I realize that you and the broader movement for denying human-caused global are not pro-pollution, but those are the bedfellows you're lying down with. The net result of your movement is more pollution and more environmental degradation. I just keep hoping that well-intentioned people would be willing to table the academic questions about what's causing global warming until we've achieved the goals I think we mostly agree on; to stop crapping up our planet.
Perhaps you can help me with something I genuinely don't understand. Why is it that there is such a passionate movement for wanting more pollution, more shitty water, more shitty air, more shitty soil? Even if you don't agree with the science that shows global warming is manmade, why not work to clean up the environment anyway? I don't understand what motivates you.
I can only speak for Missouri schools, 1985-1997: Nothing. No abstinence talk, no sex ed, no mention of sex whatsoever. I imagine that if they'd tried, the neighborhood would have burned the school down.
Moreover, if you ever manage to build a software company where the product team and the sales team aren't perpetually trying to strangle one another... THAT'S your product right there. Tell the world how to do that. In my experience you'll be the first. =)

For built-in suspend this is true. TuxOnIce offers, among other things, suspend-to-file support which eliminates the need to keep gobs of swap around if you don't want to.
The chief advantage over the iPod OS is that it plays flac and ogg vorbis files, as well as many formats of video if your player's CPU is fast enough. It also lets you move media to and from your your player by simple drag-and-drop operations; you don't need a special app to load it, build the iTunes database, etc.
Disadvantages? Well, the interface is different. I like it, you might not.
But, anything based on satellites will always have a latency that's a few hundred milliseconds on the side of uncomfortable if you want to do anything interactive, like gaming or video chat. Bandwidth is happy though.

Nope. Let's get you straightened out.
The BIOS provides two sets of ACPI tables; one good, working and one which isn't even intended to work. It checks what OS string the kernel hands it when it boots. If Windows, it sends the good tables. If Linux, it sends the deliberately faulty ones.

So suspend.

Don't forget, this is how it works.

As much as I loathe meta-discussion, I'll just say that IMO these useful (topic) tricks threads are fantastic. Keep them coming!
But does it has a flavor?

We here in the US do _not tolerate_ a nation which invades and occupies another sovereign nation.
# EPS conduits can also predict pregnancy when you pee on them. I'd like to see your copper wire do that!
I think you're confusing it with the primary EPT manifold.
Or with inverse tachyons. Those little fuckers can detect anything.

The EPS (electrified plasma system) is basically the power grid of a starship, it has to go anywhere that needs electricity.

If you're using a relatively modern distribution, you're already using PulseAudio for sound, and thus have parec.
