This is exactly the type of book I've been looking for. It seems that when you walk into Borders, every book on the shelves is something for the absolute n00b or is only a desk reference.

Frankly, I think that libraries are grossly underfunded, and while $.16 on $20 isn't a big loss for a single borrower, it's a huge gain when you think about the thousands of people who are likely to use this anonymous feature.

On Opportunity's first three drives to get out of the sand trap, the rover has advanced a total of 7.4 centimeters (2.9 inches) in getting off the dune. Each of the first two drives -- one on sol 463 and one on sol 465 -- turned the wheels about two and a half rotations, enough to drive two meters (7 feet) if there were no slippage.The team was encouraged by the results, and decided go ahead with a 4-meter (13-foot) commanded drive for sol 466.
So we can expect Opportunity to move approximately 5.8 inches next? Talk about baby steps.
Nearly all the information you can obtain in higher education can be now found on the Internet. Why bother even trying to restrict it?
While it's nearly all now, in a few years MIT will have put all of their course references and syllibi on the internet(for free). Hopefully this will cause a few other prestigious schools to follow suit. Education should be free... the paper that proves you know your stuff should not./yeah yeah, off topic.
Actually, the percentage of wrongly incarcerated prisoners is increasing. Yearly. And that's in death penalty cases alone, which stand the highest amount of scrutiny in our legal system. Approximately 1 in 75 people on death row are found to be innocent. That may be a small enough ratio for you but it's not small enough for me. With approximately 6k people executed a year in the US, that means that 80 people are executed wrongly. This number is rising, not falling. Don't go off on a tangent about something you know nothing about - it's a problem when people propogandize the internet with no knowledge of what they speak. Go sit down with a public defender, buy him or her a beer and learn something new. It'll be a horrifying experience.

Since it was already (very) slow...
1: PC Architecture
(8-Feb-1999)
The LPI program will attempt to be architecture-neutral when possible. When architecture-specific knowledge is deemed important for the purposes of the program, Intel "PC" architectures will be used for reference. Other architectures may be optionally included for testing as demand warrants.
2: Start with exam 1
(8-Feb-1999)
We require the candidates to pass all exams from #1 up to the required level.
Motivation: At the higher levels, we can only guarantee the necessary background and a complete and consistent program if the candidates actually pass the initial exams.
3: Bounding the Certification Program
(8-Feb-1999)
The Linux Certification Program will test technical skills and knowledge of Linux system administration. The emphasis will be on understanding rather than memorization.
We will not test other requisites for successful system administration like general intelligence, social and managerial skills, knowledge of legislation, financial awareness etc.
4: Jargon
(7-Jul-1999)
The Linux Professional Institute will not explicitly test on knowledge of jargon or acronyms. The examinees are expected to be familiar with concepts that have a commonly used acronym for a name (e.g. TCP/IP). However, we will not require knowledge of the actual meaning of the letters.
There will be a list of preferred terms and deprecated synonyms. Acronyms which are not explicitly listed as "preferred", should not be used. This list will also contain definitions of the terms within a certain context where this appears necessary. The list will be updated while successive tests are being developed by LPI, and the tests will be made consistent with this list.
Note: The list is currently available on LPI's Glossary Page.
5: Exam Renewal
(4-Oct-1999)
LPI will review the contents of its test objectives and exams and revise them as deemed necessary in order to provide for new material, test validity, security, and to incorporate feedback. Test objectives and exams will be reviewed at least once in two years.
6: Recertification
(Revised 19-Apr-2004)
LPI strongly encourages certificate holders to recertify minimally within a ten-year period from the date the first exam of the level was passed. Ten years from the date the first exam of the level was passed, a designation's status will change from "ACTIVE" to "INACTIVE" in the LPI database, unless the certificate holder recertifies. LPI will provide to third parties, at the certificate holder's request, information pertaining to the history of certifications(s) passed, the date the certification(s) were passed, the revision date/level(s) of the completed certification(s), as well as the designation status (ACTIVE or INACTIVE). In providing this information, LPI reserves the right to indicate the current revision level of any or all of the certification(s) passed by the certificate holder and to issue public advisories concerning changes in the content or objectives of the certification(s).
It is LPI's position that the purpose of recertification is to measure continued competence. Currently, the methods of recertification include:
Retaking and passing all current form examinations required for initial certification. After successfully passing all the required up-to-date examinations, the designation status will be updated to ACTIVE for a period of ten years from the date the first exam of the level was passed.
Earning a higher-level LPI certification designation. When a higher level certification designation is earned, the status of all lower level designations are considered ACTIVE for ten years from the date the first exam of the higher level was passed.
LPI is currently considering the development of a single "refresher" recertification exam that encompasses the content of all examinations for a particular designation, with a focus on newer developments in the field. Although LPI strongly encourages certificate holders to recertify minimally within a ten-year period, possible major revisions of Linux or recommendat

Yeah, that controller looks downright awkward. What are we supposed to do, use it like a divining rod? Looks like all your digits are going to be used to hold it.
Standard's market share of refining was 64% in competition with over 100 other refiners at the time of the trial that resulted in the government-forced breakup).
I'd say that 93% is greater than 64%, which was enough to force the federal government to breakup of Standard Oil via the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890. I could be wrong though.

End result? I aced it. Finished with time to spare. No problem at all. And my peers all reported the same thing.
Or, as a morale boosting excersize, the military told you all that you had done better.
I use the tabbed browsing extension that disables all of that bullcrap. Find it. Love it. /too lazy to google it for you.
from TFA:
For a spoofing attempt to work, a surfer would need to have both the attacker's Web site and a trusted Web site open in different windows.
So, uh, what about tabs? 'Cause I never have 2 windows open at the same time.
It takes a while to come up with a quality headline like that. And with headlines like this, who needs fark?

Stop allowing the import of manufactured goods to the US. Or the export of food to China. Harsh? Don't mess with our economy.
