I also call bullshit. If you are having trouble using a standard distro of Linux (and not some strange half-baked kernel you compiled yourself) then you honestly do not deserve a PHD in CS. I was able to handle Linux before I got my Bachlors, hell before I even got out of highschool. I would think someone who is supposed to be AN EXPERT in the field should be able to deal with it.
Yes I realize this post is rude, but I stand by what I said. If you can't figure out how linux works and you really do have a phd in comp sci then you are an insult to the field.
you're going to need to use the CLI, whether you're running a Linux distro, Mac OS, or even Windows.
I would extend this to say that a lot of programs in Windows, and a lot of little fixes that people have to do, have already been made into little downloadable programs that the user can just double click on. These programs make the necessary changes to the registry and run the various CLI programs. Linux not being as popular as Windows, this multitude of one-click fix patches isn't available.
I think it's true that the main reason a lot of geeks like Linux CLI better is because for anything that is seriously annoying there is always sudo kill -9 and sudo rm -rf
The registry was, i imagine, originally not intended for normal users to muck around with (and really they shouldn't have to anyway, but that's another matter). It didn't have to make sense because it was meant as an internal windows-only tool so that developers not intimately acquainted with the core system code wouldn't have to dive into it or bug a system developer to make changes. Now, of course, its too deeply embedded to change anything.
Once I deleted the entire registry (give me a break, I didn't know that much about windows at the time and wanted to see what it would do). After the imminent system crash, it wouldn't even boot up far enough to get to any place I could use System Restore.
If you're left handed why don't you just use the arrow keys.... (yes I am and I do). Even most laptops have them (though some of them are in very strange configurations)
I think it likely that once we get to PS2, the console makers realized that emulators were happening for older consoles and didn't want that happening for their newer machines (less profit for them). So they made the instruction set much harder to emulate.
It sounds to me like parent doesn't do support so much as engineering. I am an engineer for an ISP, working in the engineering department. I tend to do the same thing sometimes, but only because I'm not a support tech. When I get support tickets then they are supposed to be things that our support department can't handle (which isn't much-they tend to be pretty good at lower level stuff). I've sent back tickets simply because it's something that they should be able to handle.
On the other hand though, I can't just send something back because it's boring. If it's something that support isn't equipped to handle I have to deal with it, no matter how un-exciting and dull it is.
Of course not. The majority of the public either won't care about the standard itself or will not have a clue what do to with it even if they got to look. Those who both care and can understand it are in the minority, and politicians never cater to a minority.
In texas it's illegal to row a wagon across a prairie. There are whole websites set up to ridiculous laws like that (in France it's illegal to name your pig Napoleon). Most people laugh at them but when someone really wants to throw the book at you and put you away for life, if they have a good understanding of the legal system it's much easier to do than it should be.
I don't know. I'm assuming you were trying to passive-aggressively show me how wrong I am but I'm a bit confused as to how you think what you said has to do with what I said? Maybe you meant to reply to the parent of my post?
It's a beautiful concept, but police, fbi, cia, ect are citizens too. They go home from their day jobs and I doubt they want people watching them while they're at home.
Plus, seeing how inadequate our government is with technology, I highly doubt they have the ability to pull something like that off. There would also have to be exceptions, like officers working undercover.
Localized low level EMP? I don't know much about such things but wouldn't that completely knock out the device? Though that might damage your car as well...
This is true-congress never authorized a declaration of war on either Iraq or Afghanistan. What we have in those two countries is a very long "military operation" (though how they manage to justify that being different from a war boggles the mind).
If you try to jam the frequency in question they will find you. If they have to they'll just home in on your radio signal, but if you're being a good operator and giving out your call signal (I'll assume if you're trying to jam something, which is already illegal, you won't be so stupid as to do that, but still) then they know exactly who you are.

How does American censor the internet for the world? Maybe this is obvious to everyone else, but I don't see it.
No one knows. Those who posted about forbidden topics just vanished, along with everyone who read what they wrote.
afaik most stores here in the US also have signs for the cameras. They are rather hard to see though, and I don't think they are required by law.

No wonder everyone who comes in my office keeps giving me funny looks...

Bear in mind this is the Netherlands, not the USA. The terms under which contracts work may not be the same.

Well they have a point... the internet ISN'T a big truck.
it's not a source of revenue, but it can be a source of expense, especially if traffic to and from the site is using a lot of comcast's bandwidth.
You assume that Comcast cares about having long call queues. Have you ever tried to call them? 20 min+ wait times every time I have.
Some cell phone manufacturers (Apple, probably others too) would like to say that it's not in fact your device at all.
I imagine there will be, especially for Android. Of course anyone actually downloading and using it will be considered unpatriotic....
Of course not. The majority of the public either won't care about the standard itself or will not have a clue what do to with it even if they got to look. Those who both care and can understand it are in the minority, and politicians never cater to a minority.
