How to fine Linux Running 32Bit or 64Bit Kernel or CPU

noreply@blogger.com (Bauani) — Sat, 30 Apr 2011 15:19:43 PDT

Now a days every (most of) admin wants to know which version (32bit or 64bit) of OS (Operating System) is running on his/her server either it is Linux or Windows. Also want to check the capability of CPU whither it is 32bit or 64bit.

I normally get a lot of query about other admin's server to check if they are running their required version of OS (32Bit or 64bit). Also get query to check if their hosting company give them their required 64bit CPU.

The truth is, now a days all most every CPU is capable to run 64Bit operating system.

If you want to check whether you’r server is running 32-bit or 64-bit kernel just issue some simple command

You can check it by issue 'uname' command or read '/proc/cpuinfo' file to check system information including kernel version and whether kernel is 32 bit or 64 bit.

Checking Running Kernel Version with 'uname' command:

Open an terminal on your Linux server and issue command:

$ uname -a

It will show output something like bellow:

Linux fortune 2.6.18-238.9.1.el5 #1 SMP Tue Apr 12 18:10:56 EDT 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

i386/i486/i586/i686 indicates that you've a 32 bit Linux kernel running or output show something like:

Linux ora100 2.6.5-7.252-smp #1 SMP Tue Feb 14 11:11:04 UTC 2006 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

x86_64 or x86_64/GNU/Linux indicates that you've a 64bit Linux kernel running.

Note: Keep in mind that Above example is to show only the Linux Kernel version running on your server, this is not showing any hardware information.

Checking Your Server has 32-bit or 64-bit CPU from '/proc/cpuinfo' file:

Same as above open an terminal on your Linux server and read the content of file located on /proc/cpuinfo

/proc/cpuinfo file contain a lot of information of cpu but all are not needed to check the 32/64 bit version. You will only need 'flags:' information by Issuing following command:

$ grep flags /proc/cpuinfo

Output will show something like:

flags           : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe nx lm constant_tsc pni monitor ds_cpl vmx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr lahf_lm

flags           : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe nx lm constant_tsc pni monitor ds_cpl vmx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr lahf_lm
flags           : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe nx lm constant_tsc pni monitor ds_cpl vmx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr lahf_lm

CPU Modes:

lm flag means Long mode cpu - 64 bit CPU
Real mode 16 bit CPU
Protected Mode is 32-bit CPU

Thanks to: This nice article on 32 64 bit article!

Using Other's Article On Your Blog or Writing Reference

noreply@blogger.com (Bauani) — Fri, 29 Apr 2011 05:08:05 PDT

Using Other's Article On Your Blog or Writing Reference

Sometime we just copy and pest other's article which might be license under someone else. Sometime we do it as the Internet is not stable and nobody can assure that the article URL will be there in future.

Mr. Shahriar Tariq, Volunteer, Bangladesh Linux Users Alliance (http://linux.org.bd check our forum: http://forum.linux.org.bd) wrote some nice word regarding this topic.

Bellow is his writings: (Copy & Pest)

If you are using someone else article as a reference:

1) Check the license, most open source related articles are licensed under open license (such as Creative commons)

2) if the article is not licensed it won't hurt to politly ask the author whether you can use it. most author won't mind giving permission since they wrote it to let people know the content in the first place

3) be sure to give due credit to the original author. If you are not aware who is the author at least mention where you have collected the article

If you find that someone else is using your article without proper credit:

1) don't jump on and attack the person, keep your tone checked all the time, if you start heated argument its more probable other person is also gonna reply angrily

2) It may be the case that the person who is using your article without credit are actually not aware of licensing issue. Its not uncommon in Bangladesh, most people don't understand piracy then how come they will understand licensing issue? Make him/her understand licensing issue

3) if reminding them properly does not work then take it up to the concerned team, in case of forum talk to the moderators, in case of community website, the owner is the person you need to talk to, if its personal blog take it up to the hosting company (given they are reputed hosting company).

Simple solution is not it?

