They are going to be just a monitor, a touch screen monitor, there will be a keyboard on the screen if you want to type anything, there will be no keyboard, mouse or touch pad.
Probably in the next 5 years they will be everywhere, you might not be able to buy one of these either

Happy Halloween, I still have to go get some treats
I have so much work too but I decided to work on Saturday too, it’s great to be a freelancer!
Comparing Programming Languages
I just found this great tool and I thought I’d share it, it compares performance and memory usage in any two programming languages, it has a good list of languages too.
For example, this is the comparison between PHP and C:

PHP vs Python:

Python vs Ruby:
http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/gp4/benchmark.php?test=all&lang=python&lang2=ruby
C vs Java:
http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/gp4/benchmark.php?test=all&lang=gcc&lang2=java
And finally C vs C++:

Cool free programming books you can download
Here is the link:

Use any of the mirror links to download these great books by Bruce Eckel.
I read his thinking in C++ a while ago and it’s really great.
His book on design patterns in Python is the one I’m reading now.
Problems installing ffmpeg: warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID X
Here is how to install ffmpeg:
1 – Create a file named “dag.repo” (no quotes) in “/etc/yum.repos.d”
2 – Copy and paste these lines in it:
[dag] name=Dag RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el$releasever/en/$basearch/dag gpgcheck=0 enabled=1
You will need a newline at the end of the file.
3 – Then run “yum install ffmpeg ffmpeg-devel” (no quotes)
This should install it with no issues, note that I set gpgcheck=0, if you search for it you will see a lot of people are suggesting: gpgcheck=1 which yields to something like:
warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID X
service X does not support chkconfig
Here is how to fix this:
(Assume the name of my script is myscript)
1 – Copy your script into /etc/init.d folder
2 – cd /etc/init.d
3 – chmod +x myscript
4 – Add these lines, including #, right after #!/bin/bash or #!/bin/sh:
# chkconfig: 2345 95 20
# description: Some description
# What your script does (not sure if this is necessary though)
# processname: myscript
5 – chkconfig –level 2345 myscript on
