I am not going through the full install but only through the problems
Before install
edit /etc/sysctl.conf and add below
'vm.vdso_enabled = 0
vm.mmap_min_addr = 4096'
now run 'sysctl -p' as root
start the maemo-scratchbox-install_4.1.sh
Once the install is successful you will get the below term output
==============================
Installation was successful!
----------------------------
You now have Scratchbox 1.0.8 'apophis' release installed.
Scratchbox cannot be run as user root. Instead, use your normal login
user account. Add additional scratchbox users and sandboxes with the
following command (outside scratchbox with root permissions):
# /scratchbox/sbin/sbox_adduser USER yes
Running this command will create sandbox environment for that user and
add user to the 'sbox' scratchbox user group.
You will need to start a new login terminal after being added to the
'sbox' group for group membership to be effective.
Login to scratchbox session using the following command (as user):
$ /scratchbox/login
==============================
Now add the user :
sudo /scratchbox/sbin/sbox_adduser username yes
close the terminal, start new terminal, issue "sudo chmod -R +rx /scratchbox" and " chmod +s /scrachbox/sbin"
some times you need a restart ( better to restart ). In my case i went to another problem ( solution was " chmod 777 /tmp" ).
Now back and run "bash maemo-sdk-install_4.1.sh"
If things go good, You will see a "Happy hacking! " message at the end.

Paying for the Rich - A Carbon Tax story
Finally i am understanding - we live for the rich to take advantage of us.
Everybody say - Lets go green.
The Question is How much green ?
Now i see every where selling has a green or a Hybrid word associated to it.
Lets come back: As my background , I have a kid who is going to be 2 yr old.To save some money from income,we decided not to send kid to daycare ( yep we need to give half of my wife income to daycare to take care of baby and day care work from 7-5 and we work from 9-6 ).For this we make a bit hard decision of working in shifts ( my wife works at night and i work at day ).
Her job is 30 kms away from the place we live ( yes we looked for jobs near, as we don't have degrees from here ( her degree is accredited to equivalent to Masters in Canada but Canadian employers never give a chance for her to attend interview. So she got option from an Australia based company). I drop her at night and go and pick her in the morning. I own a Pontiac grand AM which gives me 9.8 kmpl. We use car for transport as night its not safe for her to take public transit.Apart from this i take public transit and because of these tax additions there was a fare increase recently.
Now Carbon tax :
Gasoline: 2.41 cents per litre in 2008, rising to 7.24 cents per litre by 2012
Natural gas: 49.88 cents per GJ in 2008, rising to 149.64 cents per GJ by 2012
It added around 20 cents per day to my gas bill ( as of now ). As the gas prices were sky rocking, it has null effect, still it did its job of taking money out of me.
Canada is a cold county (kool place ) and everybody uses Gasoline/Natural gas in winter.Winter is yet to come, let me see how much more i have to pay.I am sure its going to hit me hard in winter from all places. Yes i think it was a smart move to introduce it in summer with giving a $ 100 incentive to hand.
Fine , I pay and money is gone out of me. Now the second part starts
Where this tax money goes ?
Last day i was watching a TV - a news special saying Trucks go green :- Introduction of Hybrid Trucks. Wow green!! . I started listening. Some sales people talk - We are committed to go green. I felt again WOW!!.
Me more listening.
The truck owner association president :- "We are committed to go green and we expect Gov to divert funds from carbon tax to aid buying more Green trucks"
Wow!!, What a nice way of taking my hard earned money as his business investment.
Am i a Fool ? or do we need these systems to help or overkill us ?

Paying for the Rich - An ICBC story
Finally i am understanding - we live for the rich to take advantage of us.
Let me tell the full story
I was driving last day and my car skid and hit side of the road. I was not on high speeds or my car was not bad. But i think i was a bit fast for the climate ( it was drizzling and road became slippery ). I travel the same way for last 3 yrs and never had any problems.Why it slipped on that day ? I am not sure because i travelled on same road 8.5 hrs before. lets be back to story.
So car skid and hit the concrete barrier. Fortunately nobody got injured (yes i had my 2 year old boy in the car ) but the car got some repairs, I reported the incident to police and some towing company towed the car to ICBC.
Now the real story :
Dialed ICBC - The first made the claim and asked options. Then real understanding started. If i make a claim even its $100 its going to have subsequent insurance increase of 55% next year 45% second year and 35% third year and 4th year it will be back to my current rate. This means around $5000 extra to my budget over 3 years. I brought the car for $3500 2 years back.This means ICBC write off my car is going to give me $3500 max.
Afer i heard all maths from icbc i dialed one of my friend for a second
opanion and he revealed his story which finally end up in not claiming and fixing car himself.
Now i started thinking, what about rich ? They own cars of $35000+, a skid means $10000 min. They also pay the same insurance extra as me if they claim ( so extra $4000 ) and $6000 for free.
From where this money comes ? From mine and your insurance. Finally we pay insurance for
For making ICBC profit full
For giving free money to Rich ( last 3 yrs i paid more that $7000 as insurance to ICBC and now i have to write off my car which adds another $2000 ( after my own use deduction )
Time to think - Do we really need these systems ??
ICBC ? http://www.icbc.com/
Expect another article on Carbon tax, This is another way the working class pay for rich to remodel/expand their business.

Complexity theory
Last day was talking a friend ( he is am immigrant from Iran ) about howz his friends etc. From him i got this complexity theory
In the place we have friends whom we have a lot to talk in common. Once we immigrate or go away from them , for first years we will dial back a lot talk to them etc. Later the frequency of communication goes less , and less and less. This time you will be building your roots ( a circle of complexities ) here and your friends will building there own roots. After some time you guys may find that there is less/ Nothing to talk because your complexities are different from your friends.
Once again :- what you share common with a friend who studied in school where you were very close with him/her and how much time you can talk now and what subjects ?

My TV runs linux ( KDL40V3000 )
Wodering am i talking wrong ?
No, was looking in the spec, it said it uses linux kernel, busy box.
Look at : www.sony.com/linux
came in and its shows me KDL40V3000 uses
GPL:
linux-kernel-20070219.tgz (26 MB)
busybox_R2.1.1.tgz (720 KB)
LGPL
hhl-target-glibc-2.2.3-n12.5.src.rpm (19 MB)
Wow, that was mindblowing, TV runs is linux term with sony application. Now i am sure some body is going to get more far than i wrote :-
like putting mythtv inside with plugins so real stuff happens without an extra PC near to it .
