Doctor DRUNK on a Highway
Saturday, December 27, 2014
This extends from streetwise pickpocket to a computer hacker.
When one is under the weather, I mean alcohol, he loses his inhibitions.
The other day, I met an old doctor drunk to his under belly and was trying to behave like a policeman.
I did not know he was a doctor who had lost his senses.
He wanted to push me to the middle and sit (in a seat for three).
Besides, I was reading a local paper (not kind to the ruling party) and was fully engrossed in it.
I refused to move and curtly told him go and sit in the middle.
There was another guy in the other corner.
I am reading the paper, please do not disturb me in English and asked him whether he needs a Sinhala translation.
This is my original sin and the defense.
In Sri-Lanka, presently 95% cannot speak in proper English (Sinhala superiority complex has originated form this basic flaw in line of communication) except the minority community.
The idea was to CUT SHORT my conversation.
There is basic weakness, no healthy conversation or alternative views.
I repeated my statement without waiting in Sinhala and pretended to be reading the paper but visibly angry inside.
That is where, the old guy older than me made his cardinal sin/s.
He said;
You should go and read the paper at home.
I saw you refusing other passengers, rudely.
Three
I am a doctor.
The third quip was an invitation for WAR.
I hit the roof top of the bus instantly, without any jolt from the driver.
I blasted him with all the words that I could gather in English, in one second.
When, he was leaving and getting down I warned him, never to CROSS my path again.
He was drunk.
I said; I pity the patients who is consulting this DRUNK DOCTOR.
I am particularly RASH on doctors.
One day, I blasted a young Lady Doctor who broke the queue, in a not so busy pharmacy door.
This is Sri-Lanka and how an average Buddhist shows his/her custom is primitive.
We see an ultra-violent election campaign, NOW.
Either, we are completely PASSIVE or overtly AGGRESSIVE.
What my bone of contention is, (in a working democracy) the very existence of democracy cannot survive, if we are at two extreme opposing poles.
I tried to take the middle ground and do a bit of reform, even in a mundane affair like commuting in a public conveyance.
But I am failing miserably.
The above story is for an average web browser, to take note.
There are no rules (I hate social media now) like in a public transport.
There are no guardian angels.
Everybody including me is at risk.
This is the time of the year hackers THRIVE taking your liberties specially if under the influence of alcohol.
ENJOY your SPIRITS.
Do not drive especially, the super Electronic HIGHWAY.
Give your computer a holiday.
Please DO NOT RESPOND to POP UPS.
I of course do a full upgrade of my very OLD computer towards the end of the year.
I just finished it.
Good Luck till I see you next year.
Thank you to all those who browsed my Linux Tit Bits.
Please ignore my political aberrations, even though I try to be neutral.
There is nothing called neutrality in politics.
It is always SELFISH DESIRE.

Debian the clear winner

Debian the clear winner
The Gold for Light and Heavy Weight Championship
Now that the industrial action is over, we brought the Hero to Gyro (not giro and we could not be bought by money circulating on illegal hands or corruption) except perhaps few individual who had vested interests and wanted to be heroes at the expense of the general body politics of our action perpetuated by sheer needs and not aspirations (fell far short of aspirations of accountability, transparency, fairness).
These instant Heroes had unassailable lead and they had to be pulled down to base level and gyrate them on the correct path lest all of us would be heading for disaster.
We never had the political will to bring Heroes to Zeros but the vision to come to the base level we reached way back in 2008 and gyrate in correct orbit instead of asking for miracles which we will never achieve the way we sink into dirty tricks and manipulations by undesirables.
I hope senses will come to body politics of the country, unless of course the voters will bring the Heroes to Zeroes in double quick time at the correct gyroscopic orbit and time and they are not stupid or donkeys who carry burden.
We are of course in the minority in that context and what we can provide is wisdom if not vision.
We came to equilibrium position neither zero nor hero but a position of comfort from where we can gyrate to greater heights if correct recognition is extended.
Otherwise history will take us backward (like in cricket) instead of forward.
