War at their worst, men at their best

The INTIMATE ENEMY Salah satu film terindah yg pernah gw tonton….4.99 star out of 5 beli sama si kopral kmaren di pajak usu…..cuma ending desersi si battle-worn sergeant tu aja yg dak mantap
The film is an incredible commentary on the inhumanity of war….no matter how innocent and good one goes to war he is almost certain to become a beast and a murderer in the end. I highly recommend this film. Every soldier who is about to be deployed to a war zone should watch Intimate Enemies. Its simplest message is: war corrupts the human soul and there are no winners once the shooting stops.

This movie was unfortunately underpromoted and slipped virtually unnoticed through the theaters, leaving most of us to catch it in the video stores. I am glad I came across it.

It’s 1959, at the height of the Algerian rebellion against French rule. Idealistic Lieutenant Terrien (Benoit Magimel) is sent to lead a French battalion on a mission to take out an elusive rebel leader. Appalled by French torture techniques, Terrien clashes with his war-hardened sergeant, Dougnac (Albert Dupontel), who assures him that his idealism won’t last once he’s witnessed the horrors perpetrated by the enemy. Hardly the most original premise for a war film, but director Florent Siri’s take on the plight of the Algerians throws up a withering parallel that raises it above the ordinary.

The brutal legacy of the Algerian war forms the heart of filmmaker Florent Emilio Siri’s stark period drama concerning a young French soldier confronted by the horrors of war. Lieutenant Terrien (Benoit Magimel) has been dispatched to one of the most remote regions of Algeria to replace an officer who was killed in a recent skirmish. But this war is much more complicated than Lieutenant Terrien ever anticipated, and before long he is forced to confront a World War II French Army veteran willing to kill the soldiers with whom he once served in order to secure the independence of his birthplace. When the fellaghas (Algerian national fighters) massacre an entire village in retaliation for a visit from the French, Lieutenant Terrien vows to remain calm and professional despite the unspeakable horrors that greet him with each passing day. On the other side of the coin is battle-hardened Sergeant Dougnac (Albert Dupontel), a soldier who has seen more than his fair share of combat and stands firm in the belief that this brand of brutality can only be confronted with equal measures of barbarity. Later, Lieutenant Terrien meets a young boy who miraculously survived the massacre of his village and is forced to see the conflict through the innocent eyes of a child

Beware Of Shady Buyer

If you’re remote developer working from gig to gig for client who located at the other end of the world you should beware of shady buyer.
here is the excerpt:
Sometimes, a buyer will ask for more examples of your work or to complete a small test-project to see if you’re able to complete the project at hand. If they ask you to do any significant portion of the project they are hiring you for, then you should be very wary! At times, shady buyers will try to get you and the other applicants to do all of the project in sections for free. If they want you to work on the actual project before hiring, then that’s probably the case.

Imagine you just spent a hundred hours working on a prototype for a buyer. Now imagine that you were dumb enough to send them the source code before you got paid. Even worse, the prototype is good enough for the buyer, and you sent them the binary! Those are classic mistakes made by trusting (read: new) programmers. You can’t afford to give away your work when the buyer can turn around and send that source code off to someone else to be finished for less than they would pay you. The buyer might even say that your code is “not up to their standards” and that they would never use it, but you have absolutely no reason to trust the buyer unless you have established a long-term relationship with him or her. Even so, it’s still good business to protect your work.

REALbasic for iPhone?

SDK definitely, maybe
from www.theregister.com

Macworld 2008
Uncertainty over Apple’s iPhone SDK is making a least one potential partner cautious about backing the phone, despite its popularity.

Geoff, the president and chief executive of REAL Software (the company that created REALbasic), has expressed interest in porting his company’s cross-platform language to the iPhone as part of a potential mobile strategy.

He said support for the iPhone was a logical choice, but he also told The Register, that one reason for holding off is to see what Apple allows developers to actually do with the SDK.

“There are a lot of assumptions about what the SDK will let people do,” Perlman said. “We have to wait and see what the SDK looks like.”

Spread the Word: 7 Reasons to Learn and Use Rebol
Rebol is an extraordinary tool, but it’s relatively young and unknown. To become more useful and mature, it needs the support of a growing user base. New modules, dialects, and useful functions are created by active coders, and that helps make Rebol even more powerful. If you like the benefits that Rebol offers, take a moment and send this program to a friend. Doing that will help to spread the “Rebolution”

Compared to other development environments, Rebol is tiny. In it’s heaviest uncompressed form, the Rebol interpreter is ~600k. You can distribute the entire compressed language, including the interpreter, built-in documentation, and more features than can be found in other multimegabyte development environments, in 100k-400k – depending on the version you choose.

Mon Colonel

Mon Colonel

A “Reformed Colonel” is found dead in Paris, a couple of decades after Algeria’s struggle for independence was won from France. Lieutenant Galois (Cécile De France) is assigned the investigation of this murder. She receives the diary of Lieutenent Guy Rossi (Robinson Stévenin) who served under The Colonel (Olivier Gourmet)in Algeria in 1956, and has been reported as missing in action since 1957. The revelations found in Rossi’s diary go far beyond The Colonel’s actions in Algeria, and give an insight on how dirty Algeria’s War for Independence really was. Written by Gonz30

When the extreme rightist retired with amnesty Colonel Raoul Duplan is deadly shot in his house, Detective Phillipe from the police department investigates the case. Lieutenant Galois is assigned by the high command of the army to follow the investigations of the murder and prepare reports with her findings. Without any lead, she receives some pages of the diary of Lieutenant Guy Rossi with a message telling that the colonel died in Saint Arnaud. Lieutenant Galois reads the pages and discovers that Rossi was a just-graduated lawyer with a broken heart because his girlfriend Isabelle left him that volunteered to the French army in 1955 and served under the command of the colonel in Algeria. Every day, the curious Galois receives a correspondence with the sequel of the diary disclosing details of the relationship of Rossi with the colonel until she discloses the identity and the motives of the killer.
