Have the history clear it's self ever 2 min, it's what I do on my Box, sure it's annoying to have to log in constantly but on the other hand it's secure.
Your right that most people aren't xyz dev's and can't go out and write a massive program to preform xyz. However how many people can use Excel to do math via Formula's or Use iptables to block traffic on a network. It's all in the same scope, with a little reading, and it is very short, an average slashdot user could make there own Bios. I say slashdot user because I would tend to think we have a little bit of an easier time on the computer then say my grandma.
Then you take http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenBIOS and write your own. I'm serious, people like to complain that features aren't supported when the only thing stopping them is there own faith. Sure you can do ALOT of damage but just be careful and test it in a VM first. I've written several bios firmwares for my current MOBO and they all out preform the stock.
What a surprise the US wants to make themselves sound better then they are. You can't just change history because of how bad your country has screwed it's self. Who else had 3 major attacks in one day 9/11 anyone. The US just likes to piss off everyone and leave, once they left they take great offense if anyone claims they didn't do Gods work. Here's another fact, the US deserved 9/11 they deserved the economic claps and they deserve to have a war taken against them. The US is a horrible country founded on being cheats and corrupt views.
Limewire had a good run, I'll openly admit I've used it a ton but it's actually not that good a p2p client. When I can I like to use mule and it 100% of the time returns better results. I think it might be time for the mule to rise!!
This is a two headed coin, either you like Ubuntu and it's your system or you hate it. I remember back in the days of dapper Ubuntu was awesome, fast, stable, clean, well built. Now I can't say the same thing. I could sit here all day giving examples on optimizations past O2 but there's no point.
Both Gentoo and Ubuntu are compiled with the same cflags by default ( -O2 ) so it isn't running faster.
Gentoo is compiled with the flags you give it when you compile it. Also I've tried the new Ubuntu LTS and it's not that fast, It's boot time is horrible.
Gentoo uses USE flags which actually let your packages only compile what they need and leave out the extra. So in fact Gentoo is faster because the packages get built better then any other system.
Ubuntu might be the most popular Linux distro out there but it's the most heavily weighted and sluggish of them all. Once again we see Ubuntu getting a change that has no use other then to make it slower and more bloated. What Ubuntu needs is a full strip down and rebuild like a Gentoo install. Every-time I've installed Ubuntu for work or school I see an immediate loss of performance in the range of 40% compared to my Gentoo install. Now don't pull the Binary vs Source argument out because a binary Arch install is just as fast as Gentoo. I think what we really need to see is Ubuntu getting redesigned and this time the focus should be on performance and not Graphics / File Systems / Chat Programs etc..... Besides if I wanted slow and horrible I'd install Windows.
Lisp and Algol are decent but they have no where near the reach C has and had in programming. I'm not saying they also aren't good languages to try and teach students but if your going to teach Lisp and Algol why not teach Cobol and B? The point is for anyone being taught programming now a days, throw away that crap called Object Oriented and give them "The C Book" by K and R. Once they know C then you can start teaching them OO.
I've received so much hassle from profs, the programming course has profs that even talk down to open source and Linux. (of course the funny thing is the profs computer actually blue screened when he tried to defend microsoft and closed source code).
A few years ago, 2 I think, I was working on some code for a prof to help a robot play soccer. At the time it was just assigned to us and he screwed off and didn't really talk to use for a month. He gave my partner and myself a lib to do Image Capture that was HIGHLY proprietary and actually sucked unbelievably bad. My partner and I said screw it and picked up a GPL licensed image capture lib and started to program, when I was done I released all the code I had done to a public code forum to share it. When my prof found out he went insane, he was so pissed it was kind of funny. He kept telling us that open source is a really bad idea and we should have known better then to use GPL code. I told him to F*** off and we passed. The year after I was working for another prof doing some more code but she wasn't in my field. Again I grabbed some GPL code spun up the solution, released it and gave it to her. She was so afraid people would now hack into her software because it was public code she refused to use it and told me I should have known better. Again I told her to F*** off and I passed. The main point is that Prof's seem to hate Open Source, not all of them but enough of them. They just can't admit it's a better way of thinking, kind of like the church and science, science the better way and the church well it did kill people for saying the earth wasn't the centre of the universe (very intelligent).
Office apps, we have open office. Simply put the best office suite in current list of office products. We also have Evolution which takes Outlook under the table and more graphing programs then you can shake a stick at.
Better Enterprise level solutions and there all free, lets see windows say that. (without crashing)
Or C++ or Java etc.... OO programming languages are the biggest problem facing computer science. C is still the best language for any actual task to be preformed and if you need a better extension to C you drop down to ASM and interface them.
I think he has a right to a life without his birth mother, who hasn't been his parent/guardian since he was 11 years old.
How ever this shows a BIG problem with social networking sites. Once you have someone's password or know how to access there account you can do what ever you want to slander them. It's the same with pictures, you can view a tag and find the name of the guy who you want to beat etc....
I'm not saying I don't feel bad for this kid because I do, but I think at some point we need to start blaming facebook and social networking sites in general.
I was just providing a workable solution for this kid to deal with his screwed up mom. My personal views about facebook are my own to keep and there never going to change.
Relating facebook and computers is not an even playing field, computers are the result of the need for fast and more effective means to complete work, facebook is the result of kid getting lucky that people to lazy to use a phone and will now just post on a wall.
If facebook provided some sort of information exchange such as Slashdot, root prompt or other forums then it would be different. As it stands the only thing I can gain from facebook is that a girl named jenny is dating a guy named bill and I don't know either of them.
Facebook is a really lame site. If he cares so much about her posts then just close the facebook account. You want to update your friends call them, talk to them. Facebook is the reason people are becoming anti social. For thousands of years people got along with out facebook and I bet we can get along again by just doing face to face or call to call social networking.
On the other hand, she shouldn't post on his wall but the simple solution is post on her wall, if she did steal his password he can change his password. So I don't see why he's making such a massive problem out of this. If he thought about a solution he could have this cleared up in 1 second.
I know what your talking about, the point is we shouldn't start changing the size representation. All my Linux tools use the proper numbers aka Mb 1024 and not 1000
Slashdot Mirror
Oh wait I run Linux, this problem never bothered me.
Have the history clear it's self ever 2 min, it's what I do on my Box, sure it's annoying to have to log in constantly but on the other hand it's secure.
but having the option disabled all the time is the same as not having it at all.

No country has non corrupt views but even Saddam Hussein has less corruption then Bush. Which would be 2nd from last. The US being last.

Just turn the monitors off, turn the iPad off and make it dark!!!!!

C if the starting of all modern programming languages, beyond that it's the language you learn to help you learn others such as C++, VB etc...
Python is a decent language but you may as well teach the C Python API, that way the students get to learn C and python and OO concepts.
lol Apple is just crippled, So is Microsoft for that matter, Windows 7 anyone? The Slogan - "No driver should work, no install go smooth"

Wow what a great useless setting, can't wait to get drunk and watch text based video.
I know what your talking about, the point is we shouldn't start changing the size representation. All my Linux tools use the proper numbers aka Mb 1024 and not 1000
If your going to make a Megabyte 1000 Kilobytes then lets make a Byte 10 bits. Stop screwing with sizes that makes sense.
