Right. On the International Space Station (ISS) began with the migration of operating systems on their laptops, they will stop using Windows for Debian 6 , reports ZDNet.

There is nothing new that the NASA International Space Station or make use of Linux, but it is this migration, that directly affects computers that astronauts used to a lesser extent, were using HEL clone Scientific Linux . Also, the first humanoid robot built up there makes use of Linux .

Now why leave out Windows in favor of Linux? Do not include these astronauts that Debian will not be able to use Photoshop, Microsoft Office or conditions? Not to mention playing Crysis 3 … All kidding aside, Keith Chuala, contractor United Space Alliance, computer operations manager in NASA space team leader and network integration of the ISS portable explains:

We migrated

In any case, the technical managers of the ESS did not want to pinch your fingers and have decided to go for Debian 6, which already has shown its good performance, instead of making the jump to the freshly baked Debian 7. So also do not have to change the wallpaper ;)

service storage and file synchronization cloud Ubuntu launches referral program, as do long similar services such as Dropbox. Basically it is to recruit new users and gain extra space.

referrals details1 You can earn extra space in Ubuntu One invite others

As you can see in the image above these lines, the method is always the same, just change the amount. For every new user to create an Ubuntu One account through your personal link, you will receive an additional 500 MB .

addition, the new user will also receive those 500 MB, which will add to the 5 GB that are offered for free to create an account.

As always too, there is a cap, which in this case are 40 invitations, which translates into 20 extra GB . Not bad, really.

just have to wait that Canonical can withstand the pull of cheaters out there. That does not happen as SpiderOak, they had to reduce their referral program from 50 to 10 GB for the abuse continued.

 Angry Birds 083928 620x363 SC20120322 Space, available for download

Let’s be honest: Angry Birds franchise needed to be renewed. Rovio games became the most successful and entertaining of recent years, but those we tested all three versions (traditional, Seasons and Rio) were asking something else. And Rovio knew exactly what to do.

Angry Birds Space is available for various platforms and a lot of promises hours of fun. The title received a dose of innovation required, but kept intact the foundations that made the franchise one of the most profitable and popular video game history.

Is it more fun to Angry Birds Space? zero gravity . As the actions of different levels occurring in space have to manage in settings where the aim is not only important but also the skill to take advantage of gravity and be much more effective shots.

Obviously this is not only highlights Angry Birds Space. The inclusion of new birds and renewed powers to those witnessed also helps make the experience more fun. Do not forget the excellent design of the scenarios and trends in the development of funds (some are very nice).

Angry Birds Space is the dose of fresh air needed Rovio franchise and the fans will love . While writing this paper I test the game on my Galaxy Tab and the truth that is incredible. At the end of the post I leave some screenshots, the game trailer and download links for all major platforms.

 Birds Angry Space Angry Space Birds arrive on March 22 for IOS, Android and Facebook

20 July 1969: the man steps on the moon for the first time in history. March 22, 2012: Angry Birds Birds are-with the permission of Buzz Lightyear, to infinity and beyond. After his publicized appearance on Facebook, the simple and entertaining game in recent years has release date for the respective platforms among which includes the aforementioned social networking and mobile operating systems IOS Apple and WIN Android from Google.

There are not many details about the new development and not expected much. After working as well in its various formats, that old adage “if it is not broke, do not try to fix” seems to be applied to the letter in this release. Perhaps the distinguishing feature that has wanted to print at this time is that it has enjoyed the cooperation of NASA and National Geographic , perhaps to give more realism to the locations (do you really this can get give more “depth” to this game?).

The promotional video reveals nothing more than a phrase which translates as “A small market for a bird, one giant leap for the kingdom of the birds” , words which compares well Europress with “one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind” Neil Armstrong by vociferous when it hit the Earth’s natural satellite in 1969 .

Bets for “Angry Birds Space” (which is no more than the name that will be announced at the end) range from an enhanced number of levels and new characters to 3D graphics. Others think that the formula should not change. The rest, meanwhile, expects installment of the series which already has 16 million followers on Facebook only and keeps countless thanks to their mobile devices.

The wait, stay with the respective video that leaves nothing but doubt and suspense (if desired).

The European Space Agency (ESA) hopes to promote greater collaboration with independent developers, and this could license some of its developments under Open Source licenses .

 this open source 500x395 European Space Agency wants to bet on the Open Source

This effort is one of the side effects of a case study of the Open Source Observatory and Repository (OSOR.eu).

As noted in The H Open, the ESA implements software for personal use , such as for evaluating and analyzing data from space missions.

Applications that

and released under Open Source licenses is POLSARPRO-a tool for manipulating data polarmétricos-BEAM-análiss remote sensing data, and NEST, used to analyze the records the mission data.

Apparently

it to release its code is quite complicated, because certain projects are closely linked to business who do not want such releases are made, but of course their efforts are still remarkable.

free storage and synchronization of files in the cloud of Canonical, Ubuntu One , improving its services to its users with up to 5 GB free in cloud at the same time get to million users .

Ubuntu ubuntuone One increases the 5 GB free space, reaching a million users

The news just published in OMG! Ubuntu! and it is really very positive, first for the current and future service users, who benefit from more space free, second to Canonical, which bases its proposal , slowly but steadily.

Given that the service is currently leading the ‘backup & sync’, Dropbox, arrived in April to 25 million users worldwide that is cross platform, while Ubuntu One available very recently for Android and IOS, has just launched a beta version for Windows and Linux beyond Ubuntu, only one of many , not bad leading the march.

We can only congratulate

Canonical Ubuntu by One and tell him that if he had tried just a little provide its software to other major Linux distributions , perhaps the number of users reached and gains were higher.

 NASA servers hacked 300px logo.svg Goddard Space Center (NASA) It seems that 2011 is the Year of the hacks and almost every week we with news related to computer attacks . The latest involves a Romanian hacker breached the security of a server related to Earth observation system at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center .

The hacker in question operates on the web under the name of TinKode , and appears to have a special interest in space agencies since a month ago exposed a security hole in the servants of the European Space Agency (ESA) . And most “sympathetic” of these attacks is that the pirate warned both entities to solve the problems .

id=”more-15085″> To test that was responsible for the violation of security breaches at NASA hacker published a screenshot where you can see what looks like an FTP server the Goddard Center .

is very interesting to read the excerpt from an interview via e-mail that made the editors of NetworkWorld with TinKode. Then I leave a part of the transcript translated into Spanish.

“Why does public security breaches? Is it for companies to correct the vulnerabilities faster

TinKode: Yes

[...] Would you like some of the space agencies to hire you as their security expert

TinKode I do not know. I do this because finding security holes is a hobby for me. If someone wants to hire, we can discuss it, no problem.

there any threat or action after exposing vulnerabilities in the websites of ESA, NASA and MySQL

TinKode: Until now, no. Do not do bad things. Only find and make public the information. After sending an email to that address the gaps. It’s like being a security auditor, but free “.
