Time to buy a book on unix/linux and read it friend. There are several ways to get to an executable. If it is installed into/usr/local/bin then just be sure it is in your PATH (see/etc/profile or $HOME/.bash_profile). Alternatively you can create a symlink into your ~/bin directory (assuming that ~/bin is in your PATH),
ln -s/usr/local/bin/quake2 ~/bin
Another method is to create an alias and put it into your ~/.bashrc file,
alias quake=/usr/local/bin/quake2
There is little reason to relocate an rpm for the reasons you give. You might want to relocate a program to test it, if it's already installed on your system, otherwise, programs should go where you'd expect to find them (having config files in or under/etc, for example, is something that you come to expect, if you relocate then you have to go to/otherdir/etc.
If you don't know about www.linuxdoc.org go there and read the Bash HOWTO.
Is this band (or more likely their fearless leader, whatshisname) stupid or just plain stupid? Does he have no idea how damaging his (their) reputation would be if they were successful with this?
I've never been much of a fan of Metallica which I found a bit too commercial (how true that has proved to be) preferring the likes of Black Flag, Motorhead, No Means No among others during the glory days of hardcore metal in the 80's, so it's no loss for me. But I suspect there are soon to be ex-fans of Metallica at 11 major American Universities.
It don't matter how much you know, once you hit a certain magical age (which appears to be in the mid-thirties) your resume just magically disappears for a lot of tech companies. Fucking eediots.
Ever feel like you've missed every goddamn boat that's come in. The boom in the seventies and I'm in high school, the eighties University, the early nineties recession (horray low pay), the late nineties boom too old. Fuck fuck fuck.
Most likely because they were talented and saw their opportunity knock in the recent upsurge in tech salaries, especially for experts. And the salaries at most Universities and Colleges don't help the matter.
Anyway, most CS programs belong in technical schools, but that's another can o' worms.

GPG vs. PGP?
·
· Score: 1
PGP, on the other hand, has commands like -a meaning armor, and -ka meaning add-key, which is confusing
This is a good point. The PGP command line has been a mutating monster over the years. Gnu Gnows command lines.
I'd say the biggest advantage of PHP over perl is readability. Perl can be so bloody obfuscated that picking up someone else's scripts can be a real !#%! pain in the ass. I use perl much more that php at this point because I use perl mostly for sysadmin type scripting. But if I were going to get serious about web programming I'd use PHP in a flash (no pun intended).
I suppose it remains to be seen how obfuscated the PHP coders can get.
I just wish that they wouldn't have called it gpg. For us dyslexics life can be complicated. gpg? pgp? What the hell do I have installed on *this* system?
It allegedly took the programmers 5 years to write the drivers for this thing (I'm not even sure what it does after all of this). I wonder how long it took the hackers to write their drivers.
You don't *need* to use windows to do this but it can be a better way to do things (the WSAsyncSelect call, for example) in the windoze environment. And at the client level this is almost always the best thing to do.
Microsoft hardware is an oxymoron. Sorry, that should read, reliable microsoft hardware is an oxymoron (okay, that applies to microsoft software too.) Their mice were overpriced and broke down just as much as the 10$ competitors. Their keyboards were similarly priced and ridiculous anyway. The Microsoft Phone, while an interesting idea, was useless in that it was only supported under Win9x (what use is an answering system running on a computer that crashes everytime a message arrives?), not only that but they stopped supporting it without so much as a word of explanation and refused to support the damn thing under NT or w2k where it might have actually worked (and would they even consider releasing spec so that it could be ported to a system that actually works like Linux or BSD? Of course not.)
Ok, I admit it, I bought one in a very weird moment of online impulse buying (so shoot me) and now I have a box full of plastic shards, which is what happens to a Microsoft phone after you smash the piece of shit to smithereens with a 5 lb sledgehammer -- that much was expected.) BTW, this was an exceptionally cathartic experience, in case you have similar needs.
I tried the same with a Win98se "upgrade" CD but it just wasn't the same.
Good for you, I wish I could say the same. But this is a good reason why the fucking Olympic games should be boycotted. The 'man' tells you what you can and cannot do. Well I say 'fuck you' to the 'man'. I won't be watching any of this drug enhanced crap. Actually, I don't even care about the drugs, it's the showy hypocrisy of the IOC towards the use of Performance Enhancing Drugs. If you're not going to properly police the use of drugs then make the goddamn things legal and just get on with the show (and the decades of Real-Life TeeVee with all those mutant athletes suffering from various side effects - gigantism anyone - would be a real boon to TLC and Fox.)
The same goes for the NFL, NHL, NBA, MLB, CIA, FBI, MI5, KGB, Staatssicherheitsdienst, etc.
Who the fuck mod'd this as Funny. Brainless twit posts moronic screed about how the 'mercans have saved everyone's ass in the past century (neglecting to mention that those same have been responsible for equal amounts of human suffering, cf., Iran-Contra, Vietnam, HUAC, Korea, CIA drug inner-city drug dealing...) and displays his complete lack of understanding of recent history. Perhaps it is funny, if being afraid is one's idea of funny.
I could understand if it were mod'd as 'Illiterate moron'.

As bugs would say, "what a maroon!"
And how was that?
Fuckin' suits.

Feh!
What about Canadian citizens located in the US? Or Yanks located in Canada? I suspect there are more of the former, but the question needs arsking.
No. But funny you should ask, because for $35 I expect a full Windoze license.
Sorry, fuck for brains, he said in the letter that the programmers worked on the project for five years. That's bullshit.
