Flamebait me if you will, but: Where are the cries? Where are the cries of fascism!?
Here is real fascism, all you Bush haters, and you've all but gone silent. You need to stand up for what you believe where it really matters instead of merely in your self-righteous murmurings of posts past.
Having had six years in various classrooms, meaning: having students from various social-economic and ethnic differences, the differences I noticed the most between students who excelled were those whose parents were very interested in how their child did in their classes.
The children who excelled in my classes had parents who were actively, not passively, involved in their child's life (how they behaved, did they do their homework) at school.
I also had kids who did well or excelled simply because they seemed self motivated. But, they were less in numbers than those kid's whose parents would show up for parent-teacher nights.
As a generalization: it's ultimately the parent's fault or credit as to how their child does in school.
I really, really doubt... nah, I flat out believe that MS isn't so much concerned about being 'hurt' moneywise by pirates as they are about getting every last cent they can get their hands on.
Fine, they wish to make/earn money. However, MS consistantly puts $$$ before other things such as standards compliance and honesty.
It's the 'southerners' of Greece that started Democracy.... or do you conveniently forget such historical truths.
...necessity of work is less ingrained in southern populations, and this is reflected by the presence of stupid religions that do not push hard towards hard work (scatholicism, orthododoxy or islam)...
Again, you mention two religions (at least I think you do: scatholicism = Catholicism?) that directly had their roots in the in parts more southern than Greece; namely Israel. From there they moved north and split and morphed into those things who's history you claim to understand today. So, I ask: what about those northern areas before Martin Luther? (I'll answer) They were Catholic (for better or worse). And what about Russian Orthodoxy? Talk about living in the cold without the values you claim they should have.
little chickenshit dictators can pop-up everywhere
Just like it can popup within your too. If you don't understand that, then you don't understand the state of man nor the necessity of real religion.
I'm at the point of trying the pluggins from Xoblite's site. The base is ok, but I would like to see some other things... like multiple desktops AND, more importantly to me right now, replacing the standard window-title-bar and being able to scroll it with a pluggin from Xoblite.
SharpE is very, very nice and worth a gander or two.
I'd suggest that whatever sexual activity takes place between consenting adults (or solo, given that this is Slashdot) is their own business.
Exactly, but you seem to be supporting pornography which is not being kept private; the 'consenting adults' are making it other people's business also.
I'm actually releaved when I know that the software I'm installing is GPL (for certain). So, seeing that pop up is merely confirmation to me that I can go ahead and freely use the software and to a much lesser extent, modify it, etc.
As far as licensing goes, any thing you produce should be immediately copyrighted or smacked with a license, GPL, BSD, or otherwise, so that you may retain whatever power you wanted over it, lest someone else stumble upon it.
So, I think I should not expect to see a EULA except in the most liberal of BSD licensed software.
Is that after having also tried VirtuaWin? I just installed it yesterday at the end of my shift and don't have any millage on it. I had installed Virt-Dimension just before that but found it to be very clumsy.
One thing I do not like about MS's offering is the difficulty of isolating a window to a desktop and the lack of a sticky feature. Which basically equals individual window-to-desktop management.
The only PITA about installing it that I found was practically not finding the installer!
But, I just stopped using it this week because I enabled the X-Mouse feature of 'focus-follows mouse' (via TweakUI) and that didn't didn't play well with the Lite-Step's (or the default theme somehow?) menus.
But the great news is that this post showed up the next day after I installed MS's powertoy desktop imitater.
Sounds like a disconnect between the curriculum (text and exercises) and those who prepared the exams. This disconnect usually first shows up between the text and the exercises, especially in Spanish (foreign language) curriculums.
The professor with no sense of other's struggles is why I mentioned classmates, tutors, and doing one's best to learn the material until one is able to express it in their own words.
Oh, that's just great: your answer to this difficult question is going to stop with that this person has to be fortunate or that they have to be wired a certain way before they'll get it?
There's a better for for this person:
As a former teacher of Spanish I've had to teach other subjects other than Spanish, particularly English. While this presented distractions for me (I was never good at English) it also had one distinct advantage: it dramatically improved my understanding of English grammar. Namely those parts that I just didn't get when I was in middle and high school (though high school was mostly literature-based classes). However, I am still a weak speller at the ripe age of 37.
Some steps this person person can take are:
Go to every single class (and be on time)
Record the class lecture
Take notes as well as they can
Ask questions or write questions down for asking the teacher, another student, or tutor later
If frustration is an issue during lecture acknowledge it (maybe make a note about it), set it aside, and get back on the task at hand: listening and taking notes
Re-copy ALL of your notes from the last lecture before going to the next lecture
Review those re-copied notes. Ideally this would be with a classmate or someone who will listen. Whether someone else or just yourself is the audience HERE'S YOUR CHANCE TO TEACH THE SUBJECT, PUTTING IT INTO YOUR OWN WORDS AND UNDERSTANDING
Know your professor's office hours and, if there is one at your school, the math lab's hours, and ask questions there.
Know your professor's office hours and, if there is one at your school, the math lab's hours, and ask questions there. - it's just that important
There are likely various strategies for going about your development of math skills. The search the most efficient means of learning for you could take a long time. Then to find someone to teach to you in that style is not something you want to leave up to chance as opposed to the steps listed above... which you mostly can control.
If the process of mastering your math skills means taking time away from other subjects, guess what: take the time away from the other subjects. If you don't master math, particularly Calculus, you Will NOT succeed at becoming an engineer. With that in mind, and with my knowledge of CE curriculum, which means digital logic, I suggest you also start studyingdiscrete structures.
In summary: LEARN THE (current) SUBJECT WELL ENOUGH TO PUT IT IN YOUR OWN WORDS == BEING ABLE TO TEACH IT TO OTHERS
Sheesh! I think I just summarized the whole (original) purpose of education. Imagine that.
The only reason non-oss companies are able to offer support is that everyone has paid upfront and then some have later paid for 'support'. So, to support something where practically no one has paid upfront the costs go up significantly.
Also, as far as using a workstation: given a choice between managing my own *Nix box at work or using a company provided installation of Red Hat WS, I go with doing it myself. Here's why:
No licensing
No worrying about Red Hat binaries sucking (I prefer KDE and Red Hat is the only Linux distro that has consistently produced software that crashes on me.)
Portability of location because of no licensing
I absolutely hate the GNOME desktop: for example Ctrl-k in Evolution (please select some email and then do Ctrl-k then explain why Ctrl-k is never used for that functionality nor is it documented any where in Evolution or GNOME that Ctrl-k does anything let alone what you'll find that it does)
Freedom: it really boils down to that.
So, I went with 64bit Kubuntu (VMWare actually works quite nicely on it) and it's free and easy.
Slashdot Mirror
Yeah, I was going to bring that up... but it wouldn't have been as dramatic.
It sure is quiet here.

