Use "make menuconfig" or "make xconfig" to set the following options as marked below:

Device Drivers -->

Generic Driver Options -->

[ ] Select only drivers that don't need compile-time external firmware

[ ] Prevent firmware from being built

Power management options (ACPI, APM) --->

ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Support --->

[*] Include Custom DSDT

(/path/to/your/DSDT) Custom DSDT Table file to include

Note that the Custom DSDT option only shows up if you deselect the Generic Driver options shown.

I have done some more investigation on the sleep-on-ram issue with my laptop:

http://linuxfr.org/tips/263.html

I downloaded acpica-unix-20050211.tar.gz from:

http://www.intel.com/technology/iapc/acpi/downloads.htm

compiled with:

cd compiler

make

Then:

# cat /proc/acpi/dsdt > dsdt

# ./iasl -d dsdt

obtained a dsdl.dsl

That I could recompile without any errors:

[suspend_to_ram]# ./acpica-unix-20050211/compiler/iasl -tc dsdt.dsl

That said :-p, I bought an iRiver iFP-790, which is giving a good use of its FM-radio, voice recording and last and least, OGG/MP3 player.

There is an option in the voice recording to "auto detection", that freezes the recording if no sounds are hearded (quite cool) and also an option to auto-gain depending of the volume of the sounds.

voice009 recorded with auto detection level 1

voice010 recorded with auto detection level 2

voice011 recorded with auto detection level 3

After browsing Linux Server Security 2nd ed, I fell in love with the 13th chapter: Simple intrusion detection techniques, that talks about Tripwire, Fcheck and Snort.

An interesting note about Tripwire is that it is good precaution to leave a fake intrusion somewhere in your system so that if any bad soul entering the system wants to cheat on the tripwire's report, this fake intrusion will make it very difficult to fake. It is an enticing concept...

Anthropological and genetic evidence strongly suggests that a small subset of the humans in Africa some 30,000-50,000 years ago migrated in one or more waves out of northern Africa to subsequently populate the rest of the world.

5000 generations in 30,000-50,000 is rather difficult. The error lies in that 5000 generations suppose a migration 100,000 years ago, not 30,000-50,000

One of the things that we can do is to use environment friendly cleaning products. As a lot of you doubt about them (do they clean well, are they expensive..), just have a look at this really interesting website: http://www.ecover.com/. You will discover that you can buy them in many European countries and that there are a lot of different good products. If you are living in a country where they are not yet produce, please try to contact them and ask them to do so. In Belgium you can even fill the same bottles again if you go to a biologic shop, website shops in Flanders and Brussels :http://old.velt.be/Notendop/winkel_inl.htm.

Went to play futbol-sala (indoor-soccer) and got really tired.

Yet, endorphine levels quite good to spend the evening watching "The O.C." episodes. There is something catchy with this TV series that I like very much: most of the characters are really nice people, having some bad shots sometimes. But nice people, all in all. No malignous characters, no wolves in sheeps' clothes...

Some Meetups are based around activities—like knitting, foreign language practice, or getting dogs out to play. Others focus on organizing for a cause, whether getting a political candidate elected or planning the March for Women's Lives. At other Meetups, people swap information and stories—about a shared health condition, say, or life as a stay-at-home Mom.

Note that the Rotisserie comprises 40% of the total course grade. (Please note that we will not take into consideration the ratings that your peers give your rotisserie responses in our grading process, so don't worry about the ratings that you may get.) Here are some guidelines for composing a good rotisserie response:

*

Do all the related readings for the question. Good answers will show a deep exploration of the issue, not just an emotional reaction to the question posed. We are not looking for "proof" that you did the reading, citations from the readings, or anything that is not necessary to a thoughtful answer. We do not expect legal analyses beyond the concepts that we discuss in class. We do not expect research outside of the assigned readings.

* Write your answer in a word-processing program (outside of the Rotisserie). Doing this will allow you to easily edit and refine your answer before submitting it. We are not looking for stream-of-consciousness answers, we want well-thought out work. In addition, this will ensure that you have a copy of your answer if for some reason it does not get entered into the Rotisserie properly. This will help us to give you credit if something goes wrong with your submission.

* Don't wait until the last minute. You are responsible for knowing when you have Rotisserie answers due and for getting them in on time. Although the Rotisserie can handle quite a bit of load, it can get clogged up if everyone tries to submit at the same moment. To make sure you get your answer in on time, plan to submit it somewhat before the deadline.

* Pay attention to the word limits. We want your rotisserie answers to be short and well-crafted. Long, rambling answers can be turned into concise, thoughtful answers with a little editing.

* Have a thesis/take a position/make a point. Don't just show us that you have done the readings, make an argument.

* Don't worry about formality. We won't be grading you on your spelling, or whether you use fancy language. We are looking for your arguments and the reasons you use to back them up. If your argument is persuasive, a grammatical error will not count against you.
