Yet, regrettably, when trying to sign up as a seller on google wallet, only "US" and "UK" are listed for me for some reason. I live in Argentina, so GW is a no-go for me.
halt and reboot, in unix (and also in linux in the past), would inmediantely halt or reboot. No informing users, killing processes, etc, just HALT. Shutdown on the other hand, informed users, first sent sigint, and then sigkill, etc. It was the "friendly" choice, and gave processes a chance to exit gracefully and save anything they should.
Since so many users where using halt and shutdown -h as if they were the same, most linux distros have adapted the behaviour to what those users (who had not read the manpages) expected. Depending on what OS you use, the manual may describe this.
Almost any keyword is bound to show at least two naked women in the first couple of pages. We tried with the oddest of keywords at my last job, and 9 out of 10 times, this was true... so there's nothing new here.
In short: If a machine fails: it can crash an require intervention. (generally) If an organic fails: it slowly degrades itself, having chance to fix whatever might be wrong, or at least notify someone. (generally)
I disagree. People need to be taught to be respectfull and to behave, not caged or forced into not-behaving badly. You don't chain a 12 year old to avoid his going outside through the window when he shouldn't. You *teach* him when he can, and when he can't.
I heard an excelent argument as to why this shouldn't be used in banks/schools, etc. In case of emergency (think "the bus crashes and the user of this device is unconcious), calling an ambulance/police/etc become imposible. If the bus crashed, and someone dies because it's imposible to call an ambulance thanks to his ilegal usage of a device... I really wouldn't want to be in this guy's shoes.
I lived in a rather not-so-large city in the south of Argentina in 2005, when ADSL was just starting to become available to middle class (at least there), and 150ms was the norm (I remember this because a lot of friends would play CS online with people from the rest of the country).
IMHO, ".us" is the US TLD, while.com,.org, etc are the "International ones". For example, google.com redirects to google.com.TLD (google.com.ar in my case). The same goes to all major international websites.
Ubuntu is *not* for servers, keep that in mind. It's a matter of personal opinion if it's any good for desktop, but it's no use on servers. Go with something more like debian if you want a linux based OS.
Nope, I insinuate that he doesn't want to bother configuring these things, much like many other users don't want to, even though he *could* if he wanted to.
This would only prove that OpenSuse if impractical for shared computers, since all users need a root password for ordinary tasks, one of which is bound to screw up.
He has the knowledge to do the above, but he dedicates his time to developing the kernel, instead of configuring user-level stuff like printer installation UIs and stuff like that. He just relies on some distro, with it's general packaging of software, etc. This time, he just hit one with an anoying habbit of asking for a root password every five minutes. Lots of people can tweak it so it doesn't do that. But moving to a distro with saner defaults is just faster, and more efficient.

No, the concept doesn't exist in every country actually.

If no-one man-in-the-middles the recipient's connection, or something similar, and if no-one at google get their hands on this.
I just get the server names from /dev/urandom. They're equally easy to remember.
That's why I have a Nokia N900. A Nokia N9 might be of interest to you as well.
It's usefull because I don't have to buy windows (simply because I don't want to), and because I have far better integration.
It's not a virtual machine, it's a reimplementation of the windows API.
That aside, I play last-gen games (like the Mass Effect 3 Demo) with great performance. That's imposible inside any VM.
I use flashblock and just got a flashblock logo. When I clicked to allow flash, it gave an error ("could not load movie").

That's interesting. It does in almost all countries (unless you configure google no to do so.)
My point is that US should be using the ".us" TLD, and leave ".com" to international uses.
I don't get it. You're a machine, right?
Even worse if it's a flash one. Why not just GIF?

Why is this downvotes? This is quite true, regrettably.

What distro are you using? Lots of distros (and BSDs) still pack newer versions of firefox on officially unsupported platforms.
