Subject: Advanced Bash Scripting Guide: version 2.1 update
Date: 15 Sep 2003 17:50:01 GMT
Announcing the version 2.1 release of the "Advanced Bash Scripting Guide."
This e-book tutorial and reference is the equivalent of a 554-page print book.
With 267 illustrative examples, the book covers virtually every aspect of
scripting.
This e-book now contains printable reference cards, just like commercially
available computer tutorials.
The author invites comparisons with *any* of the commercially printed books on
shell scripting. His aim was to write "best of category" documentation.
"This tutorial assumes no previous knowledge of
scripting or programming, but progresses rapidly toward an
intermediate/advanced level of instruction ...all the while
sneaking in little snippets of UNIX wisdom and lore. It serves
as a textbook, a manual for self-study, and a reference
and source of knowledge on shell scripting techniques. The
exercises and heavily-commented examples invite active reader
participation, under the premise that the only way to really
learn scripting is to write scripts."
-- from the Introduction
License: Open Publication License
This means the book is *free* and freely distributable.

Rethink the Cool + the Shoe
phil knight had a dream. he'd sell shoes. he'd sell dreams.
he'd get rich. he'd use sweatshops if he had to.
then along came a new shoe. plain. simple. cheap. fair.
designed for only one thing: kicking phil's ass.
the unswoosher
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
For years, Nike was the undisputed champion of logo culture,
its swoosh an instant symbol of global cool.
Today, Phil Knight's Nike is a fading empire, badly hurt by
years of "brand damage" as activists and culture jammers
fought back against mindfuck marketing and dirty sweatshop labor.
Now a final challenge. We take on Phil at his own game - and win.
We turn the shoes we wear into a counterbranding game. The swoosh
versus the anti-swoosh. Which side are you on?
Adbusters has been doing R&D for more than a year, and guess what?
Making a shoe - a good shoe - isn't exactly rocket science.
With a network of supporters, we're getting ready to launch the
blackSpot sneaker, the world's first grassroots anti-brand.
You can help launch the blackSpot revolution.
THE BIG QUESTION:
Is it possible to take Phil Knight's billion-dollar
marketing momentum and, in a quick judo-like move, slap
him onto the mat with the power of his own PR thrust?
OUR KICK-ASS MARKETING STRATEGY >> http://blackspotsneaker.org/02/

Make a straight donation... it's a worthy cause
with the potential to set an historic precedent
that could be repeated in other industries and
usher in more grass roots version of capitalism
in which megacorps do not control every area of
our children's lives.

"Free Software and Digital Inclusion", a new book published in Brazil
Two of the directors of APC member in Rio de Janeiro, RITS, are
co-authors of "Free Software and Digital Inclusion" which was published
in Brazil in August. "The book is an interesting project," says RITS
information coordinator, Graciela Baroni Selaimen, "and it's part of an
even more interesting much larger digital inclusion initiative by the
Sao Paulo e-government which is setting up community telecentres in
marginal and often violent neighbourhoods throughout the city." RITS is
administering the telecentres and providing training in the use of free
software. - APCNews

From: wzisnews@yahoo.com (WZIS)
Subject: Ann: wzshSDK V4.4 released
I'm proud to announce that wzshSDK V4.4 has been released and can be
downloaded from http://wzce.tripod.com/
wzshSDK is a powerful Bourne Shell/Korn Shell/BASH script program
encrytion and protection software. System administrators and software
developers can use it to encrypt/protect those shell scripts that they
don't want them to be inspected and/or modified by others due to
password embedded in, great efforts they want to protect or whatever
reasons.
Unlike Cactus' SHELL-LOCK, wzshSDK provides strong encryption to
prevent protected scripts to be decrypted using a simple third party
program; also its builtin technology can effectively prevent decrypted
scripts to be captured by a "temp watch" kind of program.
wzshSDK also contains sophisticated mechanism to greatly reduce the
risk that decrypted scripts to be captured by using debugger.
wzshSDK's another powerful feature is it allows the user to make
his/her script program license protected such that he/she can get a
good control of his/her script program's distribution.
