Based on what bittorrent is telling me, the cinnamon disks are 915 or 928mb depending on arch, the mate desktop ones are both "1.0gb" - so they may or may not fit on a 1gb flash drive (depending on if a geek or a marketing designer labeled said drive)
Someone - I think Cisco - has a server based application very similar to Cisco's PacketTracer - server based virtualization for both machines and networking equipment. Forget the name of it though.
With a multiplayer FPS, large parties with CTF or similar team settings were always a blast, esp with the smack talk going on.
We have 2 labs here at work, separated by a sliding glass door. One team on each side, door open enough to hear the smack talk, but not necessarily the instructors from a team or squad type leader.
Please don't paint us all with such a large brush. We've just had a similar disclaimer automagically added to our emails (only one per mail, so replies, etc. don't have multiple copies on them), but according to our college's lawyer, it is state mandated.....
According to RMS in "Revolution OS" the difficulties with their attempt at the microkernel is in the timing of messages back and forth to all the little sub processes/daemons/whatevers
Use the tools that make you happy and keep you productive.
Lots of us drive old cars - manual transmission, dim lights due to old corroded 6v electricals, always hunting for a good supplier for non-E added gas (eats the gaskets, etc), hunting for parts, living with 0 to 60 times measured in the 15-20 second range, hard starting on cold mornings, no AC, no radio, or AM only radio (or AM, FM, and Shortwave, which is kinda cool). No seatbelts, or lap belts only.
But with out all the mod cons, the old cars are still fun to drive and driving them puts a smile on our faces.
But... when it comes to work place... do what the paycheck signers want you to do. Keep others productive, don't let your enjoyment of the old stuff get in the way of getting the company's business done.
Back In The Old Days, we'd have to wait outside for our pizza delivery. Otherwise one of our many fellow student neighbors would claim it as theirs just to get one *now* instead of calling themselves...
Yup, but every little bit helps especially if you are in the early group.
I started the torrent just before my above post and for a while after getting the whole disk images (i did netinstall and cd-1 for both i386 and amd64) I was uploading at close to 3mb/s for a short while. They've dropped off slowly, down to a trickle of a few K per sec up, so I killed the off about 10 minutes ago. Still, 20gb worth of upload... 20gb I don't need, and 20gb that Debian (or whoever) doesn't have to pay for.
Or hit a car rental agency and see if the on-board computer allows an "average MPG" display... my old '88 Olds Calais had it, my '99 altima doesn't, my 2012 Mazda CX does.
And if you feel it was, perhaps you're better off running Debian testing or some other bleeding-edge distribution, and reserve time for dealing with the "bleeding" aspect of "bleeding edge".
Yup, this is why I keep coming back to Debian. If I need latest browsers, I can add those repositories and update directly from the vendor. But now that I'm not pushing the edge of released software chasing after working 3d drivers, etc (the '99 thru '01 era, with 3dfx being the only real way to Quake/Quake2/Quake3 under Linux) I don't care to deal with any of the bleeding.
Here's your quick and easy way to give back. I don't code in c/c++, I hate writing documentation, so share some bandwidth and seed the torrents for a few hours or a few gb.
Assuming your "friend" is a USAian, then he most likely committed several felonies. Unless, he is a licensed FFL w/ SOT (aka "class 3 dealer") and had a letter of request from a le agency or military or the BATFE (should be a convienence store not a government agency) gave explicit permission for "research purposes".
That is the only BS part I'm coming up with - yes, you can use a shovel for an AK receiver flat. Google a forum name of "boris" and "ak shovel"
Sadly, those who try to live up to moral beliefs - such as only using Free software/platforms, or eating vegan - often have regrets about not being able to enjoy certain things due to their own self imposed limitations.
But, since they are self imposed limitations, it is up to the end user to keep themselves limited and miss out or to take a whack to their morals and use proprietary stuff, view stuff locked up by DRM, or eat a bacon sandwich.
Heh. I'm reading a spot of fiction/fantasy where a massive economic collapse has happened, and the Government is worrying about taxing all the barter/trade going on. Cell minutes become a currency in a heartbeat. When talking about taxing individuals, one Smart Person mentions "how do you compute 10% of a chicken? Do we just mail them 10% of it when we butcher it for dinner? The IRS is gonna be getting a lot of packages full of rotting chicken guts...."
And, if you work for a non-profit or other tax exempt many hotels, etc. will not honor the tax exempt part unless you are paying with a corporate credit card.
Even if you don't use Ubuntu, seed the torrents for a few hours. It is one way we can all contribute to Open Source - no dev skills, documentation skills, etc. required!

Yup, always happens to "the other guy"
Of course, to the other 6.something billion people on this planet *you* are the other guy!

I dunno, its very *urp* hard to debug
Grab one of the open source LMS packages - Moodle, Sakai, Canvas - and check their feature request lists, and implement a feature or three.
Form your teams, have them elect a "project manager", etc. Structured just like a "Real Job" but with a short deadline.

Unless your employer is automagically adding it to each outgoing email...
But there is a difference between cutting costs just for the sake of cutting costs, and being wasteful....
Well, guns are pretty much banned in Chicago, New York City, etc. And yet, dozens of shootings every day....
This image has a nice take on it... apparently cold weather causes violence.

Yup, right along with the first (or maybe second?) programming class - how to really test code, set ups, etc.
Of course, same can be said about Windows
Yup, but every little bit helps especially if you are in the early group.

Well, the non-profit I work for is a community college. No sales tax, no hotel taxes, etc.
BUT... have to be college bought, on a college credit card, and show the tax exempt form.
And, if you work for a non-profit or other tax exempt many hotels, etc. will not honor the tax exempt part unless you are paying with a corporate credit card.
