First off, this is true of *nix as well. Remember that lest step of installing new software, 'make install'? That one usually has to be done as a super-user, as it installs into common areas.
True, however there are 2 points to mention concerning that: 1. in Unix/Linux you can use sudo or su to just temporarily gain root privileges while runsas in windows isn't as flexible but could probably provide the same functionality and 2. during your 'configure' step you can modify the installation location so that the applications don't get put into/usr but/home/ instead.
As of last year, my experience with Rational's Requisite Pro required at least Power User membership due to it needing to do something with the registry when a user started it up. I would have thought a big company like Rational wouldn't do that but maybe I'm dreaming.
Once the calculations are performed an animation can be produced thus saving every single person who wants to view the motions from having to calculate all the points of travel on their own. Assuming someone has made an animation then you could see it without having to crunch the numbers yourself. Or if someone has saved all the points as raw data and then you use that to create your own animation.
Luckily, these days linux is pretty nice, what with Ubuntu and all. You barely need to think any more when installing, and no annoying registration screens!
Thats good. Most users barely think during *normal* operation of a PC.
I'll take that over paying for Opera or using the free version that is stuffed with adware.
There are 2 problems with that statement: 1. Opera is NOT stuffed with adware and 2. it is not even stuffed with ads. What I mean by 1 is that there is a small banner in the upper right portion of the window that personally I barely even notice when I'm paying attention to the actual *webpages*. What I mean by 2 is that Opera contains ads but not adware. I gues you could say Opera itself is adware but it only contains ads. Adware means its a separate application and Opera doesn't install anything like that(ad+software).
Well, I'm playing with semantics here but Ubuntu is a distro and not something that actually runs on the system as a process and therefore doesn't use up any RAM. The applications the creators of the distro chose to have running by default are what is causing your memory usage to be higher than that of the applications running under Slackware. Try switching to KDE under Ubuntu (if that is possible, I don't use Ubuntu) and it would make a fairer comparison. You may as well say Linux itself is taking up the RAM since you aren't placing blame where it belongs.
The NET command certainly is well-known and used for about a thousand things, notable starting and stopping services.
That works as long as you know the name of the service, which for some stupid reason, is different than the registry name for the same service, which makes things more difficult.
ATI is the entity making the dependency on the kernel version, not the kernel developers making the dependency on the ATI driver version. If they are not making Linux drivers a high priority it is their own doing.
there's just too much authority and their foul language policy is just fucking absurd.
Well the only thing your foul language added to your post was the impression that you are an idiot with a low education level but other than that foul language adds nothing to a conversation so why should it hurt if they have a policy on it?
I haven't used Yahoo chat for over 5 years but if it's the same as it used to be the answer to your question about the quantity of non-user-created chat rooms is "quite a bit". There were various categories of chat rooms and then there were subcategories below that. One main category would be "romance" and then below that you would have "lesbian", "by location" (which by itself would have a room for just about every state), "teens", and various rooms for people in their 30s,40s,and 50s. Those sub categories are all within the Romance category. THere were also sports and other themed categories. Any one of those, if memory serves, could have user defined rooms in them. A conservative count of non-user-created rooms would be at least 200.
Yahoo maps do the same thing. The maps I created at work that rely on TeleAtlas data do the same thing. The disconnect is not in the Google webpage, or the webpages we have at work, but in how the rendering software on the backend creates the map and the algorithms involved in placing the labels.
The Holy Bible does not ever mention the United States as existing in the End Times. Most likely it's due to God giving up on us due to our stupidity in various aspects of life and then that could possibly lead to another country (China?) coming in and destroying the country.
If instead, you need to download 500 of 1500 segments, chances are there won't be a scarcity of segments even at 499.
Is there any chance though that some segments could become devalued and some segments become popular which could cause, for example, segments 200-250 to be extremely easy to find but segments 500-750 very difficult to find and for some reason or another I wouldn't have enough par segments to rebuild the "hard-to-find" segments? I'm just curious.
Unless I had to (and MS making me is not a valid reason for saying I have to if they are creating the problem to fit their solution), why would I want to download Par chunks instead of just downloading the actual data I need, especially since I have to get enough chunks equal to how much I'm missing? In order to calculate new chunks right now I have to have enough chunks out of the whole to equal the Par chunks and at least with using Quickpar, I can't start building new chunks until that happens.

what about CSPAN? And dont miss the sequel CSPAN2.
As long as you can flip the cat upside down and the microships stay in the bag then you at least have a chance.
Terraserver has been doing that (masking the White House) for a long time now (measured in years, probably since 2001).

MS needs a label on Windows retail boxes that says "for mental ages 25 and over" and "may contain parts that pose choking hazards to all ages".
4D rendering is measuring how fast the 3D rendering can be performed. (time and space my friend, time and space)
So is the amount of available memory in your system possibly the result of using Gnome instead of using Ubuntu itself?
If you know that much about the fast food industry you must have a PhD in CS.
No he means Bachelor of Arts.

Most Americans don't have a clue about the Internet. If they did they would relise the Internet is as secure and safe as you make it.
