We're at SCaLE 13x!

elementaryos:

wish I could go

We’re in LA this weekend exhibiting at SCaLE, the Southern California Linux Expo. You can find us at booth 8 in the Expo Hall. Stop by to grab some free stickers, try out Freya, and talk to Cassidy and Katie!

Let me know what you think of the completely new KDE Plasma 5 environment.

I think it is just great :)

I have learned from medicine that the most important successful tips to management are those you have to avoid or WHAT NOT TO DO. Know you are not going to do and you easily find out what you should really do.

Differential diagnosis then which of which.

This maybe true…

I partially agree with this last sentence, to keep everything as positive as possible. However, somethings if done may have a negative imact n the desired goal. At least they may prolong the way to achievement. I will give an example, if i may encouter an emergency situation in ER which requires high sense suspicion and fast course o action. In such situation, simple mistakes are devastating. Therefore i should keep in mind a simple short list of actions that should be avoided. This is deinitely simpler and easier than memorizing long consequence of actions which may e cinducted later. I reality, the same rule works. And remember, when God wanted to give law to Isreal. He gave them ten simple commandments each begin with ‘DON’T’.

Well, we are talking about two completely different points. my point is so specific. It is concerning giving pieces of advice not commandments by God. When bits of advice comes from an equal ranking person we naturally tend to resist them. especially, when it is a negative order or sentence.

A good example for that would be a child giving another a bit of advice which he got from his mother. the child receiving the piece of advice would simply reject it and act against it.

There is a formula for giving words of advice for equal ranking people in their social and professional life. I can go on with the formula which by the way one of the best I have ever seen for giving bits of advice for people. especially those who you don’t want to be miss understood by. Simply you give a story that has the meaning of your bit of advice. This story should be a true one also it should act as evidence for your bit of advice. After that you give you precious piece of advice that should not contain any negative words at all, also should not be more than a single sentence. the final part will always be a single sentence that refers to the benefits they will get if they follow this bit of advice.

While your point is about professional commands and commandments from God. you have already provided a proof for your point so I will not do the same thing. I will just put it in the place which I think the right place for it Which is not a piece of advice by an equal ranking person.

Thank you, John for the exceedingly comprehensive answer. This definitely enriches our discussion. I do agree, partially again, that we may have different points. However, i want to point out some points in your comment.

First of all, it was not the advice which i talk about, but rather counselling. Counselling a little bit different.

Another point that i didn’t adopt this very precise academic way of thinking you spoke in. I just about talked about to help someone to speak his ideas out loud.

Frequently, we may encounter a point in life, at which we should make a choice among different and seemingly different options. In such occasions, we may use this way of exclusion i mentioned before.

It’s simple and very popular way in diagnosing diseases. Just set a group of criteria and see if they are met or not. Then, you will find your door you should knock. Or, at least you will narrow your range of choices, making the comparison very easy.

This was my original idea. However you got driven by my reply and commented in another partially related issue, the advice.

Well, i think it may be very long and rich topic for our next talk in Skype, and Jeff may join us in.

nisstrx

That would be really great. I think we should have a conversation soon about this topic as we have not had any conversations for a long time now that I long to have one. if you are free today at 4:00 UTC we can have our conversation then that would be a great time for me. Thank you for bringing this up :)

Well, I only have an hour from 10 pm to 11 pm Cairo time. we can surly do from 10 to 11.

Introduction to computers

If you are interested in technology and want to know how your computer work read this post. it will help you understand how computers work and how you can fix your computer or make it reach it's full potential.

computers mainly consist of two parts; 1-software 2-hardware:

We Will talk firstly about hardware. As a computer user it doesn't really matter to you how your hardware work. Well, just think about it all these various models and architectures. All what you need to know is the basic idea. simply it is now widely known that computers use ones and zeros. They perform all the actions they need to perform using this binary way of representing data. the most important thing you need to know is that basically different models of maybe the same type of hardware have different arrangement of switches which carry the ones and zeros.

You may have different computers with slightly different pieces of hardware but mostly most personal computer cases are the same and they mainly contain the same things. I will mention some of them now, So that you can relate them if you are buying a new computer, As this may help you build a computer the fits your needs also that costs you the least of what is possible.

I will only mention what is inside a case as the other parts are just so obvious for anyone.

1- motherboard:

you may find a motherboard in every device you use including your laptop, phones, tablets and of course computers. A motherboard is basically a printed circuit board (PCB) with all the basic components your computer needs. there are a lot of manufactures out there that are great including Gigabyte (the most popular one in my country), Asus and apple. I need to notify you here that apple makes both hardware and software of it's own so you can't just go to their store and ask for a motherboard. they don't sell them separably. they just sell the whole computer with the software. the list for motherboards manufacturers can go on and on.

you get a lot of things with you motherboard that I will talk about separately.

2- CPU: which is your central processing unit. it is one of the most important parts of your computer as it determines to a great extend it's abilities. there are some manufacturers out there like Intel and AMD.

Personally, I prefer Intel to AMD but that never ends the problem as choosing a suitable CPU is always a problem.

this is an example of what a CPU looks like.

I will continue this series of posts about computers so this is just part one. We will talk more about computers that you will have a complete buyers guide at the end of it.

To all nations of the world

I don't want any killings on both sides in Gaza or in Israel. I even don't want people form ISIS to die. I don't want Christians from Iraq to die or leave their homes or even be treated in an unjust way. I want all people to live in peace. I want justice to dominate. Supporting any side right now is just like asking for the other to die. I want you all alive and happy is that so hard for you to seek.

Isn't it funny

Isn't it funny that a ship leaks from the top. They used to say that about Steve jobs during his twenties. Steve jobs was the co-founder of apple computers also the the guy who reinvented apple,inc

Tips

I have learned from medicine that the most important successful tips to management are those you have to avoid or WHAT NOT TO DO. Know you are not going to do and you easily find out what you should really do.

Differential diagnosis then which of which.

nisstrx

This maybe true but I am sure that it is the worst way ever to give an advice. People have strong attraction towards things they are told not to do. It is also considered a negative thing. I think we should always keep things as positive as possible.