Think about a day, any special day, it might be a family occasion or say you promise your wife that you will go shopping with her just after office hour... But suddenly your boss came and told you to finish the paperwork by tonight as tomorrow he have to present the paper to a meeting. What will be your fillings? You might want to KILL your boss on spot or give up your service forever. But in real situation it's not possible.

So what will be your solution? The grate word "Work From Home"! Now a days you will find a lot of website offering Work From Home option and telling you that you will get 4 to 5 figure amount in a month! Is it really true? What is the secrete of making money online?

Actually there is nothing! Yes Nothing! Unless you have a expert level on writing popular and useful article writing, You know how to attract people on your site. And most important issue is the keep the user coming back by writing good article which is fun and useful.

cPanel Exim Critical Security Update Very URGENT for cPanel Administrator

noreply@blogger.com (Bauani) — Fri, 10 Dec 2010 01:41:47 PST

Hello Everyone, Specially The Administrator of cPanel, the Most popular and powerful web hosting software for Servers with Linux Operating System has discovered a very serious security problem on it's MTA (Mail Transfer Agent)

A Linux Hosting Server with cPanel Software installed, which help administrator to create, delete, modify, bandwidth or disk allocation, reseller account, in a word all kind of work can done by it's web based GUI from any software. By Default This cPanel Software use Exim, a Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) to receive or delivery email both incoming and outgoing server.

As Exim is an Open Source, Free Software and cPanel Developers Customize to fit on cPanel web interface without hampering it's main work, mail transfer system.

On Web Hosting Industries, cPanel is used by most of Hosting Provider, from very small to large organization like ThePlanet use this GUI (Graphical User Interface).

Recently cPanel Developer Team, who work to find and fix security related issue on software discover a very big problem on Exim MTA, which could give access to run any script as root, though he is a non-shell, hosting only user.

=============

Summary

=============

A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in Exim, the mail transfer agent used by cPanel & WHM.

-----------------------

Security Rating

-----------------------

This update has been rated as Critical by the cPanel Security team.

Description

-----------------------

Research up to this point indicates the exploit is a buffer overflow vulnerability that takes advantage of the default Exim configuration settings related to altering Exim's runtime configuration file along with overriding the macro definitions in the configuration file. This buffer overflow may lead to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user executing the Exim daemon. However, the Exim user retains root privileges when running the -C and -D command line flags. Through the creation of a temporary exim configuration which is processed with the -C or -D flags, the Exim user is able to execute arbitrary commands as root.

Solution

-----------------------

To resolve and work around the issue, for Linux-based systems cPanel has issued new Exim RPMs. The new version of Exim locks configuration file locations to the /etc/exim prefix as well as disabling use of the -D flag. Server Owners are strongly urged to upgrade to the following Exim RPM versions:

• Systems configured to use Maildir: Exim 4.69-25

• Systems configured to use mbox (deprecated): Exim 4.63-4

Exim RPMs will be distributed through cPanel's package management system. All cPanel & WHM servers receiving updates automatically will receive the updated Exim RPM during normal update and maintenance operations (upcp). If you prefer to install the update right now, please run the following in a root shell:

/scripts/eximup

On cPanel & WHM FreeBSD servers, Exim is an unmanaged install performed from the Ports system. To apply a like setup on FreeBSD systems, server administrators will need to perform the following manual configuration:

• Remove WITHOUT_ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX=yes from /etc/make.conf

• Add the following to /var/db/ports/exim/options

WITH_ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX=true

SEDLIST+= -e 's,^(ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX=).*,\1/etc/exim,'

SEDLIST+= -e 's,^\# (DISABLE_D_OPTION=),\1,'

• Change directory to /usr/ports/mail/exim

• Execute 'make deinstall'

• Execute 'make install'

Caution: the above changes have potential to be undone by /scripts/checkmakeconf, and updates to the Exim port. An upcoming version of cPanel & WHM 11.28 will resolve this for FreeBSD users.

cPanel's Public Relation Division has issued a WARNING messages to ALL administrator of cPanel user to fix the problem, which is describe bellow:

If you need more deep information, please visit the link bellow:

http://docs.cpanel.net/twiki/bin/view/AllDocumentation/SecurityLevels
http://www.exim.org/lurker/message/20101207.215955.bb32d4f2.en.html

I have already fix it on all server maintain by me. I am requesting you to do the fix as soon as possible. This is real thread to your server. If you don't fix this problem, any of your web hosting user can get root access on your Hosting Server.

