Unless you're really willing to get your hands dirty up front, and if you really are a n00b with Linux I wouldn't recomment Slackware as your first distro....
Yeah, Fedora Core 2 for the dual-booter n00bs, eh? Joke's on them.
I'm not sure about the whole thing. I agree with it in principle, but it seems a bit underhanded to me to attempt to manipulate the political system like this.
No more underhanded than what happened in Texas. Owned by Spain, slowly populated by US folks, agitating for independence, declaring and winning independence.
Not sure whether it has been posted here before but here's an interesting point of view on ESR : It's about things he claims and things he obviously has not done : "The Emperor Has No Clothes"
It seems that self-grandiosity and self-promotion (key aspects of narcissism) are alive and well.
Your kid only weighs X pounds? Sorry to hear that. My 10 month old baby boy is weighing in right about XXX pounds right now. And he's starting to walk!
Very witty. I wasn't at all clear, the "X" was how much my wife weighed, after I multiplied her Kg by 2.2. I had figured out the lb-kg conversion as a result of going to Europe. I'm tall, I figured some people might want to know how tall, and I figured that out (2 metres) and how heavy (125 kg). For those of you in America who haven't figured that out, it means: don't mess with me.
A bit offtopic... I know a lot of folks here will go on about "what is wrong with the US that they won't go metric?" and it comes down to "everything is English, it'll cost too much to convert." Especially heavy manufacturing machinery. Anyway, my Honda is metric, and I have a set of metric tools to deal with that.
We just took our 2-year old son to the doctor, and they needed to weigh him, but he hates going, so my wife stood on the scales with him, then handed him off, and weighed, and they took the difference. The scale measured in Kg and I was able to say, "whoa! that's X pounds!"
Set up a firewall box (even something as simple as a linksys). Install like normal, but you're going through the firewall, so there's no direct exposure to the world. Update, patch, reboot ad nauseum without fear.
RAID 5 requires time to rebuild. So you're down if a disk dies.
RAID 1 is just mirroring. Is there any time needed for a rebuild? Or is it still available while you scramble to replace a hot-swappable disk? Obviously the new disk would need to by sync'ed up, is that done in the background?
I took a chance and signed up to be on the FCC's Do-Not-Call list. All the telemarketer calls just dried up. So the telemarketers are toeing the line. For now.

You could have said it in a more straightforward way: "I'm a lazy careless IE-lovin' doofuss" works.
Try a Dr. Demento mix. Fish Heads, Napoleon XIV, etc.

No, it's not. You don't love Big Brother yet. Do you?

We're not really, don't you know? We are not numbers or math variables.
They're full of artists, waiting on tables. No, wait, those are actors.
You can go "clicka clicka clicka" or "clicky clicky clicky" or just plain "click click click" if you're old school.
If they can't make a stand on vi or emacs, what good are they? Where's the passion?

Are you serious? 2 + 2 = 4. Bathroom = Sitting. Sitting = Laptop Use.
Exactly. Talent and Virtue are not in any way connected. The worst things of history have been perpetrated by talented people.
Until you can do email from within it.

Indeed, and don't forget the firewall failover capability. It's stuff like that makes the security folks swoon.
