The Myth of Sisyphus

A philosophical essay by Albert Camus. No I do not believe in Camus's absurd, but in this essay some brilliant thoughts were states which I totally agree with.

"Much of our life is built on the hope for tomorrow yet tomorrow brings us closer to death and is the ultimate enemy;
People live as if they didn't know about the certainty of death; once stripped of its common romanticisms, the world is a foreign, strange and inhuman place; True knowledge is impossible and rationality and science cannot explain the world".
For Camus, absurd was the answer, living without any ethical rules is the solution. In other words living like animals, because he believed that abandoning reason and turning to God is "committing a philosophical suicide ".

Apart from Camus's crap, we are all Sisyphus , struggling in different ways, repeating the same mistakes over and over. In the most glorious moments one can imagine the upcoming suffering . C'est la vie .

Miss Hyde


I wonder , what would my Miss Hyde looks like
*********
It's not a good thing, in my opinion, not to have your own Mr/Mrs Hyde. The good thing is to keep hiding him/her.
*********
I guess I will not know, till I try the formula
********
I believe that if I asked " how do you imagine your demon ?" , I would get so many denials and some angelic answers.
********
and I hope it won't be too late for the world then
*******
Well, let me admit it , I've seen only one side of her, and she's so selfish.
Unfortunately, she escapes my control sometimes.

Ubuntu.. Reset root password

When I realized that I forgot the root password, I was worried that it might be difficult to reset it, especially for a linux newbie like me, but little googling relife my fears .
Reseting the root password is simply as follows:
~$ sudo passwd root
[sudo] password for user: ( type your password)
Enter new UNIX password: (type the new root password)
Retype new UNIX password: ( re Enter it)
passwd: password updated successfully ( congrats you changed the root password)
So easy !!!!!!!!

That makes me wonder , is changing root password that easy on other Distributions ?!!!
Will never know unless I try .

Up here, unrelated stuff , though they one thing in common....
