I also enjoyed fairy tales. However I never had any help from my parents. I went to the bookstore and found myself what I liked. Bought a lot of second hand pockets for almost nothing (and later saw them raped on the wide screen)
I was about 13 or 14 when I started buying my own books. Neither of my parents had any interest in SF.
This can be also the other way around. Perhaps your kids have absolutely no interest in SF. If they do, let them look in your library or look online what the story is about and see if they like it. If they don't, they will have other interests (that might mean nothing to you)
Learn them to make their own decisions. When it is your own pocketmoney, you sure as hell will buy something you know will be good. Go with them to a bookstore and let them choose. You might learn what their interests are.
I had the same thing happening on a Linux box. File of several Peta bytes. Took a few days until I noticed that the backup was still running making an MD5SUM of the file.
Live in Belgium, Flanders or the Netherlands and you will likely not learn the language, because everybody speaks English to you. Even at the supermarket or when taking the bus.
Their English will almost always be better then your Dutch. This will make the conversation easier. I can imagine the same is true for the Norther countries in general. This will also mean you will have very little time to excersise the things you have learned.
I have seen this with many people and only after a few years do they start to speak Dutch and this mainly because they have a native partner.
I have thought about this and come to the conclusion that I was wrong. This is indeed possible. All they need to do is copy the One Click Install from openSUSE: http://en.opensuse.org/Standards/One_Click_Install
The main disadvantage is that each software program will still need to do this. The main advantage is that there will be people who collect these repositories and place them on their website.
I see no real new ideas that I think are worth mentioning. They still look the same as we have them now.
No real new ideas. I am looking for something that is small enough to fit in my pocket, like a cellphone AND large enough to be able to have 1600x1200 in a readable manner AND use an easy way to enter data AND being able to add modules that I need AND...
All I see is OR/OR ideas.
Why do people buy expensive phones? Two reasons. because they want to show off and because they want to have these different functions in one system. Why do people walk around with portables? Because they have no serious other option.
What I see as the future is having one more things that are small enough to have with you, yet power full enough to connect to a screen and a keyboard at where I work and at home.
Something like a Nokia Communicator. Add an interface that connects to whatever is needed and you are done. Come to think of it, this is already possible. Just mount your portable device and you have the data.
Such a standard exists not so much as a standard under Linux. Each distribution does this. The reason is that each distribution CAN do this because of GPL or other licenses. When you are talking about closed source, this will become almost impossible.
Obviously Microsoft can do this for their own product. What if you run Opera and Photoshop as well? Microsoft can not be asked to do the updates for them, because they did not provide them.
It could work with some sort of contract, but then there are companies who might not be able to get such a contract. This due to unwillingness at both sides.
As it are mainly non-technical people how often do they need to connect to a certain machine by hand?
I would give them two names. One by function, like sales or marketing and that is what they will use: http://sales./ Once the machine gets a new task, you re-point it. One name for the technical people.
Also look if there are different segments where they will be used, so that a segment is very easy to recognise.
Be carefull with groupnames that can not be very large, like planets. There you will very soon need to be naming moons and people might not know the names of the moons.
As the people tjought it was not clear, why not ask THEM how they see it. They are the people who are going to use it and it might be easier for you to addept to them then the other way arround.
Naming shemes I have seen everything from mere numbers over beers to the obvious start trek names.
look up the contributors to your representatives before voting, and strike anyone who has accepted money from the entertainment cartels or their lobbyists.
I think you should also look up why they did not accepted money. Perhaps it was not (yet) offered and when the people who take it now are not elected, they will be the next generation happliy taking that money.
A lot depends on the light around you. If there is a lot of light, you might want to use brighter colors. If you type in the dark, less contrast and darker colors might be good. Also the colors used on your desktop are important.
Considering that many ISPs want to close P2P as well, because they do not actually want traffic on their lines, I do not see it as a problem for the ISP.
What the ISP want is to sell you X amount of traffic and each MB another Y amount of money, while they themselves do not need to pass on that money. Less traffic is GOOD for the ISP
How about not having an AC in every room and building, but build them with heat in mind. When I was in Portugal it was 48C during the day, yet the building was cool, even though there was no AC.
Thick walls and closing the shutters during the day (when you are not there anyway) was all that it took. You might need some extra light, but that will still, be cheaper then using an AC and have all that hot sunlight come in.
In the winter it is also easier to keep warm. And put on a sweater in the winter when you are at home. No need to walk around in a t-shirt. That makes a difference of several degrees and thus heating bills right there.
Look at it in another way. If you have a 4 core and 25% outage, you also will have that on a 1000 cores.
The difference is that the outages are not measured per individual CPU. So if you have 10% outage, each person will be affected that has 1000 cores. If you have 1 core, then 10% of the people is affected and completely screwed.
I could imagine that a certain amount of bad cores could become tolerable to keep the price down. e.g. if you have 1024 cores, the guarantee will be 1.000 working cores. With 64 cores, it will be e.g. 60 cores for the guarantee. Want better guarantee? Pay more!
Bit like the amount of pixels that can be broken before the screen is considered broken.
I all of Europe incoming calls and texts are free by default. Only if it is from special numbers for text messages you have requested or if you are in another country (roaming) you will need to pay for incoming calls.
It is up to the person dialing whether he wants to call me or not and pay for it. I can not decide to receive one message, but not the next.

In Europe I have seen pre-sales prices of the Linux version and the version went on sale with Windows. That was about 40EUR more.

Great!. Now everybody will think I have a hidden partition, because I have she-male porn. Uh I mean, never mind.

There are 11 people in the world. Those who know binary and those who don't.
I call it a change of mind. I could easily have said he was guilty and now say he is not or the other way around without any problem.
It is people who never change their minds are the ones who are or should be the odd one out.

Why bother if you can just copy the test itself?