Debian
Coming to IT industry where there are commercial heroes but the clear winner which gyrate at the correct orbit is Debian.
It was no surprise.
Score of above 3000 and well above the Gold Standard of 2500 for the standard CD.
For the heavy weight category it is within the Gold Mark where no other distribution has all the components at hand with over 30,000 package well tested.
It has gParted which is around 100 MiB with partition and security features.
It has Blender, Scribus and Inkscape.
Only missing component was O.E.M. component.
It did not have a printed book but thanks to French and the English translation is due soon and available on line as open source.
It has all the versions from Mini to KDE to Server.
It has multi-language support including Sinhala.
It does not pretend to be a (commercial) hero but the wise counsel to all the other distributions which include Ubuntu and extending a hand to Linux Mint currently.
Additionally it is forging with FreeBSD too.
It is the clear winner.
If I said without my marking scheme everybody will say I am biased. Now it is vindicated and flame wars are not the necessity but a feature of Linux and its multi-faceted distributions..
Now I can say with or without bias it is the one that guides us and the Gyroscope for years to come.
If you need a solid, stable and secure enhanced Linux, there is only one and only one.
It is called Debian.
It is not for the lazy souls and it is the one who wants to dig a lot, sweat a bit and enjoy a lot of the hard labour.
Nothing is easy in the IT World.
One has to go into simple command line and give commanding orders till midnight commander sleeps like a sleeping beauty!
Real Polities and WAR
Real Polities and WAR
War and Peace
Let me be forthright from the very outset.
I am writing this as a simple Buddhist who is totally against any war anywhere on this Planet Earth.
Hatred begets hatred.
Loving kindness brings harmony.
In Ceylon we had over 35 years of political hatred under JRJ (UNP) and Sirimovo (SLFP).
These two parties and their collateral, ruined Ceylon.
The breakaway offshoot parties from these two parties still carry hatred in Ceylon including LSSP, CP, MEP and JVP.
There are 80 odd registered parties in Ceylon and one is headed by a monk.
According to Buddha monks should not take part in politics or should not give advice to Kings, Queens and Presidents.
The latest in this development are Wira Wansa Associate Conglomerate and Champaka's new party of descent (Hate).
These two are offshoots of the old JVP lead by Wije (Wira) Weera who started a armed revolution in this country when there was no need for such action
Then there was no racial animosity in existence.
He started hating India to begin with.
It is believed North Korea was instrumental in creating this party of descent who used killing opponents in broad day light, as a political stunt and tool.
Now, I believe, India created both JVP and DJVP.
Less I talk about LTTE is better and it was a party of HATE from its origin and it systematically exterminated, all the other Moderate Tamil Parties.
TNA is the remnant collateral.
I have nothing but admiration for Mr.Sampanthan for his political stamina.
He is no more.
By the way, I do not understand how the Tamil political parties evolved in the North. They were obviously created in India to begin with.
Muslim parties analogy is simple.
When two dogs fight, the small dog steals the flesh of politics.
Here is the entry point for CIA.
CIA used Indian RAW as its collateral in creating descent in Ceylon just like in Ukraine
India hated Ceylon and feared Ceylon would supersede Singapore as a power keg of the Indian Ocean.
USA was eyeing Ceylon as a military base.
I know it as the first hand information by coincidence since, I protected the satellite in the surgical theater as a piece of surgical equipment not willingly but unknowingly.
It was hidden as a surgical equipment when the previous doctor in charge was the head of the clinical unit.
This doctor fled to United Kingdom fearing recrimination from the DJVP.
I was hanging around without a job during trouble times and I gladly filled his place.
India created DJVP (second RAW creation and the earlier creation was LTTE) in 1988-89 to scuttle the launch of this satellite.
Indira Gandhi was the architect of the first but I am not sure of the second, may be Rajiv Gandhi.
Only difference in Ukraine was it armed the Neo Nazis and Bandera in Ukraine for over a decade (equivalents to JVP and DJVP).
Both Republicans and Democrats without exception helped to create Russophobia.
CIA and MIC (Military industrial Complex) were direct beneficiary but they have now met their nemesis called Russians who withstood Nazis, during the World War II.
