There are published books for all major distributions, and generic Linux books as weel in case yours is not covered.
There is also plenty of material in the Internet.
All my Linux problems have been solved so far by research on the Internet (I have been using Linux for more than 10 years professionally).
I can't say the same for Windows, on ocassions you just hit a brick wall and that is the end of that.
In regards to hardware one just have to stick to supportd one. That is the way it is with an OS that is not yet as popular as it will be. But this has always been the case. I have hardware that did not work anymore once a machine was installed with a most recent version of WIndows. ANd very often there is no resource against this because the hardware company has gone bust or can't be bothered to support a device that is slightly old but fully functioning....
For bunnies sakes, read, inform yourself, don't be fooled so easily, don't chew propagand even if it appeals to your instincts and feelings.
Darwin was desperate because he, beng a religious man, could see clearly the implication of what his good science was showing him.
Evolution was not invented out of thin air by atheist conspirators.
The theory has developped via multiple observations that have been supporting each other, in many different fileds (antropology, paleontology, ecology, geology, nuclear physics, genetics). There is no cabal to undermine religion. Religion is undermined because it has no logical foundations. It may hurt, but it is the way it is adn no amount of conspiracy theories will change this.
Excel is software. Java (the suit of compiler, class library, virtual machine) is software. Google's search rank is software.
The concepts are spreadheets, languages running in virutal machines or ranking of relevant information.
To say "x is an idea implemented through software" in order to deny a program is not software is so asinine that I will not try to explain such mental gymnastics any further.
The discussion is about websites that changed the world. Nobody is judging Easyjet in the context of affordable traveling, but in the context of important websites...
You still can't take liquids with you but can take into the plane beverages bought in the airport past security (I leve how wise this is to the experts. No, better no: if you think liquids are an issue, this policy is nonsense).
Taiwan has always been part of China, it is not considered an independent country by anybody but 3 or 4 countries (Costa Rica I believe is the one of them with most influence) and it was kicked out of the UN when the PRC asserted its position as the recognized Chinese goverment.
China has no jurisdiction over Taiwan because the island managed to get the US behind them after the civil war, otherwise they would have rejoined the mainland (as they will eventually) by now.
.... that Germany is the biggest exporter in Europe, the 3rd (or 4th, maybe China overtook them last year) economy of the world and that those unemployed have decent unemployment benefits.
I mean, you have to paint the full picture, most economists talk about Germany like if it was a failed country for bunnies sakes.
But I'll bite, such a little unusual troll has to be cherised!
If we did not have termperament, then western music would be in pretty much the same stage that oriental classical music is (Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese, Balinese or Indian), or come to think about it, Irish fiddle.
We would have millions of beautiful melodies but no harmonic development. Anything more complicated than Mozart from an harmonic point of view would be impossible, simply because tunning beyond one neighbour tonality would be pretty much impossible.
Debussy, Mussorgsky, Wagner, Chopin, you name it, such music would have not existed.
We sacrified perfect tonality in the sake of convenience, and this allowed the development of musci way beyond what would have been possible.
Classically trained musicians can read pretty much anything, even notation invented by the composers (as long as this is explained of course), which was not uncommon in the second half of the XXth century. If you mean sight reading, then we are talking about a completely different thing.
They may not play it as well and with as many nuisances as somebody completely embeeded in a certain musical genre, but if it is written, it can be played.
Good musicians can infer from what is written a load of details that are not written in order to give a credible performance.
In big international airports (which in Europe, given the many countries there are in a relatively small area) it can take as much as that:
Landing on time, clock starts ticking: - Taxing, deploying bugs: 15 minutes. - Walk to baggage reclaim: 10 minutes. - Queue in immigration: 10 minutes. Are you a furreinger? 20 minutes. - Wait for your baggage: 15 minutes.
Total: 50 minutes to one hour.
And this is pretty conservative, what if you have to take a bus to the terminal or you are searched in the way out...
How are you going to identify Muslims wise guy? The beards? The turbants? Some of you are really good at that. Shame you may confuse Sikhs for that reason, but who cares, their bad for wearing them.

Where he (because it is always he, isn't it?) decides to intervine only in instances where science has not explained his divine intervention.
Big Doh! to you for this rubbish "philosophy".

Oh the bible. A book.
Written by sheep herders 2000 or more years ago.
And that is true exactly why?
You are mixing terms and concepts to suit your agenda.
Faith is blind, unquestionable and unquestioning.
Trust isn't none of these and needs to be earned.
The current system by which I board a plane and can reasonable expect to make it to my destination is based in trust.
Pilots, civic aviation authorities, airlines have earned that trust for many years with hard work and applied science.
Now it is clear it is not a witch hunt.
And I thought you were going to probe how this handling of dates, shares and accounting was not immoral and/or iillegal.

They had only offices in the airports where they work.
They build up their bussiness with the Internet at the heart of their bussiness strategy.

It crashes often and the user interface is a Human Interface Designer's worst nightmare.
WHich makes Google and toehrs, useless.
Thanks fo your solution buddy, keep it to yourslef though.
You risk your money. You o bankrupt if you fail, take a job and all is dandy.
A low paid person risks his livelyhood and dignity with his job.

Or maybe even more.

The sacrifice was worth it IMHO.

it is a trait of disorganized people.
Tony Blair is sending the plains to bomb London as we speak.

Moron.
Not even dictatorships like Vietnam or Zimbabwe.
