threatened. I beg the Home Ministry to quickly lock them up immediately.
