Install a bare minimum shell environment and have the students learn why Linux has the industry's best IPC mechanisms and why Linux has the best bar none performance. Instead of trying to each them Linux step by step have them see why it's a much more powerful environment then Windows. In truth most Linux classes are taught horribly and actually leave the students asking more questions and leave hating the system.
If I were teaching it I would let the students explore and give them only one big project which needs to reply on all the different aspects of the Linux environment which make it special. If they are able to finish it then they can draw there own conclusions about what they think. If not then well then deal with that when it comes. I think for the first time I've ever seen, Linux should be taught with a simple, do it yourself and figure it out method, instead of the here's the shell, here's the message Q approach.
After all aren't don't most Linux users have to figure this stuff out for there self when they start.
Well as a gnome fan I don't see the need for gnome to change that much, it's sleek and works perfectly. It comes with a great toolkit and out preforms kde at ever bench mark. So falling behind doesn't mean alot, it's a more high quality DE.
That title doesn't imply that in anyway. What it should imply if you can read english is that the social network level right now is fine, anymore is pointless. More being pointless not now being pointless hence all social networking IS NOT pointless.
There is WAY to much social online networking happening. Of all the amount of social network that happens, I'll say that less then 10% is actually for networking and 90% is about being pointlessly social. Being social for the sake of being social is useless, great I have 10000000 facebook friend Woot!!!
Great I got 10 emails that aren't useful. I got 10 new text messages that aren't useful. All of these advancement that are meant to tie us closer to social networking are actually making us more Dependant on knowing whats uselessly going on. If we gave 1/2 the amount of effort into improving business that we put into keeping in contact with people we'd have trillion dollar company's that keep increasing in value.
Email works, texts work, SMS and MMS are fine. How many decades have we not had an issue with keeping in contact with who matters. All facebook is trying to do is actually devert the attention we should be giving to our jobs to a site which doesn't assist in completing and useful work. if you want proper social networking that helps you use linkedin if you want to be wasting time and showing off how many friends you have you use facebook.
Another horrible idea from facebook thats going to make that ahole another billion dollars. He has a horrible site that doesn't help anyone do anything but yet is a billionaire. Then again so is Bill Gates and he makes a product which is also horrible. I guess the moral of the story is make crap and make a billion. For once can we stop hearing about what useless feature facebook is adding and maybe focus on what useful feature our computers are going to have or maybe what useful features were getting to make business and engineering more streamed line.
It's amazing when I tell people that you can't just put a computer in any environment and it will work, In a car we have one of the hardest computer operating environments for a computer system, so much RF and motor noise and conditions which cause computers to fail. The Automotive controls have to work in environments so far beyond a normal computer operating environment it's amazing. So 128 Mhz and 3 MB flash, is actually a really good system.
Your wrong, having open wifi means your inviting people to get your data, If the date was important you would have secured it and the first step is encrypting your wireless access point.
If you leave your door unlocked and open and you leave your credit information sitting out you shouldn't be allowed to sue the person who takes a look.
To put it in another way, if are naked in front of a big glass window and someone looks in you shouldn't be allowed to sue them of peaking.
People always try to agrue this and it doesn't make sense. If the information had any value to you, you'd lock it up or encrypt it. Other wise your really letting anyone read it. Because your a stupid computer uses doesn't mean others should have to pay.
If the wifi is open then google can't be in trouble for using the wifi. Whats stopping me from going on my neighbors wifi and using it if it's open. Open Wifi is an invitation to use. Now if google cracked the wifi then ya I can see the FCC being pissed, but they only used open wifi.
It is your information, just because you put a disclaimer in a EULA doesn't mean shit, there easy to fight and win. Just because something states what they own I can still over rule them.
This is a great idea, have your information deleted when you ask. There is 0 percent chance of ever seeing this in the US or Canada but it's a great concept. Why should someone have your data with out you knowing and better yet why should they keep it if you ask it to be destroyed.

I played 1 violent game and now I just kill ever chance I get, it's totally the game makers fault, i have no freewill at all.
Okay so he can say they don't steal clicks but it would be better to show the actual code behind the search engine and prove it.

What is set person going to do with this computer.
haha good answer
Maybe if we didn't teach the kids to build weapons out of the pencils / pens we wouldn't have an issue.
Linux is the best solution for most systems, Desktop, Server and Cluster

I never insisted that every social interaction had to be productive, what I said was most of what we do thats social isn't productive.

If java gets screwed who care, back to C!
which is why you secure the connection
Exactly, and if you leave your wifi open it's the same as not shredding the documents.

How about just changing the password when you have a reason to.
When ever I text of use facebook I just want to have sex. (Of course not really)
Well when you consider most facebook lovers are women and most over texter's are women, it would make sense that women just want sex!
Maybe she can join my group.
Got to love when people don't understand the rating systems. A troll isn't someone tell the truth, it's someone saying shit for the sake or shit.
Lets change what works and make it harder and more awkward to use.
Guess I'll keep on Loving Gentoo.
