Welcome to NYLXS Tameek. We are a volunter group, not so much as a lug.
We teach a lot of classes, and in fact, the three new workshops are a part
of our educational efforts. We hope that you'll join on and learn by doing.
NYLXS members have become assets throughout the area, and our class members
make a formable group of coders employed around the country.
Join us with the C workshop. We also have a library of nearly 150 texts which
we use as references or for lending. Other things we've done is work on a
Journal, a radio show, video lectures, created conferences and much more.

So many immigrant groups have swept through our town that Brooklyn, like Atlantis, reaches mythological proportions in the mind of the world - RI Safir 1998
http://fairuse.nylxs.com DRM is THEFT - We are the STAKEHOLDERS - RI Safir 2002
"Yeah - I write Free Software...so SUE ME"
"The tremendous problem we face is that we are becoming sharecroppers to our own cultural heritage -- we need the ability to participate in our own society."
"> I'm an engineer. I choose the best tool for the job, politics be damned.<
You must be a stupid engineer then, because politcs and technology have been attached at the hip since the 1st dynasty in Ancient Egypt. I guess you missed that one."