So, before they know this security problem, fix it as soon as possible.

Migration to Underground Fiber Network in Bangladesh | Bangladesh ICT News

noreply@blogger.com (Bauani) — Sat, 04 Dec 2010 02:57:03 PST

Fiber @ Home facilitating migration to underground network

By Shahidul K K Shuvra

Fiber @ Home has shown enough confident to drum up the government endeavour to de-clutter the cables hanging across the Dhaka City. The authority of the country changed several datelines of removing the cables; finally 31^stDecember of this year rescheduled as an ultimate dateline to make at least main roads started from Uttara to Motijheel to take off the cables to make people hassles free from the hanging cables.

Moynul Haque Siddiqui, MD of Fiber @ Home, told in a recently called press conference that his company is making the ground to migrate ISP's cable to the underground network, which is hazard free and save money of the country for importing huge cables from abroad.

Along with other funny names Dhaka City is being called the city waved with cables just above the heads of people. It is not only hurdling for predestines but several times these got fire to jeopardize life of the residences of the city.

Developed countries always favour underground cable network than hanging wires over the heads, such tangled up cables look very ugly and make a city unsafe. Years back BTRC awarded licenses to two companies to bring down cables beneath our feet. Fiber @ Home is one of the companies that set up 1500 kilometre underground cables already and their service is ready in front of 20 million houses to connect city dwellers with fibre optic network.

MD of the company expressed his desire to reach at Upazila level within 3/5 years. However, he thinks success of the network depends on its maximum utilisation, and government and public cordial response to it is needed. Early and best exploration of the NTTN services will spread its benefits to the people as quickly as possible.

The company is also concern like VoIP some unscrupulous persons can start this networking without BTRC license. This underground network is a best option to monitor illegal cyber activities. It will be complicacy free that is why it was suggested that underground cable should be out of corruption involvement.

Fibre to Home project of the company includes transmitting voice, video and data; the 150 kilometre project started with triple play network technology. By the technological know-how multiple functions can be done. One cable is enough to log on internet, ring on phone and switch on TV.

The press conference projected the infrastructures developed by Fibre @ Home to the journalists by a Power Point Presentation, which was conducted by Brigadier General Md. Rafiqur Rahman, psc (retired).

Confidence is Good but Over Confidence will Send You Hospital

noreply@blogger.com (Bauani) — Fri, 19 Nov 2010 00:18:26 PST

Dear Fellow Friends

Today I want to share my own experience of act of 'Over Confidence' and The Result.

Just few days before of Eid-al-Adha on 13th November, 2010 I was in road.

Everyone, who is my very nearest personals (Who Know Me From My Childhood) knows that I am near expert of Tackle or Manage any Bull, which might be unknown to me.

They day I said before, I went a shop near my home to buy something for me. There I found a Big Bull, about tons of wight (Which bought for Eid-al-Adha) was out of control who purchased it from temporary market (We Call this Type of Temporary Market as 'Hut') and taking it to home. On the way it goes out of control and it was so wild that he was destroying almost everything in front of him. As my normal behaver, I run to bull and try to start make the bull under control.

It took about 30 min for me to make this bull as friend. At that moment, he was very nice and friendly with me. To give him more confidence that he safe, I expend approximately 15 more minute with playing with him. After that I handover my new friends to it's new owner. It was too emotional time, I could understand he wants me to go with him. But all knows it's no possible.

After handover the bull to it's owner I done my job in shop and start to back my home. At near of my home's door, I found another bull, this was smaller then which I managed just few minutes back. It was also behaving more less like the previous Big Bull. On that time I was too much Confident that to manage this small bull is a child play to me.

