YamiHoshi Tech

Ever had a server or a desktop crashed?
You’ll likely want to go to the power button.
No!
This could harm your disk drives (including the mounted ones).
Relst told me about REISUB.
What does it do?
It’ll kill all Applications, unmount all drives (USB Pen Drives, CD’s, DVD’s, other HDD/SDD’s, etc.) and reboot your system.
This is a lot safer, since there isn’t a chance of making damage to your system.
You can use it like this:

1. Hold Alt+Print Screen.
2. Press B, while holding down the other 2 buttons.
3. There is no 3rd step.

It’ll reboot safely now.
If you want to try it out yourself, try to overload your system, until it crashes, and do this.
Well, it will also work without crashing your system. :-P

Good luck!

This is a new series, inspired by the Get a Mac commercials.
In this series, the latest versions of Windows, Mac OS X and Ubuntu will be compared to each other, depending on the topic.
Each topic has max 10 points, and for every point, an OS can get a score between 1-10.
When all scores are given, we do it like this:
Mac OS X has a total points of 78.
78 / 10 = 7,8.
So Mac OS X gets a 7,8.

Now finally, a new Nintenlord version!
Wait what?!
Nintenlord?!
That’s right!
Nintenlord is now known as YamiHoshi Tech, which is released with the code name 7.0 Razem.
Razem is Polish for Together.
That means, YamiHoshi Tech, YamiHoshi Story and other YamiHoshi Apps on 1 domain name!

Nintenlord X will redirecht to YamiHoshi Tech in a few days.

Note that iBus is the new SCIM in Ubuntu 9.10 and later, and Linux Mint 8 and later.
So for the people that use an older version of the OS, there’s no need to follow this tutorial, since it already works fine with Flash Player.
Oh, and both iBus and SCIM are the Linux version of Microsoft IME.

You might been noting that you can’t type Japanese, Korean or any other non-Latin letters in a Flash based application (or website, note that we mainly focus on websites here).
The current version of Adobe Flash Player is “10.0.42.34″.
Users of iBus, however, can’t get it to work on this version.
The solution: Adobe Flash Player “10.1.51.66″.
But beware, install it at your own risk!
This version is still in Beta!
Some things like Live Streaming on Nico Nico Douga can stop working.
Since it’s very hard to find it, allow me to show you the way, through CW-Server.
Run the installer through the Terminal, and follow the instructions.

Note: In this tutorial, no commercial games were used.
And keep away from commercial ROM’s!

If you have a Wii, you can download lots of games from the Wii Shop Channel.
But Prototypes, that’s not included, and it never will.
Solution: Emulators!

What you need
Wii.
Homebrew Channel, and a way to install it (depending on your version).
An Emulator of choise.
The Prototypes (for other ones, Google is your friend).
A computer to download and place it on a:
SD Card.

After installing Homebrew Channel
Prepare your SD card.
Place all the Emulators in the /apps folder.
The ROMs depend on the Emulator (look at the README for it).
Put your SD card in your Wii and fire up your Wii.
Now, go to the Homebrew Channel.
Load an Emulator.
And load a ROM.
For SNES and MegaDrive prototypes, I’d recommend to use the Wii Classic controller, and for NES prototypes, a Wii Remote.

Times to times, Windows users use “Games” as the main reason for Linux to suck.
Linux’s main solution: Wine, CrossOver or CeDeGa.
But I knew, there are native Linux games available, besides emulators and Mudkipz.

Ones I’ve heard something about PlayDEB as a main source for ‘all’ Linux games.
At least, lots of games.
But they’re all free and Open-Source games!
Such games most likely have a lack of a good story line.
I knew there has to be more!
So I did some research for Commercial games on Linux.
Without any problems, I’ve found a very long list of all Free, Modified and Commercial games for Linux!
Click here for the list.
I’ve also found some known games in it, like Quake 3 and 4, Medal of Honor, Unreal Tournament, Serious Sam, DOOM 3, and more!

But if you’re a serious gamer for Need For Speed, GTA, and such, you still need Windoze or a game console.

We from The CW-Network have got an own Download Server.
At least, for legal content only.
ROM downloaders have to use aDrive.
There’s not much, but it sure is worth to take a look. ;-)

Because I’ve been importing lots of DS games from Japan lately, and also been watching lots of Anime, I’ve dicided to learn the Japanese language, which started in summer holiday 2008.

I’ve quickly found a DS Homebrew App to learn the Hiragana and Katakana, but it didn’t contain any Kanji, words, grammar or spelling.
So I’ve found another Homebrew App, which learns the words, but keeps freezing on any card after 2 minutes.
So I’ve temporary downloaded My Japanese Coach, but it got boring.

Okay, so the DS wasn’t great for learning!
I’ve once brought the Dutch magazine Computer Idee, with language courses at UniLang, but the site is to complicated.
I’ve also found real schools, like LOI and NTI, but you have to pay for 0% support.

So a few days ago, a good friend over at MSN told me about Livemocha.
The site looked very nice, so I’ve registered.
Now I can do any language course for free!
And I get even support easly!
This is how it works:

You choose the languages you speak, and on which level.
If you speak Native in that language, you’re automatically a teacher of that language.
And of course you choose the languages you want to learn, which are automatically the ones you’re studying at.
After both teaching and learning, you get some points.
Beside learning and teaching, it’s also a perfect way to meet new friends, all over the world.
They can help you on your course, but you can also chat with each other, in order to know each other better.
How the courses work can’t been told, since every course is different.
Like Japanese has Learning, Review, Describe and Voice, while Korean has just Learnling and Review.
First leasons are like 私は金持ちです、あなたは貧乏です、この人早瀬っています。
They mean something like “I am rich, you are poor, that person is thin”.

The great war has begun!
We’ve excluded the OS’s like CLI, Kukki, Android, etc.
Just the most important ones.
