Maybe that book will be more useful to you than I thought.
It's a CLI command that is shorthand for "manual", and behaves similar to Windows' HELP command. Here are some commands you can use it on (or you can click on the command name to see the same info on that site). For example: man ls to find out more about the ls command.
Honestly, I don't consider myself to be very "good" (Some sizable chunks of Linux+, but not quite there yet...), but doing the things I recommended above allowed me to become much more comfortable than I had been.
can you recommend any good books on the topic?
I find the Linux Pocket Guide ($10, ISBN 13: 9780596006280) useful, but fundamentally it is a collection of simplified man pages.
The real value in it is telling you what command to use man on, without having to piece together information from Google.
However, none of the Linux users I know ever took a class; they just seem to "know".
Break something (wifi is fun~). Google on how to fix it rather than reinstall to make it all go away. Rinse and repeat with something else.
Use a distro that doesn't do everything for you. (Debian > Ubuntu, Slackware/Gentoo/LFS > * )
Install a "base" system: No X or GUI apps on install, you need to install them after the fact. Don't install Gnome/KDE, just X and the apps you want to use.
Since the USPTO is a *federal agency*, wouldn't that make it, like, a federal offense to knowingly submit a patent application that you KNOW is invalid because of prior art?
That would depend on legislation.
And it could be difficult to prove intent, in any case.
Laser toys aren't cheap, you'd need quite a few to cover the whole country, you would need to be able to place them strategically and hold that area from ground attack, you would need a way to defend them from the less-vulnerable Predators and accompanying fighter jets...
Basically, if it was feasible they would be trying this with the Predators that are already there.
But anyhow, if you're curious, the SR-71 flew at like 85 000 feet and the Soviet's (and everyone else it overflew) tried to shoot it down. So there's your benchmark.
Eh, seems like a fallacy to me. Back when planes were propeller driven, they would start shaking themselves apart as they approached 700 mph (too close to the speed of sound). So, by analogy, saying that the blimp at 65K should be safe because a jet was safe at 85K is like saying planes capable of 535 mph were safe because the best could only do 700.
Slashdot Mirror
Ever hear of window screens?
...randomly moving objects that have adapted to evading hungry predators?
Hungry predators move, cast shadows, etc. A laser system sits there and fries the mosquito from a range far beyond the mosquito's sensory perception.
Does AMD have any architectures not based on x86 to fall back on?

Perhaps we can pitch it better.
Management: "How much does it cost?"
IT: "Red Hat gives it away for free and sells support contracts for $x, but we are not required to purchase support in order to use it.
If my corporation buys services from global player say HP
Umm, OK
"HP"
Wasn't it $40 million not so many years ago?
Like Internet Explorer!

Or you could peg the bandwidth of a dozen different downloads (bittorrent).
And then we start mounting ISIS with remote-control gun turrets...
Sounds like fun.
Once you get passed the paradigm of traveling internationally, I don't think distance is a major factor thereafter.
I suspect that RH is particularly worried about the recent rise in M$ patent activity (think: Tom Tom).
Maybe we'll finally have the complete list of 235 patents MS says open source infringes on.

Slashdot users are fucking bastards
your are more likely to have your penis stung by bees rather than getting laid.
Try to be more consistent, please
It seems that Netflix is significantly throttling Watch Instantly users down to an unusable cap â" in my case, 48 kbps
That's about the cumulative bandwidth Clearwire gives me on some days.
(on the PC)
They must have partnered with Apple.
I'm sure the designers will be able to find some room on board for a self-destruct.
At least uploading stuff into someone else's brain isn't difficult. Hell. I just did it to you.
But that process is slow and unreliable, and requires a working system to receive it. Kind of like TCP/IP as opposed to drive cloning.
Those Kirovs are such a pain, although I don't remember how I would deal with them when playing (Can't get it to work in WINE)
Fair enough, although this guy makes an impressive anti-hydrogen argument.
And did I mention the need for a very impressive generator?

what really gets me is that they are building uav's which can loiter at 65,000 on solar power. why use a much slower dirigible?
How good is UAV radar?