I start going near the bull, but my 6th sense was telling something is wrong. As I am going near, start talking with the bull on soft voice, the bull was going wild more and more. I was really surprised to see this behavior of this bull but my over confidence make everything out of my mind. With soft voice I go near the bull's body and found it attacked me furiously. I couldn't move myself on that much speed, actually I was not at that mode that the bull will directly attack me. I felt on road. Everything become Black.

When I wakeup, I found myself on hospital's ICU room. Nobody around me and I could feel the pain in lower belly. I was some kind of surprised to see myself there. After some time I could remember what happen. As nobody is around me, I could think myself alone and start thinking why the bull react on that way.

After few minute, I found what was wrong. As I spend a lot of time with the bigger Bull, all my body and dress was smalling with previous bull and the bull which hit me took me as another Bull and competitor of him and directly attack on that way.

Result? 2 Days of Hospital Bed and It all was happen for My Over Confidence, not Only Confidence.

To my Fellow Friends:
Be Confident what You are Doing but Not be Over Confident, Over Confidence will make your brain frozen.

When we have started counting days for the happy occasion of Eid-ul-Azha, we have now on hand the most unwanted and really unhappy turn-around in politics.

Well, we may have to ponder and wonder as to how many happy turns-around have happened in our politics over the last four decades. To be objective, our politics has had a mix of both types of turns-around; but to be candid, the unhappy ones dominate over the happy ones.

This time the unhappy turn-around originates out of the court order for the opposition leader Khaleda Zia to vacate her cantonment house; and done so either on her own or under duress. We disown any competence to dilate on or delve into the depth of the legal aspects surrounding this happening.

We are solely concerned with the alarming and shocking fall-out of what should have been a high profile legal battle between the establishment and opposition.

The fall-out we are concerned with is, however, not new and by now we have had enough of that.

The political fight between the goverment and opposition is always fought out like the one between two adversaries. But the point missed out by our leaders is the politics is not a fight, it is a game played on clearly spelt-out rules.

The hartal declared by the opposition by way of its knee-jerk reaction to the cantonment house related happening brings to the fore the intermetrics between our politics and economics. As reported in the media, about a million home goers are affected by this wild can hartal.

Moreover, what about the loss to be incurred by the business groups as Eid shoppers are faced with closed shutters of their shopping places? Again, what happens to the public caught in such political fracas? We humbly say that if politics is for securing public interest and ensuring public welfare public should not be held hostage to confrontational politics.

We know politics is an art of compromise - compromise for the greater interest of the Country and the people. We also know that there are ample avenues, even in politics, to sort out problems and solve crises in ways short of confrontation in an independent country like our Bangladesh. This is civilized and democratic.

The daily sun appeals to our leaders to let the people celebrate Eid-ul-Azha as they would like. Let there be an environment ensured for such a celebration. Can the politics of confrontation be on hold until the Eid Celebration is over; and also for an indefinite future?

Google's Logo on 115th Anniversary of The Discovery of X-Rays

noreply@blogger.com (Bauani) — Mon, 08 Nov 2010 00:34:50 PST

X-ray is a technology which allowed us to see inside the human body. This X-rays were first observed and documented in 1895. Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen, a German scientist who found this X-rays technology quite by accident. Before 1895, Mr. Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen was experimenting with 'vacuum tubes' when we found this break through technology.

Weeks latter, Mr. Wilhelm took an photograph of his wife's hand which clearly revealed her wedding ring and her bones. The first released X-ray Photograph can found by clicking here . The photograph electrified the general public and aroused great scientific interest in the new form of radiation. Roentgen called it "X" to indicate it was an unknown type of radiation.

First X-ray Photograph, Photo Credit NASA

This days, from security inspection or medical / clinical use of X-Ray, we even use satellites with X-ray detectors on them to do X-ray astronomy. Life without X-Ray is now become impossible to survival .

Anyway, I am not here to give you details of X-ray and how it's work. I just wanted to post some word regarding Google's Work on 115th Anniversary of the Discovery of X-rays. They put a funny logo for this 115th anniversary of Discovery of X-Rays by replacing their default logo with an special logo, which you can see bellow:

Calibration of 115th Anniversary of X-Ray by Google Inc

Replacing their default Logo on Main Website.

