    I think we're assuming that we not only have a `clue', but also are on varying gradients of cluelessness. In this case, just about any clue will do, but in other situations we may want the users with a higher calibre of clueity.

    I run a massive data center for my employer. We have several layers of security, firewalls, doors, etc...

    But the most important security system we have are the armed guards patrolling the premises 24/7. We've set up a frequency where someone on the inside can always be in contact with them, and as soon as something seems amiss, they'll let us know right away. Then we can call the police, so long as the predators aren't taken out by the guards before the cops arrive.

    Let me tell you, these guards are armed strong, and unlike your response teams, they're always on site, already there to tackle your every move.

    I should also mention this is my house (I often work from home, and stuff is stored on my computer). Security is provided in the form of a cracked wireframe door and a wooden one. I might also add these doors can be locked.

    Technically every computer in the house has a `firewall'. I should note the crappy router also has a form of `firewall', so that's several layers. You'll also have to enter at least three (3) doors before you can get to any computer or the high-security firewall (the router).

    It also goes without saying that the aforementioned cats are fully armed with razor sharp claws and teeth, and are dangerous. As soon as they spot you, or feel a bit hungry, they should make a sound at a frequency that anyone would hear.

    Trespass at your own peril.

    Regrettably. I used to go to University of Melbourne (Australia) where it is still used today, and Monash University now where WebCT was once used, but now has also been turned into Blackboard. WebCT sucked anyway, but now it's just ten times worse. Still, all the syllabus, lecture notes, grades, weekly tests are put up there, and it makes uni life just that much worse.

    There's nothing wrong with a terminal-based program! They're certainly no less programs than GUI-based ones, otherwise you could pretty much kiss the entire history (and indeed, present) of Linux good-bye. Most of the more useful programs are based on just using descriptor-based output; eg. MMORPG servers, .. indeed, *any* type of server, some particular other things; FTP clients, and so on.

    Python does make it very easy to get a GUI up with GTK or whatever, but don't underestimate the terminal!

    Well, Danny;

    See o3one. Bad site (that colour!), but nice idea. The kernel has some interesting bits in it - to say the least. How the code is in the kernel is nothing like what anyone should ever consider for anything but OS-level code.

    Application programming is fun, sure! But the paradigm of C++ is much better suited for it than C. Python and Ruby are good bets, too, as they ease one out of the normal mindset of programming.

    I'm going to accept for the moment that your name is Daniel (Danny?).

    My name's Yuki. Nice to meet you.

    Now that I'm not a stranger, I'm not actually pushing you around either. The Linux kernel is a work of art, yes, but the code sure isn't pretty; I've worked on it. Kernels can be written in C++ too, and I really do suggest that you take a look at it.
