1. Some statement will lost it's meaning or become ambiguous when translated to Indonesian
   
2. English phrases are often shorter than Indonesian
3. To practice English (for me and for the students)

Some students didn't have problem with this, but the rest complained at the end of the semester when they were asked to give feedback about how a lecturer taught for the whole semester.

I'm a little bit surprised to see that they were having problems with English language, even though it's being used in most of the textbooks that are used in the class and also they had some basic English training since high school (or even elementary school now held an English or Chinese class). I don't want them to get spoiled, so i asked them to read the English version (the original version, not the translated version), since sometimes first problem did appeared when we used the translated version.

Come on guys/gals... you are a college students, no longer a six years kids anymore. Grow up and be realistics. If you can't even learn English, how will you survive in the real world where language become a critical element of success?

This version will disable SSH Protocol 1 by default, so if you are still using it (it's a bad decision), you will have to enable it explicitly on your sshd_config configuration file. Another protection is all SSH Protocol 2 private keys will be protected by AES-128 instead of 3DES algorithm. You can get this when updating your passphrase or creating new keys.

Read the full announcement and visit the official website to get it.

With this collaboration, Google Docs will have better interoperability towards MS Office files (doc, xls, ppt).

I believe Google's idea of having a cloud computing environment are getting closer and closer to reality. Many of their applications are ready for production use and many individuals or companies has started to use them. I can't wait for the next update of Google Docs after this process.

No wonder if Google has been nominated as one of the best company in the world. Their ideas are fantastic, just like Apple who achieved the same nomination.

The Changelog gives you a detailed changes in this release (which as usual, contains many fixes along with any security fixes).

I'm compiling it right now and since it has been patched to work with libpng-1.4, i shouldn't get any problem compiling this version on my Slackware

I also compiled a new kernel 2.6.31.12, since i had problems with 2.6.31.7. It has a very low performance on copying files to another flash disk on EXT4. When i saw the Changelog for 2.6.31.8, i realized that this version has a lot of bugs in EXT4 file system, so i decided to get the latest one for 2.6.31.x version. Why wouldn't i go straight to 2.6.32 which is newer or 2.6.33 which is the latest? Based on review, 2.6.32 suffers more EXT4 problems, so i decided to avoid it. While for 2.6.33, it's too early to use that (even though Slackware-Current has started to use it for the default kernel stock currently). I will wait until -Stable release has been released by Greg.