After 115 years we still remember the German scientist Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen for this revolutionary findings which change the world. Yes, the world change by few things, first is the use of Fire and one of others is X-Ray.

To know more details about it, you can visit X-Ray Page, Suggested by Google's "I am feeling Lucky" Feature.

Moneybooker Account: A Good, Reliable and Sometime Costly Way to Get Paid Online for Bangladeshi Freelancers

noreply@blogger.com (Bauani) — Wed, 03 Nov 2010 13:15:07 PDT

Now a days, a lot of talented individual start work as a freelancer on different area. And as per Bangladesh Bank source, a lot of Individuals working online and getting paid either in USD or Euro via there online Account like Moneybooker, Paypal etc which making Significant Amount of change on Foreign Currency Earn by Bangladeshi Nationals. Source also added due to some old rules & regulation, these talented, mostly young personals do not bringing the money inside Bangladesh & Expending it to buy useless things.

For this reason Bangladesh Bank is creating new rules and regulations for whom who work outside Bangladesh by staying inside Bangladesh. We can hope very soon Bangladesh Bank will permit Online Service like Moneybooker, Paypal etc.

Here I want to share a success story of a person, who is an software engineer mainly working in Bangladesh, but in idle time he is working as a freelancer and earning money which he could brought in Bangladesh successfully.

Mr. Zahid (Xahid), an software developer (coder) successfully finished his first Freelance Job and the payment for the job has deposit in his Moneybooker Account.

MoneyBooker isn't a new term among the Bangladeshi freelancer. Many of us withdrawing our freelanced money through moneybooker. Recently Mr. Zahid have withdrawn a little amount through it. This post is about some of the pros and cons of moneybooker transaction in Bangladesh.

Well it is a known issue, at present many of us (Freelanc worker) have faced problem of Moneybooker's over charged fees. Mr. Zahid talked with many of his fellow freelancer and became to know that they have faced the same issue earlier. He found there are freelancer who has charged by the Moneybookers USD$20 and when they query to Moneybookers, they get to know that Moneybookers has converted their USD currency to Euro, which make Moneybookers to cut USD$20 for the conversion charge. This problem is faced by the freelancer who used DBBL (Dutch Bangla Bank) for their Moneybookers transaction.

Now the question arises why Moneybookers converted from USD to Euro? Fact is some local bank doesn't accept USD from Moneybooker, so they convert the money to Euro and send it to the local bank which is totally wrong. Why DBBL do not accept USD from Moneybookers? They accept USD from different provider but not Moneybookers. What a Country. Look Like Every Bank has their own rules. Where Bangladesh Bank, the Central Bank of Bangladesh is present!. In this convertion process we loose the conversion fee+fee for the transaction! Duble Charge!

After knowing all these issue Mr. Zahid decided not to send USD in his Moneybooker account to DBBL. Only for these reason he opened a new Bank account in Uttara Bank Limited and transfer 49.49 usd from Moneybooker. Result? He received 3244 BDT, mean after deducting all charge he got 1USD:65.5BDT.

Earning this experiance of moneybooker he already transferred 100 USD more to the same bank and he is waiting for what will be the conversion he get.

From my own experiance, I will suggest to send (Actually Transfer) money in large unite. In every tranjaction Bangladesh Bank Charge USD$10 & USD$10 charge by your sarving bank. So If someone send you USD$25 to your account, you will only get USD$5; in other hand if someone send you USD$100, you will receive USD$80. So be aware of it.

3. I have talked with several tech & non tech personal, specially to find out the what is happening there. Few Senior officer confirmed me that they are working hard to restore normal peering with partners but it might take time till the Repeater replaced or repaired. During this time they request Seabone to increase the capacity so that the impact on end user become low. He also said Seabone has already increased the capacity and working to give more capacity. The person who informed is an senior level official of BTCL and I can relay on him.

4. It seems that BTCL has successfully take care of the incident. Though the fiber problem still in place, BTCL manage to give all most 80+% of service to it's user. This is really nice. At last BTCL is active.