I have sympathy for average Ukrainians who are refugees in Poland and EU countries.
Of course, historically Poland had to stomach spill overs.
Coming to India and Indians they did not provide refugee status to Ceylonese Tamils.
In fact, there is step brotherly treatment of Tamils of Ceylon but Indians gladly take their dollars.
The typical Political Duplicity of Indians.
Currently, India while buying cheap Russian fuels and selling them back to EU countries 3 times the stock price is asking for a seat in the Security Council.
It is the real Geopolitical Duplicity.
Pakistan and the rest of the neutral countries should oppose double dealing Indians, and there should NOT be a place in the Security Council for India.
China obliterated Tibet.
Dalai Lama is a lame duck.
China fought two wars with India for a narrow stretch of land and should not be given a seat in the Security Council.
Instead South Africa deserves a place in the Security Council.
WHO is a colossal waste and should be abolished for the reason, allowing CIA to operate lethal viral laboratories in Ukraine to kill President Putin. There would have been over 22 experimental laboratories over there. When war broke out, the first thing Russians did was to take over these facilities with tell tale evidence and WHO is numb and dumb about these experimental laboratories which they have probably authorized, in the first instance.
One need not do anything to resurrect USA and UK personnel who suffer from radioactive injuries that they may have acquired while handling the Depleted Uranium.
Let the guys/girls who masterminded these operations die of lethal cancers.
France should be allowed to have Nuclear Plants in every city but they should not be allowed to buy Uranium from outside sources, at all.
They should dig and mine Uranium in France.
Not in West Africa.
No gas and fuel from Russia or any other country to France and UK until all the Depleted Uranium is utilized in the War Zone of their choice.
Above points are raised to show not only India but all except a few EU countries are Duplicity Giants.
This piece is not complete unless I make some references to Israel and Muslim conflict.
Both religions are essentially similar,
God based.
One branch arise from a legitimate child and other branch from an illegitimate child from same father.
The father was called Abraham.
Their God, I think was an intermediary by creating another hybrid child for humans and gods.
I am a guy who believes in, that the God has no relationship to human evolution.
If there was a hybrid child it would have been from an alien species who visited this planet millions of years ago having had sex with an evolving primate species.
By the way, the age of this planet is not 7000 years as according to the Bible and Quran but this planet is much more ancient and revising these texts according to at least the Sumerian artifacts, if not scientific is mandatory.
By the way, these two texts have many editions and are constantly changing with time.
Archaeologists and writers are born liars except for a few.
This comment applies to Bagawath Geetha, too.
I have a request for President Putin.
We took 35 years to end our war of attrition and we are totally bankrupt.
He should end the War (attrition till next Presidential Election in USA is prudent) soon, on his own accord with a Strategic Bomb (ideally no Nuclear and that is how we finished the World War II in Japan).
But here it is to avoid the World War III which is annihilation of all and sundry, near the border of Poland or on the head quarters of the Military Alliance of the EU, lest Russia too, go bankrupt with Esoteric Missiles of mass destruction.
Otherwise, MAD or Mutually Assured Destruction!
Postscript
Please note, I am not in Ceylon currently and if I post this post in a local post I will be categorized as a terrorist.
All Ceylonese are by default born terrorists thanks to our robust constitution.
I think Ceylon should not have a constitution but let our monks deliberate Security Council Debates, on monthly basis in every village in Ceylon and the UNO should fund these rabid monks.
By doing so, (debating security) as rabid dogs, fighting each other, they will exhaust their inbuilt anger and spent up steam, while the rest of the citizens can exercise their free and democratic rights only in their residential domains, if they possess any of their own but not rented out.
According to proposed amendments to the constitution tenants are terrorists with no legal rights.
In the alternative each monk should be provided with a Steam Deck and Drive with a big overhead TV to play "War Games" in preparation of the Security Council Debates.
By the way, Steam Deck iso was out just today.
It cannot be installed on a PC.
I have another proposal!
The rent for University Students should be raised by three times the local prices.
