Have you tried PowerShell? It has replaced the "MS-DOS Prompt" if that is what your experience is of. In some ways PS is more advanced than UNIX, for example it allows you to pass data in an object-oriented fashion, avoiding the need to constantly parse data delimited with spaces with various commands (awk, sed, xargs...).
Ummm yeah, we're talking about the other way around. Can you open my PPTX resume with star-wipes on your 13 year old platform/software?
No, we are talking about the right way around. The compatibility pack allows an older version of Office to open files saved with a newer one. More or less, it actually does work.
It is sometimes hard to make a good progress bar for certain procedures. In such case, please don't even try. No one wants to see those bars that sit at 0% for three minutes and then jump to 100%. Leave the progress bar out completely or use one of those "infinite" bars that just have block sliding from left to right, or the Win8 spinning pearls animation.
The AMD Catalyst installer progress bars are my favorite comedy example. It's jarring that such a high-profile product can have such a hacked solution in place.
If you are doing fine in school (passing courses etc.) why not just complete it? Two years will go really fast and a degree is always a nice addition to your experience. At the same time you can prepare your web development career.
BIOS flashing shouldn't be that scary thing that might brick your computer. It's just software. Manufacturers should take the responsibility that their BIOS updates work.
If you want to be paranoid, safe, ahead of the curve, compromise what you can do, then remove flash. If you want the internet the way it is then you'll still need flash.
Yeh. For pragmatists, just having Flash running is the way to go. For select websites only, of course.
Minitube is actually really nice, it's just a shame that it does not really support all the functionality of YouTube. It's best suited for watching random stuff.
I wonder if a nice addition would also be to convert the source to C++? Maybe to help with maintainability without causing much of a performance overhead.

You actually have to flip the variables around.
progress = current / total

I found a secret download link from their website which allowed me to nick it for free!

The screen is the biggest power consumer, but that doesn't mean that the power consumption of other components shouldn't be paid attention to.
Just remember that you have to craft a quite custom software setup if you want to actually do something useful with the cluster.
Use it to create some cool 3D animations. You could possibly set up the system to render using all the CPUs.
Made me actually crave Mtn Dw.
Gotta grab a bottle tomorrow.
I think it's partly about what we are used to. Even "giga" sounded funny to me at first.
True, but some of that space is set hidden for wear leveling. The user space is still rounded to GBs.
I say "gib".

I want this thing running linux before the month is out.
Why?
Nerds want everything for free?
And during later years Apple will be remembered being the one which "invented" this thing.

Gotta add that VLC can play YouTube videos too. In XFCE I was able to create a launcher for VLC and drag'n'drop URLs to the icon.
.. fine, because now I use SumatraPDF, small fast no nagware no nagdates .. I feel great!
Windows 8 comes also with a nice Reader app for PDFs.
Not everything has to be free. I understand the need of broadcasters to protect their content.

Because software is engineering, not science.
Says who? Maybe some purely experimental projects (and I'm not necessarily saying Hurd is one) can be very useful too.