ALL Thanks & Credits goes to BTCL's Top to Low Level Engineers. We are (We the ISPs are) very happy to see this type of prompt service from BTCL. And hope BTCL will continue this type of support in future.

5. LAST UPDATE: Today, 7th November, 2010 from Aprox 02:00 to 03:25 Hour BDT [GMT + 06] BTTB Internet was DOWN. I have confirmed it from different source and every source expect BTCL has confirm the downtime. It seems that BTCL has properly restore it's full capacity during the downtime. But BTCL should issue some kind of Preses Release or Possible Maintainability Schedule before starting the job. So user like us can get prepared to take care of customer support issue.

Anyway, I hope this is the end of This issue, if anything arise again, I will start thread. Thanks to all for your support.

Remaining IPv4 Address Space Drops Below 5%

noreply@blogger.com (Bauani) — Mon, 18 Oct 2010 03:14:51 PDT

Summary: IPv6 adoption at critical phase. Record number of IPv6 addresses distributed

The Number Resource Organization (NRO) announced on 18 October 2010, at Amsterdam that less than five percent of the world’s IPv4 addresses remain unallocated. APNIC, the Regional Internet Registry for
the Asia Pacific region, has been assigned two blocks of IPv4 addresses by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). This latest allocation means that the IPv4 free pool dipped below 10% in January,
just nine months ago. Since then, over 200 million IPv4 addresses have been allocated from IANA to the Regional Internet Registries (RIRs).

"This is a major milestone in the life of the Internet, and means that allocation of the last blocks of IPv4 to the RIRs is imminent," states Axel Pawlik, - Chairman of the Number Resource Organization (NRO)

the official representative of the five RIRs. He also added "It is critical that all Internet stakeholders take definitive action now to ensure the timely adoption of IPv6."

IPv6 is the "next generation" of the Internet Protocol, providing a hugely expanded address space, which will allow the Internet to grow into the future. In 2010, the five RIRs are expected to allocate over 2,000 IPv6 address blocks, representing an increase of over 70% on the number of IPv6 allocations in 2009. In contrast, the number of IPv4 allocations is expected to grow by only 8% in 2010. These statistics indicate an absence of any last minute "rush" on IPv4 addresses, and a strong momentum behind the adoption of IPv6.

"The allocation of Internet number resources by the five RIRs enables every region in the world to benefit from fair and equitable distribution of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. We are also actively collaborating with stakeholders at the local, regional, and global level to offer training and advice to public and private sector

organizations on IPv6 adoption to ensure that everyone is prepared for IPv4 depletion and IPv6 deployment," added Pawlik.

The IANA assigns IPv4 addresses to the RIRs in blocks that equate to 1/256th of the entire IPv4 address space (each block is referred to as a "/8" or "slash-8"). The most recent assignment means that there are now only 12 of these blocks available, which is less than five percent of the entire IPv4 address pool.

The final five blocks of IPv4 addresses will be distributed simultaneously to the five RIRs, leaving only seven blocks to be handed out under the normal distribution method.

According to current depletion rates, the last five IPv4 address blocks will be allocated to the RIRs in early 2011. The pressure to adopt IPv6 is mounting. Many worry that without adequate preparation and action,
there will be a chaotic scramble for IPv6, which could increase Internet costs and threaten the stability and security of the global network.

Notes to Editors
----------------

About the Number Resource Organization (NRO):

The Number Resource Organization (NRO) is the coordinating mechanism for the five Regional Internet Registries (RIRs). The RIRs - AfriNIC, APNIC, ARIN, LACNIC, and the RIPE NCC - ensure the fair and equitable distribution of Internet number resources (IPv6 and IPv4 addresses and Autonomous System (AS) numbers) in their respective regions. The NRO exists to protect the unallocated Internet number resource pool, foster open and consensus-based policy development, and provide a single point of contact for communication with the RIRs. Learn more about the NRO at www.nro.net/media.