his children have suffered the full consequences of their actions
Not until the RIAA sues them for unjust amounts of money for each song they have and might have downloaded illegally.
Hopefully.
Be prepared to spittle on yourself some more:

I hope someone besides me tries to answer this question.
Which courses you take absolutely matter and who cares what learning besides math has helped you; that wasn't what the dear reader is asking us.
That which has helped me the most is Discrete Structures, which wasn't even offered as a math class, but as a CSE class.
Yeah, maybe, but then Gena would have an excuse for being... well, what he/she is.
This must explain why fasting (as in: only drinking water) for more than two days: you get cold and, according to the Old Testament, renew your youth.

I've started to switch my shell in windows.
So far I've used:

SharpE is very, very nice and worth a gander or two.
Does that person work in a public or private center? If it's private, might computer professionals have more money to be able to afford to work there?
Otherwise, I think you hit it on the head with the area where the tunnel-visioned worker lives.
I'd heard about that.
Sure makes some things a little bit easier.
Exactly, but you seem to be supporting pornography which is not being kept private; the 'consenting adults' are making it other people's business also.
So, please take a side or clarify yourself.

That's right: it's a tedious work around I don't have time for at my work.

I agree.
In the past it's been unstable and now it's just clunky and doesn't seem as smart as traditional X11 desktopping.

Accurate summary.

Thanks for the tutorial; it should be posted to Wikipedia.
