Looks like debian is still using Apache 2.2.... no wonder nginx is gaining ground.
Apache 2.4 has OCSP stapling support which gives a huge boost to SSL performance.
Setup a windows XP virtual machine. Save a snapshot, or a VDI/VMDK file of a clean hard drive image. When they come, boot up the virtual machine in full screen. When they leave, restore the clean snapshot or clean hard drive image.
However look at the tuition for any school now - even working full time there's no way it would be possible to escape any modern college without significant debt.
Actually it is possible, and people do it all the time. Some earn scholarships, use AP credit from HS, have help from parents, or just work hard. I worked 25-30 hrs/week with a 3/4 course load and full time in summer with a 1/4 course load, tuition was $2000/semester so I paid $5k/yr, rent was $2500/yr. I worked full time during christmas break and other school breaks, bought textbooks online, rode a bicycle (w/ snow goggles in winter), no grants, minimal scholarship money, no debt. With no car and no cell phone, and by not living on campus, you can save a lot of money. If you find yourself short on cash, take less classes that semester, and take more hours at work.
Mormons believe the bible and in it that Jesus Christ, is the son of God, died on the cross, and was resurrected. Doesn't that make them christians? What makes them different from other christians is the fundamental belief that Jesus Christ also visited one of the lost tribes of Israel after he was resurrected "other sheep I have not of this fold..." as recorded in the Book of Mormon.
The site that goes over their beliefs is actually http://mormon.org/
For instance http://mormon.org/faq/baptism-for-the-dead is actually from the bible

Because ubuntu laptops in sleep mode still eat battery, most people will turn their laptop off to save battery. Ergo, ubuntu laptops get turned on and off 2-3x per day, and 8-10x for students, so boot time does matter.
So I downloaded it, and then ran pdftotext on it. http://pastebin.com/gXqKceEZ No story here. Just a rant from Ben Rooney. He'll feel like an idiot when he realizes its just a PDF.
Yes. The ipod touch can be purchased (refurbished 2nd gen) from apple.com for $149. You can get free graphing calculator apps. And it has 65k colors. Casio is probably doing this as a result of ipod touch pressure more than anything else.
Thats neat that they use SMS confirmation for call display for only $14 CDN. Is that a one time fee or an annual fee? In the US skype-in allows you to use your skype-in number for call display.
Its too bad about skype-in not being available in canada. I plan to move back there some day and would love it if my skype hardware (standalone skype phone and my ipod touch+microphone+skype) would just work with a CDN phone number. Its funny that its currently owned by the 'Canada Pension Plan Investment Board' which is a government board, and its the government laws that explicitly outlaw skype-in for something related to 911 laws.
Ctrl C and Ctrl V work in most gnome apps (see: gedit), but the ones that don't you can customize the app that way: example gnome-terminal (the console). However there is a good reason:
Ctrl-C the C is for cancel, so CTRL-C in gnome-terminal kills the current process. But the same things happens in XP's console (cmd.exe), CTRL-C won't copy and CTRL-V won't paste (for the same reasoning).
Keeping the computer in the living room doesn't prevent them from stumbling on bad stuff.
The purpose of a good filter is 2 fold:
1. prevent kids from stumbling onto bad stuff.
2. prevent kids them from using the internet to be curious (the parent is paying for the connection and has a right to block or allow whatever they want).
A customizable filter is best: k9 (win/mac). Customizable = if blocked it allows the user to invite the parent to override the block, (and add the site to a whitelist). This way, the kids can still access blocked items.
So who determines what gets blocked? With a customizable filter, it is the parent, and because they are paying for the internet connection, they have a right to control what comes in on the internet connection. When the kids move out and go to college, they are old enough they can make their own decisions.
However, I haven't found a customizable filter and free for linux yet. If you have an extra computer with 2 network cards you can try untangle os a firewall os with content filtering. I will try the opendns suggestions listed below, because it sounds like you can choose what categories are blocked and which aren't.
I later found out it was a dustclogged cpufan. My CPU was overheating... but my Pentium 4, instead of shutting off, was just running at a lower clockspeed to produce less heat.

I have always been confused when I see ubuntu boot-up times. Does this mean boot to the login screen or boot to a usable desktop via 'autologin'?

When he says 'switch to gmail' he really means switch to google apps for business. This allows you to use the gmail interface @yourbusiness.com

"Judge Lucie Fournier ordered Guerbuez to pay $100 US in damages and $100 US in punitive damages for each of the 4,366,386 spam messages he sent..."
4,366,386 * 200 USD = $873 million USD, not quite 1 billion

This looks like research from the University in Alberta (Edmonton) that the U of C Dinos are guilty of a traveling violation.
I wonder if they will spend the money to make windows updates work with 'other than IE'.
Mod parent up. I had a problem like this once.
I later found out it was a dustclogged cpufan. My CPU was overheating... but my Pentium 4, instead of shutting off, was just running at a lower clockspeed to produce less heat.
The poster said 'i think ubuntu downloads stuff faster than xp but I'm not sure... the RAM is different.'
So how did this make it to slashdot. Its not like anyone but the poster has the identical hardware to run the tests properly.
@poster: If the machines are so 'identical' then swap the memory and run the tests again.
