This is not a post of original content, I'm simply linking to interesting things I've read recently.

1. Israel: Linux-IL mailing list is inspecting some weird phenomenon. Looks like 012 ISP is blocking SSH packets which are  sent abroad.
2. Hebrew: this feature is too hidden.. Diego explains that how to enable left/right alignment switching by ctrl+shift. (Useful for RTL languages).  The "trick" works for QT, KDE (3+4) apps.
