Give me that old time VT100, Give me that old time VT100. It was good enough for Dennis Ritchie, it was good enough for Dennis Ritchie, it was good enough for Dennis Ritchie-- and it's good enough for me!

. Instead, BSD ports will go download and compile everything, then request the root password later, wasting the user's time if she doesn't have the admin around.
No it doesn't. It can't, unless permissions have been changed.
Unless the user has specified otherwise, the download will go to/usr/ports/distfiles, to which the user has no write permission. If the source *does* exist, it will attempt to unpack it in/usr/ports/category/thisport/work, and fail for lack of write permission.
The average number of other machines infected is a function of the chance of a user actually falling for it [ f(p_i)]. If the average number of additional machines infected is ggreater than 1, the virus will gorw; if it is less than 1, the virus will waste away.
Small changes in the probility can easily affect the average number infected. I had a formula written, but it wawsn't quite right. Rather than getting into an argument about the exact infinite series to use, let's just stay with the simple case:)
What matters is that there is a critical cutoff probability p_i such that if the chance of infcection is above this, the virus will spread, while if the probability is below this, it begins to die out. Small changes in the mean number of machines infected by each machine coudl push this number above and below the critical value of 1.
Err, are there really package systems that *don't* let you do this?
Under the FreeBSD ports system, you simply set $PREFIX to wherever you want things to happen. While this is probably not obvious to grandma, it would just come to a script to
1) add $HOME/.programs to the relevant paths 2) add the "mypackage" script to $HOME/.programs/bin which sets $PREFIX and passess the rest of the argments.
It's been a few years since I've used dpkg, but I'm pretty sure that it had similar options, and I always assumed that rpms could do something similar.
While many don't notice, the *real* reason that Americans make fun of the French, and everyone mocks Microsoft, is that it's *easy*--they do all the work for us, and we need only repeat what they said.
However, at the moment France has 52% and Microsoft 45% of the "saying things so stupid that we get mocked just by people repeating it" market. This combination would put a whopping 97% of this market in the same hands!

In the old Pink Panther cartoons (not the goofy newer ones where he talks), there was a sequence in which he responded to the alarm by flattening it with a hammer.
Then, still asleep, he dropped it into a drawer full of silmilarly flattened clocks.

Not for everyone. One of the best pieces of advice I've seen for beginning instructors is that humor is wonderful in the classroom--but that if you don't have a sense of humor, don't try to fake it.
And society *does* need folks without a sense of humor--where would the IRS be without them?

yes, but not for the reason you suggest.
France dreams not of a *new* world order, but of the return of an older order in which (rightly or wrongly) they were perceived as dominant.

I'm around 80 or 90 wpm (used to be over 100 on a manual, but . . .). The "teh" and "th emistake" come up as I slow down.
THe homophones seem to occur at any speed, as do the second capitals as in this sentence.
Not a problem--Mrs. hawk would be quite unhappy were he to date anyone else :)
