Interesting, but I taught myself solely from reference books... in fact, I can't learn from "teaching" books, they are too boring and go too slow, even the "advanced" onces... But maybe that is the difference between teaching yourself and teaching others...*shrug*
or in 1991/1992 is the gp mentions, it was just make config... all you had to do was answer the yes/no (sometimes module) questions and that was it... was kind of lengthy if you only wanted to change one thing, but not complicated...
out of the way is good, hard to get to is bad. I hate having to learn some secret code to change something, but I also hate having to make a million choices to get anything to work... Choices should be available, and easy to get to, if you are trying to get to them. Sensible defaults should be set but you should be able to change just about everything, and the documentation should exist to explain how, as well as how each change effects the overall program.
First, it says the page is too wide, then, it says the page is too long, making it out of proportion with it's wideness...
That simple contradiction alone is what makes me think the analysis is nonsense.
this is the 20th time I've read this same exact comment (10th for this article), and we all thought the same thing when we saw the headline, no need to say it out loud! why is this modded +5 insightful every single time? perhaps you should read before commenting, so should the mods
I have not been to a music store in a very long time (radio is sufficient for me since most music is crap these days), so I don't know if they sell mp3 gift cards, but I do know that ever since the napster name was bought out for a company that sells mp3s, I have seen napster gift cards (and soon after, other brands as well) in every single retail store I go to whether it be a department store, grocery store, convenience store or even furniture store.
Also they won't feel intimidated by all the technology in the rest of the world and start feeling that it is beyond them, feeling like there is too much to learn to be a part of that society and give up.
dos/windows move works this way, but linux does not unless they are across filesystems. If it is within the same filesystem mv just changes the 'header' information to a new location/new name, leaving the actual data alone.
It is true, in fact, by agreement, the movie producers/distributors take almost the entire money from the ticket sale..I don't remember exactly what the percentage is but somewhere around the 80-90 area...and the amount that they do get barely covers costs for maintaining the theaters, projectionists, managers, etc... the concessions stand is not just where the theaters make most of the money, it is where they make all of it. The movie MAKERS get the money from the ticket sales...they are seperate companies entirely... I'm not 100% sure but I think because of monopoly reasons they are not even allowed to be owned by the same people.

haha, at the top of my page their is an ad for a 1 exabyte automated tape-backup system... it's uncanny how relevant the ads are on /.
I thought that was pretty obvious myself...wonder why everyone is so cranky this morning...

that is assuming that the cost savings are passed on to the consumers...they most certainly aren't.
