What a significant day – a historical day … a day of national pride for Australia! The Australian government reading an apology address… Australia saying SORRY! Sorry to our indigenous people for their experience, the injustice – the many people alive today that were stolen from their parents, or had their own children taken from them by white Australians. Most Australians (and the majority of humanity for that matter) do not understand history. The consequence of injustice affects generation after generation until there is healing, and healing only comes when there is understanding. Until some one understands and shows concern. Sorry is the only way that the cycle of oppression and abuse can be broken. Sorry opens the way to forgiveness which brings healing. This is the rescue of a nation charred by a part of our own history. This is another step towards a reconciled Australia. This is a point of salvation. SORRY is good for all of us! Something that made me angry, was how some Austrailians in my neighbourhood responded to the idea of saying sorry. Their response was anger, criticism and indifference… Why should we say sorry for something we are not responsible for? I couldn’t think of a more inhumane and un-Australian point of view!! If saying SORRY brings hope and healing to those who have suffered crimes against humanity … then it doesn’t matter who is actually responsible for them. We are ALL responsible for the well being of Australia! We don’t have to be responsible for the injustice to say that we are SORRY! I am SORRY for the injustice that our indigenous people have suffered! It is only when you are partly responsible for the racism that history has ingrained into a white society against its indigenous people’s, that saying SORRY becomes so difficult – because you are actually admitting your own inclination towards a racist and prejiduce view. Or you are just being an irresponsible Australian! Your view would be different, if this was your story… For all of you not personally responsible for crimes committed against our indigenous people… Saying SORRY is saying this What happened to you was WRONG! I’m SORRY that this happened to you, and i want to be a part of your healing! I know that your healing will make a better Australia! Think on the concept of UBUNTU / “If I diminish you, I diminish myself… We are who we are because of each other!”
Tux (also known as Tux the Penguin) is the official mascot of the Linux kernel. / He is represented as an average penguin sitting on the ground with his flippers up.Tux does not accurately portray any specific one of the nineteen species of penguin, although he somewhat resembles an Adelie or perhaps a Gentoo penguin. He is often dressed or portrayed differently], depending on context.Crystal Linux icons are a style of drawing for Linux-based operating systems.
A motherboard is the central or primary circuit board making up a complex electronic system, such as a modern computer. It is also known as a mainboard, baseboard, system board, planar board or, on Apple computers, a logic board, and is sometimes abbreviated as mobo.Most motherboards produced today are designed for so-called IBM-compatible computers, which held over 96% of the global personal computer market in 2005.Motherboards for IBM-compatible computers are specifically covered in the PC motherboard article.A motherboard, like a backplane, provides the electrical connections by which the other components of the system communicate, but unlike a backplane also contains the central processing unit and other subsystems such as real time clock, and some peripheral interfaces. A typical desktop computer is built with the microprocessor, main memory, and other essential components on the motherboard. Other components such as external storage, controllers for video display and sound, and peripheral devices are typically attached to the motherboard via edge connectors and cables, although in modern computers it is increasingly common to integrate these “peripherals” into the motherboard.
In computing, a keyboard is a peripheral partially modeled after the typewriter keyboard.Physically, a keyboard is an arrangement of buttons, or keys. A keyboard typically has characters engraved or printed on the keys; in most cases, each press of a key corresponds to a single written symbol. However, to produce some symbols requires pressing and holding several keys simultaneously or in sequence; other keys do not produce any symbol, but instead affect the operation of the computer or the keyboard itself. See input method editor. / A majority of all keyboard keys produce letters, numbers or signs that are appropriate for the operator’s language. Other keys can produce actions when pressed, and other actions are available by the simultaneous pressing of more than one action key. (wikipedia.org)