About the Regional Internet Registries (RIRs):

The five Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) that make up the NRO are independent, not-for-profit membership organizations that support the infrastructure of the Internet through technical coordination. The
Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) allocates blocks of IP addresses and ASNs, known collectively as Internet number resources, to the RIRs, who then distribute them to users within their own specific service regions. Organizations that receive resources directly from RIRs include Internet Service Providers (ISPs), telecommunications organizations, large corporations, governments, academic institutions,
and industry stakeholders, including end users.

The RIR model of open, transparent participation has proven successful at responding to the rapidly changing Internet environment. Each RIR holds one or two open meetings per year, as well as facilitating online
discussion by the community, to allow the open exchange of ideas from the technical community, the business sector, civil society, and government regulators.

The five RIRs are:

• AfriNIC, http://www.afrinic.net - Africa
• APNIC, http://www.apnic.net - Asia Pacific
• ARIN, http://www.arin.net - Canada, many Caribbean and North Atlantic islands, and the United States
• LACNIC, http://www.lacnic.net - Latin America and the Caribbean
• RIPE NCC, http://www.ripe.net - Europe, Middle East, and Parts of Central Asia

CEO of Microsoft and CEO of Adobe Meet Recently - A Sign of Microsoft buying Adobe?

noreply@blogger.com (Bauani) — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 12:26:06 PDT

The New York Times reports a recent meeting between CEO of both Microsoft and Adobe.

“Another person with knowledge of past talks between the two companies explained that Microsoft has courted Adobe several years ago with possible acquisition discussions. But the deal never moved past informal talks as Microsoft feared that United States Department of Justice would likely block the deal on antitrust grounds.” - The New York Times

Zdnet has cover the story and post a blog written by Mary Jo Foley. As per this blog this recent two CEO meeting as on their agenda: Apple.

I get that. That two of the vendors who’ve had problems getting their interactive media technologies approved for use on the iPad and the iPhone are chatting seems possible, if not probable. A Flash-on-Windows Phone 7 discussion? I could see it. Possible complaints to legal authorities launched in tandem? Sure, another plausible coffee-klatch topic….

But now I’m seeing folks leap to the conclusion that Microsoft’s CEO Steve Ballmer met with Adobe’s CEO Shantanu Narayen to talk about Microsoft buying Adobe (based on a passing mention that such an idea was on the Ballmer-Narayen “let’s team to beat Apple” agenda. -- Zdnet Blog

Application Round Opens for San Francisco Fellowships by ICANN

noreply@blogger.com (Bauani) — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 05:40:13 PDT

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ICANN is launching the 12th round of applications for the Fellowship program, to facilitate participation in ICANN's 40th International Public Meeting to be held San Francisco, California on 13-18 March 2011.

Over the last 10 meetings, the Fellowship program has proven to be a successful method of capacity building for the ICANN community, making sure global voices are heard in the wide variety of public forums that it holds. As CEO Rod Beckstrom said when addressing the Russian Internet Governance Forum in Moscow last May, "The Internet is a work in progress. It feeds and grows off ideas, and new ideas greatly affect its direction. Its most influential contributors are those who can see the possibilities that others don't. And the most powerful are those whose ideas trigger the imagination of others." We see the Fellowship program playing a major role in bringing those great ideas and idea makers into the Internet community.

Per the program charter, applicants must be citizens of economically eligible countries (ICANN uses the World Bank classification) and priority in selection is given to applicants who are current residents of the region that a ICANN meeting is being held in, as well as those who are active or interested in participating in ICANN and its supporting organizations and advisory committees. In this case, as the United States is not an economically eligible country, applicants from all other ICANN regions will be equally weighted (as long as applicant meets program minimum requirements). The Fellowship program will assist in covering airfare, hotel and a stipend. Recipients will be expected to actively participate in and contribute to ICANN processes, in and after the ICANN meeting. As always, registration for an ICANN meeting is free for anyone wanting to attend.

Applications for the meeting in San Francisco will be accepted from now until 1200 PDT (UTC -7) on 12 November 2010. More information, as well as a link to the application for a fellowship, is available online at: http://www.icann.org/en/fellowships/ if you encounter any problem.
