What is Software Freedom Day?
http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/aboutSoftware Freedom Day (SFD) is a worldwide celebration of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). Our goal in this celebration is to educate the worldwide public about of the benefits of using high quality FOSS in education, in government, at home, and in business -- in short, everywhere! The non-profit company Software Freedom International provides guidance in organizing SFD, but volunteer teams around the world organize their own SFD events to impact their own communities.

用香港智能身證的下場
顧客：喂，我想叫‥‥‥
接線生：先生，請你比你既智能咭號碼。
顧客：呀，請等等，12345678。
接線生：陳先生你好，你係住係元州街１號２樓，你屋企電話係 53541177，你公司電話係 70861366，你手提電話係93945354。請問你依家用緊邊個電話打呢？
顧客：屋企，點解你知道我所有電話號碼？
接線生：陳先生，因為我地接通左智能系統.
顧客：要一個海鮮薄餅‥‥
接線生：陳先生，海鮮薄餅唔啱你。
顧客：點解？
接線生：根據你嘅醫療記錄，你有血壓高兼膽固醇偏高。
顧客：吓？‥‥咁你有乜好介紹。
接線生：你可以試試我地既低脂健康薄餅。
顧客：你點知我鍾意食呢種？
接線生：哦，你喺上星期一喺中央圖書館借過本低脂健康食譜。
顧客：哎呀，好啦，我要個特大家庭裝薄餅，幾多錢？
接線生：唔，加多個都夠你一家十口食，仲好啦，盛惠 280 蚊啦。
顧客：可唔可以用信用卡？
接線生：陳先生，唔好意思，請你用現金找數，因為你既信用卡已經過晒額，你而家仲欠緊銀行 $3,344.44 卡數未找。仲有，提提你，你今期仲未供樓喎。
顧客:哦，咁我去附近提款機提定錢先.
接線生:陳先生，根據你既記錄，你今日提款機提款限額已經過左額。
顧客:唔好懶叻，送薄餅先啦，我有錢係度。幾時送到呀！
接線生:大約45分鐘，如果唔等得，可以你自己開車嚟。
顧客:乜話！你點知我有車？
接線生：根據系統記錄，你有一架綿羊仔，號碼係 PK1366。
顧客:＠＃＆＊＊＊＃＃％？＊＆＠％＄
接線生：陳先生，請你小心你既說話。你係1997年7月14日曾經用粗口鬧警察，判左有罪。
顧客：‥‥‥
接線生：請問仲要啲乜呢？
顧客：無喇，呀，係唔係有三罐可樂送？
接線生:係，不過系統記錄你有糖尿病與愛滋‥‥‥‥‥

Ultima Online: Kingdom Reborn
Congratulations!
You are one of the very first to get a glimpse of a reborn Ultima Online. We won't be releasing more details for a bit, but we do want to let you know a few things:
- We are completely re-building the Ultima Online client with new graphics and a new easier-to-use interface.
- It is an in-place upgrade. That means you will be able to keep your characters, items, houses and everything else you've earned over the past nine years.
- We are committed to maintaining extremely low system specs. They will be higher than what UO launched with in 1997, but will still be far lower than almost any other MMORPG on the market.
- The launch will happen in 2007.
- There are many, many more surprises in store.
The Ultima Online development team has been working hard for the past eight months to make real the vision of a thriving, vibrant Ultima Online. We are proud to finally let you in on our secret. Look for a full announcement soon.
I know you probably have lots of questions. Before this year ends, we will answer just about all of them, so keep watching www.uo.com.

Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs
Link: Microsoft
Link: Wikipedia
Microsoft has issued a version of Windows that brings the security features of XP Service Pack 2 to older PCs. The software is designed for firms that are not yet ready to replace ageing kit, and is only available to Microsoft customers with Software Assurance licensing agreements
Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs (WinFLP), formerly codenamed Eiger, is based on Microsoft Windows XP Embedded Service Pack 2 (SP2) and provides the same security and management features, said Microsoft.
However, the software is designed to work on systems that are currently running older versions of Windows, such as Windows 98, for which Microsoft ended technical support this month. These systems are often too underpowered to effectively run the full version of Windows XP.
For this reason, WinFLP functions as a “lean client”, accessing server-hosted apps via Microsoft’s RDP or Citrix ICA clients. Only a limited number of other apps will run locally, including security tools, management clients, terminal emulation software, document viewers, and the .Net Framework, Microsoft said.
The stripped-down Windows client requires a computer with a 233MHz processor and at least 64MB memory, but Microsoft recommends a 300MHz system with 256MB memory. It also requires about 600MB of disk space, depending on the options chosen and applications installed locally.
WinFLP will allow organisations with such legacy systems to continue to use them until they are ready to replace their desktop hardware, according to Microsoft, when they will probably upgrade to systems with Windows Vista.
Microsoft Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs (WinFLP) is a Windows-based operating system designed for enterprise customers with legacy PCs who are not in a position to purchase new hardware. WinFLP provides the same security and manageability as Microsoft Windows XP SP2 while providing a smooth migration path to the latest hardware and operating system.
Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs (WinFLP) requires:
- A minimum of 611 MB of free hard drive space. Actual requirements will vary based on your system configuration and the applications and features you choose to install. Installing all optional components requires 1151 MB of disk space. These requirements are reported on the screen as you select options in the Setup wizard. Additional hard disk space may be required if you are installing over a network. Also, you should reserve additional space for future updates and service packs.
- A computer with 233 megahertz or higher processor clock speed (300 MHz is recommended); Intel Pentium/Celeron family, or AMD K6/Athlon/Duron family, or compatible processor is recommended.
- 64 MB of RAM. 256 MB of RAM is recommended.
微軟的這個操作系統是在 WindowsXP 的基礎上修改而來，去除了WinXP中任何特效和視覺效果等華麗內容。
現在使用的很多古老系統可能無法安裝使用 WindowsXP 及其以后的操作系統，這個全新操作系統就是為這樣的用戶准備的，讓他們可以擁有安全的系統，同時又不會在性能上有什麼損失。
系統需求:
最小 611MB 可用磁盤空間. 實際需求因您的系統配置與您選擇安裝的應用程序與功能而异. 安裝所有可選的組件需要 1151MB 磁盤空間. 您在安裝向導中選擇不同選項時, 這些需求會在屏幕顯示. 如果通過網絡安裝, 可能需要附加的磁盤空間. 另外, 您應該為將來的更新與服務包(service packs)預留一些空間.
處理器 233MHz 或更高 (推荐 300MHz); 推荐 Intel 奔騰/賽揚系列, 或 AMD K6/速龍/毒龍系列, 或兼容的處理器.
64MB 內存. 推荐 256MB
