How does one patch KDE2 beneath FreeBSD?
47,955 votes
Nursultan Nazarbayev managed to reply the query severely, saying,
In Kazakh,
Ответ на этот вопрос лежит в чисто технической плоскости. Могу сказать, что в Казахстане сейчас усиленно развивается национальная индустрия программного обеспечения и думаю, что решения, основанные на технологии Open Supply имеют право на жизнь. Существует проект Национальной защищённой операционной системы в рамках государственной программы формирования электронного правительства, которая сейчас реализуется Агентством РК по информатизации и связи. Думаю, что подобные проекты достаточно перспективны. В связи с этим возникают определённые проблемы с подготовкой специалистов в соответствующих областях, но они все решаемы. Существуют курсы по изучению программного обеспечения Open Supply, на которых можно получить соответствующие знания.” Кроме того, считаю целесообразным упомянуть об истории возникновения вопроса. Данный вопрос был задан 8 мая 2004 года на чате #anime (аниме – японский жанр мультипликации) видимо в шутку, частично связанную с тем, что в числе почитателей аниме (анимешников) много unix-администраторов. по другой версии вопрос был серьёзно задан лицом, не знающим, что такое аниме, но предполагающим, что чат посвящён вопросам администрирования unix. С тех пор шутка приобрела большую популярность.
In English,
The reply to this query is only technical. I can say that Kazakhstan is now vigorously growing its personal software program business and I believe that options based mostly on open supply applied sciences must be thought-about. There’s a state program for e-government which is now being applied by the State Company of Data and Communication. I believe that such initiatives are fairly promising. On this regard, there are specific issues with the coaching of specialists in related fields, however they’re all being solved. There are programs on open supply software program the place you may get such information.
Additionally, I think about it acceptable to say the historical past of the difficulty. This query was requested on Might 8, 2004 on the chat #anime (anime – Japanese animation), apparently in jest, partly related to the truth that these anime lovers (animeshnikov) have been additionally UNIX directors. It was requested by somebody wanting to debate anime, however I suppose that the dialogue was dedicated to UNIX administration. Since then, the joke has turn into very talked-about.