By doing so, we can reduce the number entering the Universities drastically and then having more dons than undergraduates in every university that fails to function with perennial strikes.
These perpetual strikes were created by NPP/JVP
The dons themselves can create creativity perpetually without students asking valid questions.

U.S.B. Multi Booting
This is the Final Update on preparing a Multi-booting USB.
YUMI
In spite of warning, by Peppermint, I installed YUMI Version One (using Debian Installer) on Ubuntu 14.04.
With lot of fiddling, I managed to Install few distributions on a 8 GB USB.
It installed everything including writing the boot menu.
This was written in Gambas programming language.
I did not investigate the reasons and what were the missing files.
Multi-booting USB (the follow up of YUMI)
Then from source-forge I got version 7 of multi-booting USB and installed it using Debian Installer and both attempts at launching it on Ubuntu 14.04 and Pinguy 14.04 failed due possibly to a missing dependency.
Sudo and root does not work and program crashes and disappears, never to be activated again.
This is a very dicey situation.
Multi-Sysytem from France works nicely on Peppermint, Pinguy and and Ubuntu.
It does not let you delete a distribution.
This is something available on Debian Multiboot-USB
I did not test it on Debian (I was bit lazy and Debian on 7 version is bit high and advanced for me) and it is probably a result of the distribution variability.
I have a request from both developer teams.
1. Multi-System should add the functionality to delete a distribution/s.
2. Multiboot-USB should work on the dependency and the distribution variation and specially the root and sudo administration.
3. UnetBootIn should work on both of the above issues and produce the third viable option (multi-booting and deletion of distributions) which is available for KDE desktops unlike Multi-System and Multiboot-USB.
I want both packages to succeed in the long run.
Both are pretty good.
Mind you we only had UnetBootIn, my favorite for different reasons.
It can be used on KDE desktops.
KDE guys and girls still cannot figure out and produce (Gnome the winner) a good USB Multi-Boot Utility.

Impotent Members of the Parliament -(පා පිසි)- Pa-Pisi

Impotent Members of the Parliament -Pa Pisi
Why I say we can run our affairs without Parliament and its Impotent Members
The Coronavirus has exposed the fallacy that we need a parliament to run our affairs.
In fact, current president has muted the parliament for his ad hoc method of governance.
I will go bit further, that we do not even need, a president with pompous.
This has been shown over and over in World History. All have failed
if not first in the second round and they were ousted and went into
exile or oblivion.
At the moment the country is run by intelligent and smart citizens doing their part without any supervision.
There is no "MaC Mafia% or "Pathale" or underground network operating now.
There are no third party dealers.
Ordinary vendor is coming out with his goods and bring them to the doorstep and no added charges asked.
What a turnaround?
The third party dealers are the ones that hoards good when prices
are low and dish out the last season rice when price is artificially
jacked up.
This mode of operation is supposed to be run by government goons and politicians with power.
This same ploy is applied to the vegetables, fish and any other perishable item.
Now producers have taken an initiative to deliver the good to the doorstep.
Marvelous idea at a critical time.
No need to go to the nearest city or township except for liquor.
I think the liquor may have come down in price with dealers marginalized.
The price may be cheaper, even lower than the production cost.
We do not need government servants supervising these activities.
What we need is the Village Headman or the Grama Sevaka only to certify the guy who is doing business is local.
We do not need police investigating irregularities in transport except checking the driving and vehicle licenses.
Things have simplified for better and the cost has come down.
We do not need Vasudeava to use P letter words and drive the people engine. Without them people can run affairs efficiently.
It is said in business less the control the better the outcome.
More control more problems.
In fact, Tamils in the North managed their affairs both during and after the War with minimum of Government.
I is happening in the South by default thanks to Coronavirus.
It is sugar, flour and Parippu or dhal the government need to worry and import, if they have money in the Central Bank.
It is empty by the way.
They have spent money on useless projects.
The road development that had been dragging for years in out neighborhood is completed with less supervision by the government.
That is something outstanding.
It is the local astute businessmen who can do the needful, having
removed the goons of government in power.
It does not matter who is in power.
