A big reason why I use Windows today is because I grew up using DOS.
This is not my experience... A big reason why I use Linux today is because I grew up using DOS. Edit, compile, reboot if the compiler crashed, compile again, run, reboot if the program crashed, chkdsk the hard disk, spend an hour with Norton Utilities recovering my compiler from the mess created by the crash, etc. etc. etc. Hell, I even bought Coherent in an effort to get that garbage off my computer. Linux version 0.97 patch level 4 was so far ahead of everything else that I installed it and never looked back.
But what I don't understand is why you think knowing more will help out Linux? You don't seem to be ignorant at all, but yet you suffered through DOS, and Windows, and Microsoft's BS and Bill's Billions. Appearances can be deceiving, but your example seems to be a case of "THANK YOU SIR MAY I HAVE ANOTHER???" I might be wrong, but these little "consumers" we are educating right now are eating up all the shit that Nike, Adidas, and Microsoft are dishing out. I just don't see kids making better choices than some of us made.
For many people porn is addictive. For one of these people the addiction drives them to more frequent "use" of harder and harder porn.
Yes yes! First you're looking at nudie pictures, then you need more nudie pictures, from a slightly different angle, and then you find yourself not having much time for anything else. Neighborhood blight sets in and before you know it --- dogs and cats are living together! We must stop this terrible thing. You are so right titties are the gateway drug of the 90's. This obsession with titties is even affecting our youths! Our toddlers even! I have seen actual babies smacking their lips with anticipation of dinner. This is how we link food and porn in our society, and my brothers it has GOT TO STOP NOW. Titties are pure CRACK. Or maybe it's ass that's pure crack... No, I'm positive that it's titties. Yes, titties and a crack pipe.
I believe that long time users of pronography and younger ((lt) 21 years) begin to lose respect for people (or maybe just a gender) as people and start treating them as sex objects. This dehumanization can lead to ideas that restrict the "Unalienable rights" of citizens.
I'm right with you, brother. We've got to DESTROY our freedoms in order to PRESERVE them. We must protect our "UNALIEN" rights. By UNALIEN I think we all mean RED BLOODED AMERICAN. Alien rights on the other hand would be NON American rights, and we don't want any of those. Yes, to preserve our unalien rights, we must censor stuff, like those titties we was just talking about.
OK, enough sarchasm for now. I would hope that everyone can see my point clearly.
Thermite also needs iron oxide. There wasn't any of that there. The reaction betwen aluminum and iron oxide yields aluminum oxide and molton iron, plus a large amount of excess heat.
The energy needed to start the reaction (which is self sustaining after ignition) is supplied by a magnesium fuse usually.
Seems to suck way more than the other engines. If you click on North America, it drops you into some random location that you can't click out of. So, I typed in my city name and clicked exactly on my house. The zoomed in map that came up was about 25 miles off target.
It's still not going to be as fast as a cannon fired projectile. The maximum damage a weight dropped from altitude can do would be less than a cannon firing solid shot of the same weight. The difference here is that 60 lbs. is more weight than a typical cannon ball.

Thanks, good to know. But personally I won't have to worry about this. All of my gcc code is permanently under development. I once read about something called "optimization". I hope to use it when I get a program completed, someday.

First, we get a story about the future of 3D first person shooters (the elusive virtual world) and now we've got a story about giant floating barges and condominiums.
Now where do you find information like that? For years I have tinkered with electronics, but I have never ever found anyone that could explain what the real differences betwen caps were. Another big question I have is why doesn't anybody seem to sell the tuner coils that can be found so easily in a transistor radio. I can get the tuner coils used from old radios, but if I try to buy a new one, nobody can seem to sell me one.

Super Hard Steel

Those metals have something else that makes them expensive: machining. They are hard metals, and it costs a lot of money to make something out of them. Of course, if we have cheap super hard steel, then we can make machine tools out of it, and cutting titanium won't be any problem. Then, you get to figure out how to make welding titanium cheap and easy.
I think right now, I'd love to see someone make a good turbopump out of this super hard steel. But with our luck, the inventor is probably thinking about frying pans and rakes.
I have that CD right on my wall. It's a clock now. Old distros are useful even if you're not going to install them. Sometimes they come on pretty CDs. Just go to www.klockit.com and get a $5 clock movement for that CD that's just too pretty to throw away.

I define marketing as an attempt to influence the decisions I make by subverting the reasoning process. Given enough accurate information, I can tell you what I think about a situation, or what product is better, or whatever. When people become concerned that I will make the *wrong* decision (from their perspective) they use marketing.
The earth and beer are so much alike. For example, nobody can truly own either one. The earth is nearly eternal, and we are just custodians of it for a little while. And all we can really do with beer is delay it a little while on it's long trek to the sea.
If someone pulls a gun on you, run that damn red light. I don't know why you didn't hit the gas as soon as you saw that thing.
And always wear your seatbelt. If someone tries to carjack you and hops in the passenger seat, what are the chances he's going to have his seatbelt on? Slim. Drive your car into a telephone pole at about 40 MPH (aim for his side of the car). You'll probably live, he'll probably be hurt. That's a lot better than getting to where ever he wanted to take you.
The copying times are real close so that shouldn't make much of a difference. Same with the reading.
The deletes are a different story. ext3 and reiser are quite a bit slower than jfs and xfs.
xfs and ext3 are pretty fast for writing.
So, I come to a different conclusion than the article does. For best all around performance, use xfs.
Now, which one of all these is considered to be the most stable? All the performance in the world won't matter if the code hasn't matured to a point where files won't be scrambled.
Here is where you ask not what your fellow AC's can do for you, it's what you can do for your fellow AC's. And then you declare your intention to do that not because it is easy, but because it is hard. Then someone takes a shot at you.
This would be actually *more* fun. Think of it. Get a vasectomy when you're young. Don't worry about the pill, or condoms, or gels, or creams, or diaphrams, or withdrawal (Vatican Roulette). When you want to have a kid, just get a cell from somewhere and do it.
And finally, if men are really obsolete that's a pretty good excuse to get out of housecleaning and yardwork. "Sorry honey, we're going to have to find someone else to mow the lawn. I'm OBSOLETE, you know."

Private school teachers are paid less than public school teachers. So, you're wrong about the cause of low teacher pay.
