Where BPL 2008/2009 will broadcasted?

Until now Barclays Premiere League 2008/2009 has not announced where it will be shown on kable tv in Indonesia. ASTRO Indonesia for last year who broadcast this League does not give the custumer information about this program. The news said that ASTRO Indonesia will not broadcast this program because internal problem. Several people in internet said that AORA TV (the new Cable TV in Indonesia) will broadcast it but when i call the custumer service they do not give the information.

But surely this BPL 2008/2009 will not broadcast free in terestrial TV in Indonesia.

GRASS GIS

Geographic Resources Analysis Support System

Known as GRASS.This software is an opensource . Lots using in UNIX operating system, as linux. But today this software can be install in windows operating system. In my experience to install GRASS in LINUX or WINDOWS is not just simple. Because i am not a programer so it is realy difficult to install on linux although in binary.

GRASS is Geographic Information System (GIS) that used to analyze and geospatial data managemen, image processing, map productin, spatial modelling, dan visualization. Nowadays GRASS used inacademic and comersial in worldwide, likei government agents and environment consultan.

GRASS development in indonesia generaly on academic is not develope well,probaby caused this software is not to familyar.

Let's share our experience abaout GRASS. I'd love to share
