What Is Blackbox And Why Should I Get It?After taking a look at the screenshots displayed either in my gallery or in :iconblackboxdesktop: 's galleries, a lot of Deviants are asking me what is Blackbox and how (and why) should they use it. And it's a good thing they show interest, because after a period of hibernation, due to many factors (mostly developers dropping out) Blackbox is back with a vengeance.What Is Blackbox And Why Should I Get It?1 year ago in Personal More Like This
Well, Blackbox is a shell for Windows or a window manager for Linux, the styles (themes) being interchangeable between the two platforms, something unique in computing. In this essay I will only talk about the Windows flavor, since it's much more flexible than its Linux counterpart.
What is a shell? Well, it's the dressing over a cake, the clothing over a body, the greenery covering a bush. Every operating system has a shell. The Windows' native shell is Explorer, which is not only a file browser, like most of you may think. Delete Explorer and Windows crash. It's a fine shell, especially in the case of Windows 7, but it's h

TIP! Easy Way to Prevent Facebook TrackingFacebook surveils everyone's web browsing regardless of whether they have an account or not, as described in this paper: http://ssrn.com/abstract=1717563TIP! Easy Way to Prevent Facebook Tracking6 months ago in Happenings More Like This
A simple way to prevent any packets being sent to or received from Facebook is to set up filtering using iptables. On most GNU and Linux distributions, you can run the following three commands as root:
iptables -A INPUT -d facebook.com -j DROP
iptables -A OUTPUT -d facebook.com -j DROP
iptables -A FORWARD -d facebook.com -j DROP
The URL can be changed for other sites as well if you wish. Eg - for Twitter's "tweet" buttons run the same commands but using platform.twitter.com as the domain to reject.
For more documentation on iptables, I recommend the Arch Wiki - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Iptables

Neil ArmstrongApollo 11 was the spaceflight which landed the first humans, Americans Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, on the Moon on July 20, 1969, at 20:18 UTC. Armstrong became the first to step onto the lunar surface 6 hours later on July 21 at 02:56 UTC. A third member of the mission, Michael Collins, remained alone in lunar orbit until they returned from the surface about 15 hours later. All three astronauts returned to Earth safely after travelling in space for 8 days. and today on August 25,2012 we lost him so in his honor here are a couple of videos.Neil Armstrong9 months ago in Personal More Like This
This one was done back in 2009 for the 40th anniversary of his walk on the moon.
This one is the actual walk on the moon.

Updated Ghnomix icon theme for Linux---Updated Ghnomix icon theme for Linux1 year ago in Personal More Like This
---
27/02/2012 UPDATE
My current icon theme for Linux "Ghnomix".
Added 550 icons
Added font sf_Fedora_ (http://www.shyfonts.com) for better visualization of the inscriptions on icons.
Adjust, 236 icons.
Redrawn, 52 icons.
Added applications for Fedora, Ubuntu.
Added icons for KDE and Xfce.
The theme Ghnomix, is compatible with all Desktop Manager for Linux.
The icon package weighs 140 MB, 7zip file weighs only 30 MB.
I think for the next update, will transform all the icons. PNG, to make things lighter.
The icons are a bit heavy because they were designed in detail, and with many different levels and steps.
** downloaded and reinstalled the icon theme Ghnomix to be able to exploit to the fullest.
Definitely missing, some of the applications that each of you use on your Linux distribution and if you want, you can apply for the application you want, so I integrate it in the next update.
Please excuse my bad English .... I've never been good at learning foreign languag

Hello friendsHello friendsHello friends1 year ago in Personal More Like This
Sorry if they are not very present in this last period.
I have many problems with the ADSL line.
This note is just to give a warm hug to all my great friends Deviantart, even if you do not know physically, I'm very fond of, and affections are very many of you.
I am very happy to have made many friends with many people, even if they do not speak the same language (and I do not speak their language) we understand the same.
I just hope I have explained (my English is bad, hahahahah)
I love you all.:iconbigheartplz:
