Actually one could just run a scripted install. Many commercial packages work this way, like LokiGames. The old Star Office installer did this too. It can be and has been done.
If something is FOSS then it one can just let the Package maintainers for a particular Distro handle it though.
As has been pointed out, you just double counted libs. On my home system which besides being a desktop is also a dev mysql server and apache server is using about 240mb of RAM on a regular basis. Yet at work on a win2k system with a terminal emu, outlook, mozilla, and a mustomer management system open, 315MB. hrmm...
Pretty much hardware just works in Linux anymore. A few pieces of esoteric hardware and winmodems might need special drivers compiled. It might be a tossup if a given cheap scanner works, but it usually is a yes or no proposition if a it works. my scanner needs a binary firmware file from the Win or Mac drivers, but most if they are supported, then they get detected automatically.
It is selfish to expect a decent paying job? It is irresponsible to complain that American CEO's are transfering our jobs to to some foreign country? And to top it off, the jobs are going to morons that apparently couldn't find thier own heads.
Then you expect us to compete with wages that are below the poverty level? $25000 barely makes ends meet, yet you want to be competitive with $10000?
You first take care of your own, then you worry about others. $50000-$100000 is not overpaid.
5 years ago when the disclaimers few, it had a small effect of discouraging forwarding of emails. Now that the disclaimers are ubiquitous, they are pretty much ignored.
I find it actually kind pathetic to see these disclaimers. Some of my coworkers have started to add the disclaimers even though it is not company policy yet to have them for accounts that are not meant to send out email outside the building. I mean, really, if your communications contain sensitive info, then encrypt it and be done with it.
Actually, yes you can get arrested for the contents of an email. It is both easier and harder to get arrested for an email. It is easier because like a letter, there is a "written" record. It is harder because, it is easy to castreasonable doubt on whther person a actually wrote a given piece of email. If someone receives a death threat, a lot of logs will need to be shown to be able to prove that a given person wrote that.
Since they're acting to protect the interests of their shareholders, you can't really blame them for doing everything they can to prevent this.
Actually, that is where most people get it wrong. Thier corporate charter is granted to promote the public good. If the Justice Dept would enforce these charter and revoke them when necessary, rather than letting themselves be bribed by fat cat lobbyists, then we wouldn't have all this craziness.
It depends on if there is a per floor electrical closet or per building, and size of building. Heck even a large floor and poor location of the closet can stretch the length limit of cat5.
It might be that fiber was a cheaper/easier solution than running a repeater in the walls/ceilings.
Well the first disk of Mandrake and most other distros is all that is required for a basic system. Then populate your urpmi sources from half a dozen different lists, and you are golden.
Turning on WEP and changing the SSID will stop casual intruders. It will also be a good legal defense if some one does break through.
Mac filtering and Disabling SSID broadcast is a minor nuisance at best for a more sophisticated attacker. I feel there are many normal routines where not doing those offers a better ROI on convenience. It is very easy to just give a wep key to a friend if they come over, rather than go through the rigamorole to allow thier wifi card permission to connect.
While that may be the case for that guy, on a lot of notebooks with the WIFI builtin, there is no util other than Windows.
But several things can be done to improve performance. Turn off Power management on the card, set it to only connect to APs, and setting up WEP usually makes for a more stable connection. Oh, and try to only use channels 1, 6, and 11, as they have the least amount of signal overlap. That won't help any if you have two schmucks sitting on 4 and 8 though.
Actually, ATI tried to commit a number of patches to XFree86 to improve support for thier video cards, and guess what? The XFree86 Core team rejected them. This was one of the first things that started the fork of X.
As for ATI- well how would you feel if you try to offer drivers and the developers tossed them back in your face?
Crooks are like young children. Sometimes the only thing they understand is force. When a young child reaches to touch a hot stove or run out into a busy street, one must use force to stop them. At a minimum they need to be physically stopped, and a spanking might be called for to prevent them from doing it again.
Then consider the history, the Dutch are a bunch of merchants and farmers. Now don't get upset, I myself am proud to be Dutch, and most of my family are midwestern farmers.
Now the Spanish have a much more varied profession and a lot more land mass. I would maintain that the Netherlands is too small to be statistically valid. Then there is a a matter of does culture give rise to laws or does laws give rise to culture.
Slashdot Mirror
Anymore you select the package and let the package manager download it and the dependncies. For instance with Mandrake and urpmi:
urpmi foo
To satisfy dependancies package bar and bar2 must be installed Ok to proceed Y/n?
It then proceeds to download, and install or upgrade as needed.

URPMI, Apt-RPM, Apt-get, Portage, whatever that thing that slackware has now...
Anyways my point is that dependancy checking is handled automatically now.

What about an AI spontaneously derived? Say like Skynet?

Because the University probably gets a small kickback to recommend Dell or Apple.

Most routers if you reset go back to a default stat with no wep or password.

Well range is limited and to be able to grab any useful amount of data takes a while. Physical ground patrols would be useful.
Most of the so called generated keys are just alphanumeric translated to hexadecimal.

Can be done with a little bash scripting. Without resorting to scripting, it is going to be a long process regardless.
Then how do you catch any crooks?
"Halt"
"Screw you, copper"
"Halt, or I will blow my whistle"
Crook gets away admist much whistle blowing.
Crooks are like young children. Sometimes the only thing they understand is force. When a young child reaches to touch a hot stove or run out into a busy street, one must use force to stop them.

If you can not provide itemized billing on request then you are a sleaze. If it went to court, you would be providing it.
Why not just carry a cane?
We are talking about a country the size of Conn.

It is called warning shots. There is a whole set of procedures that have to be followed, but yes police can and do fire at fleeing suspects.
