So what is gonna reset the Program Counter back to refer to the boot ROM, when everything is nonvolatile, including the PC? The physical reset button they'll re-introduce? Keep dreaming.
Why do I keep reading Slashdot comments for technical topics?
That's probably because you're an idiot.
You don't get to execute that memset when the machine is in a bad state. If you could, you arguably had it under control.
Eh, that's the default etc directory for programs which use the GNU Build System (autoconf and friends), i.e. nearly all. It's your package management which chooses the/-prefix instead of the default/usr/local
no, you're simply not understanding the conventions which apply here.
/etc/foo is the global/system configuration of <foo> /usr/local/etc/foo is the same, but <foo> was not installed via the package management (but rather by the user extracting a tarball and running make install after building it) ~/.foo is user-specific configuration of <foo>, configuration settings specified here will usually take precedence over the global configuration
Hm. The other day I read an article about how Germany is reluctant to deploy more of ze "Fluesterasphalt" (basically an anti-noise road surface), because it only lasts about a decade, whereas conventional roads typically need resurfacing after about two decades
I don't care much about ubuntu, it just annoys me when people say GNU/Linux would be unix. Hint, it's not, it's insulting unix (and additionally it's in the damn name;))
Not sure if you're trying to be funny, but no. The only similarity to SIGKILL is that SIGSTOP isn't interceptible, either (then again, ^Z does not send a SIGSTOP in the first place)
This is why centralized data storage and automated installation are invaluable for managing larger sets of desktop/office computers.
If at my workplace a computer breaks, gets stolen, catches fire, whatever, I fetch a new one from the basement, tell the PXE server to load the installation image. 15 minutes later, the user can resume their work.
Then again, it's probably much more complicated to achieve this with Windows.

But I use PS/2, you insensitive clod.
(Fair enough.)
And what makes the software interrupt "fire"?

What makes you believe you couldn't run a wireless network inside a faraday cage?

"are now also banned from 'pre-ticking' optional extras"
Now do the same for free software ?
That practice is virtually nonexistant in free software
Might that town by any chance be Bonn, Germany? Sounds familiar. OTOH I suppose quite a couple of places do that

Hope that helps
Consider the following.
I'm at a loss to understand how that giant huge mess called "Registry" could be labeled "nice" by anyone...
Would not deceive me; babies don't walk.
The nice thing about one time pads is that for any ciphertext there's a OTP which produces any (alibi-)cleartext you desire.
ICMPv6 != ICMPv4

I hope you get modded down for your signature, which is as smug as it is wrong, little GNUtard.

Is the general problem of the GNU- and Linux world.
When your centralised data storage goes on the blink
That's what you have off-site backups for.
or your centralised imaging system decides to reimage every machine the whole company goes down.
For about 20 minutes, that was my point

SATA6bps is the bottleneck
in fact 6bps seem kind of slow-ish
So much this.
