I suggest looking at gentoo PD. Is has a lot of good documentation that helps get you through the setup phase of the machine.
Once the setup is done, you can use a friendly window manager (kde) to do just about anything.
CLI is excellent, as you can do just about anything with it. I typically use half a dozen or more xterms to do work on a linux box. And CLI knowledge comes in handy when setting up cron jobs and scripts. But it isn't a requirement if you are just "using" the box as your desktop.
Gentoo's guide to cups did the trick for me. Over all I'd say gentoo's documentation is second to none. I bought a new printer a couple months ago and decided to finally figure out what everyone was raving about with cups. For me it's been a decent print solution.
The funny thing about the grandparent's post is that I cannot get my dvd player working in windows, in either my wife's laptop, or my desktop. In linux they work though. Go figure.
Granted this isn't to say linux works perfectly for everything, but as a dvd player it works better than windows for me.
Um, I think North Korea is following in SCO's footsteps of extortion. Considering that they got a good deal out of Clinton a few years ago (decent chunk of cash for energy production), thye thought they'd try again with Bush. Only Bush isn't biting.
Also, consider that every country close to NK does not want NK to have nukes and such. But, NK only wants to talk to the US? Why is that do you think?
One might believe that the parent wrote his post in english, but I highly doubt it. It more sounds like a bunch of "medical" type terms strung together to make folks want to mod him up as informative.
All fine and good, until you realize that the President has the right to his own opinions too. Toss out the ol' free speech when it comes to Bible quotes, eh? Just so long as you get your porn.
Anyways, I'd say that would still fit indecent as far as general public goes. If you feel the need to be displaying your breasts to other folks, do it at home or a private place. Not in general public.
At some point we would have to collectively trust the bastards,
I was with you until this. Instead of scare tactics and fear mongering, I'd say that we have to trust them like we already have to trust them with out ballots.
Actually, there are many different focus styles in X, all under the control of the window manager. What you seem to be describing is called "sloppy focus".
I know kde supports it, but you'll have to find the option in the options menu as I don't use kde typically (except when showing windows users linux). In window maker the option is set in the wmprefs program also.
Another option is mouse focus, as which ever application the mouse is over get the focus, but I don't care for that type of focus since it requires the fingers to leave the keyboard.
How can RIAA claim any loss in salse when the people sharing files do not have the dispoable income to purchase Cds in the firs tplace?
Couple things here. What makes you think you deserve something simpley because you cannot afford it? Where I come from this is wrong. If I cannot afford something, I don't get it. Second, do you truly believe that everyone who does file sharing of copyrighted material cannot afford it? I know serveral folks that make more than $50k a year who file trading. They can afford the broadband and computer to do so, sorry, you are not "unable" to afford the copyrighted material. Now you are a liar and infringing on copyrights. Thirdly, when copyrighted material is sold, it is done so for a purpose. To make money, in a legal fashion. Copyright has existed in this country since nearly the beginning for a reason.
If you do not believe the price the labels put on their media is worth it, do not buy it. Personally I find the RIAA going after individual file traders the right tactic. I don't think the wide spread dragnets are right, but suing individuals who they know are trading their content is perfectly viable. Those people are breaking the law.
Putting it in your.login leaves it till you run the next interactive shell. In the.cshrc leaves it there till your next shell, interactive or not.
Anyways, what the heck is your shell doing making a world readable.history file anyways? I believe tcsh will ignore the umask and make it rw------- anyways. I'd have to double check that though.
Either way, I bet there is a good laugh in the parent post whichever side of the political spectrum you are on.
Basically saying the previous president was a whore in nearly every sense of the word and the current is far less scandaless. Or the media made too big of an issue out of the failings of the past president and does not look deep enough for the current president.
I knew this woman who once wrote for a travel magazine. The magazine would send her a couple ads for restaurants and attractions of a really exotic place (probably paid for by the places) and she would write up a story of her night on the town. Quite often if you looked up on a map she wouldn't get the directions quite right from attraction to attraction that "she visited."
Moral of the story, don't put a whole lot of weight in what you read always. Escpecially in the media as they have something to sell you, specifically the news print.
But then again, its kind of paradoxical of me to tell you not to believe everything you read.
I would rather say that C allows you to do some pretty complex things than to say C is complex. While there is the obfusicated C coding contest which will show you much worse (complex?) code, it is not that the language is at fault.
C is really quite simple. The number of keywords is few, the syntax is not terribley difficult. I'd rather think of C like legos, very simple, but powerful enough to build awesome creations.
Reading the other descriptions of Burning Man, I am guessing if you go, you totally disregard the Survival Guide as you probably disregard any Bible.

If you are going be using it to make money, you are doing pretty poorly. Infact, you are making less than 19k a year. That would probably put you in line for some goverment aid.
So, either you are lying or you aren't very good at what you do.

That's the thing about doing stuff. If you do it, you get to call the shots. Not always the popular way of doing things, but its the way it works.
Now, one thing that you do have the option to do is this:
Take all the.h files from X gpl'd qt and port the c++ over to windows. Tada! You have your gpl'd qt. If you don't want to do it, don't complain when you cannot use it gpl'd.
There are not free alternatives that compete against it in a comprehensive package. That is the point. Gtk is windowing/widget. Qt is much more. What package are you going to pair up with gtk to do your database access? Or any other component to the system you are writing?
You still don't seem to get it. $1500 for a product that increases your productivity that pays for itself is chump change.
The same arguments come up all the time in linux/windows TOC (I'm not taking sides here, just simpley another case). The cost of software is marginal to what you pay the people who use the software.

C is a fairly complex language, e.g.:
some_func( (void (*)(void*))x );
I would rather say that C allows you to do some pretty complex things than to say C is complex. While there is the obfusicated C coding contest which will show you much worse (complex?) code, it is not that the language is at fault.
