Cultural diversity

Heri is the old joke about the journalists who organized a competition to write an article about elephants.

The titles were as follows:

English - Hunting Elephants in British East Africa
French - The Love Life of Elephants
Swede - Elephants and the Welfare State
Spaniard - Techniques of Elephant Fighting
Indian - The Elephant as a Means of Transportation before Railroads
Finn - What Elephants Think about Finland
German - The Origin and Development of the Indian Elephant from 1200 to 1950 (600 pages)
American - How to Breed Bigger and Better Elephants
Russian - How We Sent an Elephant to the Moon

Funny ? Really ? Think about cultural diversity now ? Is it funny now ? You guess :)

Currencies

The US Dollar has a long run before we have 1:1 between US dollar and EURO. At the end of the year, after the US elections, there come the change and US dollar will go to be stronger.

The council in Saudi Arabia on 22. 07 is a preparation to the step backward in the oil price race. At the moment and in the next 2 months the oil price will go up, the US dollar will stay at the position between 0,63 and 0,65 EUR.

In September the oil price will drop and the petro dollars must give the strength back to the US dollar.

The middle oil price will be 100-120 EUR, the US dollar somewhere between 0,70 and 0,75 EUR and going to the price of 0.80 EUR in 2010.

ksnapshot arrow keys and ctrl key have something common

I’m using a IBM laptop and have attached a ps/2 mouse and ps/2 keyboard trough a USB adapter on it.

On the machine is last ubuntu and last KDE running. When I pressed the arrow key together with shift keys on my keyboard, a screenshot was taken and a menu popped up. This also happens if i use ctrl key with arrow keys. To avoid this i have found a solution that is really simple :-).

What is the solution ?

Easy :-). Just plug in the keyboard directly into the machine or use a pure USB keyboard with it.

Bye.
