A couple of weeks ago I saw Wall-E and I must admit I quite liked. In principle, it is refreshing to see the ultraconservative Disney takes its original spirit (that of its founder, Walt) to tell a story of this nature. On the one hand, they risk making a story that (at least in the first half) has a minimum of dialogue, and poetic images that border on Dystopia, but more importantly, Disney is no longer politically correct speechifying and finally launches a clear message against consumerism and monopolies. Once again, corporations demonstrate something that is lacking many governments: self.
It is good to see the issue of ecology is slowly gaining strength in audiovisual speech. Glad to see that not everything died with the Oscar for An Inconvenient Truth and the Nobel Prize for Al Gore. Hopefully that of hybrid cars, as well as finding other sources of renewable energy are not only fashion.
It is also hopeful that some companies are discovering that recycling not only helps the earth, but their pockets. For example, the increasing price of oil and the increasingly high cost of air travel, Delta Airlines decided to remove the printing of tickets. Now everything will be through e-tickets, which not only simplifies the process and saves millions of dollars to the company but will also save tons of paper ...
It is also very interesting what happens in the world of free software. It's good to see companies like AMD are increasingly becoming involved with the development of operating systems with Linux kernel. And what has to do with the Linux environment? The truth is that the consumer does not have a philosophy, can be very helpful to the environment, not only for its philosophical aspect, but for its functionality.
Last week I spoke with a soundman who is considering purchasing equipment for post-production sound independently. When I asked him about his plan, he told me he is already preparing, but it first needs to sell his "pot" of Pentium III. It is right that the technology moves quickly, but ... Is that why we have to call pot a computer to do anything that helped us do our work perfectly for day to day? That is what philosophies as those of Microsoft or Apple do with us ... Require us to have 1.5 GB of RAM to use the new version of Word ... Almost two jigs to use a word processor! Same goes for Internet browsers, spreadsheets and other applications that are most common among regular users ... Do not use these applications with a lot less hardware requirements?
Of course it does, and this is where Linux distributions come . The last version of Debian, for example, can run with only 64 megs of RAM and 1 GB hard drive. That is enough power to run a good office suite, a good web browser and the most common programs that people need ... The best part is that a computer of these characteristics is achieved in almost given second-hand market, so it's a good way to recycle,And for my friend soundman at the end he recommended distribution argentina Musix, which is based on Knoppix and has dozens of applications for the production of audio ... I hope you can help.
