Redhat buys JBoss

As they publish Redhat have bought JBoss and I think it’s a very important new.

It has been told, lately, that Oracle was looking for that, but finally buyer has been Redhat. Now, that everything has finished I asked myself if that story about Oracle wouldn’t be a rumour from JBoss in order to improve price… who knows?

Anyway, I heard voices that afirm Oracle has destroyed very good Java server as Orion after buy it, also, I’ve hear voices that prefer JBoss being bought by Redhat better that Oracle.

Anyway, few of my mates says that Redhat offers good set of products:

Since Redhat it’s becoming one of the most important companyies in FOSS they have enough money to buy others companyies. Two years ago I was posting in a spanish lug that Oracle and Dell were injecting money in Redhat.

Free and Open Source solutions and bussines are here to stay. Now, that my job forces me to work with non free software I miss it very much.

Also my health problems

Via Slashdot I read this note about health problems related to the geek lifestyle although I don’t consider myself very geek in fact I suffer all this problems. I’m not paranoid, in fact I’m suffering this.
Short list is:

  1. Horrible Sleep Hygiene
  2. Headaches
  3. Back Pain
  4. Poor Attention Span

The latest one, as a read in the article, is not a healt problem but I never suffer attention problems and I feel that way, mainly since I try to study in the on line university I found myself such way. I know I note it since I start to study.

Philosphy + learning languages + engineering ?

What have in common philosohpy, learning languages and this engineering degree? No, the answer is not english is a subject.

The act of thinking is directly related with the language you use. You may have a clear experience if you talk more than one language. And also, with how good is you language: the better you language is, the better your thinking is. (Let me explain just one thing: better here stands for something related with complexity not with a moral virtue.)

This issue must be told in classrooms to all teens, ’cause they still keep arguing Why should I study english/catalonian/spanish/latin/greek if I’m in science branch? I don’t need all those languages, I just need to learn maths. By the way, teachers must explain maths are also a language also.

So, there’s a direct relation betwen your language quality and your reasoning quality: If you’re the master of your language then you’re the master of your brain, your thinking process, your thoughs, …

Until here nothing new for a mediocre philosophy student. Now, relation betwen languagues and engineering: Learning languagues and learning engineering both have in common problems solutions. Languagues has rules, also called syntax, grammar, … and elements, also called vocabulary, and practices, also called exercises or programms.

Like a engineering, where we’re taught in rules, for instance programming essentials, in elements, for instance reserved words in a programming language (again, computing programming is also a languague)…

This is what philosophy, learning languagues and engineering they all three have in common. I leave a lot of things to say but I wanna keep myself in essentials questions.

Two late things:

  1. have a look Language, engineering and philosophy that I read yesterday April 4 and don’t fear of philosophy, mates 🙂
  2. I my humble opinion there’s a big difference between engineering and languagues: engineering is a technical issue, languague is an art (and this is a very Plato point of view but I can’t get out my own shadow)
