I second this. I recently bought an amd tbred 1800+ and a k7s5a pro r5, my first cpu install. It installed flawlessly, and is running great now. All those horror storys are FUD, installing a chip is simple, as is installing a heatsink.
"With a console, you might not get the best quality in graphics, but hell, you pay $200-300 and the machine lasts 5 years, and you get quite a nice selection of quality games (that's really a bias, I started out on the NES...). "
Whos to say games ever 'expire'?
I still play a good game of nethack every now and then, and enjoy a lot of snes games. Of course, my main addiction is counterstrike (not the newest game, but not exactly old either), so ymmv.
Console games sell mostly because they 'just work'. no corrupted files, no driver updates, no odd chipset bugs, you just throw in a disk and it works.

That command is incorrect, I'm assuming you forgot to poste in extrans, so your got chopped off.
the correct way to run that would be du -cks/home/* |sort -rn | head -n 10
But that isnt verry accurate, smart users will hide files in/tmp, their mail spool, or wherever else. A proper admin would check the filesystem quotas, or in a pinch:
for user in `cat/etc/passwd |cut -d: -f1`;do echo -n $user:; expr `find / -user $user -printf "%k + " 2>/dev/null` 0;done |grep -v:0$
Then again, IMO to be a good admin you must be one with your shell, so YMMV
Anybody remember the User Mode Linux VM escape exploit? Seems more elegant than nuking your machine. At DefCon X, Gobbles announced a simmiler vulnerability in vmware, though no exploit or advisory has been released so far. For anyone that assumes they're just fear mongering, They also announced the zero day apache bug there, which I'm sure you all remember.
Moderation is for comments; the zoo system is for users. -1, Troll is for posts that are a troll, not for trolls. If a user is a troll and you dislike trolls (How could you? we're cute and have long colored hair with a little diamond on our stomachs), add them to your foes list and set the foes modifier to -5.
Even trolls post useful/funny comments, discriminating against them is pointless since it will probably be hit with M2, or even other mods fighting you.
That just made me think about something. You know all that hype about terrorists using the internet to communicate (hence the 'need' for carnivore/echelon/dcs1000/whatever)..
Our govt aided terrorism. These terrorists are being harbored by isps - "We will make no difference between the terrorists and those who harbor them".
So there you have it, We need to take immediate action against ISPs. Our military is obviously too busy over in iraq, so lets do big brother a favor and go bomb AOL ourselfs. Whos with me?
Thats why I love strace. Almost all programs have very nonuseful output, but a quick strace will tell me the problem. An example being I had two eggdrops that would disconnect after linking without giving an exact reason why, and I couldnt find any docs explaining it. Quick strace and I saw it was trying to make a connection to a local address, so I specified the ip in the config and it worked like a charm.
Since then I've been hitting strace before docs as it usually solves the problem.
You forget that its almost 5am in most of the united states. Sure, there are plenty of posters in other countrys, But this is when slashdot decieds to break^H^H^H^H^Hupdate their slashcode install, so just assume somethings broke.
A better idea that me and a friend were throwing around would be something that would monitor strace output and tell you exactly what files were created, moved, edited, etc. I dont think you could make an undo edit(can you?) but the rest would be fairly trivial to spit into an uninstall.sh. Optionaly, you could use this to generate the base of an install script also.
Of course, This wouldnt work in the wonderful world of windows, but it's still a nice idea.
It helps you easily see how cluttered and interlinked parts of the kernel are, and by comparison, how clean others are. I liked the way it went into detail(sorta) on the net/, seeing ipv4 compared to ipv6, etc.
Then again, its 4:17am and I'm sleep deprived. I'd be impressed by anything more intelectually stimulating than girls gone wild infomercials.

"and my ex-gf used to use altavista."
she supported that intrusive crap? I'd of dumped her to.
lol, yeah, I think my worst was typing cd .. as cd // right before a rm -rf *
luckily it was on a friends fresh redhat install so there wasnt much loss.
You just removed all of your aliases. I hope you have a backup.

You're entirely right, Its nonsensical bullshit. You overlooked the most important step, step 3) Profit!
There is lots of money to be made from software patents, so it dosnt matter how stupid the idea is- it will work.

Just because the MPAA dosnt release it until it would make them the most money does not mean the dvds don't exist.

Most ISO warez kiddies have access to 100mbit pipes, They'd eat this up given the chance.
Also, who needs servers when all of your peers have 100mbit both ways?
Whats your website, and where can I get a list of users?

You must have a short memory. It wasnt that long ago that OpenSSH was trojaned, and thats about as secure/public an example as you need.
